The Mets have taught me not to sit down waiting for game notes that may never come, so I will make my own.
PETE ALONSO homered in his first straight game Pete has hit six homer runs this season, tying him for 60th best in The Major League Baseball with famous baseball payers R. Grichuk and M. Garver who are actual people.
With SIX home runs in the Mets’ first 33 games, Pete is on pace to hit an amazing 29 home runs this season.
This is Pete’s third MLB season. In Ike Davis’ third MLB season, Ike hit 32 home runs.
Today’s starting pitcher MARCUS STROMAN had a baby attack earlier this year when weather conditions were not perfect. Fortunately for Marcus, today’s game is in a dome.
The Mets come into today’s game 18-13 with a half game lead over the Phillies. The Mets have won 7 of their last 10!
After teh game, the Mets will take a torturous 90 minute chartered flight from Tampa to Atlanta where they will sleep in a 5 star hotel with catering, and then have to play a night game on Monday after a day game on Sunday, with all that travel in between. Life is hard in the major leagues.
