As we
look at the New York Mets verses Los Angeles Dodgers games I saw a couple of
recurring things. For starter I saw Clayton Kershaw choke yet again, Zach
Greinke have another good outing. One the other hand the New York Mets have
played fairly well, which was surprising.
As we
look at Game 2 the Mets got out to a rough start with a 3 up 3 down type of
first inning. But so did the Dodgers. Things didn’t start to heat up until the
top of the second inning when both Céspedes and Conforto hit homeruns against
Zach Greinke. Which is impressive because there has been only 14 homeruns hit
against him. As the game progressed, it was 2-0 for a while which made the game
a little boring. Things didn’t start to heat up again until the bottom of the
seventh inning. The real big turning point for the game was when Noah
Syndergaard walked Enrique Hernandez and let Chase Utley single to right. But
the best decision made by New York Mets was certainly taking out Syndergaard
and putting in Bartolo Colon. See Colon is 42, he’s the oldest player in the
MLB right now. And he’s dealing just nicely.
But the one play that really is
getting heated was the Chase Utley and Ruben Tejada got into a little
collision. Chase Utley was sliding into second base when they were trying to
turn a double play. At that moment Chase Utley completely missed the base to
take out Tejada in result he now has a broken leg. But in baseball, we’re
taught to break up the double play, but not that badly. But Ruben Tejada is
okay, which is good. As they were introducing players at the next game, the Announcer
called out Chase Utley’s name everyone booed at him.
All and all it was a great game to
watch.
