New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies Recap | Mets blow ANOTHER Jacob deGrom GEM!

Yo, what is good Mets nation welcome back to Mets media, this is Richie in this video I'm gonna give you guys my recap to the Mets loss on opening night against the Philadelphia Phillies. What a Devastating loss we waste another Jacob to Grom gem. He pitches six innings scoreless Beautiful, and of course he does not get a W and we blow it in the eighth inning So I'm gonna give you guys my overall thoughts on this game Where went wrong and how my emotions are as a Mets fan right now But before I hop into this video if you guys are new to Mets media Do not forget to hit that subscribe button If you guys want to check me out over on Instagram and Twitter that is at NY Mets underscore media And if you guys enjoy the video, please do not forget to thumbs it up But that being said let's jump right into this video Obviously, this is not the most positive video because the Mets did not come out on top I felt like we had a really good chance to finish out this game but there's a lot of factors that I'm a little upset about and the first thing that comes to mind is Dom Smith not even getting in at bat this entire game. I don't understand how that's possible I thought he'll be the at least the first man off the bench to pinch hit I felt like I think that was in the fourth inning the Mets had bases loaded one out and Pilar came to bat I felt like that was a perfect opportunity to pinch it for Dom Smith because we need as many runs as possible for Jacob to Grom because we cannot waste another beautiful outing for the Grom and that's exactly what happened in the end We only got two runs and those two runs one of them came from Jacob to Grom himself So it was just another example of the old Mets where we waste another Jacob to Grom outing and it's really unfortunate It's our bullpen. We all know that going into the season the biggest x-factor for this team is the bullpen We have a lot of confidence in the starting rotation We also have confidence in the offensive lineup But how can the bullpen hold up and in the eighth inning Trevor May and Aaron loop they just completely blew it It was really unfortunate. But man, I just I'm looking back on it I also do not agree with Louie Rojas taking the Grom out in the sixth inning. He only had 77 pitches He was in a groove. I'm pretty sure I heard Rojas say himself that his pitch limit for the Grom tonight was a hundred I'm pretty sure I saw that so for him to keep the Grom on the bench and not put go put him out there in the Seventh inning was a little concerning to me, you know, the Grom was in a groove He's only give up what three or five hits around that range zero runs through six innings and his pitch counts only 77 Like if his pitch count was 90 plus or even 85 plus going into the seventh Like yeah, I understand but 77 pitches and I'm pretty sure he's pitched like a nine pitch sixth inning like he was in a groove So for Louie Rojas to take the Grom out of the game, that was a big risk Castro came in and did his thing He had a very good seventh inning, but then the eighth inning is where everything fell apart We can't really blame the game for that specific decision, but I'm definitely not a fan of that decision So unfortunately, I was excited to see if Edwin Diaz can close it in the ninth But at the end of the game we saw the Mets show some grit social life with two outs in the top of the ninth Inning we had back to back to back two out hits from Pilar Lindor and Conforto Pete Alonso had a chance to take the lead and he hits it into the warning track right field and Bryce Harper snagged it I really thought that was gonna be out and I was about to like go crazy and this reaction video would have been me Super jubilant right now, but unfortunately again, we fell apart So let's get into some individual performances from the New York Mets in Francisco Lindor's debut He had a very beautiful double play at shortstop. We love to see that him and Jeff McNeil He also got his first hit as a New York Met in the ninth inning He had four of bats with just one hit Michael Conforto. He had five at bats with two hits and an RBI Pete Alonso He had a hit and a walk in four at bats. Well, technically five at bats and he had a run scored himself JD Davis he had a hit Who else got some hits? Let's see James McCann He had an RBI hit in his debut and Brendan Nimmo had a hit and Jacob the Grom had two hits So that really does it for the offense? But man the defense it's interesting because I felt like we showed some some some flash in the infield Whether it's Lindor's double play Pete Alonso made a nice diving stop But then we sub in Louis Guillaume a for defensive purposes, which I like the move I love that move because your maze definitely more of a defensive minor third baseman than JD Davis But that play at the end of the game where that error. I Know what your me was trying to do He rushed it because he wanted to get the double play from home the first base and he kind of airmailed the throw Could it could McCann got it? Yes, but you can't expect that from a catcher to adjust like a first baseman It was just devastating But he overthrew it McCann got rid of it and that was two runs right there So the defense the errors the the bullpen it all fell apart in the eighth inning So it was very devastating, but the Mets are own one. It's only one game out of 162 It just stings more because we wasted another Jacob to Grom gem Gary Cohen said on SNY I think 31 times the Mets have blown a Jacob to Grom Beautiful game that's devastating Jake. I'm sorry. You deserve more. Hopefully we can rebound from this and next time you're out there on the mound We can score runs for you and the bullpen can shut them down. So that really does it for my recap video There's not too much else to say, you know The only positives you can take from this game is Jacob to Grom is brilliant And we have to appreciate greatness when it's there because you know, it's crazy how great he is He really is the greatest pitcher in the game borderline the greatest pitcher ever He is becoming a Hall of Famer before our eyes. He already is a Hall of Famer But still he just pumping out 102 93 sliders The change-ups are crazy his movement his mentality his demeanor his attitude his presence on the mound is just unmatched We have to make sure we appreciate the greatness of Jacob to Grom. It's unfortunate He did not get the W tonight But hey We got a game tomorrow night against the Philadelphia Phillies to try to get revenge with Marcus Stroman on the mound and we'll see what Happens stay tuned for more Mets content If you guys stayed until the end of the video comment down below an Apple emoji, so I know you guys were here I appreciate all the support on Mets media.
