Vargas 🔥

Teel RBI single.

Thanks all the games run together 😂 .it did cross my mind that what I typed wasn't true. Should have checked.

These Mets starters are the best in baseball with a very good under 3 ERA. Very surprising.

13 game hit streak. So impressed with him.

Good call. I was thinking before the game that he'd been so good lately that on the road it NY he seemed ripe for a clunker. If I had remembered he missed a start because of his back I would've been even more convinced he'd have a tough time today.

No the replay showed Nimmo had rounded 2nd then reversed himself and was on his way back to 1st .Soto was fooled by Nimmo thinking it was a catch and he ran towards his dugout. Maybe once he passed 2nd it eliminated the force out but then again Nimmo also kind of untouched 2nd base when he thought it was caught because he went back to 1st . I didn't see Venable out there questioning why it wasn't 2 outs so guess it was the right call ? But it's so rare Id have been out there saying hey that's a DP isn't it ?

That's why I wanted 2 outs. Rather have had Alonso lead off the inning.

Why not 2 outs force at 2nd base on Nimmo and Soto out of the baseline ?

I'm starting to think Vargas is the real deal.

They don't want a record closer to the Angels. They want the 2026 number 1 pick in the draft.

No Pantera .

Now do Rojas next.

Competitive because of starting pitching. But winning the opener against a good team on the road isn't in their DNA yet.

Listening to the Mets TV broadcast I see.

Except he wasn't closing the game. Doubtful he would've pitched the 9th . Closers usually just pitched the 9th.

Dumb play by Taylor letting Nimmo reach 2nd

Doogie very impressive. Even moreso with the ump taking the low outside corner away from him against lefties .

Nice using 4 pitches frequently and a 5th twice.

No cluth hitting today. Might cost them later.

Bags juiced. Palacios lucky on 2 straight pitches not called strikes.

Amazing work from Houser for 2 starts. Strange you can just get this from a guy in mid May. And he picked the Sox because he knew he'd go right into the rotation.

I'm pretty sure meant showing a veteran presence for a guy his age .

Thanks for swinging 3-0 Alonso. Great 4 innings . Sox up 1-0. Happy Memorial Day and thank you for your service to those it applies ! 🫡🇺🇸

Nice to hear Plesac. He's a Sox fan.
