Other Games Week of 5/31

[Tim]

So...

 

The Mets lost 2-1 today. But that's not the funny part. I'm not sure I've ever seen a team take 13 walks in one game and only score one run.

 

-------- eta

 

So that's why I've never seen it:

 

Today's win is only the 2nd since 1913 where a team won a game with their pitchers combining for 13 walks and one or fewer runs allowed.

[Tim]

Oh...and Matt Albers (the reliever) drove in the winning run.

[Tim]

Mookie Betts with another two home runs tonight, giving him five in two days.

So combined with their 7 hits, the Mets had 20 baserunners in 13 innings and only got 1 run. I suppose hitting into 5 DPs will help with that.

It looks like Trea Turner is getting called up.

[CyHawk_Cub]

It looks like Trea Turner is getting called up.

 

First thing he should do is buy Dusty some fishing tackle, get on his good side. Otherwise, he'll probably ride the bench while Dusty continues to trot out Danny Espinosa & his stellar 68 wRC+

I thought about that but Dusty loves him some speed.

[BigSlick]

RA Dickey has to have the pretty uncommon 4 IP 0 H 1 R 5 BB and 0 K line

 

I mean, for a knuckleballer, its not THAT weird, but still pretty lol

Pirates lose. Magic Number: 100.

 

A week ago people were worried because the Pirates were beating up on the Braves, Rockies and DBacks. Now they're 9.5 back.

[Andy]

Corey Seager is crazy good. 2 more homers tonight.

[soccer10k]

Biggest comeback since the Mariners blew a 12-run lead to the Indians in 2001.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Melvin Upton with a wicked slide to straight steal home.
