  1. Complete failure as a team.
  2. Just shut Manaea down and let him get the surgery. He's a liability every time he pitches.
  3. Game is already over.
  4. As a group, they are 9th in MLB in runs scored. Which I guess is ok, but going in, I think we were all hoping that this would be a top 5 offense. Pitching, the Mets are 13th overall in ERA, which I think is lower than we were hoping, but something we thought could be a possibility given the question marks going in. When you break that down, the Mets are 10th in Starter ERA, and 13th in bullpen ERA. The issue is that the Mets are 25th in IP for starters, and have the 7th highest IP for relievers.
  5. Off the top of my head: Outperforming Expectations: Nolan McLean Edwin Diaz Brooks Raley Performing at Expectations: Juan Soto Pete Alonso Francisco Lindor Francisco Alvarez (but was hurt) Jeff McNeil Brett Baty Starling Marte Luis Torrens David Peterson Clay Holmes Reed Garrett Tyler Rogers Gregory Soto Huascar Brazoban Performing Under Expectations Brandon Nimmo (slighty) Mark Vientos Luisangel Acuna Tyrone Taylor Jesse Winker (injury) Cedric Mullins Jose Siri (injury) Kodai Senga Sean Manaea Frankie Montas Griffin Canning (injury) Ryne Stanek Dedniel Nunez (injury) Ryan Helsley Danny Young AJ Minter (injury) Tylor Megill (injury) Too Early to Tell Jonah Tong Brandon Sproat Ronnie Maurico
  6. I would argue that this year's team will be far more disappointing than those teams you mention. Those teams fell short, but realistically, they had huge holes as constructed. The 2025 team is stacked with talent from top to bottom. It's disappointing that so many of these talented players are underperforming, and that they collectively seem to be less than the sum of their parts.
  7. Hopefully they do hang on for the remainder of the season.
  8. I guess the one good thing is that the Giants will spend the next 15 games playing the Diamondbacks, Dodgers and Cardinals. Arizona and St. Louis are both .500-ish teams with a slim chance to snag that 3rd WC themselves, so I guess they'll be playing for something. And LA, despite struggling lately, is still LA. But as FK mentioned in the other thread, only one of SF, CIN, STL or ARI needs to get hot. And if the Mets don't at least go .500 the rest of the way, they're likely on the outside looking in.
  9. Last night's loss was bad. Per ESPN, our playoff percentage dropped to 92.3%. It had been hovering around 96% for a long time. Three days of pain might be underselling it. They face Suarez, Sanchez and Luzardo over the next three days. Then come home to face deGrom. By the time Friday ends, they could possibly be out of a playoff spot. 2-2 might be the best we can hope for here. After deGrom they'll face: Saturday: Patrick Corbin. 4.36 ERA, 1.32 WHIP Sunday: Jacob Latz. 2.91 ERA, 1.24 WHIP Tuesday: Nick Pivetta. 2.85 ERA, 0.96 WHIP You figure they can beat Corbin, lefty or not, and you match up McLean against Latz on Sunday. Tuesday night Pivetta against Manaea is a mismatch.
  10. This is a bad loss. Pitching matchups are woes the next three days. Things could get ugly quick.
  11. We get bailed out by the Cardinals again. But lose the chance to put the Reds in the rear view mirror. It feels like this team loses every weekend. Especially Sundays.
  12. Was it a ball that should have been caught?
  13. Giants blow a 2-0 lead in the ninth. Remaining 4 back.
  14. I was thinking about that. As crazy as it was for us, think of it from the Reds standpoint. Two balls that were foul by inches. Marte striking out on ball 4. Elly going down looking. And then the crazy Acuna play. Just a devastating loss.
  15. Just saw the play at the plate. That tag has to be made. Thank god we won this game.
  16. Marlins have now dropped 4 in a row since leaving Flushing. Giants pounding the Cardinals. So we won't gain any separation tonight.
  17. That was such a huge game. I can't believe how close that was to a loss. Two balls that just went foul. That first strikeout in the ninth. The Acuna play. Luck was on our side tonight.
  18. Holy fuck. Still not calm. What a play by Acuna.
  19. No. Don't bring the infield in. Are you nuts.
  20. Christ Edwin.
  21. Frustrating game in many ways. But it all comes up roses if Edwin can hold it.
  22. Dammit. Bullshit IF hit. Let's turn 2.
  23. Dammit. I thought we were scoring there.
