A remember HS sliding practice in March in the gym on the gym floor. We had print outs of different types of slides. Crazy stuff, but there are absolutely ways to slide feet first and hold the bag.

I think that as long as you have video replay, and infielders holding the tag through the play, you will have head first slides. It's easier to maintain control of the base. Sliding feet first, the runner is more likely to lose contact with the base by a millimeter for a nanosecond.

IMO they gotta do something about that rule. It's not what replay was for.

I hate this with replay. It is one thing when a guy slides off or really pops up off the bag but when you need replay to see that their heel popped half an inch up off the bag - that is just going too far.

Missed strike 3 call
Leads to a walk
Leads to catchers interference on stolen base attempt
Now Nats have 2 runs

One missed call can have to much of an effect on the outcome
robot umps or a challenge per inning

EDIT pitch 2 inches lower then missed call is called strike 3 Soto .

Had them on the ropes in the 6th failed to finish them and then hardly a whimper after that. Mullins at bat with the bases loaded was the big one. 3-2 pitch to hit with the bases loaded. And Senga was not good at all. Every loss is big now. Oh well. Let's go Angels.

If you want to criticize Mendoza for not giving the take sign, that is fair. But I won't criticize Torrens for swinging 2-0. That is what hitters do nowadays. Nobody comes to the plate with the intention of taking a pitch. The game has changed over the years.

Mets fans on FB blasting Mendoza for not pinch hitting for Torrens in the 9th with either Taylor, who hasnt hit for months and has reverse splits against lefties, or Mauricio, who as we've seen is terrible as a right handed batter. But then in these groups they criticize him for almost everything.

Yeah, Mendoza didn't have any good options. Torrens was the most likely among them to get a hit, but he was also most likely to hit into a DP. Might have been a good time for a hit and run play, if such a thing still exists.

Shame that Marte was unavailable to pinch hit due to Nimmo's injury. But if he were, Mendoza might have used him in the sixth, and we would have been left with Senger. Oh well. If things were different, they'd be different. Get 'em tomorrow and win the series.

Although unless Senga (as opposed to Senger) finds his old form, we won't be winning enough series.

Another question is - can the Mets find another catcher who might be an upgrade? Hardly seems likely. The only trades they can make would be for guys who have not been on anybody's 40 man all year. (Think 2024 Eddy Alvarez.) I'm sure there are currently unemployed guys out there - one would be longtime Dodger backup Austin Barnes - but would they be an upgrade?

Thankfully the Reds also lost. Im not even going to think about the division unless we close the gap some. Which doesn't figure to happen this weekend with us visiting our personal house of horrors known as Truist Park while the Phillies will be hosting the Nats. So let's go Dbacks. Beat the Reds.

I dont trust Senga. While the Phillies have now had back to back 12 strikeout games from their starters after seeing Wheeler be lost; that is what he gave us last night.

From reading these posts, it sounds like it was a really good decision not to watch last night.

I agree with the sentiment that we're screwed if Senga doesn't get back to form. If Peterson, Manaea, and Senga were pitching to their potential, there'd be nothing to worry about. But as a group, they're not even close.

Pete helped this inning get out of control
Not even close to getting runner out at second base on a sac bunt. Easy out at first , take the first out of the inning

Ridiculous. Knowing he has that weak arm. I know they need to show something and come back in this game.

Turn your sets off there. Hard to be confident in this team reaching the postseason. They may but there is not a lot to instill confidence. Terrible road team against anybody. And most of their remaining series are away from home. Not they have been so hot at home either. Now the Nats will move on to get swept by the Philiies while we probably do what we typically do in Atlanta. I'd be surprised; pleasantly so if we are still in one of the wild card spots as the calendar turns to September. Feel for the many fans who made the trip to D.C. for this. But now its time again for the we know we have good players speech. The we just turn the page line.

Stanek may be DFA'd on Monday, as the Mets will need a starter then. It's Senga's turn, but Senga is ineffective on "normal" rest. We certainly wouldn't want him to be any less effective than he is now. Although I guess they could start Montas.

At minimum, I think Stanek will be gone when Megill returns. When that will be, I cannot say.

The Pads released Martin Maldonado recently. He was hitting .204. He's only 39 years old.

That is one unattractive line for Hamel. He was a Top 10 prospect not long ago, and arguably the team's top pitching prospect. Then he got passed over by about a dozen guys. That's a good thing. He does have Phantom Met status going for him (i.e., spent time on the roster but never appeared in a game).

I’m not a fan of streamed games and I’m not exactly sure why I have Apple+ but I have to say the video quality is very good. Sure do miss GKR, however.
