I watched Senga on his pre-game interview---he looked so locked in, saying he was ready to go and he scared me, as a Dodger fan. So I was shocked when I watched his pitching. He looked shaky from the jump.
I'm surprised they kept him in there for as long as they did. It was obvious he wasn't locked in. Maybe because he got Ohtani out, they figured he was?
I'm more worried about the pitching Their advantage is several relief pitchers that can pitch 2 to 3 innings But with the exception of Garrett the other 2 got hit Peterson and Butto
Hey 9-0 is still one game just like if it were 3-2. The bullpen is more taxed, that’s fair, but we’re just down 1-0. And maybe didn’t waste a Manaea gem! Let’s even the series, head back home and then a rest day to get the pen ready for game 3. I believe!
Good thing this is a seven game series, and not a one game series. Get a split in L.A.. That's the goal. I do wish the Mets got into that Dodgers bullpen more last night, but their bats were probably just a touch rusty after 3 days off. I expect a bounce back offensively tonight. And now, let the starting rotation do its thing the next three games. I know a 9-0 loss is tough, but they could theoretically win the next two or three and really put the pressure on LA. LFGM. Keep believing, and let's see them do what they've done all year: respond.
Great breakdown,Ryan! It seems like the Dodgers hit all the right buttons last night and now they have their strength today -the bullpen. I hope we can somehow get runs early ao we don't get tight since we can't score.
They can take the momentum right back with a win tonight. It’s far from over. If they win just one in LA, that’s considered a really good position to be in.
I honestly think that Senga was intimidated by the other Japanese stars. I don't think it was a physical issue. I think it was a psychological one. Unfortunately, since he was considered our ace, the confidence of the whole team seemed to crumble. I sure hope they can recapture their spirit.
Good morning Ryan 😢 unfortunately as a fan you have to take the good with the bad and that was really bad last night harkening back to the way the Mets played in May. Let’s hope they can bounce back, but the Dodgers looked unbeatable last night.
YOU SAID WHAT WE ALLLLLLLLLL SAY : KEEP THE PITCHING THAT GOT US HERE CLOSER TO THE TOP. SENGA BE RELIEF ONLY TIL NEXT YEAR..... BULLPEN REALLY HAS TO STUDY SEAVER MATLOCK OROSCO MCGRAW EVEN SHMOLTS PITCHING TECHNICS...SERIOUSLY.
It’s a game one loss in LA! It’s not the end of the world! Our goal is to win one of these two so if we win today, everything is right on schedule! Let’s flush this and move on for game 2 tonight
The Dodgers played a perfect baseball game. Small ball, bunting and timely hitting. Excellent pitching! Hey everyone predicted Dodgers Yankees so let’s see if we play spoiler! LGM!
When Senga dispatched Ohtani in the first, he received the fielded ball. He then did something I had not seen; he showed the ball on his palm, fingers away from the ball, displaying it to the audience as if to say " Oh, your guy? He made an out. See here it is, still in the park." But it wasn't with bravado. It was sort of Zen master. Then, as you noted he went to pieces, physically. That was not a good sign for the team. Not to worry, our team is resilient, if nothing else.
How do you short your bullpen and then begin a 7 game series with an opener? How does that happen? Repeated mismanagement of the pitching staff has plagued this team all year. What do you do if there is a 16 inning extra inning game(no ghost runner in the playoffs)? Do you pitch the precious Acuna?
If the Mets win today they will be fine. They need to win today. Play grind baseball and put pressure on them and hopefully Manaea can pitch a good game. If the Mets lose today, then this series is almost over, and it will be almost impossible to come back from a 2-0 deficit. San Diego was a much better matchup for the Mets since they play well against San Diego and Musgrove was out for the season, so now it is going to be really hard for the Mets to advance to the next round. The Dodgers clearly don't respect the Mets and think they will be a piece of cake. Mets should look in the mirror and punch them back with force. We will know today if this team is really resilient or if it was just being hot at the right time. I hope they do it because this is the perfect opportunity. The Dodgers pitching is vulnerable right now and they are wasting a golden opportunity by playing like losers. I would rather see the Yankees win it all than the Dodgers.
Statistically speaking, Senga is still the Mets best starter, and I can understand why the want to get him going as soon as they can. They were probably better off not doing it in LA though, that stadium is so damn loud with the sound system, and it can easily distract the players, especially if you're not used to it. That's all done by design for home field advantage. I honestly think it affected Senga's concentration. Yeah, Butto and Maton are horrible right now, and have been there last 4 or 5 outings. I don't see the Mets winning game 2, the offense is flat with the 3 days off. I can see them going back to NY, and winning 2 there, then having to come back to LA to finish the series. I sure hope I'm wrong though
Total, complete choke job by Mets hitters. Watching strike after strike and chasing ball after ball. Only Iglesias and Winker looked good at the plate. Then Pete chokes on a throw to 2B and Winker chokes on the bases too.
wRC+ post-season: Taylor -10 Bader -8 Alvarez -5 Marte 47 Iglesias 47 I would start McNeil in LF, Nimmo in CF, Winker in RF, JD as DH. And I would start Torrens.
They didn't hit in the last game either, other than Lindor's grand slam. Bad time for a slump. Win today, and all is forgotten. Lose today, and it's probably over.
Taylor must be benched, in addition to hitting .120, he misplayed that sacrifice fly terribly. He got no momentum catching the ball(flat footed) and his throw was 10 feet wide.
FIRST GAME WAS KINDA UP IN THE AIR. PACE OF THE PITCHING WAS AFFECTED BADLY. DUDE ISN'T REALLY READY YET. LIKE AN AIRPLANE....HE NEEDS MORE RUNWAY. NOTHING WRONG GOT PLENTY OF GAME TIME...🙏💯👍 BATTING APPROACH WAS REALLY OFF KEY. LIKE BOB SEAGER SANG IT : ' TURN THE PAGE...'
Sad to say but after the way they pistol whipped us I feel like if we don’t win tonight we are getting swept which would be an embarrassment even though we really performed above expectations we still made it here. To not even put up a fight and get steam rolled like that just awful . Senga should not get another start no matter what happens . We got here without him . Use the guys who got us here even if it means starting Megill . Megill has been solid to end the season . Yea he had a poor outing in Philly but he’s used to starting .
Terrible game, but Mets need to fight back, if they start to give up and consider the Dodgers invincible they'll go quiet. It's just a matter of breaking their confidence,if the hitters can get to the starter or hurt one of the ace relievers their aura will melt down.
The dodgers played a perfect base ball game Small ball bunting and timely hitting excellent pitching hey everyone predicted dodgers Yankees so let's see if we play spoiler
Winker also is hated around the league for being a pos and a bad teammate . Winker with that show boating HR vs Philly was bush league too . I don’t like our guys doing that . Taylor was hot ending the season and hasn’t hit a lick in the post season . We had hot bats and Quintana has been our best pitcher in the postseason . I know Mendy is a matchup mastermind but at some point you need to trust the guys who got you here . Butto has been DooDoh in the post season . Peterson is being wasted in the bp imo in a 7 game series especially . That kid earned a start . Mets historically get smoked first day on west coast trips too so hopefully that’s all this was and we bounce back and win game 2.
I’m a Dodger dude. This def has that feel like you guys gotta win to maintain hope. The new Manaea is a beast, but we light up lefties. His weird delivery might save you. Who knows. But you’re facing our bullpen and unless they crack they’re the best in baseball. Even without Vesia it’s a legendary bullpen. Ha ha. Not gonna get any work done today. I hope for pitching duels and this is set up to be one (of a sort).
The Senga debacle will be a topic of conversation for a long time. What other ball club would give away the first game of the NLCS? They're not coming back - it was a fatal decision.

Can’t win with 0 Runs
No Matter What

I honestly believe this is where the Mets are just outmatched. They had all the momentum until last night.
Feel like u just gotta believe this team as fought adversity this whole year LGFM
@@rich____eeeee410against teams that are worse than the dodgers 😂 you omg weirdos will be back home where you belong

They sure can! And they're winning 6-3 to begin the 7th.
umm…expecting a pitcher coming back from an injury to pitch like an ace seems a bit unreasonable. i think outings like this is rather normal…
Good morning Ryan 😢 unfortunately as a fan you have to take the good with the bad and that was really bad last night harkening back to the way the Mets played in May. Let’s hope they can bounce back, but the Dodgers looked unbeatable last night.
YOU SAID WHAT WE
ALLLLLLLLLL SAY :
KEEP THE PITCHING THAT GOT US HERE
CLOSER TO THE TOP.
SENGA BE RELIEF ONLY TIL NEXT YEAR.....
BULLPEN REALLY HAS TO STUDY SEAVER MATLOCK OROSCO MCGRAW EVEN SHMOLTS PITCHING TECHNICS...SERIOUSLY.
Ah , YES !
We have them right where we want them.
It’s a game one loss in LA! It’s not the end of the world! Our goal is to win one of these two so if we win today, everything is right on schedule! Let’s flush this and move on for game 2 tonight
You think they would have lost with Sean pitching? Did you notice we scored no runs
I couldn't watch so I taped both games. Now I don't have to watch can I save myself a misery
Solid commentary , gonna sub to you RY-Fink
They'll get after it later today. LGM!
The Dodgers played a perfect baseball game. Small ball, bunting and timely hitting. Excellent pitching!
Hey everyone predicted Dodgers Yankees so let’s see if we play spoiler!

Think positive Mets fan we can still do this

It’s one game… you gotta believe! LFGM!!! 💙🧡
Total, complete choke job by Senga. 4 walks in 1 1/3 innings? Then throwing 90 mph cookies down the middle. WTF? Fall on the sword.
Gotta win today’s game, LFGM!

What I want to see offensively in game 2 is good, focused at bats. The offense will need to be locked in with all the expected pitching changes.
If the Mets win today they will be fine. They need to win today. Play grind baseball and put pressure on them and hopefully Manaea can pitch a good game. If the Mets lose today, then this series is almost over, and it will be almost impossible to come back from a 2-0 deficit.

It was ugly all around. They need to clean it up and get off to a fast start in Game 2 to put this one behind them.
wRC+ post-season:
Taylor -10
Bader -8
Alvarez -5
Marte 47
Iglesias 47
I would start McNeil in LF, Nimmo in CF, Winker in RF, JD as DH. And I would start Torrens.
We need to Score

Well, that was an awakening of some sort…
Taylor must be benched, in addition to hitting .120, he misplayed that sacrifice fly terribly. He got no momentum catching the ball(flat footed) and his throw was 10 feet wide.
Maybe they should try McGill next time
The only way to Recover is to Hit Back
Exactly let’s go Mets !
You just got punched in the face. How are you gonna respond? Run away or fight?
Mets looked flat. LAD smelled blood and capitalized. It happens in baseball. Mets have great opp to bounce back and show their stuff. LFGM💙🧡
FIRST GAME WAS KINDA UP IN THE AIR.
PACE OF THE PITCHING WAS AFFECTED BADLY. DUDE ISN'T REALLY READY YET. LIKE AN AIRPLANE....HE NEEDS
MORE RUNWAY. NOTHING WRONG GOT PLENTY OF GAME TIME...🙏💯👍

Yea he had a poor outing in Philly but he’s used to starting .
Gotta flush and just move on regardless
I feel hopeless
Me too 😢
was always going to be a 7 game series
Unmitigated disaster, I love your optimism on what you've seen lol
The Mets made Jack Flaharty look like Cy Young
Terrible game, but Mets need to fight back, if they start to give up and consider the Dodgers invincible they'll go quiet.
It's just a matter of breaking their confidence,if the hitters can get to the starter or hurt one of the ace relievers their aura will melt down.
I don't believe the Mets season is a meltdown
If the Offense pulls the same crap in game 2 then confidence going to play at home isnt going to be good
Lindor is the MVP?😢
Shohei took that personal 😮
Ohtani is likely to explode and decimate the Mets ❤
Senga never should have started, it’s as simple as that. Mendoza tried to be cute. Effff him

Mets lost the first two games against Boston. But that team won 108 games
Sticking with my prediction: Mets in 6
The Mets will recover
Do you think Senga should have started ?
Do you think senga should have started
its 1 game

Mets got their butts kicked . I went to bed after the 3rd inning..one can see where it was going..
I am also a Mets and Giants fan……uuuuffff.😖😖😖.
Yo yo yo
The Senga debacle will be a topic of conversation for a long time. What other ball club would give away the first game of the NLCS? They're not coming back - it was a fatal decision.
Speaking as a Yankee fan and a die-hard Mets hater I enjoyed every minute of that embarrassing loss to the dodgers lol....
gotta be a Jets fan bro...hahahaha
Senga never should have started it's as simple as that Mendoza tried to be cut effff him
Manea gets crushed by the dodgers all the time good luck 🤣 😊
The fout adversity All year round
LGD!
Nimmo can't run... he can't play center
Yeah the injury news hadn’t come out when I talked about that possibility
Mets are going to get swept they don't belong in the MLB in My opinion bring the expos back
I honestly believe this is where the Mets are just outmatched they had All the momentum until last night 🌃🌉💤😴
Mets are going to get swept 🧹 they just don’t belong in the MLB in my opinion , bring the expos back
Could be the stupidest comment ever. Congrats 👏
@@brianreise2449I would love for the Montreal Expos to come back! Maby since the Rays stadiums roof fell off, they can play in Montreal in 25!
