![]() ![]() But I do worry about wasting opportunities like this when the schedule’s about to get a heck of a lot tougher. I’m not worried about the offense not catching up to a pitcher as good as Senga, especially after the month they just had. The 2-1 loss calls to mind the season’s early months, where the Mariners let so many winnable games slip away. One wonders what Cabby could have done with Dominic Canzone’s two-out single. But the pinch-running Jose Caballero got himself picked off before the next pitch was even thrown. In an outcome we probably would have been happy with if the Mariners were out of it, Daniel Vogdor Vogelbach drove him home with the game-winning RBI when he ended a 9-pitch at-bat by serving a ball the opposite way.Ī Sugar-free Mets team gave the Mariners a chance in the ninth, with Cal Raleigh working a leadoff walk. But the Mariners left him out there, whereas the Mets were able to do more with their 8th inning.įacing Andrés Muñoz, who’s clearly still searching for his slider, Francisco Lindor got on, stole second and took third on a wild pitch. That ties literally Ichiro for the franchise record. The eighth inning saw Julio get a two-out double for his 300th career hit, which also gave him 30 hits in his last 11 games.

But again, the Mets matched that, with Brandon Nimmo launching a middle-middle fastball 416 feet. Crawford could do a little something with one of Senga’s only mistakes, sending a cutter 412 feet into the New York night. ![]() Some might be concerned about the Mariners bats, but what the heck were they supposed to do with this? Kodai Senga’s swinging strikes tonight At the time I’m writing this, their 16 and 15 whiffs are both in MLB’s top five for the day. Mostly though, it was Mariners whiffing on forkballs and Mets whiffing on fastballs. At 117.1 mph, it was harder than any ball Seattle has hit this year too. Most emblematic was Ronny Mauricio’s first MLB at-bat, in which he recorded the hardest hit ball the Mets have had all year. It carried a weird caveat that when batters weren’t striking out, they were torching the ball. ![]() ️ /Qexw6xhgzD- Rob Friedman September 1, 2023Īll night went on like this. ![]()
