  1. The Mets need to avoid the sweep. It seems every time they play well for a few games and look like a potentially competitive team they go right back into a tailspin of poor offense and shaking defense.
  2. I was expecting this to be a recap of their losses.
  3. Throughout March and April, I kept saying I wasn't worried about Bichette. I firmly believed he would start hitting, as he has done virtually his entire career. I no longer have that confidence in his bat, If he can't get going hitting in front of Soto, the one guy in our line up that opponents don't want to face in a crucial situation, then he is definitely is out of sync.
  4. Yesterday, the Mets appeared to be wearing tin gloves. Balls to the right side were clanging of gloves and turning outs into 2 base errors. Vientos in particular had a bad day.
  5. They are well on their way to making your expectation a reality.
  6. "Johnny, tell her what she's won."
  7. Soto says "Welcome to the big leagues, kid" No doubter grand slam driving home the message that walks kill to Josh White.
  8. Torrent comes through with the baseboard single on a grounder through the second base hole. Routine out if the Marlon second baseman wasn't playing Torrens you pull. With all the scouting and information available to teams, I often can't understand the defensive alignment teams deploy.
  9. Semien with a 2-run shot to left. 3-0 Mets after 2 innings.
  10. Carson Benge just trashed that offering from King. Just like that, 1-0 Mets.
  11. That ball from Liam Hicks looked like a super ball. Semien was prepared to to field it and the ball practically bounced over his head.
  12. The Marlins defense is a gift that just keeps giving. It is almost like watching a Little League game.
  13. Vientos lives by the philosophy, swing hard because you might hit it. That is his 7th HR with 38 Ks this season. For his career that is HR 61 with 371 Ks. Pair that with a .261 OBP this season and .290 OBP for his career and I don't think Vientos is the answer now or in the future.
  14. Going to be a lot of bullpen innings tonight. Meyers with a 33 pitch inning (66 through 3) and now Peralta with a 38 pitch inning (65 through 3).
  15. Benge wins that ABS challenge to get a walk. I still don't think it was a wise challenge.
  16. Batty drives in 2 more runs after some poor defense by the Marlins.
  17. The Mets score 2 first inning runs. First and third with only one out. I am not accustomed to such occurences.
  18. I will take a guess that possibly Vientos got a hold of a fastball when Kimbrel was with the Phillies.
  19. Of the two, I would prefer a reasonable "salary floor" so that teams have to at least make some effort to be competitive. Floor/Ceiling it doesn't matter the cost of MLB attendance will continue to skyrocket.
  20. I would go with a platoon of Jared Young vs RHP and Vientos vs. LHP at least until either Polanco returns. It is sink or swim time for Vientos. Clifford needs to put the ball in play more. Striking out 40% of the time (at AAA no less) isn't going to cut it. A Rob Deer/Joey Gallo type hitter isn't going to do much to turn this team around. The Mets already have far to many hitters that are struggling to hit .225 or better.
  21. I'm going to go with Juan Soto since he seems to hit HRs against virtually everyone at some point and time.
