The Mets lost the game yesterday in the 9th inning, but really the important game note was Amed Rosario. Rosario made his major league debut last night collecting an infield hit as his fourth AB as his first hit. He also made four consecutive put outs until he tapped his gloved before tossing a first just barely missing the runner (which in recent memory is the most I have seen baseball pundits break down a fairly routine play, but it’s a prospect so it make sense). Anyway, Matz was doing great until he wasn’t in the 6th and after that point the game became a back and forth affair until it was over.
Chris Flexen will make his second start for the Mets tonight as they continue to take a look at the 22 year old arriving straight from Binghamton. In his debut in San Diego, he allowed 5 hits and 4 walks over 3.0 innings leading to 4 runs, 3 earned and his order for game two doesn’t get easier as he draws the stronger Rockies team in Colorado. Before being called up he was 6-1 between Binghamton and St. Lucie this year tossing 10 games and 61.1 innings with a 1.76 ERA and a 0.815 WHIP.
The Mets bats draw Tyler Chatwood who is 6-11 over 20 games and 9 starts with 107.1 innings posting a 4.78 ERA, 5.12 FIP and 1.463 WHIP. He’s also leading the league in walks at 62. He is making his first start since facing the Mets back on July 15th where he allowed 4 hits and 4 runs with 3 walks while recording 1 out. He tossed an inning in relief between these starts where he allowed 1 hit and 2 walks leading to a run in 1.0 innings. In his last 17.0 innings over 5 games he has allowed 20 walks. The Mets have the following numbers against him:
- Cabrera 2-10, HR, 3 BB
- Bruce 3-7, HR
- Cespedes 1-7, HR
- Conforto 1-4, 3 BB
- Reyes 2-7, 3B
- Granderson 1-5, HR, BB
- Walker 1-5, BB
Let’s Go Mets!
