IGT 05/28/24 -- LAD @ NYM -- Game One

[Edgy MD]

Now, I'd pinch run Marte for Alonso.



Don't chase, Tyrone.

[Cowtipper]

I think Bader is the most pleasant offensive surprise this season.

[Cowtipper]

Hudson's melting down!

[Edgy MD]

Shoulda squeezed 'em back.

[Edgy MD]

Wow.



What's the alignment now? Vientos to first?

[Cowtipper]

I think it might be time to part ways with McNeil. He's a .280/.343/.394 hitter with a .738 OPS since 2021. Remove 2022 and he's hitting .259.

[Radar]

McNeil, Nimmo, Lindor boy that's a lot of money not producing at all. One third of their contracts should go to charity.

Hate these fucking clown car rules!

Yeah, the automatic runner is one of the most egregious insults to the game.

And so is the Mets' pitching.



And the Mets in general.

[Frayed Knot]

If nothing else we're going to be sending the Ohtani groupies home disappointed.

[kcmets]

Good lord!

[Radar]

They're such fn losers!!!!!!

[Edgy MD]

Terrific job, Megill. Not a loser.



We turn one of those double-plays and it's a different story.

[Cowtipper]

Time to tear down.

[bmfc1]

Bases loaded, 3-1 count, and Taylor watches it. And then the former batting champion fails again. Pathetic.

What happened?

Yeah, but we didn't. This team finds ways to lose......not win. Sell,sell!!

[Edgy MD]

Let Nido bat or go to the suddenly heroic Narváez?

I'm not sure what you're advocating. But if you want to trade Megill for cash, I disagree.

[Cowtipper]

The Alonso-Nimmo-McNeil-Diaz (and Nido) core has been together since 2019.



They're barely a .500 team.



Add Lindor and Marte to that core, and they're still barely a .500 team.



All these guys were supposed to make them winners.



They're not winning.

Especially since, like most situations with runners on, it reduces our run production.

[Cowtipper]

Last year, they said they were building for 2025 and I guess they were right. Honestly, I'd trade Garrett and SRF now, while they still have value. DJ Stewart too, because his is quickly dropping as his OPS falls. Toss Narvaez for prospects and give the job to Nido and Hayden Senger/Matt O'Neill. Then ditch Nido at the trade deadline while they can still get something for him and by then Alvarez will be back I think. If the Mets aren't in it to win it, get rid of JD Martinez too, like they did with Verlander last year. He'd be worth something.

Yet another cock punch loss



Tylord did all he could



22-31



Game Two up

[bmfc1]

MLB could put the 10th inning runner halfway between 3d and home and the Mets wouldn't score.

[Cowtipper]

And fire Mendoza.

[Edgy MD]

Two of those failed DPs were on two-time Gold Glove Francisco Lindor.

It shouldn't have come to this

[Frayed Knot]

The outs in the 9th & 10th innings, all with one or more runners on: K, PO, PO, K, FO, K

iow, ONE ball out of the infield, and not in a situation where it did us any good.

Oh yeah, FOUR hits thru 10 innings, three of them singles.

[Cowtipper]

Mets are on pace to go 66-96.



That's the worst team since ...



1993.



This is the worst team money can buy.
