    Of their 13 picks thus far, the Mets have taken 7 college pitchers (6 RH & ! LH). I worry that our #1 pick missed most of this past season recovering from an internal brace surgery on his UCL. The next pitcher chosen by the Mets is coming back from Tommy John surgery. I know that now days, pitchers are often having Tommy John surgeries in middle school and high school. I just worry about taking pitchers with an injury history so early in the draft. Time will tell.

    Good job by Brazoban.
  3. The Hot Corner
    Now that is how (and when) you use your zABS challenges.
  4. The Hot Corner
    Another disappointing effort by Peralta. Now Brazoban has to try to clean up his mess.
  5. The Hot Corner
    Jose Quintana

    Absolutely stupid ABS challenge by Peralta (on a pitch that wasn't remotely close) earlier in the game comes back to haunt them. The 3-2 pitch to Durban appeared to be a strike, but after wasting the earlier challenge the Mets are a little gun shy of using their sole challenge. Durban takes first on the walk and now Monaststerio takes him deep. Cost Peralta extra pitches and now an extra run. Of all the off-season additions, I think Peralta has disappointed me the most.

    So they are an awful like most of the Mets line up.

    Well Frayed Knot and Ben Grimm beat me to the punch and got the two I thought of. The only other player that comes to mind with those initials is Tony Tarasco, but I can't remember him playing with the Mets. I remember him as a Brave, Oriole, & Yankee.

    Soto attones for his lackadaisical defense with a bomb to RF.
  10. The Hot Corner
    Bad typing (pecking) skills.
  11. The Hot Corner
    Soto's gaffe immediately costs the Mets. May prevent Manea from getting out of the 7th.
  12. The Hot Corner
    Soto with his lazy defense turns a single into 3 bases.
  13. The Hot Corner
    I didn't think the Mets allowed such a thing. Keeping his pitch count down certainly helps. Currently, at 86 pitches through 6.6 innings.

    Vientos is a low BA & low OBP guy that strikes out far too much. He doesn't run well and is a defensive liability wherever they try to play him, but he does have power. Seriously, who would want to trade for Vientos for a stretch run? If someone actually wanted him, I doubt the Mets could expect much for him. That said, I hope he wasn't seriously hurt with that HBP on his wrist/hand.

    I have had years of practice honing my craft while watching the Mets.🍺

    In the past month, Santucci has made made 6 starts. His performance is still somewhat erratic with his starts either being great or rather ineffective. Control still appears the big factor deciding how his starts go. During his last 6 starts Santucci pitched 21.3 innings and produced a WHIP 1.41. The elevated WHIP is due to high walk rate (6.33 / 9 IP), but his K rate remains high (12.66 / 9 IP). He is not getting hit particularly hard, as all of the hits he allowed over his 21.3 innings were singles other than 1 lone home run. For the season, he has made 16 starts for AA Binghamton and thrown 74 innings with an ERA of 3.77. Batters have hit .215 against him for the year and his WHIP 1.284. Like so many young pitchers, command seems to be his big issue as evidenced by his high walk rate (4.74 / 9 IP), but his stuff is good as his high K rate shows (11.31 / 9 IP) & low slugging % allowed (.310).
  17. The Hot Corner
    This team is an embarrassment.
  18. The Hot Corner
    The Mets are emulating the Nationals of late.
  19. The Hot Corner
    Soto is Superman.
  20. The Hot Corner
    Who is that in LF playing Superman?
  21. The Hot Corner
    I was shaking my head in disgust while laughing so that I wasn't sure who made the third KC error.
  22. The Hot Corner
    Wow, that was embarrassingly bad defense. Benge hits it all of 10-12 feet. Lugo fields it and throws it in the dirt at first (E-1). First baseman retrieves the ball and, best I can figure, throws it to the 3rd base dugout (E-3). Then it is retrieved and promptly thrown away to allow Benge to circle the bases. The level of defensive play I have observed while watching Mets games is embarrassing for professionals. There have of course been some truly stunning plays, but the number of routine and easier plays that are botched is mind boggling.
  23. The Hot Corner
    Desperate times call for desperate measures, but good for Seelinger. I hope he gets in and does well, before he inevitably becomes the next reliever sent back down in the bullpen churn.
  24. The Hot Corner
    I just think that if the Mets truly intend to be playoff contenders next season, it is more important to hold someone like Weaver. He is far more likely, to be of value and contribute to winning next season than a solid prospect that is likely 1-3 years away from contributing to the MLB club. Of the top 20 prospects on MLB prospects list, only 3 of them are at AAA. 12 of them are in AA and the remaining 5 are in A or lower. They are not likely to make a difference in the teams competitiveness next season. It doesn't change dramatically, as you move down the list. If they want to trade Peralta and or Williams, that's fine with me. Of the players the Mets would likely be looking to move at (or before) the deadline, they are not likely to obtain anyone that would make a difference for 2027.

    That's because they're dum!
