  1. Meh. One run. Needed more.
  2. Wheeler staying in. Bases loaded. Ewing up. Big spot here.
  3. Considering Baty, Alvarez and Vientos are all terrible, Tong is lost, McLean struggled, and our “successes” have an OPS in the low .700s I’d say player development is one of the biggest failures of 2026.
  4. Sure. The pitching matchup sucks again. But once in a while a shitty pitcher figures it out for a day. Balls find gloves. And some bloopers fall in for the offense. That could happen today. And if that happens 11 more times in a row then we could find ourselves right back in the thick of things.
  5. Yes. Baty has been a big disappointment. But so are Vientos, Alvarez and Mauricio. Ewing and Benge are considered promising, but both have an OPS in the low .700s. At some point we have to focus on the failures of player development over the success or failure of any one player.
  6. I’ll give it the top of the 3rd. If they don’t show life I’m likely out for the night.
  7. Plays not made. That foul ball has to be caught. That relay has to be turned. Please stop with the Semien defense bullshit.
  8. How is a ball hit that high not caught.
  9. Or it could be just another loss. I hate the Peralta is always behind. Hate even more that Smoltz knows it.
  10. If they win tonight, it can be the one that turns the season around.
  11. If we’re looking for positives, the Phillies offense hasn’t been much better than the Mets (27th in MLB) and worse than the Mets in May and June. Maybe we’re 0-0 going into the late innings and the bullpens decide it.
  12. Five games under .500 is our high water mark since the losing streak. We hit that May 18 when we won the extra inning game in Washington. Since then the closest we’ve come is 7 games. We sit 7 games under today. This will be our 7 chance to get back to 6 games under (we lost the prior 6). Today we face the second best pitcher in MLB. And he throws with his left hand. The good news is, since his scoreless streak ended, he’s given up 1 run, then 2 runs, then 4 runs. So he’s clearly on the decline. Need Freddy to step up today.
  13. Deeper dive. The Mets OPS was .681 in May. Good for 19th in MLB. So the Mets haven’t been the worst scoring team in baseball for a while, it’s just that their performance in April was so bad (last by a lot) that they’ve remained at or near the cellar since. Let’s assume that Lindor returns and no one else gets hurt (a totally safe assumption, I know). Maybe that boosts the offense to league average? Couple that with a pitching staff ranked 9th in ERA and maybe you get a team that performs slightly better than .500. And that’s not good enough to dig out of the hole they are in. Still. Baseball is weird and you never know.
  14. Yes. But the Mets have a .731 OPS for June. Good for 20th in MLB. While that is better than dead Fucking last it’s no where near good enough for a sustained run.
  15. Tough matchups the next two days. Find a way to get one.
  16. The only hard hit ball in the 9th was the last out.
  17. Luke Weaver is awesome. Love the swagger.
  18. Also. This is the first time I can remember sitting down to watch the game and seeing them leading!
  19. Had a bad feeling after the leadoff walk. Great job by Brazo and Minter.
