    They're really not making good use of their baserunners.
  2. Benjamin Grimm
    Bruce is a dead duck at the plate. Sheesh.
  3. Benjamin Grimm
    Four more walks would do it too.

    I thought it was built on Shea Stadium's parking lot.

    Granderson has rewarded our patience in the past. I'm not confident he'll do so again but there's no reason to consider cutting him. (Trading him might be another matter...) I'm sure that the Mets have some offensive hot streaks ahead of them, and some winning streaks, but it's getting late early. Losing nine of ten, no matter what time of year, puts you in a pretty deep hole.

    Kristie Ackert, Daily News wrote: Here we go again. Noah Syndergaard is being scratched for Thursday afternoon’s start with a "tired arm," Mets manager Terry Collins said. He described the injury as "tendinitis" in the righthander’s right biceps. The Mets are turning to Matt Harvey to take the mound against the Braves at 1 p.m. Syndergaard, who described it as discomfort in his shoulder/biceps area, will likely undergo tests and be examined Thursday. The hurler said he's being pushed back as a precaution and his plan is to focus on making a start Sunday in Washington.

    Final reminder that voting for all games from the first half of April will be closing on Sunday morning.

    Is it too soon to question how much of a genius Kevin Long actually is?

    Just turned on the game. Saw that the score was Braves 5, Mets 0. Turned off the game.

    Quick! Somebody check on Mike Glavine!

Following Tuesday's rainout, it was announced that the Mets would skip Gsellman's start and have Syndergaard pitch in Wednesday's game. Gsellman was going to be available out of the bullpen. Having Gsellman start Wednesday means that Syndergaard will face former Met R.A. Dickey for the first time since the two were traded for each other in 2012 on Thursday.

    I thought Syndergaard was supposed to pitch tonight, and that Gsellman was getting skipped. Did the plan change?
  14. Benjamin Grimm
    I'm cool with that. Who is Reynolds replacing? A pitcher, I assume? Or Plawecki?

    "Gift" is a relatively common name in South Africa. They use a lot of nouns as names, for some reason. I also remember "Fortune" as a male name.

    Whatever happened to Matt Wisler?

    And then they'd cut to the Million Dollar Movie!

    During a Marlins rally, they should play this video on the scoreboard: [youtube:3fhsgt58]I8kNBichN4c[/youtube:3fhsgt58]

    It's probably for the best. I think they can benefit from two consecutive days off. Rescheduling for late September seems an odd choice. It may be a game that doesn't matter; the Mets may be either in or out of the postseason by then, but if it's a frenetic race for a playoff berth, that doubleheader may put them at a bit of a disadvantage. At least it will be after rosters expand, and they'll have a 28-man bullpen.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    I'm not sure how that could happen. I see that you (and "Lunch") have voted in 17 of the 19 games. Zvon has voted in 13. Vic Sage and FK in 7. (BEWARE: Games are closing soon! Don't blow your chance at a perfect voting record!) And five other people who have voted in one game each. Perfect voting record so far (through 19 games) for Ashie62, Benjamin Grimm, G-Fafif, TMF, TransMonk, and LWFS.

I don't know the exact dates, but the Mets do have to delay Rosario's callup to delay free agency. So maybe they're already at the point where Rosario has been secured through 2023. I recall seeing delayed callups for Ike Davis and a few other players because of this. And yes, delaying free agency is a much bigger deal than delaying arbitration.
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    Yeah, I can see them retaining Cabrera for 2018 (unless he totally breaks down) to help (along with Flores) to transition the infield next year. Especially if they choose to delay the promotion of Rosario until May 1.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    If the Mets wait another couple of weeks to call him up, the Mets will have Rosario under their control through 2023. If they wait another 12 months, plus a week or two, they'll have him under control through 2024. I can't help but think that there are big changes coming before next April. With Duda, Granderson, Bruce, Reyes, and Walker in their walk year, and an option on Cabrera, there will be decisions to be made. Can/would the Mets give starting jobs to Cecchini, Rosario, and Smith all at once? A very risky move to make when you're in win-now mode, a mode which I certainly hope they'll be in for 2018. I can also imagine them importing a speedy center fielder to hit at the top of their lineup for next year. But of course for now we have to mainly worry about 2017. I wouldn't panic yet; they have good players with good track records. I don't think these past nine-games are necessarily a harbinger of the next 143 games. The Mets have a hole to climb out of, and they may or may not do that, but we shouldn't rule them out any time soon.
