SNY.TV:
The Mets and Marlins finish their four-game set on Thursday at 7:10 p.m.
The Mets haven't announced their starter just yet, but top prospect Sixto
Sanchez will start for Miami.
Brian Joura
Mets360.com: “Jacob deGrom started for the Mets and was his usual terrific
self. He threw 104 pitches in seven innings, allowed just one run and struck
out 14. He fanned six of the final nine batters he faced and was in complete
control. The only run he gave up came on a bloop double and two weak ground
outs.”
Metstradamus:
“The Mets took the bounty that Jacob deGrom gave them … a seven inning 14
strikeout game which only grew one run (or as my friend messaged me tonight:
“one bulls***t run”), and stomped it into the ground in the 8th, making me wish
that Rob Manfred would have made every game seven innings.”
SNY.TV:
“Justin Wilson pitched the eighth inning for the Mets…allowed a pair of singles…and
Jon Berti later blooped a single to load the bases. With one out in the eighth,
manager Luis Rojas went with Edwin Diaz…Diaz made quick work of Jesus Sanchez with
a strikeout, but then allowed an RBI single to Jesus Aguilar…He then walked
Corey Dickerson to make it a 4-3 game. Diaz then seemed to land awkwardly on a
1-1 pitch to Brian Anderson, and after a visit from coaches and the team
trainer, came out of the game. Brad Brach then completed the walk to Anderson,
tying the game 4-4.
NY
Post: “Fortunately for the Mets, they found a way to not the blow game itself,
thanks to Wilson Ramos’ clutch RBI single that plated pinch-runner Billy
Hamilton in the eighth inning, providing a 5-4 margin.”
Mets.com:
Mets: 'We trust our guys' late in close games. deGrom handed no-decision
after bullpen loses lead in eighth in win.
Jason
Fry Faith and fear in Flushing: “The Mets had somehow won, but it sure
didn’t feel like they had. Certainly they hadn’t deserved to. I still felt like
booing. The best thing to do, probably, is draw a curtain across this one and
never think of it again. It didn’t make any sense, and your insisting it should
have won’t make any difference. It’s just baseball, it’ll drive you crazy if
you let it, and 2020’s already got that more than covered.”
This is the 14th time the last three seasons that Jacob deGrom has thrown at least seven innings, allowed one or zero runs and not gotten a win. That's TWICE as many times as the next-closest MLB pitcher on the list.— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) August 27, 2020
Never.— Greg Prince (@greg_prince) August 27, 2020
Never.
Never.
Take out.
Jacob.
deGrom.
SNY.TV:
Mets still mulling over starter options for games vs. Yankees this weekend.
Two doubleheaders are set for Friday and Sunday with a single game on Saturday.
Newsday:
Luis Rojas' message to Mets' J.D. Davis: Watch the Berti. “Davis said Rojas
pulled him aside after the Mets’ Game 2 loss and told him he needed to pay more
attention to Berti so that the speedy runner would have had to have headed back
to third after the pitch was thrown.”
Andy
Martino SNY.TV: Why the Mets have been quiet on the trade front, and might
remain that way. “With Marcus
Stroman and Noah
Syndergaard out and Steven Matz
ineffective, the rotation might not be ready for prime time. With Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil
and Amed Rosario struggling, the offense isn’t igniting as expected either. With
five days to go, these are the reasons why it has been mostly quiet in Queens.”
SNY.TV:
Mets' Dominic Smith discusses kneeling during national anthem: 'The most
difficult part is to see that people still don't care' 'For this to
continuously happen, it just shows just the hate in people's heart'.
For Dominic Smith, it's about so much more than taking a knee:https://t.co/qo3xSA7kmM— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) August 27, 2020
Good morning. I've mentioned before over the years Dom Smith since I started covering Mets in St Lucie 2015 hands down the most recognizable player/face in the crowd pre & post game & in spring not only signing autographs but having conversations with fans genuine person/heart

Reflections
on Baseball: Mets League Leading BA Masks The Awful Truth About This Erratic
Team.
Mike’s
Mets: You Can Dress Them Up, but You Can't Take Them Out. “Just about the
point you're thinking that maybe they can actually make a push for the expanded
playoff field, they will run off another stretch of almost unwatchable bad
baseball. Lather, rinse, repeat.”
Rising
Apple: Fernando
Tatis Jr. is the reason to shop all upcoming free agents. “There isn’t a
single pending free agent under the Mets’ control that looks guaranteed to
return in 2021. Because of this, I would like to see BVW at least shop some of
those guys.”
Mets release online free yearbooks and program! Link
to Yearbook and Link
to Program. Sorry, no free pencil. Thanks
to Mack’s Mets writer Dave Rubin for the links.
Michael Wacha (right shoulder soreness) was out throwing another bullpen session this afternoon at Citi Field. That's two in three days for Wacha, who has to be a realistic candidate to start later this week.— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) August 26, 2020
For now, tomorrow's Mets starter remains TBA, in what has become a trend for the team -- not announcing starters until day of game.— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) August 26, 2020
The team has been avoiding Steven Matz and Robert Gsellman out of the bullpen. They would appear to be the leading candidates to start Thursday.

The addition of a third Triple-A league.
How about something called the Mid-Atlantic League?
Several potentially dramatic changes could come to the minors next year. We explain: https://t.co/pna91ZOZ8N
Born on this date:
- Mike Maddux (1961)
- Brian McRae
(1967)
Transactions:
New York Mets signed free agent Jerry Koosman on August 27, 1964.
New York Mets traded David Cone to the Toronto Blue Jays for Jeff Kent and Ryan Thompson on August 27, 1992.
New York Mets traded Dan Wheeler to the Houston Astros for Adam Seuss on August 27, 2004.
1974
|
At Shea Stadium, Benny
Ayala becomes the first National Leaguer in 13 years to hit a home run in
his first major league at-bat. The Mets rookie goes deep off Astros' hurler Tom
Griffin in New York's 4-2 win.
|
1986
|
With one out in the bottom of the
eleventh inning and the visiting Mets ahead of the Padres, 6-5, Lenny
Dykstra's throw nails Gary
Templeton at the plate when he tries to score from second base on Tim
Flannery's single to center field. Knocked on his back by the runner,
catcher John
Gibbons, from a prone position, throws a strike to Howard
Johnson, who tags out Flannery, trying to get to third base, to end the
game with an unusual 8-2-5 double play.

2013
|
Marlon
Byrd is traded by the Mets, along with John Buck
and cash, to the Pirates for a player to be named later (Vic Black)
and minor leaguer Dilson
Herrera. Although the outfielder is no longer on the roster, the team
follows through on its planned promotion, giving away Marlon Byrd T-shirts
before tonight's game.

1969: New
York's 4 - 1 win at San Diego, its 74th of the year, sets a club record; Chicago
loses for the 7th time in the last eight games, a 6 - 3 loss to the Reds'
Tony Cloninger. Ken Holtzman is the loser. Chicago is now just two
games ahead of the Amazing
Mets.

Painful to watch Jake lose yet another W.
I don't know if Diaz's leg bothered him before the last pitch.
Watching him, he seems too "all or nothing." Lacks nuance. Here it comes, you beat me or I beat you.
Dom Smith was very emotional. Another painful shooting. How it all ends is above my pay grade.
It was nice seeing Gerrit Cole get taken (very) deep by Acuna, Junior. It looked like an Edwin Diaz FB.
Guys, I had three things I could have followed last night... the game, the RNC, and the hurricane.
Guess what came in 3rd?
This is when this links post is so necessary to Mets fans.
Figures with a cat 4 hurricane, we’d have a “blown” save.
I dont know what to think about anything right now. Sticking to sports I'm just glad Mets eventually won. Now they need to actually hit with RISP and score their way through next run of games.
My parents took me to the game in 1974 when Benny Ayala hit a homer in his first at bat. Hit over the auxiliary scoreboard in left.
