    I wonder if the first responder hats will be limited to Mets players while the Yanks wear their normal ones.

    I took the West coast trip as a good time to check out for a while since I wasn't going to stay up late to watch. Had they done better in Cali, I would have checked back in, but after last night, I have no reason to believe they can pull off the miracle. Yesterday, MLB's Facebook page decided to show me the highlights from https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI201508240.shtml08/24/15 which was the game against the Phillies where the Mets hit 8 HRs and won 16-7. Those are the kind of performances that we are needing to climb back into the race and this team does not seem capable of those performances. 2015 was a case study in pitching dominating the first half of the season while waiting for the offense to arrive. Luckily it did that year, but there are too many hitters on this team that look lost and have zero sense of urgency. I feel like the 2021 team should be achieving more even with all the injuries. I have never had much faith in Rojas at managing the MLB club and that has dwindled down close to zero.

Truth.

    Disciplined approach? Like Javy Baez?

    First five game losing streak of the season...coming a week and a half after the first four game losing streak of the season. Not a good trend.

    There are keys to beating the Dodgers: NYM in 1-run games: 25-17 LAD in 1-run games: 13-21 NYM in Extra Innings: 7-3 LAD in Extra Innings: 1-12 Gotta keep them close and late.

    The Hot Corner wrote: I frustrated, exasperated, and done with Conforto. He has always been streaky and inconsistent, imho. I think he was greatly over-rated based on his one big year in the shortened 2020 season. He was an All-Star in 2017. I'd argue his only sub-par year before this one was 2016. There was nothing about Conforto's history that made me think he'd be as bad as he is in 2021. I also think he might be playing hurt. Impending free agency might do that to a guy trying to turn his shit season around.

    Man, I hope he doesn't hit a HR tonight.
  13. TransMonk
    As Keith would say, you gotta beat up on the second division teams. Phillies playing the Dodgers this week, so there could be an opportunity to make up some of what was lost over the weekend. It would be great to get some momentum before going into the LA/SF/LA/SF gauntlet coming up over the next two weeks.

    https://media0.giphy.com/media/ToMjGpKniGqRNLGBrhu/200.gif> I'm still here. I'm still watching games even though I want to bang my head against the wall. These guys aren't hitting to the back of their baseball cards. If they were, I'd feel better. I guess maybe getting swept by a surging team and falling out of first place for the first time in months should be a wake up call. IMO, these guys are good enough that they shouldn't need a one-in-a-billion catalyst to collectively get going.

    =G-Fafif post_id=73939 time=1628523493 user_id=55] The 2021 Phillies at the moment are playing like the 2015 Mets at the same time of year. The 2021 Mets are either in the role of the 2015 Nats (swept from the top of the division by their rivals for the crown) or the 2015 Marlins (roadkill for the rampaging 2015 Mets after sweeping the Nats).

    It's really hard to imagine an impetus right now. The injuries have been tough, but most teams have been battling numerous injuries this season. Save Nimmo and Pete, I'm not sure any of the bats are playing up to their potential when healthy. With nearly two-thirds of the season gone, I'm not sure how they right that ship.

    I'm not saying I think it's a good idea. But if I were a betting man making a binary choice about what the club will do...

    I saw some tweet this morning stating that this was the 4th time that the Mets were in first in the division on the morning of the deadline by 3.5+ games. 1986, 1988 and 2006 were the previous years (all first place finishes). I haven't fact checked, but it seems right. How can they not find pieces to push through the finish line if that is the case? 1986 NADA! Ed Lynch sent to Chicago a month earlier for prospects and Lee Mazzilli was picked up as a free agent a few days after 1988 NADA! Traded for Edwin Nunez and signed FA Bob McClure a couple of weeks before hand. 2006 A Night In Miami Whatever plans Omar Minaya had were scrapped when word came of Duaner Sanchez' cab ride accident. Xavier Nady was sent to Pittsburgh for pen depth in Roberto Hernandez, as well as starter Xavier Nady I just meant in general...not that those teams didn't also make moves. How could the 2021 team not find pieces? That's what I meant. *all meaningless now that the Baez deal happened anyways.

    =nymr83 post_id=72940 time=1627672837 user_id=54] McNeil doesnt move to 3rd and displace Davis against righties?
  21. TransMonk
    I have to think McNeil was part of the deal. Lindor and Baez are buddy-buddy, so maybe that factored in.

    Curious to me that the White Sox are adding multiple reinforcements and Milwaukee has not (yet), given they have nearly the same record and division lead. If I'm Milwaukee...I'd covet Kris Bryant.
