    I fear they'll be teeing (Eickh) off on Met pitching tonight. 8 2/3 innings of bullpen the day after their two best relievers combined to give up 9 runs to the worst-hitting team in baseball means that there's no margin for error. Unless there's a strong lengthy start, this could get a little ugly. And tomorrow's pitcher is TBD. So not a good place to be in for the Metsies. Hope they're working the phones in the front office.

    Let's hope it's not a Great American Shaming.

    At least they're not a tough team like the Pirates.

    I'm not watching. I need to detatch after last night.

    Good job, Tylor. Have a seat and hope the pen doesn't blow it.

    Need to pick up a starter fast or this is going to get away from them.

    Nimmo brain fart there. That's a lazy fly ball, no reason to be caught that far off..

    Miserable performance. Thorne actually refererred to the Mets as the Orioles once, which I thought was kind of funny. 0-12 with RISP says it all. This team needs a cattle prod.

    Meh. Hate them. Always have. Always will. Black is not a Met color.

    =metsmarathon post_id=71225 time=1626177623 user_id=83] yeah, it would've been a better show if he didn't express any sense of fun, confidence, or fan engagement, and just went out there like he was turning screws in a factory. bored. apathetic. almost annoyed that he has to do this thing instead of heading down to he fishing hole with a brew in his hand. that's what we all would tune in to watch. i thought it was fantastic, and i'll wager you'd be hard pressed to find anyone on the field last night, especially any of the competitors, who was offended or otherwise bothered by his approach last night. the pause in the second round was sublime. i wish he would have run up the foul line and high-fived the fans afterwards.

    I'm glad Pete won, but he was kind of a dick about the whole thing. The head-bobbing, the waves to the crowd, taking his time when he knew he had it in the bag. Pete, I love ya, but......

    I worry that a bad stretch could doom this team. In August they play the Giants and Dodgers for 13 straight games, both there and here. That could make or break them. I'm all in on Jon Gray. And they definitely need someone else for the bullpen. I'm expecting Carrasco to give them little and Syndergaard to give them nothing. And I don't like TBD to be the next day's pitcher. I'd be less concerned about the offense if Michael Conforto would wake the F up and Francisco Lindor could play to the back of his baseball card. Don't know where any bat they would get would play. JD Davis will be back after the break, which is great for the offense but problematic for the defense. They have to make a move. If they don't, I fear they'll fade in the stretch run. The Yankees may suck, but they'd only be a game and a half behind the Mets if they were in the same division.

    https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tKFMU-vrL._SL500_.jpg> So it's the All-Star break, and we're 87 games into the season, 6 games into SHaMs. They're 47-40, 3 1/2 games up. How are you feeling? They've been the beneficiary of a division that's spinning its wheels. The Nats were charging hard but have fallen back. The Braves are mediocre and have lost Acuna for the season. The Phillies are, well, the Phillies. Met pitching has been well above average and their offense has been well below average (4th in ERA, 29th in runs scored). Somehow they've managed to scratch out that record. How will they finish the year? Is a 2021 version of a Cespedes deal coming? Do they stand pat and hope that recent trends continue? Do they burn the minor-league system for a rental? Do they do something in between? Inquiring minds want to know.

    A bad, bad loss. Offensive brownout, every pitcher left in one batter too long, and on and on.
  18. Lefty Specialist
    This just reinforces that they HAVE to get another starter. They can't have games like this. And you can't count on Carrasco and Thor to save you.
  19. Lefty Specialist
    Just brutal.

    Ugh. Pirates just seem to want it more than the Mets today.
