Also, another clear misapplication of the dumbass replay rules. #WhyIQuit

How many times do you think Zimmo has arrived at 2nd base in his life? You'd figure he'd have an idea about timing his slide by now

oh good

Change of scenery trade for McNeil, probably to the kinda team that could use a gritty all-arounder (Pittsburgh) and/or one that can look beyond blemishes for the performance (Oakland)-- we'll take less than they hope to get back, tho. Boras certain to auction Conforto, I see him going to Seattle. Mets counter and sign Castellanos who opts out of Cincy. The DH could solve a few things for us if we still believe in Smith/Davis. I think Baez is back (right handed power, good glove if flawed in many ways, but buddies with Lindor). I think they will try and retain Syndy & Stro and probably Walker too but not sure who the FA starters are this time around. The Front Office gets a permanent GM, Scott becomes his assistant (maybe) and they make the call on Rojas. Sandy sticks around in emeritus role he was sorta meant to have.

As the season goes along I'm getting the impression that the club identified the problems with the hitting approach before this year even started (as explained they wanted to make a move but gave Chili a few weeks). What's happened since is they haven't been satisfied by the buy-in from the players. Same thing with the injuries if you read between the lines of Scott's remarks a few weeks back. The rat-racoon and Donnie: Shenanigans from a club that has lost its way and don't take shit from nobody. They're like Trump supporters. Adding: This doesn't absolve the front office/management from responsibility for this disaster, because their solutions clearly haven't worked. But I dunno. We know McNeil is hardheaded and been jerked around and punched in the face on camera by a guy who's definitely going nowhere, Conforto is a Boras free-agent-to-be, Smith would probably prefer to be a first baseman somewhere and Davis is probably unnerved by all the trade talk. They all believe they're good hitters naturally and you'd presume their inclination would be to fall back on what they know when things get difficult for them. Alonso is a weird case in that he's so one-dimensional, but its a good dimension to have. But boy is he an easy out sometimes. Good line Jellystone park!

My inclination in these polls is always to choose the most optimistic option and I hovered with the "13" box selected before I thought, "No, man. What's most likely is they hold serve on trend with the big picture, and if you're wrong, what a nice surprise!" I checked 6, I'm surprised, and I'm disappointed. This is why I'm quitting.

Maybe replace her with something edgier and more modern? https://wallpapers.com/images/high/anime-girl-mikoto-misaka-w0e5dautd4rwbb2s.jpg>

Mass resignations have begun affecting the Met Fan Base but there's still time to make them regret those decisions before they clean out their cubicles and meet with Sarah in HR for their exit interviews. Interestingly, many seem interested in applying to be Giants fans, but only following tonight's thrilling matchup between visitors' Alex Wood (10-4, 4.11) and Carlos Carrasco (0-2, 8.82). DON'T MISS A PITCH

Thanks. What you're saying is the Mets need Duda back. Or perhaps Kevin Long. He was the be aggressive on your pitch coach iirc.

Pete is not a natural born hitter. Team 2 Quit accepting new members

I'm rooting for a balk or WP

Here we go again 🐻

What a terrible game in every respect by both teams

Whatever became of Jose Peraza? We could probably use his lumber now. Oh what a terrible error

Yeah it's a mystery to me, just something we noticed. If the seats in medium left were in fair terroitory the Mets would lead the league in hitting is all

Strong unfouled hit for Zimmo there

Crawford cannot stop beating us. We learned from a Giants fan seated behind us last night that Crawford grew up a Giants fan and was actually pictured in the paper back when they threatened to move to Tampa. Check out the photo. https://throughthefencebaseball.com/brandon-crawfords-journey-from-childhood-dream-to-world-series-reality/https://throughthefencebaseball.com/brandon-crawfords-journey-from-childhood-dream-to-world-series-reality/

Wtf Luis

Good fair ball by Dom there

Please turn in you homework 🍎

We were talking about this last night but what do you think-- do the Mets hit too many foul balls? I know fouls are sort of looked at as benign at worst but you got to wonder. It seems like while this team is busy not getting hits they seem to foul off at least 1 hittable pitch in every turn-- often, the best one they will see. So. Do the Mets out-foul the opposition? I have no idea but would not be surprised. Are foul balls good bad or indifferent, overall? They advance the count against them and only in rare cases they drive in runs; on the other hand the alternative is often a taken strike which also ain't good for all those reasons and more. But I dunno. Do any geeks study this? Is there a way for a club to "reduce" their fouls? Would the Mets benefit from fouling less and hitting the ball fair more? Do the Mets foul more than the other guys? How does fouling index with runs scored?

Alonso swings at Ball 6 but we get lucky on a bad error

=bmfc1 post_id=75473 time=1629923243 user_id=73] Lindor not playing today makes me feel as if the sense of urgency isn't there. Perhaps he could have come out of yesterday's game early given that it was over early.

uh, they forgot to put Lindor in the lineup
