OT: 2019 Mets Season Thread

[tico brown]

I have an idea for BVW. Since the vets are doing well as replacements for the injured outfield, why not sign some replacement pitching. Go out and sign Dallas Keuchel as a starter to replace Vargas or Thor. Sign Craig Kimbrel for bullpen help.

DUHHHHHHHHH!!!!! BVW is too smart for us.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Just need some replaceMET pitchers now.

You ain't kidding....Gio Gonzalez would have been nice.....

My guess, and this is only a guess, is that both pitchers and their agents are biding their time until after the June draft. After that, the signing teams will not have to forfeit any compensatory draft picks. The market will heat up, and I suspect it will be too rich for the Wilpons' blood.

I think that BVW has already spent, and perhaps overspent, his budget. His hands may be tied. But if so, you could say it's his own fault for spending it on Lowrie instead of another starting pitcher.

Lowrie is looking more and more like a mistake.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Transactions du jour: Vargas up, Gulliorme down. That leaves Mets with no backup middle infielders. If either Rosario or Hechevarria get hurt, I don't know what they'll do.

Thought Conforto might also be activated today, but no.

 

[tico brown]

Money will do that to ya...
(Why Vargas is still on the team)

 

[FrankZ]

Yeahhhh Vargas is back!

 

[RUEd]

Yeahhhh Vargas is back!

86 pitches through 3 1/3. Gives up 4.

 

[FrankZ]

Sounds vintage Vargas

 

[FrankZ]

Lucky if he gets thru 1. Refusal to ditch this guy sank the season.

Looks like this is our lucky day![winking]

 

[FrankZ]

Can’t wait for inning 2

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Did I forget to mention that this series looks a lot like the Marlins one. Don't be surprised if the Mets are swept.

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Vargas has a lot of high stress innings. Not good for him, but worst for the whole team.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Can’t wait for inning 2

We got Wilmer Font lined up behind him. It's all good.

 

[FrankZ]

Not to mention me

 

[FrankZ]

Ramos hopefully finally waking up from his drear

Definitely think we will see serious action on these guys in June. When those dominos fall, then movement on some trades such as Bumgarner.

 

[yesrutgers01]

Ramos hopefully finally waking up from his drear

He started to wake up some a week or so ago and today, wow.
Kind of amazing with the length of his funk that he was on a 100+ rbi pace...

 

[FrankZ]

Can we get Kelenic back now :flush:

 

[Mr Magoo]

Can we get Kelenic back now :flush:

You can always bet on Callaway making the wrong move. Diaz is so incredibly over-rated.

 

[Knight Shift]

86 pitches through 3 1/3. Gives up 4.

That's a good outing for him.

 

[tico brown]

Mickey gotta go

 

[Knight Shift]

Mickey gotta go

Why?

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Diaz isn't over-rated. It's more like Calloway and BVW are over-rated.

 

[FrankZ]

Not sure anybody here thinks highly of Callaway. BVW on a year 1 leash that gets tighter by the day.

 

[Doctor Worm]

FONT IN BOLD! You go, Gary.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Can we get Kelenic back now :flush:

If Kelenic is every bit as good as hoped, which is a HUGE if, he'd be an elite player. Which is exactly what Diaz is now. No ifs about it.

 

[FrankZ]

Only hope to win this game is another Ramos HR

 

[Doctor Worm]

Only hope to win this game is another Ramos HR

Well since he's out of the game...

 

[Doctor Worm]

Only hope to win this game is another Ramos HR

Or a HR by his replacement!

 

[RuBird]

Brodie has to get some props for some of these non big time acquisitions. Santiago came up big. Now we wait for Kemp and Santana :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

 

[FrankZ]

Or a HR by his replacement!

Truth is, I only had hope in the C spot today. Yippee!

 

[Doctor Worm]

Nimmo has a bulging disk in his neck and is experiencing whiplash. No telling how long he'll be out.

He wasn't doing a damn thing anyway.

Do you really think Vargas is the reason we suck right now?
Familia/Cano/Frazier and subpar Big 3 starters and maybe evrey time a batter has a hot day they get sat the next day, has to do with it.
When the team gets back to healthy, could we just go with our young players please
Alonso - 40 HR 110 RBI
McNeil - .320+ ba
Rosario - solid at plate
Davis 25+ HR
Smith(find any way possible to teach him OF) .300
JL- yeah- cant hit but great in field and always playing hard as hell
Conforto 30+ HR
Ramos - looks like he will end up with his normal year of .270 ish 12-15 HR and 70-80 RBI

All except for Ramos are under 27

I know it is never happening but...

 

[FrankZ]

Have more of an issue with Mets management than Vargas per se.

Never gonna happen, BVW clients need playing time. And JL will bump one of the kids once he is healthy.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Transactions du jour: Conforto activated and is in the lineup, hitting 3rd and playing RF. Rajai Davis DFA'd. He leaves with our thanks and a wonderful memory. Hope he clears waivers.
