Mets Series in Review: @Barves

My reaction to being swept with deGrom, Syndergaard, and Harvey scheduled

Last Series

Dates:  June 19-21, 2015

Results: Swept! :(

L 2-1, L 6-4, L 1-0

Current Record: 36-35, 1.5 Games behind Washington

MVMet: Jacob deGrom and Matt Harvey deserved much better with their great starts, so I award them co-MVP’s. These two, but deGrom especially, feature all over the MLB stat leader boards (see the bottom of this page).

LVMet: The Mets offense. The Mets need more than a slash of .202/.260/.292 from their position players – Duda, Cuddy, Lagares, and Dilson combined for to go 4-42.

Mets are still there!

Last Series

Dates: June 12-14, 2015

Results: Win 2/3

W 5-3, L 5-3 F/11, W 10-8

Current Record: 34-30, ½ Game lead over Washington

MVMet: Juan Lagares had another big series at the plate, providing the go-ahead homerun Sunday that put the Mets in line for a sweep. He’s slashing .358/.358/.604, with 3 2B, 2 3B, and 2 HR in June!

LVMet: Based on recent comments, Dillon Gee was clearly not in a good place mentally when he took the mound Sunday, and it led to the Mets designating him for assignment Monday.

MVMet: It was a strong team effort led by great starting pitching, and that’s why the starting trio of Dice-K, ∂eGrom and Gee are co-MVP’s for the series, combining to allow one run in 21 IP on 19 H with 18 SO: 3 BB, and 22 GO: 12 FO.

LVMet: Colon gave the Mets a good effort, but it wasn’t good enough, and there aren’t many other options. Abreu and Young went hitless, but combined for seven at-bats. Granderson made a lot of outs, but he also hit two homeruns during the first two games.

MVMet: Not everyone to the front of the line at once… Curtis Granderson gets the nod and it’s not really close.

LVMet: Only one? Have to go with Familia, who couldn’t hold onto the lead in what was the Mets best chance to get a win this series.
