IGT #162 - Mets at Marlins, 9/28/2025

[Cowtipper]

2025 Mets:



4 guys with 25+ homers.

2 guys with 115+ runs.

2 guys with 100+ RBI.

2 guys with 30+ steals.



We had the league walks leader, doubles leader, stolen base leader, OBP leader and four All-Stars.



And we got 83 wins and no playoffs.

[kcmets]

Not sure if I'm sad, relieved, disgusted or just plum exhausted.



Plenty of time to sort that out I guess....

[Cowtipper]

I'm feeling a surprising amount of relief. Like I just wanted to get whatever the heck this season was over with so I can start looking forward to next season.

Ronnie: "A must-win game 162, and they didn't even know who to give the ball to."

A good and well-deserved dig.

One final strategic decision I didn't agree with: letting Mullins bat with the season on the line and Marte available on the bench.

On some level I'm glad it's over

Mets go down without a whimper.



Well, a disappointing and underachieving season finally comes to an end.

Precisely the two words I would use to describe it.



It seems almost impossible that they could be so loaded, yet so underwhelming.

[Frayed Knot]

From May 30, 2024 thru June 12, 2025 the Mets went 112-64, a .636 win pct or a 103 Win pace

From June 13 until the end of the season they went 38-55, a .408 win pct / that's a team on pace for a 66-96 year.



And while it's obviously not the same team all through those two stretches, the core was similar only with Soto added and Senga added.

I watched Mendoza on the post game



It sounded like he may have chewed out the team



I felt bad for him. He spoke like a guy very unsure about his future

[metirish]

Chew them out after that game ? For what ?

[Frayed Knot]

The American Ryder Cup team just checked in and said, "Man those really Mets sucked this year!"







I didn't watch a minute of it this year -- despite it being on the only course used by the professionals that I've actually played (twice).

But after being down by like two touchdowns after Friday and Saturday's matches, USA mounted a furious comeback only to fall just

a little bit short. Why the Euro teams always seem to do better in the pairs half of the tourney and the Americans the singles portion

remains an unexplained mystery to me. But that's a topic for another thread, I suppose. I just brought up the topic so as to get the joke in.

Seeing reports Pete is opting out



Ugh

[Cowtipper]

Can't blame him. He's a winner who wants to play on a winner.

[Lefty Specialist]

Well of course he opts out. It'd be agent malpractice if he didh't. Too bad Frankie Montas won't opt out.

[DocTee]

Yabbut....did he have to declare that within an hour of the season ending?
