  1. Gonna watch for an hour. unless Peterson sends me to bed earlier than that.
  2. This is a terrible lineup. Soto hurt, Baty not playing well enough to play against lefties, Lindor struggling, Bichette struggling, Polanco struggling. credit to Mendy for trying something different.
  3. I don’t see how this helps. Pham hasn’t been effective since the first half of 2023. 38 years old. And a bit of a head case. I guess he’s a placeholder until Soto is ready.
  4. Agree on your main point. And I also agree that a manager or GM shouldn’t be fired based upon what happens in the first 16 games of a season. I do think Mendy should be fired, but that goes back to what we learned about him last year. And the fact that he’s showing he’s not any different this year.
  5. Sure. And many of those guys, like Lindor and Bichette, have enough of a track record that you figure they will bounce back. For them, “it’s early” means “be patient, they’ll be fine”. Some of those guys are question marks. Baty, Benge. Crow-Armstrong. For them, “it’s early” means “sure, they’re not great so far, but these guys could still be very good”. And for some of those guys, like Arenado and Semien, who are likely shot, “it’s early” means “I don’t see any signs of a bounceback. Better start looking for better options now”.
  6. Well deserved. A pathetic effort by this team. Mendoza continuing to demonstrate that he has no idea how to right the ship.
  7. What a horrific homestand. Mendoza really should not survive the road trip.
  8. That Torrens AB is the first good AB I’ve seen.
  9. Looks like another pathetic day for the offense. maybe we should try falling behind by 7
  10. Every AB results in a shallow fly ball.
  11. Btw. Insane that the Mets are being sent out west again, and this time without an off-day.
  12. Mets try to avoid the sweep. Morale low. Outlook dismal. Hope hangs by a string.
  13. One of the worst aspects of this team is how little fight they have after falling behind.
  14. I’ll start one after the next loss. So, tomorrow.
  15. Did you guys hear Mendoza justify Lindor’s baserunning last night? That’s crazy to me. You can’t be erased from third like that. The way I understand it, on that ball you take a secondary lead but don’t break for home until the throw goes to second. It’s very unlikely that the SS would throw you out on a tag play at home. It’s unlikely he would even try. He has to come across the bag and completely turn his body to get anything on a throw home. A fast runner like Lindor scores easily. This is like the ridiculous send in the Pittsburgh game. Acknowledge the mistake so it doesn’t happen again. inexcusable.
  16. Five Mets regulars have an OPS in the .500s. Francisco Lindor .558 Bo Bichette .524 Marcus Semien .557 Brett Baty .599 Jorge Polanco .569 Carson Benge would love to be in the 500 club but would have to go on a hot streak to get there. (.422) Of the regulars, only Robert and Alvarez are hitting. Alvarez is batting 9th. Vientos, the other semi-regular that’s hitting, didn’t play last night. The Mets have a .665 OPS as a team, good for 20th in MLB. Yes, it’s early. You figure Lindor and Bichette will be fine. Soto will come back. But everyone else is a question mark. The guys who are struggling might improve, but it’s just as likely that the guys who are currently hitting will regress.
  17. This was still a winnable game. Mendoza has no feel for the pitching. Stayed with Senga too long. Pulled McLean too early. Hung Myers out to dry.
