Warmups have begun
Brian Yesterday at 4:22 pm
Go Butto
Caring Mind Yesterday at 4:23 pm
9 games, anyone thinking they can lose 9 T open the season?
David Groveman Yesterday at 4:28 pm
Who gets their second hit first? Nimmo, Lindor, McNeil or Narvaez?
Name Yesterday at 4:31 pm
phew
David Groveman Yesterday at 4:31 pm
What the Mets wanted from Butto was to throw as many pitches as possible in the first
Brian Yesterday at 4:33 pm
Better 26 pitches and no runs than 23 and 3 runs like Severino did.
David Groveman Yesterday at 4:34 pm
truth
Brandon Nimmo walks again
Lindor back on the bottom of the OPS battle
ChrisF Yesterday at 4:40 pm
The hitting blackouts just amaze me
David Groveman Yesterday at 4:41 pm
The #4 hitter, Brett Baty
Metsense Yesterday at 4:42 pm
Maybe he’ll buNt
Name Yesterday at 4:42 pm
first time i’ve seen home plate ump interference
it looked like Nimmo would have been an easy out with an accurate throw, so it probably helped
David Groveman Yesterday at 4:43 pm
Well Manning threw a bunch too, so there’s that
Name Yesterday at 4:44 pm
it’s not like the Mets are hitting the Tigers pen…
Caring Mind Yesterday at 4:47 pm
Butto might be able to pick ch 4-5 innings I think
Brian Yesterday at 4:49 pm
Narvaez blows
Metsense Yesterday at 4:50 pm
This is so disappointing and so depressing
ChrisF Yesterday at 4:51 pm
Would 2 sweeps raise the alarm bells??
Metsense Yesterday at 4:51 pm
It is the way they are playing that concerns me
They are not crisp and they don’t execute well
They make mistakes that leave them to a loss.
Name Yesterday at 4:55 pm
i’m sure glad Mendoza pulled Houser at under 70 pitches
Brian Yesterday at 4:56 pm
Defensive whiz Baty comes thru
Metsense Yesterday at 4:57 pm
Name
i’m sure glad Mendoza pulled Houser at under 70 pitches He mismanaged the bullpen the first game.
Brian Yesterday at 4:57 pm
If it was a pitcher besides Houser, I’d be upset. But you try to nurse Houser thru 5 innings and hope for the best.
Metsense Yesterday at 4:58 pm
Nice play Baty
Name Yesterday at 4:58 pm
on a doubleheader day and with a 3-0 lead you can’t be pulling him at the first sight of trouble
Metsense Yesterday at 4:59 pm
That is right name
Brian Yesterday at 4:59 pm
I’d agree with a normal pitcher. But Houser just isn’t very good
Metsense Yesterday at 5:00 pm
He is in the rotation so you have to trust him a little
Brian Yesterday at 5:01 pm
It’s a mistake that he’s in the rotation. You want to compound the mistake by sticking with him longer than you should?
Metsense Yesterday at 5:01 pm
He is better than McGill
Brian Yesterday at 5:02 pm
I dunno. But even if that’s true, that’s a low bar
Metsense Yesterday at 5:02 pm
And I think he’s better than Severino but we’ll see at that
Blame Stearns for the low bar
Brian Yesterday at 5:04 pm
Meanwhile … Bader …
Name Yesterday at 5:05 pm
personally i think a loss is worth not taxing the pen
but no manager thinks long term these days
Metsense Yesterday at 5:06 pm
buck did
Name Yesterday at 5:08 pm
i still don’t think he asked enough out of his starters, but who knows how much was FO directive
Brian Yesterday at 5:10 pm
Every reliever had at least two days off coming into today
Name Yesterday at 5:12 pm
i’d rather relievers be underused than overused too. 3-4 days of not pitching is fine with me
Brian Yesterday at 5:15 pm
Sure. But I still say yanking Houser when they did today was the right call.
Name Yesterday at 5:18 pm
but that’s because you wanted to win the game
Brian Yesterday at 5:19 pm
It’s because I wasn’t worried about the bullpen being overused
Name Yesterday at 5:22 pm
Mets hitless thru 3
Butto gets the DP this time
Metsense Yesterday at 5:26 pm
69 P
Brian Yesterday at 5:27 pm
back-to-back 10-pitch innings for Butto
Metsense Yesterday at 5:31 pm
zzzzzzzzzzzz
Metsense Yesterday at 5:38 pm
So Julio Terron will replace Severino in the rotation?
Brian Yesterday at 5:38 pm
No, he’ll replace Megill
Now, even though his pitch count is higher than Houser’s was in the first game, I’d look to see Butto complete six here.
Because he’s a better pitcher.
Fancy Person Yesterday at 5:39 pm
greetings and salutations!!
Brian Yesterday at 5:41 pm
Who’s greeting me?
Metsense Yesterday at 5:41 pm
I think they are the same but Butto higher ceiling
Gus Yesterday at 5:42 pm
Tis I!
Woodrow Yesterday at 5:42 pm
A no hitter?
Brian Yesterday at 5:42 pm
So far
But maybe Nimmo gets a hit or Lindor a hit this game
Hi right back at you, Gus
Gus Yesterday at 5:43 pm
The irony: Stearns heard all the bitching in the world about his pitching and no one said anything about the bats, but they have been the weak link so far.
Checking in at work for a few minutes
Brian Yesterday at 5:44 pm
Lindor, McNeil and Nimmo didn’t hit in Spring Training but that was meaningless
Woodrow Yesterday at 5:44 pm
sheesh you’re arguing about two guys that ae #5 pitchers or 4 A guys.
Brian Yesterday at 5:44 pm
My opinion is that Butto is better than that
Gus Yesterday at 5:46 pm
So, who was surprised when Gary said “they are setting up away” when Alonso was hitting that he swung at that?
I kind of said good bye before the pitch was delivered.
So, the MEts are in Atlanta on Monday night the 50th anniversary of Aaron’s 715th? Wonderful!!!
I predict the MEts will score two runs!
this inning
Lindor should have killed that 1-0 pitch
Brian Yesterday at 5:52 pm
Yep, that was a pitch to hit
Woodrow Yesterday at 5:52 pm
It’s the hitting boys!
Gus Yesterday at 5:52 pm
down the pipe to Alonso
why are they so off?
Brian Yesterday at 5:53 pm
It’s Eric Chavez’ fault
Gus Yesterday at 5:53 pm
didnt get enough play in the spring?
Great job by Manning.
I love the Tigers pitching pipeline
Brian Yesterday at 5:54 pm
You can say that with McNeil and Nimmo. But everyone else got enough time
Lindor was up there with Baty and Vientos in most PA
Pete got a bunch of PA, too
Gus Yesterday at 5:55 pm
:think:
pressing
oh well, so much for optimism
ok, let me get away for a few minutes
Brian Yesterday at 5:57 pm
Those were some nasty pitches to Baty.
Does Butto come back?
Metsense Yesterday at 5:58 pm
why not?
nope Garrtt
Brian Yesterday at 6:08 pm
If it wasn’t for bad luck…
Pondering One Yesterday at 6:09 pm
1-0,a no-hitter it’s almost time to panic
Brian Yesterday at 6:16 pm
Bader-Wendle-Nimmo due up. Surely there’s a hit in there!
Bader with a hit off the lefty
Pondering One Yesterday at 6:19 pm
Bader,BJs guy,reminds me of that squirrel,not Rocky,the blind one
Brian Yesterday at 6:23 pm
yuck
Gus Yesterday at 6:29 pm
Would it be an overreaction to say that Michael Tonkin should not be pitching an extra innings with the extra man on base because he’s not a strikeout guy? Yet the last two times that he’s pitched it was in extras, and it was the last inning of the game.
Brian Yesterday at 6:30 pm
Tonkin’s strength is his ability to be a league-average pitcher in multi innings. Which is not the ideal think for an extra inning guy with the zombie runner on base.
Gus Yesterday at 6:31 pm
My thinking too
this is not on Mendoza, he doesn’t know the pitching, that’s on Hefner
Pondering One Yesterday at 6:32 pm
Hey,he was the last man standing
Gus Yesterday at 6:33 pm
How so?
Pondering One Yesterday at 6:36 pm
hes got heart
Gus Yesterday at 6:38 pm
WY to insult the guy
Brian Yesterday at 6:38 pm
Alonso-Baty-Marte — sounds like two runs
Gus Yesterday at 6:38 pm
*way to insult the guy
Brian Yesterday at 6:40 pm
ALONSO
There’s one!
Pondering One Yesterday at 6:40 pm
maybe?
Name Yesterday at 6:40 pm
wow, i come back just in time for ALONSO
just 2 hits?!?
Gus Yesterday at 6:41 pm
Impressive
Brian Yesterday at 6:42 pm
First one came last inning
Pondering One Yesterday at 6:42 pm
two shots
Brian Yesterday at 6:43 pm
That’s what was said last inning, too
Pondering One Yesterday at 6:44 pm
finally!
Brian Yesterday at 6:44 pm
wi!
Gus Yesterday at 6:44 pm
You know, I really hope they can keep Alonso… I don’t think they should trade him. I don’t know about a long contract, because I didn’t like Nimmo’s
Brian Yesterday at 6:45 pm
didn’t want another extra inning game
Name Yesterday at 6:45 pm
TAYLOR
Gus Yesterday at 6:45 pm
For real
Name Yesterday at 6:45 pm
WALK OFF WIN
win 1 of 61
Gus Yesterday at 6:46 pm
Nice job guys. See y’all next time, good night
Name Yesterday at 6:46 pm
even the bad teams find ways to win a few
Gus Yesterday at 6:47 pm
Blind squirrels?
Name Yesterday at 6:47 pm
yea, this is a 100 loss team for sure
Gus Yesterday at 6:48 pm
Nope, a 80 loss team
