    Hopefully, McLean can pitch a shut out so we have a chance at a victory.
  2. The Hot Corner
    Tommie Agee took Jim Palmer deep in the 1969 World Series.

    From most accounts I have seen, Konnor Griffin was considered the best prospect in all of baseball and the consensus was that it was by a wide margin. He is huge for a shortstop and has prodigious power. It will be interesting to see how he does.
  4. The Hot Corner
    I am not too worried about Bichette. I expect he will hit, as he has practically his entire career. I think Polanco will be okay, not great, but okay. Semien appears to be good defensively, but offensively he appears to be

    Lindor also was picked off 1st base so badly that he didn't even make an attempt to return to the bag. He just froze and was tagged out. This team needs to wake up and get their act together.
  6. The Hot Corner
    You have to remember that much of their early offensive production on opening day against Skenes was primarily due to poor defense by Oneil Cruz. First he misplayed a fly ball by Baty that should have been caught into a "triple" to allow 3 runs. Had Cruz simply caught Baty's rather routine fly ball, the Mets would not have scored Soto from third on a sac fly. Then he whiffed on a routine fly that he lost in the sun. Had Cruz made to routine catches that a MLB CF should make, the Mets would have scored one run (rather than 5) and Skenes would have escaped the 1st inning with a 2-1 lead. Since that first game in which they were essentially gifted 4 runs and an very early exit by Skenes, the Mets have scored 10 runs in 50 innings.

    Top of the order for the Mets. Time to wake up the bats and score some. At least Soto gets a plate appearance, which is good since he pretty much is the offense.
  8. The Hot Corner
    During last night's broadcast he said he had a "bulging disc" in his back causing leg weekness & pain.
  9. The Hot Corner
    Good call by Zeile stating that the best time to run on Stanek is when he is ahead in the count because he often throws the splitter in the dirt. Next pitch with 1-2 count Stanek bounces a splitter. In the dirt. Meanwhile, Semien strikes out. Alvarez gets 1st on catchers interference. Robert now in scoring position. The Mets need a hero here to drive him in and break this deadlock.
  10. The Hot Corner
    The Cardinals quickly tie it up in the bottom of the inning. Still threatening to take the lead.
  11. The Hot Corner
    The Mets offense is really pathetic. Gary calls a HR by Soto one pitch before he hits a sky scraper in the RF corner. Mets 1 Cardinals 0 in the top of the 6th
  12. The Hot Corner
    In all seriousness. The good news is that Senga pitched pretty well, which is encouraging. The bad news is that the offense was pretty bad. I like that this team does not seem to srike out as much as previous Mets teams*, but a lot of weak contact as a team. *=I realize it is a small sample (5 games), but this line up tends to take pitches and make contact more regularly than last years team.
  13. The Hot Corner
    Why, can he hit?
  14. The Hot Corner
    Senga returning to 2023 form (or at least being a solid #3) starter will greatly boost the Mets playoff chances. He has a lot of talent, but has proven to be very fragile. Hoping this is the start of a good, healthy season for Senga.
  15. The Hot Corner
    We have to hope that Vientos can regain his form and provide some much needed power to the line up. If he does, he will provide real value a DH vs. lefties/RH pinch hitter off the bench/spot starter at 3rd base (& possibly first base).
  16. The Hot Corner
    I am not too concerned about Bichette's bat. In six seasons he has hit .290 or better 5 times. The hits will come, the defense will likely be a season long work in progress.
  17. The Hot Corner
    They traded (or let walk) several long-term Mets (Alonso, Diaz, Nimmo, & McNeil) who were popular with the fan base. I think some of the fan base may have a wait and see attitude regarding the newly revamped Mets roster. If the Mets play well and win, the fans will turn out.
  18. The Hot Corner
    I like this move. Pham offers insurance should the current core of OF suffer injuries or just fail to produce.
  19. The Hot Corner
    Jett suffered a left quad injury while legging out a triple and missed 2 weeks of spring training. He has recovered and will open the season for the Brewers Triple A affiliate in Nashville. The Brewers are focusing his development primarily at shortstop. Live long and propser, young Jett.
  20. The Hot Corner
    I was thinking 88 or 89 wins, when I initially saw the thread title.
  21. The Hot Corner
    I thought he might be a usable 4th outfielder/LH bat of the bench. Tough break for both the Mets and Tauchman.
  22. The Hot Corner
    As Cooby suggested, dark mode is much easier on the eyes and there is a definite division between each posts.
  23. The Hot Corner
    If Tauchman does not make the MLB roster, I believe he can opt out of his contract and become become a free agent. Keeping him definitely provides some insurance should Benge struggle at the MLB level. Tauchman has been a pleasant surprise (at least to me) thus far and Benge has looked solid. Benge is clearly the long-term answer, but the team could do worse than keeping both of them.
  24. The Hot Corner
    Hell, if you don't turn off the profanity filter, half of Fman99's post will be *****. We will miss out on his profane wisdom. Don't ever change Fman, we love yoa.
  25. The Hot Corner
    Very encouraging that Lindor played 4 innings at shortstop in today's game against the Blue Jays. Went 1-3 and pulled a 390 foot foul ball down the RF line. No pain experienced. All excellent news. Hopefully, he continues to keep progressing as opening day approaches.
