I'm sure some of you out there have the actual stats, but it feels like several promising Mets seasons have been derailed on a long visit to California. Of course, this year's Mets have a buffer and even if they go 0-10 (heaven forbid) they will still be in first place! The last true Disastrous West Coast Road Trip was 2010. Mets went into the break at 48-40, 4 games behind the Braves and one game behind the Dodgers for the Wild Card. They went 2-9 against SF, LA, and ARZ, and ended the road trip in third place (passed by Philadelphia who would win the division) and totally out of it. In the 2-11 run against LA and SF last August, the worst was at home. The only 2 wins came in California.

    Expected matchups: Dodgers Walker v. Gonsolin Bassitt v. Anderson Peterson v. Buehler Williams v. Uriah Padres Carrasco v. Darvish Walker v. Manea Bassitt v. Musgrove Angels Peterson v. Syndergaard Williams v. Detmers Carrasco v. Ohtani

    8-5 is the minimum. It is also what I am predicting. 10+ wins: Clear October calendar. Team cannot be stopped. 8-9 wins: Mets are as good as we think they are. Start reviewing your October calendar. 5-7 wins: inconclusive. With mediocrity around us in the decision, could still make playoffs but no guarantees. 4 or fewer wins: Shades of August 2021. Can't beat the good teams.

    Edgy MD wrote: I'm crediting Alonso, McNeil, Lindor, Walker, et al. Fair, but it's also reasonable to acknowledge that the Lindor acquisition was made possible by the change in ownership. I give non-player credit to: Cohen: 40% for making the necessary resources available. Eppler: 10% Bassitt, Canha, and Marte have all been good acquisitions; Escobar hasn't been great. Note that Scherzer doesn't really count here; his acquisition was just a function of money as the best available pitcher. Prior versions of front office and prior ownership: 30% Alonso, McNeil, Nimmo, Walker, Carrasco, Smith, Diaz: a pretty good base to build around was already in place. Showalter: 20%. Steady leadership and generally good strategic decisions.

I think what we're generally seeing is Guillorme platooning with Canha, with McNeil swinging between the two positions. But McNeil is probably getting extra rest as he recovers from some bumps and bruises. Double-digit division leads can allow you to do that. That's a more comprehensive way of looking at what I was trying to express, though Buck seems to find other places, CF, 1B, to stick Canha in the lineup.

    Big test for Trevor on Sunday at LA. I think he's up to it.

    =roger_that post_id=94222 time=1654036277 user_id=128] We were told Nimmo would be ready. Any update there?

    =bmfc1 post_id=94188 time=1654026350 user_id=73] Pete gets to take a breather when he DHs and Dom has been at 1st. With Dom gone, Canha and JD are the back-ups at first.

    If you're only the 5th or 6th-best team in the league, are you really that good?
  10. Gwreck
    Too early to discuss that Mets need to have a better record than either Milwaukee or Los Angeles in order to get a first-round bye in the playoffs?
  11. Gwreck
    We might be seeing Nido or Mazeika pitching before the night is out. And agree: Davis or Smith needs to go in at DH. No need for Jeff to play more.
  12. Gwreck
    We've got Trevor Williams tomorrow. Lots of innings from Peterson would be great.

Today's game is the problem. Saturday night with post-game Fireworks on a holiday weekend is a great game; no issues there at all. And ESPN national TV games can't be a surprise anymore (it wasn't as if other teams were playing night games). But on the holiday itself? The Mets are on a homestand and Washington played yesterday afternoon, traveling all the way from…DC.

    =bmfc1 post_id=93528 time=1653509003 user_id=73] Cohen has all the money you want from an owner but after the lockout was over they started and stopped with Bassitt.

    Damn
  19. Gwreck
    Going to need to win in the 10th
  20. Gwreck
    A little concerned
  21. Gwreck
    We need to end it here with Ruf.
  22. Gwreck
    Huge
  23. Gwreck
    Third pitch to Estrada was strike 3. This inning should've been long over.
  24. Gwreck
    Just like JT Snow. I'm not worried. We win this eventually.
  25. Gwreck
    Oh crap
