  1. that was ball 5 to Canha, good AB from him not chasing after the ump called a shitty strike 1.

  3. What is McNeil doing there?
  4. These hats are ugly The combinations of Green Hats, Black Tops (with Blue Writing), and White Bottoms is REALLY ugly. The design of the American Flag hats is very nice - but do it in White with a Blue 'NY' and wear the white Jerseys. On Edit - here are the White Hats from 1997 - put the American Flag on these, wear these jerseys, Done. https://www.amazinavenue.com/2015/8/20/9182397/new-yor-mets-white-hatshttps://www.amazinavenue.com/2015/8/20/9182397/new-yor-mets-white-hats https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/f0myADakuOA6wvpyt_NbuMEas84=/0x23:3072x2071/920x613/filters:focal(0x23:3072x2071):format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/47002458/Rick_Reed_white_hat_April_16__1997_Al_Bello_Allsport.0.0.jpg>
  5. Lindor doesn't make us wait long! the bad feelings of the past few weeks feel erased right now
  6. ALVAREZ!!!!!!!!!
  7. DEEEEEEEEEEEEEFENSE!
  8. FUCKYEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  9. Walks can kill. please kill them here!
  10. 1:10 on a weekday while school is still in session? poor scheduling.
  11. Jose Reyes is not a positive influence on society as a whole
  12. Thank the Mets doctors - a very often maligned group - on this on!
  13. German got the Scherzer treatment tonight, ejected and ten games off for "sticky stuff"
  14. This is a long way from a credible allegation of cheating, but hey, its the Yankees, I hope they get caught doing something wrong.
  15. The consensus on Vientos seems to be that he is 1B/DH-only - since Alonso isn't going anywhere, he isn't coming up until the Mets are ready to hand him the RH DH at-bats. I think its perfectly valid to want to try the guys on the roster a little longer. If Sanchez comes up and gets a bunch of DH ABs then break out the pitchforks. If Sanchez comes up and mostly catches (or mostly rides the bench behind Alvarez until Narvaez is healthy) there should be no beef here.
  16. No need for us to argue about something over which we have no control. I think you just said "there is no need for the internet"
  17. BULLSHIT!!! WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED!!
  18. Frayed Knot wrote: I'm not saying you wouldn't put Sanchez behind the plate. But he was never more than a hitter who could (sorta) catch and now you're not even sure he can hit. Agreed, but it's a minor league deal. He doesn't have to be better than anyone on the current roster, he has to be better than the next guy up if an injury occurs, and that seems possible
  19. Frayed Knot wrote: Philly fans vs soccer hooligans. Put a fence around them and charge admission to watch. Phillies fans are soft shit, NOT A WORD to me as I paraded through their decidedly family friendly ballpark in Mets gear. Same for the Eagles as I've been there in Jets gear. I'm sure Veterans Stadium drew a hostile crowd, but those folks have been priced out of the new parks.
  20. Frayed Knot wrote: Sanchez is insurance more at RH DH than he is at catcher. Maybe, but I would rather have him catching at AAA in case of emergency than not, so I like the move. Unless it means an eventually Alvarez demotion. If Sanchez were to start mashing, the Mets could carry 3 catchers with the idea that Alvarez or Sanchez is the regular DH while Narvaes catches . This comes down to whether they would rather lose Nido or Vogebach at that point
  21. Edgy MD wrote: That's as good a theory as any, I guess. I'm kind of flummoxed. Are there any other suspensions we've seen where the player can't be replaced? I can't think of any
  22. The Mets are 17-17. While some changes might be needed, it is not panic time yet. Releasing a 400 OBP hitter who was good for us last year seems pretty panicky. Glass half full on the offense: there was a time after years ago where it felt like the Mets were average everywhere on offense. Being average everywhere makes it harder to improve via trade. This year, the Mets are killing it with Nimmo, Lindor, Alonso and McNeil. If they don't start getting more of the other spots, it should be easier to improve via trade. And hey, at least the Mets didn't give 87 million to Contreras - a month into his Cardinals (10-24) tenure they seem to have serious buyer's remorse, having just announced he will shift to DH as the pitchers basically don't trust him.
  23. Blue is the answer to one of my favorite "trick" trivia questions - who was the last switch hitter to win the American League MVP?
  24. Maybe the Mets need a humidor too.
  25. The no hitter thing is garbage. He was fine after until what I believe was an ankle injury a few starts later. Terry didn't hurt Santana's career
