Clutch Tauchman double makes Mets pay for bad defense ! 4-0

Vargas was a simple fix. He already had a good approach and good pitch recognition. He then gained 20 lbs of muscle because they wanted him to drive the ball more. He was still making weak contact however so they identified something in biomechanics that they thought higher hands and flatter (horizontal ) bat pre-pitch would help. Robert is more complex. He's never had a good approach or particularly good pitch recognition which is why with so much bat speed and physical talent he can look so bad.

Ooh yes nice 1st inning !

By jove , I think he's got it ! Well done, sir. Hear Hear !!

If he makes no contact on any pitches did he truly make an appearance ? That's my tree falling in the forest analogy.

Tomorrow's game was moved up because of weather so noonish game time CDT.

When does Robert PH?

Yes will be very hard to get to 14 wins this month without a win today. Not getting blown out ... yet.😁

The Schuster 7 pitch inning Special.

Pretty funny.I was just going to just type his name and put a heart but I decided on 🔥 instead.

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.
