    Another RISP chance for the Mets. Oh great Vientos is up. Mr. Flail and Fail
  2. The Hot Corner
    Well, it didn't take long for the Keystone Mets defensive deficiencies to show up. Totally unacceptable.
  3. The Hot Corner
    Another game, another loss. Another game stranding a small village on the bases.
  4. The Hot Corner
    Oh lord, we are down to Baty as a last gasp hope.
  5. The Hot Corner
    Or pop one up to short.
  6. The Hot Corner
    Looking for Young to turn around a fastball to tie it up.

    By all accounts, Mendoza is a very good and decent man, but I often did not agree with many of his in game decisions. Even in 2024, I felt he had too quick of a hook with starting pitchers (seemingly based on pitch count) and as a result overworked the bullpen which eventually led to poor performance.
  8. The Hot Corner
    I would hit Lindor for Baty.
  9. The Hot Corner
    I ❤️ Weaver!
  10. The Hot Corner
    Lindor's calf appears to be pretty healthy.

    i tried looking up the percentage their total runs the Mets have scored with 2 outs this season, but Google AI said that is not a statistic that is regularly tracked. Further, digging with ChatGPT, stated the Mets have scored 311 runs with 121 being with 2 outs, which is 38.9%. Surprisingly, slightly better than league average.

    Green has said that Jared Young will receive the "lions share" of the reps at first base. I am all for that. He has shown a solid stroke with good power at the plate. He demonstrated his defensive abilities with several nice plays in yesterday's game. Given the other options (Vientos & Baty) I am fine with Green's plan. Let young have his shot to show what he can do as a regular. I've seen enough of Vientos to know he is not the answer at first base.

    Some seriously good defense being played in this game. Nice to see the Mets are taking part in it.
  14. The Hot Corner
    Thornton does a good job to escape his rough opening to limit the damage to the one run. Big assist by Jared Young snaring a hard smash to prevent further damage.
  15. The Hot Corner
    Well, that didn't take long. 3 Phillies hitters open double, single, & single. One run in already. Ks Bohm on a perfect change.
  16. The Hot Corner
    Seemed like a decent guy, but 50 strike outs in 120 at bats just won't cut it.
  17. The Hot Corner
    I imagine he was popular with the players, but he never seemed to be much of a motivator. Always had a pretty quick hook of starting pitchers.
  18. The Hot Corner
    I like that he is noted for having a good understanding of the strike zone. He walks at a decent rate and has a pretty low chase rate. That would be a refreshing change for the Mets, as only Soto and Ewing demonstrate such discipline at the plate.

    Too little, too late. Mendoza shares the balme for this debacle of a season, however, I feel that a greater share of the blame falls on Stearns for a series of moves that have (to put it nicely) not worked out. The roster he put together and handed to Mendoza had far too many question marks and relied on far too many players to have "bounce back" seasons, often at new positions.
  20. The Hot Corner
    Wow. This team just finds ways to lose. Poor defense once again undoes the Mets.
  21. The Hot Corner
    Cook book managing by Mendoza. So of course, Weaver is one and done and you go to Williams in the 9th. Williams was very effective, but where do you turn if the Mets don't score in the 9th?
  22. The Hot Corner
    If Mauricio makes a good throw (or Vientos was a better firstbaseman) on the ground ball to short, then the Cubs don't score.
  23. The Hot Corner
    Clone Luke Weaver.
  24. The Hot Corner
    Young hits a line shot to RF to tie it at 3.
  25. The Hot Corner
    Mauricio really doesn't run very well. That play at first on a 3-6-3 out wasn't even close. Swanson had to make an off balance throw across his body due to the wide throw from first and still got Mauricio by 2 full strides. Meanwhile, Wagaman takes Milner deep for a 2 run HR.* *I wish I typed better.
