    Another throw by Louie Bobby that was neither hard nor accurate.
  2. Frayed Knot
    No, but I am all set for a Mets game!!

    It's how the fuck on Earth is this team so bad Day!! And the Mets need to recycle their bats or something cuz nuthin' else is working. Clay Homes opposes TBD, a hurler who has held the Mets to a .126 BA over the last 143 times they've faced 'him'. 7:10 EDT is the starting time as the Mets try to keep their even dozen losses from becoming a baker's dozen. Juan Soto will return and the Mets will 'manage' his playing time. And, as Clubber Lang said when asked for his prediction: "Pain" is in the forecast.

    Following the Lindor 3rd inning HR, the Mets had one hit (a single), two walks, and the last 14 batters went down in order with nothing even containing the faint whiff of a hit..
  5. Frayed Knot
    Over the last 107 innings the Mets have blanked in 91 of them, scoring 22 runs combined in the other 16 frames. So you're saying there's a chance?
  6. Frayed Knot
    Adam Warren for closer!!!!
  7. Frayed Knot
    The margin of the loss tonight might not even be close. Possibly double digits.
  8. Frayed Knot
    Aside from the 3R HR, there's been nothing even resembling a threat of adding some rack-on runs.

    Also Peterson, I just recently realized, is both the longest tenured Met AND is a FA at the end of the season. So the phrase 'make or break season' gets thrown around too much, particularly with young players, but for Peterson it really is. For him it's maybe the difference between a FA contract vs hoping for a ST invite.

    So that Braz can get out of the inning on one pitch and Weaver doesn't have to contend with an extra Up-Down! Duh!!
  11. Frayed Knot
    And more ammo gets added to the 'No third time thru the lineup' side of the argument.

    Step one: Challenge a pitch so as to turn a 1-2 count into 2-1 in your favoe Step two: Stand there with the bat on your shoulder while the net two pitches go past you for a backwards K

    Not with a Twins logo, but I was biking with a guy a couple years back who had an outfit very much along those lines. Essentially a lycra version of the above.
  14. Frayed Knot
    Twins net two runs from two (now three) baserunners. The Mets weren't quite so efficient while facing the Cubs: Game 1: Four runs via 16 on base Game 2: Two runs / 11 on base Game 3: One run / 6 on base Total: Seven runs / 33 baserunners

    Gary to get angry mail for 'causing' the end of the perfecto by mentioning it on several occasions.
  16. Frayed Knot
    Quick, call time out and stall!!

    Important spots? Pham has 8 ABs and it took three injured OFs (Soto, Young, Tauchman) and a 1B/DH just to get him that many. Taylor played a significant semi-full-time role when the team was good in 2024 and 1st half of 2025 (approx 2.5 ABs/GP) but less so so far this season (30 PA in 22 G). And Kimbrell has thrown 3.2 innings. iow, there are so many problems with what should be the Real meat of the roster, it seems beyond silly to cite the low-hanging fruit at the back of the bench as proof of poor roster construction.
  18. Frayed Knot
    I see the 'no more than one hits/inning' cap is still in effect (not in effect when Mets are on defense)
  19. Frayed Knot
    Bichette was owed one of those. As .. not good, as he's been, he hasn't had much luck on his side either.
  20. Frayed Knot
    But of those four, only Alvarez had a steady job as the season opened. Baty, on the basis of his good second half last year, was slated as a kind of semi-regular by being an all-around IF/OF/DH floater even as it left him without a set spot to call his own. Vientos was promised nothing beyond being a DH vs LHPs and only started to get more after Soto, Polanco, and Young all went down. Mauricio neither started the year with the big club nor is on it now and was up only briefly in between. So as far as reasons for 'What's wrong with them', a planned over-reliance on this quartet is way down the list of high crimes or misdemeanors.

    And neither have the holdovers. Also, oddly, neither have the cast-offs from this winter (except for Nimmo) which raises the question if they'd any better off even if they opted to just keep the band together. JMcN = 92 OPS+ (career = 116 OPS+); Pete = 94 (134); Diaz = 10.50 ERA (2.86); Zimmo = 170 (125)
  22. Frayed Knot
    Well the Rockies figured out how to not only score against the Dodgers (OK, the series was in Denver, but still ...) and even how to win as they took two of three this weekend [1-7, 4-3, 9-6] from the defending champs. Edwin Diaz did his part as he came in for the 8th inning of what was then a one run COL lead but never recorded an out [1B, SB, Bunt 1B, 1B] and wound up being charged by three earned. This now pushes Sugar's season ERA up to 10.50 through 7 games/6 innings.
  23. Frayed Knot
    Runs scored during the streak: 2, 1, 0, 6*, 0, 0, 1, 2, 4, 2, 1 Ain't gonna win shit that way! * the day they gave up 11
  24. Frayed Knot
    And this one goes to Eleven

    How can a guy with a name like Caleb Thielbar spend ten seasons in the majors (eight w/MIN and now his 2nd with the Cubs) and I've never heard of him?
