Some interesting stuff from an Athletic article about how the Mets have pitched the Dodgers differently this year............

The Mets entered Wednesday throwing the Dodgers a fastball 48.5 percent of the time. Only the Miami Marlins (44.3 percent) have thrown the Dodgers fewer fastballs. The Dodgers see fastballs 52.6 percent of the time. The Dodgers feast on fastballs. They’re not getting many from the Mets, particularly not early in counts.

For the Mets, it’s working.

One of the best examples is late-inning reliever Reed Garrett, who is using his four-seam fastball only sparingly compared to last season. With two runners on and none out in the eighth inning on Tuesday, Garrett relied on his sweeper and splitter to retire Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernández and Will Smith without allowing a run. In the NLCS, Garrett appeared in four games and allowed five runs. In three games so far against the Dodgers this season, Garrett has six strikeouts and two walks without allowing a run.

More samplings of numbers changing:

Ohtani in the NLCS: 8-for-22, 2 home runs, 9 walks, 7 strikeouts

Ohtani vs. the Mets in 2025: 5-for-24, 2 home runs, 3 walks, 10 strikeouts

Mookie Betts in the NLCS: 9-for-26, 2 home runs, 5 walks, 5 strikeouts

Betts vs. the Mets in 2025: 4-for-22, 0 home runs, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts

Tommy Edman in the NLCS: 9-for-22, 0 home runs, 0 walks, 4 strikeouts

Edman vs. the Mets in 2025: 2-for-17. 0 home runs, 1 walks, 5 strikeouts

“They’ve pitched us really well,” Roberts said. “The execution, sequencing, we’re kind of one step behind as far as anticipating what they’re going to do, and then when we do get opportunities with mistakes in the hitting zone, we’re not cashing in. I don’t know the answer, but I do know you have to give those guys credit for pitching us well.”

 

The Loutos era can't end soon enough.

 

OK. So goody for the Mets. As for the Dodgers, they have one job: adjust, fuckers.

It's June so you take your whipping like Ali but come back later and kick Frazier and Norton's ass the next two times.

It's a long season and you have to trust it. I heard that somewhere, I'm sure of it.

If the Dodgers heal up & cut some dead weight, maybe, just maybe, they'll be an October force. Otherwise... they'll be also-rans playing golf on Columbus Day.
