METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JUNE 13, 2012 GAME:
RA Dickey rules
June 15, 2012
Dickey was more dominant than any Mets pitcher so far including Johan. He allowed a slow grounder which I think if Wright used the glove and threw quickly, Upton would have been out. In my book, he got 29 outs in a row. Amazing.

One of the most dominant pitching performances by a Mets pitcher that I can remember.
I might be wrong, but I believe that Matt Harvey against the White Sox (May 7, 2013, game score 97) was the most dominant performance since David Cone struck out 19 on October 6 1991 (game score 99). By comparison, Seaver's game score on July 9, 1969 was 96. In either of his two Cy Young-winning seasons, Jacob deGrom never achieved a game score of over 90 (he did however accrue a game score of 98 on April 23, 2021, which I missed because I had to work).
Anyway, back to R.A. dominating the Rays on June 13, 2012. Aside from one slow roller in the first inning that David Wright misplayed, R.A. was untouchable that day. His 9 IP, 12 K, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB earned him a game score of 95.
Amazingly, R.A.'s next start against Baltimore, he topped this start with a game score of 96, and I don't even remember that game. But I remember how dominant he was in this one, and I listened to it on the radio. This game (Tampa broadcast) is available on YouTube by the way.
If only Wright had handled that BJ Upton grounder with his glove instead of trying to barehand it, the Mets might have had two no-hitters in a span of two weeks after not having one for 50 years.

The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like
Jones.
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with
any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:
Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith
and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in
the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and
we would let it remain.
We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our
site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take
steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate
Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments,
and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.
Thank you!
