Not all those who wander are suero

The Syracuse Mets' final homestand is next week. I hope to attend Tuesday and/or Thursday depending on the weather. As per Gary, though, Alvarez is likely to get called up tomorrow for the Reds series. He hit a grand slam yesterday for the AAA Mets in a road game. Acuna and Sproat also on the MLB roster, or facing impending call ups, meaning most of the most prominent 2025 Syracuse Mets are in the bigs at this point.

Brandon Sproat starting in Cincy
Fman99 replied to Marshmallowmilkshake's topic in New York Mets Talk
We've watched him all year at Syracuse. He's got the goods. Tong and McLean have set the bar high for him ! I love that the MLB teams don't really have a book on any of these kids yet. I feel like historically the Mets have only been on the receiving end of being stymied by young call ups. -
At least we know whose fault it is that the Mets lost. If you start an IGT and they win, do your job ! Also it's really Ryan Helsley's fault, for sucking big rocks.
-
There's no way he should have been pitching in any game where the difference in runs is less than 5-6 in either direction. The only thing he has to justify being used in a close game is what they gave up to acquire him. He's been dreadful as a Met - specifically of late, earned runs allowed in 7 of his last 10 appearances. Two of the three games in which he didn't give up an earned runs were ones the team won by ten runs.

Man, **** Ryan Helsley.
-
Some good hitting and baserunning here by Vientos and Soto to plate that run.
-
I love Sunday night Mets games. Except for the ESPN broadcast which is abysmal. Holmes getting the hook here after his normal parade of free passes.
-
Oh good I was looking for more reasons to hate guys who wore that uniform, this works out nice for me.
-
This makes sense to me - we've seen Alvarez and Vientos both struggle to put together successful seasons consecutively (though Vientos is finally making his case in August).

The one guy not wearing big stupid oven mitts on the bases

Expansion and Realignment (split from Aug 17 IGT)

I'm sure that whatever he comes up with it'll be a colossal butt **** to baseball fans. -
Short for damn ****ing awful I reckon. He dominated here in Syracuse. Like it matters tho
-
I think I've seen him 3-4 times this year here in the Cuse. He's got the stuff. I am hopeful.

It is the greatest music concert film ever made and I won't hear arguments to the contrary. I'm a huge fan of the Band and even having listened to many different renditions of these songs, the ones in this movie are very often the best versions. I play a number of these songs at my gigs when I can squeeze them in.
-
This is my fault I suppose.
-
So the Mets are good again? Ok cool
-
Glad that I was able to see it happen live on TV. I've missed much of the last two weeks due to terribleness.
-
Happened to catch both McLean's start Tuesday and Sproat's yesterday here in Syracuse. Sproat fell flat a bit in the 6th but he cruised through the first five. McLean was lights out the other day.
-
Benny Agbayani never hit more than 15 home runs in a season.
-
They have this as a themed team name once per season when they play against the Rochester Garbage Plates. They have all kinds of salt potato merch already for sale in the gift shop. It's cutesy poo but I think they likely keep this as a once per summer mascot and go with something else more permanent for the rest of the season.
-
There are only two other AAA teams currently that have the same team nickname as their parent club (the Iowa Mets and Worcester Red Sox), so perhaps this was inevitable. I hate the cutesy poo two word nicknames, the same as I hate the Savannnah ****ing Bananas and messages on a scoreboard telling me when to cheer. I just like baseball. I did submit a nickname choice, the Syracuse Crows. It's kind of a thing up here.
-
The Syracuse Mets have announced that after 2026 they will be renamed and fans will have an opportunity to help pick the name. I hope we can come up with something less terrible than the ****ing Rumble Ponies at least. As a Mets fan, and a Syracuse Mets fan, I hate this. But I suspect 3/4 of the local baseball fans will be happy about it.
-
Thought this too, about both of them. Ultimately I think my lasting memory of him will be his teary goodbyes in the bullpen when he found out about the trade, more than anything he did on the field.
-
I prefer this trade to any for Luis Robert Jr. that would have cost a Met that I heard of, or liked. These guys they gave up ? They are unknown to me
