Tough loss last night. Now it's a trip to San Fran to face the Giants.

How are you feeling about the first week of the 2026 Mets?

[metirish]

I'm feeling not good at all, thank you 

 

Can a series in the second week of the season be big?  I think so and this one is , Giants aren't great either though

[A Boy Named Seo]

On the bright side, Lovelady got a day off and could conceivably pitch today. But on the down side, Lovelady got a day off and could conceivably pitch today.

I'm not worried about Bo but hopefully some of those liners will start dropping tonight.  I am already worried about Semien. I know it's only 20 ABs, but he had about 40 more in spring that amounted to a .205/.239/.410 line, so the body of work is slowly becoming damning. 

[whippoorwill]

Line drives are always a good sign

[Edgy MD]

Take heart.  We haven't signed Julio Teheran for this series.

I mean, not yet, anyhow.

[Edgy MD]

Mets all-time record vs. the Giants (I believe) is 302–348.

[whippoorwill]

Ha! I can remember dad and I staying up and watching these games and then getting up for work and school.

can’t imagine that now. 

[MFS62]

Brock, btw in case nobody has told you, the tradition at the old site was if you start an in game thread;

if the Mets win you do the next one- to keep the mojo going 

if the Mets lose, someone else posts the next one., stopping the bad mojo.
Later

Vientos is at first, batting fifth sixth. Benge sits again versus a lefty and Tyrone Taylor gets the start and bats ninth. Semien, who as you will recall, sucks, is hitting seventh. God speed to Francisco Alvarez who is sandwiched between those two.

[Fman99]

Bo Bichette is, apparently, able to hit for extra bases.  1-0 good guys 

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Robbie Ray is an XL wearing a size M

[Centerfield]

A hit!  A run!  What is this madness.

Yeah he's 10 lbs of sausage stuffed into a 5 lb casing 

[Centerfield]

Maybe Meatloaf was wrong 

[Fman99]

Ugh and then you know 

[metirish]

It's falling asunder 

[Frayed Knot]

I'm hanging around for three innings or until they give up 17 runs ... whichever comes first.

[Centerfield]

This team looks like shit. Absolute shit. 

[Edgy MD]

I knew Vientos was going to come up slugging after that defensive stop got his adrenaline going.

[metirish]

Oh for fecks sake , Semien can't make the play , Peterson getting hit

[Centerfield]

wtf. Cut Semien. 

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Good for Vientos, but what the heck was Semien doing that far out in centerfield?

[Edgy MD]

Reaching beyond his grasp.

But we have that low pitch count going.  It's moving along like three-pitch softball.

[Centerfield]

How can a team look this bad just a week into the season?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Free Ronny Mauricio 

[Fman99]

Robbie Ray sounds like Monica Seles up there 

[Edgy MD]

Soto very chasey this season.

[Edgy MD]

Frickkin backpedally Bader.

[Frayed Knot]

One trend from last year  continues: Lindor and Soto never getting hits/on base in the same inning. When one hits the other doesn't and vice versa.

[metirish]

Good at bats from Bo so far and good catch at the fence by Bader
