Jakes lifetime numbers are similar to Strasburg Can deGrom say no to surgery and get paid something? He won't say no but geez doesn't he know he's about finished?

Max Headroom vs Morton Salt

It's not a must win, but losing this series is not really an option today. I don't want the Mets to become a "You are your record team" 30-31 You are never as good or bad as you look is true. Can we see some of the "as good as you are" part of this. There are a good number of underperforming Mets players that it's difficult to single anyone out. They do know who they are however Scherzer has to succeed in the role of a stopper, that's why he is here

This team is just not very good. With more than a third of the season down, they are closer to the division basement than to first place, and find themselves looking up at teams such as Pittsburgh and San Francisco. I keep waiting for them to go on a tear, but I'm not sure they have a "ten wins in twelve games" type of stretch in them. Could've been even worse. Had the Mets signed both deGrom and Trevor Bauer, they probably wouldn't have either Scherzer or Verlander right now. They kinda got lucky there, in hindsight. Good point, hard to see in the moment

They have started and we are off

Or 10 even Certainly hoping for earlier

Weather delay Bad weather coming in

Game time Let the fun begin

The Texas Rangers did not, could not insure the contract? Source is the local abc sports guy

Mauricio got hurt. He was "blocking" second on a steal attempt and he sprained his ankle. He walked off on his but who knows

Wow. Everything the Texas Rangers touch turns to dust

Elder leads MLB in ERA Acuna is working on his career year Riley is in a deep funk but he usually wakes up for the Mets

Bryce Elder is good Arcia is at SS Albies 2b And Harris at CF tonight (who's on first) I am misunderstanding

The Reds call up heralded prospect Elly De La Cruz

Las Vegas legislature adjorns without vote The have projected all home games as sellouts KC at LV on a Tuesday even

He has thrown some bullpens and a fresh MRI is scheduled Jake is a month away so yes put him him on the 60 il Rangers fans are sick about this and I do understand The Rangers hit, all of them

The Hot Corner wrote: This time really needs some shaking up. I am starting to think last season was a mirage, where everything gelled and fell into place (at least until late September). The loss of Diaz has been huge and has had a dominoe effect on the bullpen, but that alone can not account for the Mets lackluster performance. The offense just has not been sufficient (even with the addition of Alvarez and Baty) for the majority of the season. The loss of Diaz completely changes the bullpen dynamic, but not much can be done about that right now. The offense really needs a boost. I would send Vientos back down and give Mauricio a shot. He could spell Lindor (who definitely could use a day or two off) as well as take some at bats at DH. I'm not sure there is an answer to the pitching other Max and Verlander both turning back the clock. Unfortunately, even that isn't likely to make enough difference. Senga needs more consistency (and he needs to stop walking so many hitters). Then there is the lack of quality innings from Megill and Peterson. They just haven't provided the rotation depth that is needed for a team to be successful. The failure of the starting rotation to reasonably go 6-7 innings has caused overworking of the bullpen, which lacks the depth to pitch 4 or more innings on a regular basis. All successful teams gel at some point and hopefully the Mets will before 2023 ends They brought up three kids. Alvarez is a future all star. Baty is struggling, Vientos just got here so who knows I would play Vientos everyday and find out once and for all if he is the goods or more a 4A type Mauricio is learning 2b and probably needs more time in AAA It seems easier to find available options to jump start an offense rather than a pitching staff, on an internal basis anyway I don't see Canha Pham and Vogelbach all remaining Mets after the trade deadline. I would be surprised if they didn't go for a top line SP rental or better. I am not thinking about Ohtani, yet LGM

Somewhere for a bullpen arm Nido is possibly the best backup catcher out there. There will be demand He has been a good Met

Fondly remembered

Fans also

17 days later and even This is about the time last season the Phillies made big changes and ran it to the series Buck is not going anywhere but I don't sense much energy or urgency coming from the guy LGM

Out with a whimper 30-30

Alejandro Kirk is enormous

You made a funny

Jays have a better bullpen than us
