What if the rangers dealt JdG back to NYM for a sack of sunflower seeds? Would the Mets do it?
Ah, the weird things I can say when talking to myself’
Rick JM Yesterday at 7:36 pm
Hey, is that the first time they’ve scored before their opponents in the last week?
You simply can’t have a runner on 3rd base with < 2 outs and not get him home
I you want to qwin
So, 2nd inning, 2 singles, one then one double, only one run. You can't do that if you want to win
Hmmm... is there some important college basketball game in north carolina this evening?
DP: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB
LINDOR!
That's #23 for our MVP
Rick JM Yesterday at 7:48 pm
NYM 2, OAK 0
Nimmo continues to look terrible
JDM 2024: .257, 12, 53
I was looking at JDM's stats this morn
His 2024 projected to 162 games compared to lifetime numbers
And his 2024 look pretty good in comparison
he's at .257 BA compared to lifetime .285
And his 2024 HR projection is 33% from lifetime
Rick JM Yesterday at 7:56 pm
But given the small reduction in singles from lifetime, the big part of his BA reduction is due to the drop in HRs
For example, his 2024 HR stats (12) project to 22 HR per 162 games
whereas his lifetime HR per 162 g is 33, which is 11 HR better than 2024 projection
Also, his hits, 2B and 3B 2024 projections compare favorably to lifetime, so his BA drop from .285 to .257 is due to HR drop more than any other factor
The other significant changes are both BBs and SOs - measurably higher in 2024 projection compared to lifetime
So
The summary of this is that JDM appears to be pretty much the same hitter in 2024 compared to lifetime
Oh crap. peterson has runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs in 4th inning
Rick JM Yesterday at 8:02 pm
The biggest difference in JDM current is the 33% drop in HRs compared to lifetime
Thank the deities that Peterson wiggled out with no damage done
ALONSO!
#26, and if I'm not mistaken, that was hit on a change up
Met 3-0 inning 4
Looks like Peterson's getting his consistent run support
To be fair to DP, he's yet to have given up a run
and his season ERA is rapidly approaching 3.00
Rick JM Yesterday at 8:09 pm
OH! I get it, so LF Daz Cameron is son of former MLer Mike Cameron
Might have been able to tell if I had been looking at the screen instead of my keyboard
Daz is a handsome lad like dad
Daddy Mike is looking pretty buff for 51 years old
Nice throw from Daz to nail ill-advised attempt by Gamel to score
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm enjoying doing the play-by-play/color on this platform
I knew Gamel was going to be nailed as he rounded 3B
DP continues to shine through 4.2 innings - 0 runs, 1 H, 3 BB, 3 K
Rick JM Yesterday at 8:21 pm
DP is looking great, through 5 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 4 BB, 3 K
Look at that - Daddy Mike's Season HR high of 30 was in 2004 with NYM
Lindor's 23rd HR in 3rd inning was #100 with Mets
Oh, Nimmo
He's down to .226 BA
Nimm... oooooooh... ooooooh
Long double by Andujar. About 4 feet from a HR
The other double came with 2 outs, so this is the biggest threat because 0 outs
Rick JM Yesterday at 8:32 pm
Weird bad throw by Lindor trying to get Andujar on 3rd
1st and 3rd, no outs
First major crisis for DP
Pitching against guy who hit 3-run HR last night
Those were two dangerous pitches he threw, but he got the K
Sac fly by Daz, Mets 3 Oak 1
Snakes 18 wins in last 21 games. I realize they're mashing, but how can they be doing so well with that pitching staff
given how Snakes and Pads are smoking in late august, mets 6.5 games back means Mets postseason is in serious danger
Rick JM Yesterday at 8:40 pm
Alonso 3 for 3 today. Not being fooled, making contact even on outside pitches
Peterson into inning 7
2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 4 BB, 4 K
Has DP become the... well not ace
Let's call him The Stopper
He gave up hit #3 with 1 out, and here comes Mendoza to yank DP
Possibly his best outing this year
Mendoza is so predictable
Rick JM Yesterday at 8:49 pm
Welcome peoples to the RJM Mets360 podcast
Metsense Yesterday at 8:50 pm

Rick JM Yesterday at 9:08 pm
Why isn't this guy Klein pitching for us? We can replace stankavino with him
Well, I didn't even get a single nyuk for that one
At least one person on this side of the screen found it funny
Metsense Yesterday at 9:10 pm

Rick JM Yesterday at 9:18 pm
ChrisF is a known hated of artic wildlife

Metsense Yesterday at 9:18 pm

Metsense Yesterday at 9:20 pm

Metsense Yesterday at 9:21 pm
Danny Young ! Mendoza Does listen
Rick JM Yesterday at 9:21 pm
And didn't we get archangel acuna for one of them
Metsense Yesterday at 9:21 pm
That wasn't sterns
Rick JM Yesterday at 9:22 pm
I don't know why I argue with you guys. You're constantly confusing the issue with facts
I'm just kidding
You might not believe this, but I enjoy being the remedial student around here
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:26 pm
Metsense, I posted a long reply about this years team to one of your and Gus’s comments today, and for some reason, it wont show up. But suffice to say, with the remaining games left, I think it will be a minor miracle to break .500 this season
Metsense Yesterday at 9:26 pm
Young Is Doing good this year
I looked at the schedule also And I think They can Win 84 games
Rick JM Yesterday at 9:28 pm
They'll break 500, but with the way the pads and snakes are smoking, there'll be not october in the Citi
Metsense Yesterday at 9:28 pm
It depends on Atlanta And the series in Atlanta In September
Rick JM Yesterday at 9:28 pm
Nice play by 2B
Gelof
ATL appears broken
People complain about pooh-Bear
But their olsen has fallen off a cliff
OPS+: Ozuna 161, Riley 118, Darnaud 117 part time, olsen 101
everyone else below 100
Name Yesterday at 9:34 pm
mop up Ottavino
Rick JM Yesterday at 9:35 pm
Hey, need to make the game interesting
He'll give up an 8-run HR with the bases empty
Name Yesterday at 9:35 pm
Nimmo doesn't want to make it interesting
Metsense Yesterday at 9:37 pm
Nice Nimmo
Nice Lindor
Rick JM Yesterday at 9:38 pm
Here's an interesting unexpected fact:
JDM leads Mets regulars with .345 OBP
Only Met regular with OPS+ under 100 is McNeil at 94
Compare that to bravos
Name Yesterday at 9:40 pm
not interesting yet but
Rick JM Yesterday at 9:40 pm
