Back in November, at the introductory press conference for Steve Cohen, Sandy Alderson essentially said that Luis Rojas was going to return in 2021. Yesterday, Alderson essentially said the opposite. My opinion was that Rojas should have been let go prior to this season. But, at the beginning of the 2021 campaign, Rojas seemed like [...]
On a night where Sandy Alderson essentially gave Luis Rojas a public vote of "no confidence," the Mets celebrated with a 3-2 loss to the Marlins Wednesday night. Taijuan Walker turned around a second-half slide to pitch into the eighth inning. But he gave up a double and a one-out walk before getting pulled for [...]
Please use this thread all week to discuss any Mets-related topic you wish. Last night in the Game Chatter, Name asked me about tendering a contract to arbitration-eligible Trevor Williams. He's been pretty good in a short sample for the Mets and FanGraphs listed him as having multiple options available so my response was a [...]
All the Mets needed to break their losing streak was to play a doubleheader. Either that are the offensively challenged Marlins. Either way, the Mets swept a twinbill on Tuesday, winning the opener, 5-2, and the nightcap, 2-1. It’s an open question if it’s in the Mets’ best interests to win any more games the [...]
Pleas use this chatter for both games today.
The biggest constant in the Mets’ starting rotation in 2021 was Marcus Stroman. While others missed half of the year or more, Stroman has made 32 starts prior to Tuesday’s game against the Marlins. While Taijuan Walker has been close with 28 starts, he can’t match Stroman’s consistency. Stroman’s ERA in the second half has [...]
It’s hard to say which has been more disappointing this season – losing Carlos Carrasco for half the year or watching him pitch once he came off the IL. All of the focus has been what he’s done in the first inning and it’s hard to argue with that focus. Carrasco has a 14.73 ERA [...]
The Luis Rojas farewell tour racked up another loss, as the Mets fell to the Brewers, 8-4, on Sunday. Milwaukee swept the three-game series, sending the Mets to their 10th loss in their last 11 games. The Mets jumped on top early, as Francisco Lindor homered in the first inning to give them a 1-0 [...]
August was bad for the Mets and September has been worse. While the record has been slightly better so far in September, it felt like at least the club was trying in August. For the most part, the club has seemed lifeless in the last 10 games. They played hard in the series against the [...]
