METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE MAY 27, 2015 GAME:
Hot Foot
May 9, 2023
The 2015 Mets have every one of their games documented on YouTube except six, and this is one of them. There are game highlights available from the SNY feed, but they just have raw audio without Gary, Keith, and Ron.
24,406 saw this Wednesday afternoon game at Citi Field, an early and impressive Noah Syndergaard start. I'm sure I watched it with commentary from the SNY team because in 2015, I had the MLB.com package so I watched almost every game of the season.
Around the time of this game, my impression was that the energy at Citi Field was 'up' for the first time in the history of the ballpark. Besides individual performances by R.A. Dickey and Matt Harvey, there had been no reason for fans to get excited about the team until 2015. Now, finally, there was a wave of optimism around the team. Also, this game was of particular interest because of the new fireballing phenom from Texas, starting his fourth career game that day.
Noah pitched 7.1 scoreless innings in this one, giving up 6 hits, 0 walks, and 6 strikeouts, good for a game score of 72, only his 6th best outing that season. He also went 3-3 at the plate and hit a home run to deep center field. The legend of 'Thor' was just beginning to take form.
This win brought the Mets record to 27-21, 1.5 games out of first and for the first time in years, it seemed like something special was in the air.
Now it's your turn! Tell us what you remember of this game:
Please note:
We're looking for your comments about this specific
game. We've had people use this space to share their thoughts on how the
current season is going, or on ways that the Mets can improve the team.
Such comments, unless in the context of
this particular game,
will be considered off-topic and will be removed.
Example One
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!
