TNK - SLIDER TESTING
Exhibition Game #2
Boston Red Sox @ New York Mets
 
Pitching Matchup –Tanner Houck vs Luis Severino
Luis Severino and Tanner Houck were both pitching well early on as both team were hit-less through the first two innings. Severino retired the side in the top of the 3rd and the Mets would get the games first hit when DJ Stewart singled with 1 out in the bottom of the 3rd. Houck struck out Harrison Bader for the 2nd out and Brandon Nimmo sliced a line drive down the LF line with 2 outs and Stewart tried to score all the way from first base but O'Neill and Story executed a perfect relay throw to home plate where Wong tagged out Stewart to end the inning and send the game to the 4th inning with the score tied 0-0. Severino struck out Story and Devers to end a 1-2-3 top of the 4th while Francisco Lindor led off the bottom of the 4th hit a ground ball down the 3rd base line but was retired on an excellent defensive play by Devers. Pete Alonso was up next and Houck left a slider out over the plate that Alonso crushed 423 feet off the upper deck facade in LF for a solo HR giving the Mets a 1-0 lead. Francisco Alvarez followed with a double and Jeff McNeil dropped a bloop single into LF putting runners on the corners with 1 out for Starling Marte who punched a ground ball through the right side of the infield for a RBI single making it 2-0. Houck came back to retire Baty and Stewart to escape with no further damage as we went to the 5th inning with New York leading 2-0. The Red Sox offense came alive in the top of the 5th as Tyler O'Neill led off the inning with a single up the middle for the first Red Sox hit of the night and Masataka Yoshida followed with a rocket into the gap in left-center for a RBI double as O'Neill scored all the way from first base to cut the deficit to 2-1. Triston Casas was up next and hit a liner down the LF line for a RBI double tying the game at 2-2. Severino would settle down and retire both Rafaela and Grissom before striking out Wong to end the frame with the score tied 2-2. Houck got Lindor to bounce into an inning ending 6-4-3 double play to end the bottom of the 5th and send the game to the 6th inning tied 2-2. The Red Sox took their first lead in the top of the 6th when Severino hit Duran with a pitch to lead off the inning and then left a cutter up in the zone to Trevor Story who launched a 2-run to LF giving Boston a 4-2 lead. Jake Diekman came in to replace Severino on the mound for New York and he would issue a walk to Devers before O'Neill lined a ball into the gap in right-center putting runners on 2nd & 3rd with nobody out. Diekman came back to strikeout Yoshida & Casas before retiring Rafaela on a ground out to Baty at third base to escape the jam and strand the two runners keeping it a 4-2 game. Alonso led off the bottom of the 6th with a double and came in to score on a RBI single to CF by Alvarez cutting the Red Sox lead to 4-3. Houck made a good two strike pitch to Jeff McNeil who stayed on a slider away and dropped a RBI single into CF tying the game 4-4. Houck settled down after a mound visit and would get Marte to ground into a 5-4-3 double play before striking out Baty to end the 6th and send the game to the 7th inning with the score tied 4-4. Jorge Lopez came on to pitch the top of the 7th for the Mets and gave up back to back singles to Grissom and Wong to start the inning before Duran beat out a double play ball to set up runners on the corners for Trevor Story with 1 out. Story swung at the first pitch he saw hitting a ground ball to Baty at third base to start an inning ending 5-4-3 double play as the Red Sox blow a big opportunity and Lopez escapes the top of the 7th with the score still tied 4-4. Brennan Bernardino took over on the mound for Boston and singles by Stewart and Nimmo would put two on with 1 out and Josh Winckowski would make his way in to replace Bernardino with Francisco Lindor coming to the plate. Winckowski did a fantastic job as he froze Lindor with a 97 mph fastball up and in for a huge K for the 2nd out before striking out Alonso on a cutter away to get out of the inning as the Mets strand a pair and we move to the 8th inning tied 4-4. Lopez allowed a lead off single to Devers before walking O'Neill on 4 pitches to put two men on for Yoshida with no outs. Yoshida worked to a 2 & 2 count before Yoshida stayed on a breaking ball and lined it into the gap in right-center for a two run double giving the Red Sox a 6-4 lead. Drew Smith replaced Lopez on the mound and struck out Casas before Rafaela lined a single to CF but Yoshida was gunned down at the plate on a strong throw by Nimmo for the 2nd out. Smith would get out of the inning when Nimmo made a nice running catch on a deep drive by Wong and we would head to the bottom of the 8th with Boston leading 6-4. Winckowski returned to the mound and retired Alvarez before back to back ground singles to McNeil and Marte putting two on with 1 out. Tyrone Taylor came on to run for Marte and Brett Baty would square up a sinker from Winckowski and drive a liner to left-center for a RBI double scoring McNeil and Taylor to tie the game up 6-6. Chris Martin came in to take over on the mound for Boston with the go ahead run in scoring position for New York. Martin froze Stewart with a 98 mph fastball and then got Bader to chase a slider away to end the inning and strand the go ahead run in scoring position sending the game to the 9th inning tied 6-6. Smith pitched a 1-2-3 top of the 9th retiring Duran, Story and Devers as the Mets had the top of the order coming up with a chance to win it in the bottom of the 9th. Martin remained in the game for Boston and retired Nimmo, Lindor and Alonso in order to send the game to extra innings tied 6-6. Shintaro Fujinami had two men on with 2 outs in the top of the 10th before falling behind in the count to Rafaela who would get a pitch to hit and ripped a ball up the middle for a RBI single to CF giving Boston a 7-6 lead. Vaughn Grissom singled to load the bases with 2 outs as Casas had to hold at third base on the play. Enmanuel Valdez would get the call to pinch hit for Conor Wong and Fujinami would come inside with a breaking ball and hit Valdez to force in a run making it 8-6. Brooks Raley replaced Fujinami to face Duran who would draw a 5 pitch walk to bring home another run making it 9-6. Raley would strikeout Story to end the frame and the Mets would come to bat in the bottom of the 10th trailing 9-6 with Kenley Jansen coming on to pitch for Boston looking to close it out. Jansen retired Alvarez before McNeil singled to put runners on the corners with 1 out for Tyrone Taylor who came on to run earlier for Marte. Taylor drove a ball high and deep to LF but O'Neill would get to it and make the catch just in front of the warning track as Alonso tagged and scored to cut the Boston lead to 9-7 and the Mets were down to their final out with Baty coming up. Baty and Jansen battled to a full count as Jansen stuck with the fastball and cutter the entire at bat before striking Baty out on a slider to end the game as the Red Sox win 9-7 in 10 innings
* The general feel of the game tells me that the sliders are close to being ready. Nothing feels clunky or out of whack, it's just a matter of fine tuning things
* I am going to condense / shrink the length of the recaps and highlights going forward. I want to spend more time playing the game and less time typing. Going forward, I will still provide the box score
