    They should look to acquire batters who can get hits with the team trailing. I mean, if the team feels it needs base stealers, it can go out and get base stealers. If the team feels that it need more Home Run hitters, it can go out and get Home Run hitters. So the Mets should look to acquire batters that can hit in the clutch and hit when the team is losing. /rollseyes

    Now we know why they elected him this time around, despite him being a fringe candidate in the past. You mean he wasn't elected on the merits? I'm sad. I always liked Parker. Plus, he looked awesome in those Pirates Mizuno mix 'n match uniforms of the late 70s/early 80s. Those unis were made for him.

    Not that I have a vote, but I think that over the last two games, Juan Soto overtook Ronald Acuna, Jr, and is now the front-runner for the NL June player of the month award.

    What a crappy win. If the Mets pitching staff is gonna hurl a combined shutout, how the hell are the Mets supposed to come back from behind? Huh? What a gyp! This game felt like a loss. Maybe if Canning allowed three solo HR's in the first inning -- and then the Mets scored their four runs, this would have been a satisfying win. But no. Stupid, fucking Mets.

    Even though Soto's grounder wasn't fielded cleanly, I was certain that the Braves would get the out. I was certain even though the camera was focused on the Braves first baseman, Matt Olson, and I thus had no idea how close Soto had gotten to first base. I knew because the weak link in Soto's game is that he doesn't hustle out of the box. He just doesn't. And there's no way to sugarcoat it.

    I am so unimpressed. Yes, the Mets crushed the Braves and cruised to a victory. But the Mets took the lead from the get-go and never relinquished it. They didn't score a single run while trailing and they didn't have to come from behind. What is this shit? /rollseyes
  9. batmagadanleadoff
    I can only hope, pray really, that Senger is a clutch hitter. If not, maybe the Mets need to trade for a clutch hitter. Not merely a good hitter or even a great hitter. But a good and great hitter who can, in addition, hit in the clutch. They should trade for a wizard, too. I wonder if the Kansas City Chiefs have any good clutch hitters that they can spare? Or wizards. I'd settle for a magician.
  10. batmagadanleadoff
    (And another thing ...) Because the runs that the Mets score early on don't count as much as the runs they might score late in the game.
  11. batmagadanleadoff
    Who gives a ****? The Mets had the best record in baseball for most of this season. That means that the Mets had the most wins for most of the season. If they're not coming from behind, that means that they're usually ahead from the get-go. Because, you know, they have just about the most wins in baseball. And they're still one of baseball's very best teams, bad week and all. Give me a ****ing break already. Three of their first four hitters are MVP candidates. I'm sure every team has that going on. Again with the clutch crap.

    https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6443580/2025/06/22/mets-francisco-alvarez-optioned/ If anybody still can't figure it out yet, this is the downside to giving somebody with Brett Baty's utterly execrable track record -- one good week and a half stretch in four seasons, hundreds and hundreds of plate appearances. Because the Mets are a serious contender.

    Juan Soto is heating up. He now ranks in the NL top 10 in bWAR, offensive bWAR, OBP, Runs scored, HR's, OPS+, times on base and leads the league in walks with more than 10% the number of walks of the next closest player (Kyle Schwarber). He is a strong candidate for June player of the month award.

    =ashie62 post_id=195860 time=1750537814 user_id=90] I once saw a study that basically said when streaks, win or lose get to about six or seven the odds of it ending go exponentially higher.

    We're about halfway through June and Juan Soto, Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil are arguably among the 10 best NL hitters this month, so far. Alonso is having one of the league's best months and you can make the case that Soto's June -- he has a .508 OBP -- is even better than Alonso's. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=nl&qual=y&type=1&ind=0&startdate=2025-06-01&enddate=2025-06-17&team=0&month=1000&season1=&season=https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat≶=nl&qual=y&type=1&ind=0&startdate=2025-06-01&enddate=2025-06-17&team=0&month=1000&season1=&season=

    Wheeler finished in the top 10 in FIP in each of his last two Mets seasons and over the last half of 2019, was one of the NL's half dozen or so best pitchers. He had overcome terrible injuries to the beginning of his career and was a pitcher obviously on the rise when he signed with the Phillies after the 2019 season. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=nl&qual=y&type=8&season=2019&month=1000&season1=2019&ind=0&startdate=2019-07-01&enddate=2019-11-01&team=0&sortcol=18&sortdir=default&pagenum=1https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=pit≶=nl&qual=y&type=8&season=2019&month=1000&season1=2019&ind=0&startdate=2019-07-01&enddate=2019-11-01&team=0&sortcol=18&sortdir=default&pagenum=1

    If it's 2027, it's not nearly as big a deal as I first thought.

Funny how you had nothing to.say when he stalked and bullied me at the beginning of all of this. And that's exactly what he did to me. He deserved what he got. A treatise with footnotes and citations explaining why Brandon Nimmo was in the lineup on some particular day when Nimmo plays every day. Nimmo's a fixture in the lineup. A fixture. As much of a fixture in the lineup as Soto and Lindor and Alonso. And Strawberry and Hernandez. And I wasn't the one who chased him away. Read the thread. If it was me, he would've dug in his heels even harder as a matter of pride. And ego. "Stalked and bullied ". That's an accurate description of precisely what he did to me before any of this.

    Jacob deGrom was brilliant yesterday in handling the Nats and is presently in the top 10 in virtually every positive AL statistical pitching category.
