Mets 2, Twins 0: Lopez's Gem is Wasted as Twins Take Sunday Off at the Plate

[David Maro]

Time to sit Wallner down,apparently he has been taking Strike Out lessons from Joey Strike Out. He also has trouble in the field,hasn't been good in Right or Left. With Polanco out for a few days someone needs to step up. Again can't seem to put the ball in play. Correa takes a pitch down the middle,then swings at one down and away before taking again outside edge. Playoffs are coming and can't waste good SP like this.

On the Lindor double, did anyone see what kind of read and jump that Wallner got on the ball?

Jax was the victim of a soft contact extra base hit, then back-footed the next hitter on 0-2. He lost the battle to Stewart after making a bunch of good pitches. That’s just the way it goes sometimes. 

The infielder was closer to the ball but backed off because Lurch was charging like a bull.

The infielder could have had it, but Wallner has gone back to his disregard for other fielders again like he was last year.

I am concerned about Jax.  Does he have times to get right?

I was concerned about Jax entering this game. He pithed two days before then warmed up to come in the day before then pitched again. Perhaps, Rocco should have used someone else.

I was at this game on Sunday, and watching Pablo López pitch was so amazing. Even made the poor batting bearable.

It’s the sight of such a dominating performance from the mound that thrills a true fan. The expressions on the faces of his many strikeout victims were priceless.

I have to agree about the visual overload and the extremely loud and intrusive music and other noise. It is the only part of attending games in person this year that I find so disagreeable. (Though exiting from the parking ramps after the game can also be a major pain.)
