Swing the fucking bat Soto. Wtf. -
Normally I agree with you. But nothing from Manaea suggests he should have stayed in. Was gassed. Getting hit hard. Track record of hitting a wall.
-
Pull him. You can't let him give up the lead

=Centerfield post_id=202438 time=1756258855 user_id=65] Would have given Rogers the 8th.

PULL HIM.

Pull Brazoban. Omg.
-
Well. Wtf do I know.
-
That's the right move to pull Manaea here.
-
Mendy should have someone up and getting warm.
-
Dammit. Some bad luck that inning. A few hard hit balls. Luzardo looking tough.
-
Anything other than a sweep is fine for Philadelphia. If they lose three in a row, then maybe it becomes something. Tonight is a BIG GAME.
-
The closest they’ve come was the May 23 game against LA, scoring 3 in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game and force extras (losing in the 13th). Yup. That was an incredibly frustrating game. Torrens needed to put the ball in play to win it. There was one more game. I think it was the Sunday game in KC? Where McNeil tied it in the ninth. Then they lost in the bottom of that frame.

I was thinking last night how many times we've been on the wrong side of last night's game. Score some runs early, then the offense goes to sleep. Defensive miscue leads to a run. Starter falls apart in the middle innings, bullpen implodes and we lose a laugher. Their scrub 9 place hitter goes off.
-
That felt like two different games. The Mets couldn't buy a hit early. The Phillies threatened every inning. Then everything changed just like that.
-
If Helsley is good…
-
I guess it doesn't matter!
-
Nimmo should be on third.
-
Vientos doesn't seem like he's even the same player. Completely different hitter.
-
So glad to see Vientos hitting again. I guess this is a thing these days. I saw Michael Harris was having a similar resurgence in Atlanta.

How brilliant was it to promote McLean when they did?
Centerfield replied to roger_that's topic in New York Mets Talk
I think it's impossible to know if it was the right time to call up a particular player when it comes to that player's development. But as far as a team in contention is concerned I think it would be far fetched to argue that the team couldn't have used McLean, even a lesser version of him, during the losing streak in June. McLean said he got better against lefties in his recent starts. Would he have not made that progress pitching in the bigs? I don't see how anyone can know the answer to that. As far as Jonah Tong, I can't figure out how he's that good. The clips I'm seeing of him shows a lot of swing and miss on his fastball, and a decent change up. Hopefully that can translate to the big leagues, but who knows. -
I remember trading for him in 2024 and wondering what Stearns saw in this guy. And then he sucked and got hurt and you figure that's the last we'll see of him. And then his spine starts leaking fluid and I was sure that's the last we'll ever see of him. And then astonishingly he's tendered a contract by Stearns. $4M that could have gone to re-sign Jose Quintana. And then he finally came off the IL and pitched one good game against LA, then absolutely sucked every time he pitched after that. He was the one that started the avalanche in that June 13 game against Tampa. He started three games in that miserable losing streak in June and sucked in all of them. You wonder how many of those games the Mets might have won if he simply didn't exist. Even Austin Warren or Chris Devenski would have given us a better chance. I'm shocked that the Yankees signed him and ran him out there. I don't see how this guy has a job.

For reference, in 2024, they had 8 wins where they came back in the 9th inning, which led MLB. In 2025, the Mets are one of 3 teams with no 9th inning comeback wins (Baltimore and CWS are the others). The Dodgers have 4, Milwaukee has 4, Philadelphia has 3, SDP and Cubs have 2 each. The Reds have 3. The NL leader is, of course, the Colorado Rockies. Just like everyone expected. They have 6.

Blackburn giving up 7 runs for the MFYs gives me an incredible sense of satisfaction.
-
Helsley has a straight fastball and a nothing slider. I can't even picture him being good.
