    He’s had the Achilles problem for a while but the hand injury occured Tuesday while batting against Yamamoto.
  2. Gwreck
    As a point of reference: the 2022 Phillies fired Joe Girardi on June 3 with a 22-29 record. They went 65-46 the rest of the way, capturing the final wild card spot.

    Your lineup today, and I promise there aren’t typos here: Benge RF Bichette 3B Lindor SS Robert CF Alvarez C Melendez DH Semien 2B Baty 1B Taylor LF
  4. Gwreck
    True, although more Baty in the lineup right now may be a bad thing.
  5. Gwreck
    No, he hasn’t. If/when Polanco goes on the IL, they should call Mauricio back up and give both Lindor and Semien some days off.

    Bad in-game decision-making cost the Mets a couple games this year. That’s squarely on Mendoza, but it also was only a couple games. Bad fielding/mental errors suggests a lack of preparation, which is at least partly on Mendoza. But the complete inability to hit? I have a harder time putting that squarely on Mendoza.

    I also like Skip Schumacher as a candidate but he is currently managing the Rangers, so that might result in a tampering charge. JD Martinez seems like an obviously choice and checks a lot of boxes (including Spanish fluency).
  8. Gwreck
    Yes of course, although using either of those players means burning them plus an outfielder to come in on defense.
  9. Gwreck
    We do. Vientos or Taylor.

    Ronnie and Joe Buck have forgotten that Ohtani has only about 10 starts as a Dodger. It’s still a good stat that this was his first leadoff walk but he hasn’t been a starting pitcher for 3 years or something
  11. Gwreck
    Pham doesn’t look ready to be playing in major league games.
  12. Gwreck
    1300. MJ Melendez

    What’s your thought re: potential changes to be made? -More plate appearances for…Torrens? Tyrone Taylor? -Call up Morabito, Clifford, or Ewing? -See if JD Martinez or some other guy on the scrap heap wants to play? -Wait it out because Lindor and Bichette are going to figure it out?

    I was never a huge Buck fan, but it take less than 2 innings to realize just how much better Joe Buck is than Joe Davis.
  15. Gwreck
    New this year. Particularly stunning in that they don’t need the money.
  16. Gwreck
    I’m not exactly sure the Mets’ TV booth has openings at the moment. That said, Cliff Floyd has done some very good work for MLB Network and if SNY could hire him away I’d be quite happy with that. Curtis Granderson also did some work for TBS which I haven’t seen much of but I can easily imagine him on a Mets broadcast too.
  17. Gwreck
    He was. Gerber, Garcia, and Lovelady are not on the active roster. Williams is (but hasn’t pitched in 8 days), as is Austin Warren.
  18. Gwreck
    This is the first of three ESPN games this year. All are weeknights (the others are the first game post-All Star break in Philadelphia, and the series finale against Baltimore in September). Joe Buck (yes, oddly — he is doing this game on ESPN) has play-by-play with Ronnie and Orel Hershiser on color.
  19. Gwreck
    There’s no shame in the Mets losing this 2-1. The Dodgers are a significantly better team. It’s the losses to St. Louis (not even trying to have a good team this year), Sacramento, and Arizona that are so maddening, because those aren’t good teams.
  20. Gwreck
    If we’re walking Ohtani, may as well bring Williams in now.
  21. Gwreck
    It’s sitting right next to the evidence of Tommy Hunter’s back spasms. The ones that got Billy Eppler in trouble for misusing the IL.
  22. Gwreck
    Devin Williams has fallen off the chart because he hasn’t pitched since last Tuesday against Arizona.
  23. Gwreck
    Not a bad outing by the bullpen. Maybe someone there can hit too.
  24. Gwreck
    If Polanco was well enough to play in the field I’d consider more Alvarez DH and Torrens in the lineup against lefties
  25. Gwreck
    The Mets hold an option on him for 2027 but this is the last guaranteed year on his contract. Obviously we’ve heard in-the-moment calls for his immediate firing. Thinking realistically, how bad would things have to be for a move to be made? I’ll set the over/under at a .500 record and <6 games back from the division on May 31. If the Mets can’t accomplish that, Mendoza can’t continue. That’s 59 games in, with 36 of them coming against the weakest* opponents the Mets will face this year. *Proprietary Gwreck formula, averaging a team’s 2025 record and 2026 FanGraphs projected record. The bottom 10 are well-represented in the Mets’ March/April/May schedule: Colorado (6 games), Washington (6), White Sox, Angels (3), Minnesota (3), Pittsburgh (3), Sacramento (3), Tampa, St. Louis (3), and Miami (6).
