This game was a tough loss. We can't afford to lose these games. To me as far as Diaz last night. If he pitched anywhere in the first 9 innings it would have been a scoreless inning. But with that man on 2nd in extra innings it wasn't good enough. Getting that strikeout for the 2nd out I thought we just might escape. We did run into a hell of a pitched game. Sometimes the other guy is just great that night. 13-14 strikeouts, 4 hits, 9 innings, 1 run on a solo homer. He wasn't even in trouble that inning he just got tagged by Conforto. Hell of a performance. We just cannot afford these losses we need to win 3 out of 4 from here on in. Now in this 10 game stretch vs the Nats and Marlins where we needed to make hay going in 7-3 or 8-2 . Now were 4-3 after 7 games of this stretch. The rest of the schedule is considerably tougher. The way their starter was pitching, it was a miracle that Conforto hit that dinger and we got to extra innings with a different pitcher. Which makes it all the more unbelievable the moves Rojas made to lose it.

Bobby Valentine to throw first pitch to Joe Torre at Mets' Sept. 11 remembrance ceremony The New York Mets are bringing back two iconic New York managers in remembrance of 9/11. Former Mets skipper Bobby Valentine will throw out the first pitch to former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre during the Mets' Sept. 11 remembrance ceremony. Both men managed those teams during the 2001 season. The Mets played the first game in New York following the Sept. 11 attacks, a 3-2 win against the Atlanta Braves. In addition to the first pitch, Mets players will wear first responder hats during the team's Subway Series game against the Yankees. Mets players from the 2001 team, including Mike Piazza, will attend the ceremony. sports.yahoo.com/bobby-valentine-to-throw-first-pitch-to-joe-torre-at-mets-sept-11-remembrance-ceremony-180712475.html

Moose and Maggie are absolutely destroying Rojas over not walking him.. he's the best hitter in their lineup, it was an absolute no brainer... Also questioning pinch hitting mazikas. Either way, Rojas blew the 10th and lost that game, period Yes β¦β¦ I was screaming at the TV when Makeika came up to bat β¦β¦ why not JD or MCCann , a totally ridiculous decision. I like Rojas but he totally blew that crucial game. Thank goodness Atlanta and Philly both lost too And another thing , that hit by Baez that was dropped was fair not foul and should have been overturned IMO

Just another case where even obvious on replay isn't called correctly.

Just when the pitching shows back up the offense disappears. Mets fever, catch it!

To many "power" hitters and guys that used to get on base like the squirrel are not hitting. The only one we have, Nimmo, is hurt.

Really missing Nimmo already and his ability to get on base as a leadoff man ! 1 for 22 with RISP against the Marlins really is utterly pathetic

He was hitting great earlier this year, and just fell off a cliff. Like Steve Cohen tweeted, these are professional hitters, against average pitching. Hard to understand.

Villar is the worst baserunner I've ever seen. But Sanchez is the worst defensive catcher I've ever seen too.
Worked out in the first π

That E the 3rd baseman took was not a difficult throw to convert. The catchers feet were a mess on that play. Honestly the only reason the Mets had that big inning was bad pitching and gifts from the defense.

Walker is just done. Total mess since the all-star break.
But 3 homers in one inning is a new low. And this Fox broadcast is not helping my mood.

This Baez when he's hot he is a weapon. I'm thinking we try and re sign him. It's an understatement to say we need his bat. And one of the best base runners in baseball. This is my own assumption.

Where the hell did good Tajuan Walker come from? Crazy. Also well timed since the offense is bringing us back.

The Yankees have an entire lineup like Baez. Guys that will strike out most times if they don't get a fat pitch. If big payroll teams don't adjust to the MLB rules, smaller teams will. And they have.
