  1. It seems that the Mets went into this deal with the thought that it would be a 1 years rental. Why else would you offer a $5 mil. bonus to opt out after year one? If your truly wanted him to stay you would offer a $5 mil. bonus not to opt out. I think this was a quick, emergency, safe facing move once the Mets (Stearns) missed on Kyle Tucker. I liked landing Bichette, but I didn't like the terms the Mets gave to land him. Smelled of desperation.
  2. Nice to have all our history accessible once again.
  3. Hey pass the bottle this way. I want some of whatever Cowtipper is drinking.
  4. I don't have Apple TV either. I likely wouldn't watch anyway. I am basically tired of watching their offensive futility most nights. I just watch the highlights/lowlights with my coffee the next morning.
  5. well, they are pretty much dead.
  6. As soon as he makes an appearance and pitches an inning, they will option him back to Syracuse and bring Gerber back. Baseball needs to make some changes, this constant turn over is ridiculous. I would rather they just expand the active roster to 28 players and put a limit on the number of times a players can be sent up and down with it being injury related.
  7. I watched the first 6 innings, then turned it off. I can take a team losing, I have a hard time watching a team that regularly not competitive at the plate. Far too many swing and miss guys. The only players that I actually enjoy watching bat are Soto, Benge, Ewing, and Young. I enjoy watching Ewing, Benge, Torrens and Semien play defense. Beyond that I find little that interests me now.
  8. The Cardinals shortstop, Winn, has an absolute gun for an arm. He damn near took Alvarez's head off turning a double play.
  9. Marlins Loan Depot Park
  10. Well, in fairness, if you were living off post-game highlights, then it would be easy to miss out on Slaters brief time with the Mets. There weren't many highlights to his time, but he definitely had more than Ibanez.
  11. Since checking in on Santucci in mid April, he seems to have righted the ship in his last 8 starts. He has still had some rough outings, but his overall numbers are trending up. In those 8 starts, he pitched 40.2 innings and produced a WHIP of 1.180 His walk rate is down significantly 16 (3.54 / 9 IP) as is his K rate, but 45 (9.96 /9 IP) is still solid. He only surrendered 2 HR's in his 40.2 innings of work which is outstanding. Hopefully, he will continue to keep pitching well and he can hopefully make it to Syracuse before the season is out.
  12. Looks a little like Fenway.
  13. Adell took that one off his glove then headed it (ala Jose Conseco) over the fence.
  14. 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.
  15. I was expecting this to be a recap of their losses.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. They are well on their way to making your expectation a reality.
  19. "Johnny, tell her what she's won."
  20. Soto says "Welcome to the big leagues, kid" No doubter grand slam driving home the message that walks kill to Josh White.
  21. 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.
  22. Semien with a 2-run shot to left. 3-0 Mets after 2 innings.
