    Bases loaded, 3-1 count, and Taylor watches it. And then the former batting champion fails again. Pathetic.

    Perhaps the Mets should have added a MI today instead of another RP.

    In news that everyone can agree on, Angel Hernandez is retiring on Tuesday: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2024/05/27/angel-hernandez-retires-mlb-umpire-stats/73873676007/https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2024/05/27/angel-hernandez-retires-mlb-umpire-stats/73873676007/

    Let's play two! The Dodgers have "tweaked" their rotation to match Tyler Glasnow against Tylor Megill just be funny and give the announcers something to talk about. Glasnow pitched 8 shutout innings against the Mets on April 21st but the Dodgers have lost 5 straight and the Mets have won one straight, so I'm not worried. LAD is a 1 1/2 run favorite and the O/U is 8 1/2 runs. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/dodgers-vs-mets/2024/05/28/745818/previewhttps://www.mlb.com/gameday/dodgers-vs-mets/2024/05/28/745818/preview

    It WAS on the schedule. Today's game has been banged. There will be a single admission doubleheader tomorrow beginning at 4:10 PM. Enjoy your day.
  7. bmfc1
    Wednesday's game is at 4:10 so if they are going to have a split doubleheader it has to be tomorrow (not that I'm advocating for a split-DH, they shouldn't be allowed, but the poor owners need their gate revenue).

    Joey Wendle was DFA'd by the Braves which means they had just enough time to get him to tell secrets about the Mets organization.
  9. bmfc1
    This only makes sense if either Pablo (not Jose) Reyes, Jose Iglesias, or Rylan Bannon joins the team. Lindor's eventually going to need a day off.

    We celebrated Lag B'Omer... the "B" stands for Bader.

    Best wishes to everyone on Memorial Day. A recent column in The Washington Post argues that Memorial Day should be moved to July 3rd: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/05/22/memorial-day-federal-holiday-overhaul/https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/05/22/memorial-day-federal-holiday-overhaul/ When you think "Mets and Dodgers" you think "Tylor Megill and Gavin Stone". That's the matchup. The Dodgers are cold. The Mets are not having won their last game and that's what counts. Stone only lasted 3 1/3 against the Mets on April 20th, giving up 2 ER while walking 5 (the Mets won 6-4). https://www.mlb.com/gameday/dodgers-vs-mets/2024/05/27/745816/previewhttps://www.mlb.com/gameday/dodgers-vs-mets/2024/05/27/745816/preview

    If you challenge a call and you're wrong, and it's determined that it's a stupid challenge, any player on the opposing team gets to slap the manager who asked for the challenge as punishment for wasting our time.
  13. bmfc1
    Nido with a stupid play when there are two outs and you are inept at your job. Everything you need to know about Narvaez is this: he doesn't start over Nido who should be in AA (for another team). "Run prevention" my butt.

    If Gary says "The sun is out" I'm gonna puke. Can one of us say it? The sun is out! Gary said it yesterday to open and close the game to tell us to keep our chins up and I told him to STFU.
  15. bmfc1
    To be fair to the City Connects, it's not like they are winning a lot in any of the uniforms.
  16. bmfc1
    =Gwreck post_id=156662 time=1716734471 user_id=56] Have they won a single game in these uniforms?

    Sean Manaea v Logan Webb. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/giants-vs-mets/2024/05/26/745824/previewhttps://www.mlb.com/gameday/giants-vs-mets/2024/05/26/745824/preview JD Stewart starts in RF with Manaea, LH, on the mound. That doesn't sound good. Vientos sits again because Baty hit a HR yesterday (Baty is 0 for 5 against Webb). The Mets are a 1.5 run underdog and the O/U is 7.5. If Gary says "The sun is out" I'm gonna puke.

    Joey Wendle signs with the Braves making him the 3d Mets backup MI to become a Brave this year (Guillorme, Short, Wendle).

    WBC '26

    bmfc1 posted a topic in New York Mets Talk

    If any Mets are invited I hope that they decline. F the WBC (I'll be fine with it if the Mets aren't involved b/c it doesn't do anything good for the Mets and that's all I care about). https://www.mlb.com/news/world-baseball-classic-2026-host-sites-announcedhttps://www.mlb.com/news/world-baseball-classic-2026-host-sites-announced

    [bLOCKQUOTE]The Mets either need to lose an outfielder/DH or a pitcher. [/bLOCKQUOTE] Yes, exactly... but losing a pitcher feels fanciful these days, especially if they are going to a 6-man rotation (otherwise, you could excise Houser unless he's a placeholder for Peterson). Narvaez--yeesh, but if you don't have another catcher there will be even more passed balls. Vientos/Baty Stewart Taylor. Taylor is good if you need a modicum of speed and he's a better OF than McNeil and Stewart. Stewart can't field and JDM makes him superfluous as a DH. Plus, he's a LH as is Baty as is Narvaez. He's a decent hitter so it's nice to have him around but how? Unless you are making Vientos the full-time 3B ("but what about Baty's confidence?") then Stewart should go (he has a minor league option) and then you add Jose Iglesias to the roster.
  21. bmfc1
    Joey Wendle with a well-deserved start.
  22. bmfc1
    =Gwreck post_id=155230 time=1715661058 user_id=56] There's a real roster/bench management problem here when the Mets have no viable options in the 10th inning. Burning 2 players to hit for Baty is a real problem. If Baty can't be trusted to hit in a big spot, he can't start. Not with Wendle and Nido and Narvaez holding down unproductive spots on the roster.
  23. bmfc1
    [bLOCKQUOTE]Bench and roster construction leaves something to be desired with 3 players who can't hit and a bunch of extra DHes.[/bLOCKQUOTE] Right. When you pinch-run w/DJ Stewart, then yes, there is an issue with roster construction. JDM is a DH-only which is fine b/c he's a good hitter but it clogs up a spot that is mostly used elsewhere for players getting a half day off. If you have one DH you don't need a 2d and Stewart is also a DH-only (they can only play him in the OF and you pray the ball doesn't get hit to him as it did last Tuesday in St. Louis). Wendle, Stewart, and Narvaez are all LH, making for an lopsided bench. Also, Narvaez can't hit or catch (but he's the 11th highest-paid C in MLB), Stewart can't field, and Wendle does nothing productive.
  24. bmfc1
    Is there anything that Wendle can do well?
