IGT, 2026-04-09, Diamondbacks @ Mets

[The Hot Corner]

I think McLean just got DeGrom'd.  Pitched a stellar game, but gets victimized by lack of offensive support.  

[Centerfield]

Defense not great either. 

[metirish]

Life absolutely sucked out of the stadium 

[Centerfield]

Not the main story tonight, but Luis Garcia needs to be DFAd tonight. 

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This team just isn't any fun.

[Frayed Knot]

Been outscored 14 - 3 over the last 17 innings.

[Fman99]

Not good, Lynn

[Centerfield]

Astonishing how bad this lineup looks. Day in and day out. 

[Edgy MD]

Richard Lovelady, PotG!

[Gwreck]

Offense is terrible, but also:  Mets learned in a powerful way tonight why it helps to have real outfielders playing in the outfield.

I’m not at all astonished.  The offense was put together on the hope/assumption that multiple guys would improve/return to form/could repeat what they did in a relatively small sample size last year.

And of course that was before the best player went on the IL.

I'm tired of hearing about Lindor in March and April , we need him now

Where to start. 
 

The Mets have a real outfielder but he was on the bench. Even guarding a slim lead in the late innings, when moving Baty to 1B and removing Vientos makes all the sense in the world. Because they’re playing short handed. 
 

they’re short handed because they signed a guy who’s always hurt and now he’s hurt. But you won’t IL him because the lineup is punch less without him. 
 

all this talk of better ABs and I haven’t seen shit.

Well…you have.  We can be fair about this too.  Luis Robert Jr. entered the day leading the league in on-base percentage and he went 1-3 with a walk today.  Not a lot of complaints with his approach.

I’ve also been generally pleased with Alvarez and Vientos had several good games.

Bichette and Lindor and Semien?  Not so much.

I spent the night at my son’s house , as I was cat-sitting. 
Hubby watched and sent updates that started good and went downhill

McLean is on his fantasy team
