"It's almost not like I have anything to figure out. It's almost like I have to play normal, not even good…"
–– Victor Wembanyama on what he has to do to beat the Knicks after losing Game 1
Josh Hart with the most impact three point performance in NBA Finals history?
What a game. What a 4th quarter. What a finish. 11-0 run to close the game.
Raley, a lefty, gives up a HR to Naylor, a lefty
Manaeaa, a lefty, gives up a HR
To Emerson, a lefty
Minter, a lefty, gives up the walk off hit to Cole Young, a lefty
All 3 times the lefty lefty matchup backfired
We can blame the offense but Mendoza’s in game strategy sucks.
Opts to have Minter (a lefty) pitch to Young (a lefty) and guess what happens…. Game winning hit. So THREE times last night his lefty vs lefty nonsense backfired.
STOP DOING THIS!!!
Good morning. Carlos Mendoza is a complete idiot. All his matchup based manuevers and lets revisit them from last night:
Mets pitchers gave up two solo HRs. Both Mets pitchers were lefties. The batters were lefties.
Instead of walking Cole Young to set up a DP in the 10th, he
@MetsAvenue But he wouldve been walked. Anytime a man on third with one out in extras, it doesnt matter who the batter is you have to walk them. But Mendoza is so obsessed with this lefty/lefty shit he completely ignored basic strategy to extend the game.
Mets have climbed slightly above the Marlins in the standings. Now there’s a 4 game gap between them, the Phillies and a cluster of other teams. Mets need to close that gap this month, starting with some momentum into June and stringing more wins together on this road trip.
This Spurs-Thunder rivalry is going be a thing for many years to come. Aside from Game 1 this series hasn’t been great. Been more impressed with the Spurs who I think win Game 7 in overtime.
@PodcastDoesnt The rays can do this because they dont wanna pay for big hitters who everyone wants so they found a new approach that helps them pay less for players who have strengths that arent wanted by other teams
