    So I'm pointlessly wondering. Does Luis Robert make that catch? He knows the park well and is a competent outfielder with speed. And he's 4 inches taller than AJ Ewing. Like I said, pointlessly wondering.
  2. Lefty Specialist
    Nuts crushed.
  3. Lefty Specialist
    Foof. Setting themselves up for the nut-crushing loss.
  4. Lefty Specialist
    They adjust to you, and you adjust to them. Been going on for 150 years. I'm confident Ewing will figure it out, and yeah, he's only 21. Alvarez is another problem though. He's had plenty of major league time and he seems to keep getting into bad habits, like swinging at pitches up in his eyes and down and away. He seemed to figure it out for a bit, but he's back to his free-swinging ways.
  5. Lefty Specialist
    So I'm thinking that Torrens needs to be the starter and Alvarez needs to be the backup.

    1. I'd give it a zero if I could. Last night he did it on a strikeout-that-wasn't-a-strikeout. Oh, then he gave up a game-losing home run. Pitchers can be demonstrative, but this is waaaaay over the line. And he's not that good; how about being a better pitcher instead of being a buffoon? Maybe he can learn that in Syracuse, which I expect is where he'll be headed shortly. And no, I'm not against celebrating. Pitchers can pump their fists and scream. Batters can flip bats and do celebrations when they hit a dinger. But Yan is cartoonish. Say you're down 8-1 in the 9th and Yan does that after a meaningless strikeout. Does it pump you up? Or is it just ridiculous?
  7. Lefty Specialist
    Nice catch, saved 4 runs.
  8. Lefty Specialist
    So he walks the first two batters and you swing at the first pitch?
  9. Lefty Specialist
    I like a Polanco-less lineup. A Semien-less lineup would be even better butcha can't have everything.
  10. Lefty Specialist
    Pleeeeeeeeease sit Jorge Polanco down. He's hopeless.
  11. Lefty Specialist
    Jefry Yan no longer amuses me.
  12. Lefty Specialist
    Jeez, throw strikes. One run can't beat you.
  13. Lefty Specialist
    Senga on for the save. I be nervous. That extra run was nice, however.
  14. Lefty Specialist
    Hanging on by their fingernails.
  15. Lefty Specialist
    Well, at least we're got Weaver Brazoban Raley Minter to pitch the 8th....oh,wait
  16. Lefty Specialist
    Seven runs will not be enough to win this game.
  17. Lefty Specialist
    I've been posting less because this team has been just so bloody hard to watch. I'm sure that's the case for a lot of people.
  18. Lefty Specialist
    Well, they have nothing to lose by trying Senga as closer. Other than a couple of games on bases-loaded walks, I guess.
  19. Lefty Specialist
    Mrs Lefty says, "if they trade Lindor, I'm out". She's not happy about all the rumblings. With the material they have to trade, I don't see how they get anything decent or helpful back. You'd be selling low on virtually everybody.
  20. Lefty Specialist
    Epic fail.
  21. Lefty Specialist
    Bases loaded, no out. How will they avoid scoring?
  22. Lefty Specialist
    Welp, it was overdue but it won't change things. This was always a flawed roster. Andy Green isn't going to be able to do much more with it than Carlos Mendoza did. They do, however, seem to be sleepwalking right now.
  23. Lefty Specialist
    Kind of amazing no one's been fired yet. But this team was put together, like so many Mets teams have, on a bunch of 'ifs'. If they stay healthy and have good seasons we'll be in the thick of it. (Polanco, Senga) If he bounces back to his old form (Roberts, Manaea, Semien).... If they're not as bad as they seemed last year (Peterson, Vientos) If they just play up to the back of their baseball card (Soto, Lindor, Bichette, Peralta) These were all 'ifs' calculated by the POBO. They all pretty much went south. So it's on him. I think for Uncle Steve, this year is a sunk cost. They're not turning it around, that's obvious. So sell off what parts you can and Roto-Rooter the whole organization this winter. There may not be baseball in 2027 anyway, which may be a blessing in disguise for this team.

    Always nice to take a series from the Braves and cut their lead to a mere 14 games.

    Attended today in Section 414. It was, as Buster Poindexter liked to say, Hot, Hot, Hot. Ball was flying , as the 5 HR's would indicate. Getting blown out in the previous two games meant the good part of the bullpen was fresh. Soto kind of Cadillac-ed it around the bases on his homer, but that's why you pay him $51 million a year, I guess. And the Mets soccer jersey was cool. It's even adult-sized, unlike many things they give away. Attendance was sparse (school not out yet, a day game during the week, and did I mention Hot. hot, hot?) But a good day all around.
