Centerfield

Left hamstring tightness for Clay Holmes. Not great.

Omg. This team cannot be any worse.

Yikes. Holmes pulled with an apparent injury.

What to even say. Another pathetic offensive showing.

Opening day was 70 degrees. Since then all of our home games have been cold. Maybe our hitters don’t like the cold.

Where to start. The Mets have a real outfielder but he was on the bench. Even guarding a slim lead in the late innings, when moving Baty to 1B and removing Vientos makes all the sense in the world. Because they’re playing short handed. they’re short handed because they signed a guy who’s always hurt and now he’s hurt. But you won’t IL him because the lineup is punch less without him. all this talk of better ABs and I haven’t seen shit.

Astonishing how bad this lineup looks. Day in and day out.

Not the main story tonight, but Luis Garcia needs to be DFAd tonight.

Defense not great either.

Offense continues to be shit.

This would be a terrible loss.

My feelings on the City Connect jerseys are kinda mixed. I don't like City Connect jerseys that are a different color scheme than the team's actual colors. I think it dilutes the product (the team). Nothing is better than walking into a stadium and seeing a sea of red, or blue, or whatever color is the team's primary. But if you keep the same color scheme, then that limits your options. You get things like this Pirates jersey, or the Reds jersey, which just kinda looks like an alternate Reds uniform. Maybe I'd be more flexible on the color thing if they wore them less often. I think you have to focus on the city itself. So you remove anything that says "Pirates" or any sort of team logo. You're there to represent the city itself. And you have to figure out how to do that without looking like a cheesy airport shirt (don't just slap a picture of your tallest building), without being just a throwback jersey (using an old Negro League jersey is lame), and without being so obscure that you're constantly explaining it. And most of all, it should be a once in a while thing, not a regularly cycled alternate jersey. Maybe you have one City Connect week, or one City Connect homestand. Otherwise, you wear your traditional gear. They should be banned for the postseason, along with that stupid Strauss advertisement on the helmets.

ERod (does he go by that?) has a 0 ERA. No ER in 12 innings against the Dodgers and Braves. over his career he’s been not great.

Swing at ball 4. Ground into the DP. Pathetic effort today.

Scoring 6 here would make tonight a lot happier.

Also. Sean Manaea’s WHIP is around 1.80. So definitely not a candidate to take Peterson’s spot.

Yeah. Robert’s defense hasn’t been nearly near what was advertised.

It’s not just that he’s struggling. He looks overmatched. still. I think you have to give him 3 weeks minimum.

Well I guess if you’re not going to hit and not going to pitch and not going to catch the ball it’s best to do it all in one game.

Let’s get 3 back here.

Can’t win them all. But Peterson and the Mets don’t look competitive so far.

Peterson making it pretty clear that the problem last year wasn’t fatigue.

Get Manaea up.

Peterson not looking good. Again.

Also. Today will be the Mets 12th game of the season. They have yet to have a 7:10 pm start. I would think that has to be a record.
