Game #9
Lindor rips a double past the 3B
Excited Guest Yesterday at 1:47 pm
Omg a first inning run. Ugly but a run
Brian Yesterday at 1:47 pm
Nice to see a 1B go too far to his right to field a ball besides Pete
NYM6986 Yesterday at 1:48 pm
I’ll take a 1-0 start.
Brian Yesterday at 1:53 pm
How deep does Bader play in CF?
Manaea looks sharp
Marte walks on a fastball. Time to steal
NYM6986 Yesterday at 2:00 pm
Like the small ball
Confident User Yesterday at 2:00 pm
Maybe a big inning.
Brian Yesterday at 2:00 pm
No-out rally
NYM6986 Yesterday at 2:00 pm
McNeil pulls the ball
Brian Yesterday at 2:00 pm
slug bunt!
Confident User Yesterday at 2:01 pm
no DP,please
Brian Yesterday at 2:01 pm
C’mon Bader – these are the pitchers you’re supposed to hit
tough luck
NYM6986 Yesterday at 2:03 pm
Another hit for Nimmo lol
Brian Yesterday at 2:03 pm
That works, Nimmo!
Confident User Yesterday at 2:03 pm
Another hit batter! Gotta retaliate
Brian Yesterday at 2:03 pm
OK, caveman
Confident User Yesterday at 2:06 pm
I hope some day I root for a team that can hit,sigh
Brian Yesterday at 2:06 pm
Glad to get a run but it feels like it should have been more
NYM6986 Yesterday at 2:10 pm
needed a bases loaded knock
Manaea looks good so far
Brian Yesterday at 2:11 pm
Yes, he’s been their best SP by far
Good hustle by Baty
There’s a pulled hit for Marte
Bases loaded twice and only one run
Brian Yesterday at 2:37 pm
Manaea battles back to strand 2 in scoring position
LINDOR
That makes a double and a homer for Lindor this game
Confident User Yesterday at 2:48 pm
Geesh,maybe relievers could go 2-3 innings,maybe Lachesis and Butto could be 3 inning relievers, maybe a 6 man rotation and starters go 6 innings, half the roster is pitchers for crying out loud
uh oh
Metsense Yesterday at 2:50 pm
The Mets should have multiple inning relief pictures in there bullpen because the starting pitcher isn’t doing the job
Confident User Yesterday at 2:51 pm
DP?
these guys aren’t very good
Gus Yesterday at 2:54 pm
Hi folks. Greetings and salutations.
Brian Yesterday at 2:54 pm
Hey Gus
Gus Yesterday at 2:54 pm
I’m beginning to sour on McNeil. Did y’all see that he fanned on catching that throw from right field?
How the heck do you do that?
Metsense Yesterday at 2:54 pm
Hi Gus
Gus Yesterday at 2:55 pm
Hi Adrian, hi ametsense
Metsense
Brian Yesterday at 2:55 pm
Weird to blame McNeil for that awful throw from Taylor
NYM6986 Yesterday at 2:56 pm
Why is Marte not in RF today
Gus Yesterday at 2:56 pm
But, he threw it from 200 feet away. McNeil couldn’t mive in front of that throw quickly enough, somehow?
Confident User Yesterday at 2:56 pm
ditto
Gus Yesterday at 2:56 pm
Did Taylor throw a curveball, LOL
Brian Yesterday at 2:56 pm
McNeil is running to the bag and the throw was behind him. So, McNeil is supposed to reverse pivot on a dime and catch a ball in the dirt? That seems … unlikely
Confident User Yesterday at 2:57 pm
DPs,gotta love them of there yours
Gus Yesterday at 2:57 pm
Ok, I guess.
Pitcher’s best friend.
I like that Baty is playing against the lefty
Brian Yesterday at 3:01 pm
Agree, But it’s not like Short is a great option
Gus Yesterday at 3:02 pm
He’s bench player that can play many positions…perfect.
Brian Yesterday at 3:03 pm
It’ll be curious to see who goes when Martinez arrives
Gus Yesterday at 3:03 pm
Stewart… what is his purpose?
Brian Yesterday at 3:03 pm
5th OF, power off the bench
Gus Yesterday at 3:03 pm
Lol
Brian Yesterday at 3:04 pm
I’m no Stewart fan but his role is clear
Do the Mets need two no-hit infielders?
Gus Yesterday at 3:04 pm
Yes, because McNeil can go to the outfield as can Short. Outfielder
Can’t come into Theo field.
*the infield.
Brian Yesterday at 3:05 pm
But if they can’t hit, is it worth it so shift McNeil to the OF to play them?
I don’t want to appear to be lobbying to keep Stewart. You could make the case all three need to be replaced.
Gus Yesterday at 3:06 pm
Logical, but is Stewart better? And look at the lineup, who do you hit for with them?
Brian Yesterday at 3:07 pm
The Mets should give Vientos more time in the OF while he’s in the minors.
Gus Yesterday at 3:07 pm
Mauricio, Vientos and Martinez for all three. Deal?
I said that in March
Metsense Yesterday at 3:07 pm
I would rather have Stewart on the bench for his power but I wouldn’t Lobby for him either
Brian Yesterday at 3:08 pm
As bad as those three are, they’ve got to be more valuable than a guy with one leg
Gus Yesterday at 3:09 pm
India is very well liked. Gary yesterday was cooing about chatting with him the Apple TV guys were very complimentary of him as well.
Brian Yesterday at 3:11 pm
Pretty neat story how the whole family was Mets fans. They were disappointed when he was drafted 5th when the Mets picked 6th.
92 pitches for Manaea. Will they send him out for the 6th?
Metsense Yesterday at 3:12 pm
That was a strong throw
Gus Yesterday at 3:12 pm
Ooh, I was working so I was just catching bits and pieces as I was walking by the phone.
Metsense Yesterday at 3:13 pm
It is a tough call for the sixth inning but they have to press him
They need more multi inning relievers
Brian Yesterday at 3:19 pm
Two-hit day for Taylor
Gus Yesterday at 3:19 pm
Ashes loaded: strikeout
*bases
Actually, a pretty lame effort by both teams executing with men on.
If you are building the Mets for the future, who are you looking to keep for next year or the year after from this lineup, if contract isn’t the object?
Metsense Yesterday at 3:25 pm
Alvarez is the only one that they can’t replace
Gus Yesterday at 3:25 pm
Reading Brian’s piece, I can’t vouch for Marte, I don’t know about Nimmo, McNeil is questionable…, no centerfielder, no DH…. There’s alot of opportunity on this team.
Vientos yesterday in two games played first and third, I don’t think he even wants to learn the outfield.
I’m not specifying irreplaceable, I’m talking worth counting on.
Metsense Yesterday at 3:27 pm
Vientos will be at first baseman for another team
Alvarez
Gus Yesterday at 3:29 pm
I hope not Metsense, even though his content with the Mets losing was troubling.
I would like to compare the minor league numbers or de la Cruz, ONeil, and Mauricio
*of de la Cruz…
Watching all these foul balls, is it fair to put like a foul ball limit with two strikes, like five or six? I mean just tipping the ball is BS.
Brian Yesterday at 3:34 pm
ChrisF said something similar about foul balls
Ronnie advocating for something I said a few years ago
Gus Yesterday at 3:39 pm
I mean, these Guillorme, Mahle, scrub hitters that can’t get the ball in play and just nip a pitch… that’s lame.
I disagree Brian, with these pitchers not hitting, they don’t give a crap how many they hit.
Metsense Yesterday at 3:43 pm
I like that the foul ball rule to stay the same.
The Umpire was right by Pete’s hit by pitch
Gus Yesterday at 3:44 pm
I agree Metsense, but why was Lopez pulled?
This is how you burn bullpens and not recognizing when a pitcher is cruising.
Metsense Yesterday at 3:51 pm
You are right about that. Lopez can deliver multiple innings
Confident User Yesterday at 3:55 pm
One inning relievers,Mets use 4 guys today and tomorrow Gary will go on and on about who’s not available
SB?
Gus Yesterday at 3:58 pm
One of the few things I appreciated about Buck in 2022 was bringing a reliever back to start a second inning even if it was for a batter or two to stretch the bullpen. Then, last year he went away from it.
Confident User Yesterday at 4:00 pm
Nailbiter
Gus Yesterday at 4:04 pm
Last year Keuchel should have hit up Billy Eppler, Eppler would have called him up.
Veteran slugger Brandon Belt’s free agency has surprisingly dragged into the regular season, with the soon to be 36-year-old reportedly “baffled” by the lack of offers he’s received to this point. The Athletic’s Andrew Baggarly provided additional details on Belt’s free agency recently, noting that the Mets were the only club to offer Belt a guaranteed contract this winter, though he added that the deal was “almost entirely” incentives-based. Belt is coming off an excellent season with the Blue Jays that saw him slash .254/.369/.490 with 404 trips to the plate. That included a fantastic 146 wRC+ against right-handed pitching, the eleventh-best figure among all qualified hitters last year which trailed only Shohei Ohtani among this winter’s free agents. The performance was more or less par for the course for Belt, who’s hit .258/.369/.503 since the start of the 2020 season and is a career .261/.357/.460 hitter for his career.
Today on MLBTR
manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters that Martinez is dealing with “general body soreness” and is not yet ready for his big league debut. Now, DiComo reports that the plan is for Martinez to take the next two days off and return to minor league action on Tuesday, with Friday as the earliest Martinez could make his big league Mets debut.
the Vientos move looks even more stupid now.
Metsense Yesterday at 4:12 pm
It was very stupid
Gus Yesterday at 4:14 pm
Gentlemen, I need to go. I need someone to finish the game and get a save. Good afternoon and good luck!
Metsense Yesterday at 4:15 pm
Take care Gus
Gus Yesterday at 4:15 pm
Thank you Metsense. You also
See you tomorrow for the ass kicking they give Atlanta
Caring Character Yesterday at 4:17 pm
On the other hand it makes sense that relievers will more likely succeed in getting 3 outs than 6
Metsense Yesterday at 4:18 pm
Four relievers are one inning relievers and four should be multi-inning relievers
NYM6986 Yesterday at 4:20 pm
Woohoo a series win!
Metsense Yesterday at 4:20 pm
WIN
And on the road
Thanks for the chatter, have a pleasant evening
NYM6986 Yesterday at 4:22 pm
take care guys
