Mets to face one of the Five Aces, Steven Matz today!

Well there’s no way the Mets can win today, isn’t that right Captain Picard?

Now tell me Picard. How many aces do you see?

Steven Matz, one of the Five Aces (pictured below) that led the Mets to multiple championships is the opposing pitcher today.

HP Carlos Carrasco (1-0, 1.47) vs. LHP Steven Matz (2-1, 5.27)

Wednesday, April 27, 2022 • 1:15 P.M. ET

the Mets are off on tomorrow, before beginning their second homestand of the season, a six-day, seven-game homestand against the Phillies (three games) and Braves (four games).

The Mets own a .737 winning percentage this month…That is the second-highest winning percentage in March/April in team history…Only the 1986 team at .813 (13-3) posted a better mark in March/April…The 2018 Mets set a team record with a 17 wins in March/April, finishing the month 17-9 (.654) and we all remember that great team led by the famous Mickey Hodges!

In seven career games at Busch Stadium, Pete Alonso is 11-31 (.355) with seven runs, a double, two home runs, three RBI and six walks. Perhaps the Cardinals would like to offer a trade?

New York is 9-3 on the road this year…The .750 winning percentage is the best in the majors…New York went 2-10 in their first 12 road games last year…They did not win their ninth game on the road until May 18 (9-12), last season, their 21st game on the road.

Gary and Todd Zeile have more chemistry than Gary on Ron do on Mets telecasts

One of my many many many unpopular opinions that you guys will eventually come around on is the Gary and Ron booth.

Yes we love the Gary KEITH and Ron booth, but when Keith isn’t there, it’s like George hanging out with Eliane. They seems to have nothing to talk about. I more often than not wind up turning those games off as they have no excitement – baseball is boring, and you don’t have Keith doing his modern day Rizzuto thing to keep it interesting.

Last night I quickly noticed that Gary and Todd Zeile had way more chemistry. Gary was almost interviewing Todd, and getting a lot of out him. (and WHERE IS KEITH?)

My guess is – Ron is the steady wife who has been there for ever and Gary has heard every story that Ron has. Last night it was like Gary was on a date, and he perked up accordingly.

I think SNY needs to recast Gelbs. When Keith isn’t there they should let Gelbs sit in the booth with Gary and Ron just to bring some energy to the booth – because after a decade and half, the magic is gone with Gary and Ron.

Where is Keith Hernandez?

Last night I thought it was odd that Keith skipped St. Louis.

Tonight the booth is Gary and Todd Zelle

I remember there was a game recently, I think it was a week ago Sunday, where someone seemed to be coughing a lot in the booth. Through the process of elimination (you can’t cough while talking) I determined it was not Gary and it was not Ron.

I hope Keith is doing ok.

TLDR drGrom likely out for Mets until mid-June

Here’s what ya wanna know.

An MRI scan taken Monday of deGrom’s right shoulder revealed “considerable healing of the stress reaction on his scapula,” according to a team release. Mets doctors cleared deGrom “to begin loading and strengthening of the shoulder,” which he must do before he begins throwing. (via MLB.com)

That reports floats a timetable which, IMHO seems verrrrrry optimistic to me, in which deGrom is back in mid-June. The Mets have a 4.5 game lead. There is no reason to rush this at all.

….

So I woke up to a text from my son asking about the 9th inning.

I was watching the Scherzer part of the game but once he left the complete lack of chemistry between Gary and Ron (after a decade and a half!) made the scoreless game boring so I turned it off in the 8th.

I just watched the highlights and it seems like it was a fun 9th.

That said, no regrets. The game was boring, and I just saw the highlights. This is the part that the baseball mafia doesn’t understand – you are losing the ME crowd. Didn’t care, don’t care. Seems like it was fun, but I bet lots of things were fun yesterday I chose random Youtube videos over your billion dollar project.

On the other hand, you may have noticed that my college age son was watching. You know what has that generation watching? They bet on sports. So it looks like the sport has that right – gambling is the future.

Anyway MLB, I enjoyed my Youtube videos and had a nice sleep. Thanks for the highlight reel!
