wtf. Cut Semien.

This team looks like shit. Absolute shit.

Maybe Meatloaf was wrong

A hit! A run! What is this madness.

Continuing the conversation from the St. Louis IGT. As Gwreck said, Semien still provides value with his glove. 3.3 WAR in 2025, despite just a .669 OPS. That being said, you have to wonder if we can even get a repeat of that. He has a -0.1 WAR so far (I know, meaningless sample size). But if you look at how he's trending, it's not at all a given we'll get a 3 win player, or anything close to that. 2024: 4.5 WAR. .699 OPS 2025: 3.3 WAR. .669 OPS (Second half 2025: .593 OPS) Spring Training 2026: .649 OPS (46 PA) 2026: .390 OPS (25 PA) His Baseball Savant page is ugly. Marcus Semien Stats: Statcast, Visuals & Advanced Metrics | baseballsavant.com His bat speed is in the 5th percentile. It's dropped from 13th% in 2023, 9% in 2024, 8% in 2025 to now 5%. For what it's worth, the projections were relatively high on him prior to the season. Steamer: .703 OPS, 2.5 WAR ZiPS: .696 OPS, 2.8 WAR BBR: .715 OPS. I was kinda hoping taking him out of Texas would help his offensive numbers. Texas has almost inexplicably bad home offensive numbers. And that may still be the case. I guess we'll see how this plays out. I'm on record predicting he will be a defensive replacement by the end of the season. Hope I'm wrong.

Stearns gamble was 3 years of Semien would be less bad than 5 of Nimmo. Hard to look worse than Semien right now.

Fire Mendy. Some might say it’s too early. I say it’s 6 months too late.

This team sucks. Marcus Semien is worthless

My gamecast said he doubled to SS.

Matthew Liberatore is perfect in his first time through the lineup. Come on offense. Wake up.

Wonder if they get this one in.

The Mets offense has been sleeping 3 of their 5 games. Not great last night either.

Especially in a 2-0 game.

Are you fucking kidding me. Lovelady?

Baty should have hit for Semien.

Especially since Polanco can’t play the field.

I don’t get letting Jared Young hit then pinch hitting for Vientos.

Baty should have been batting there.

Fucking terrible. Can we stop with the Jared Young nonsense.

2 on. 4-5-6 coming up. Wish that didn’t include Jared Young and Vientos.

Really? 5 scoreless against this scrub? This offense is frustrating.

Should be able to hit Cards pitching. Lots of game left.

Like FK said, it felt like the Mets should have been leading by a lot more. At the same time, it never felt like STL was going to come back. Good win!

Semien looks shot.
