The Diaz-Cano trade is already the 3rd worst trade in franchise history and that's without Kelenic or Dunn even doing anything in the majors yet.

THE METS SUCK ASS...
Im just going to post the LA Angels No Hitter on the same night they honored their teammate Tyler Skaggs, who died last week. What a game.

Or it can be viewed fondly as a success - if Diaz becomes a modern day Tug McGraw or Jesse Orosco - a key component to a championship team.
Obviously, won't happen this year, but it could happen. Don't ask me to bet on it though.
So the Yankee Trolls can come on this thread and beat the holy hell out of that corpse of a horse but I cant mention a historic no hitter under emotional circumstances?
Good thing because the odds of this happening while with the Mets is LOOONNNNNGGGG based on recent history. Will not happen with Diaz because he will either continue to crap in his pants, have a dislocated finger turn into paralysis below the waist, or get traded for mid level prospects before he signs his first big FA contract.
It's fairly common for OF's to reference note cards as to positioning against different hitters. Never saw a cellphone before, but why not.
It was a quick glimpse, but it sure looked like a cell phone, a super thin one, which I imagine they can afford.
Don't they make flexey phones too nowadays?

Because waiting the few minutes to when you’re in the dugout takes so long! Looking forward to the first instance of distracted OF play where it costs a team...you know it’s coming...and probably a Met...and it will be hilarious !
Diaz and Cano for the win. For one glorious day the trade worked[sick]

Maybe some fool will be tricked by these HRs and we can be rid of him....nah
He probably has the Reyes Virus: Hits .094 until he goes on a tear after the All Star Break, when nothing counts except personal stats.
Yeah... he wakes up when the season is damm near over. BTW, after a decent 2018 season when it looked like he was about to turn into a legit contributor, explain why Amed Rosario has all of a sudden turned into Robinson Cano, Jr?
AR isn’t the best around by far but this has been his best offensive season
That was 10 days ago. Since then he was 5 for 24 with 1 extra base hit before today.
But hopefully today is a true sign that he is now woke.
So far it is but as I've been saying he's still below average offensively at SS. He needs a monster second half.
I shouldve said Defensively. His hands and glove were not as bad as they are this year
I don't disagree- just thought it a strangely timed post as it is easily his best offensive season. And I think some of us have now settled into just being happy he is hitting better than he was. And more so since this seems to be a position that has also become the best hitter on most teams. A SS needs to be now 275 ba + 25hr + and also steal 20+
Now, that makes more sense and very strange too. I just don't remember him being this bad
It used to be that the four corner positions (1B, 3B, LF, RF) were considered offense-first positions, but up the middle (C, 2B, SS, CF) were defense-first. But nowadays it seems there is no such thing as a defense-first position. If you can't rake, you can't partake.
It's just not a bat currently that I need to get in the lineup and keep there. I figured he'd take that next step by now but his slow incremental improvement while being a positive sign overall his production with the bat and glove leaves a lot to be desired. I still have some faith that by the end of the year he proves me wrong so he can be a piece at SS that we need.
I think Lowrie being hurt from the start has been a blessing. If he was healthy early on McNeill may never have gotten a chance to play every day and develop.
Great point. And McNeil wouldve been traded for a middle reliever
Here's a tissue. Stop your sobbing.
Then take a look at the number of games missed by Yankees players this season due to injuries.

Nothing even remotely the same you dolt...Wheeler is not expected to help us out at all this year but was our only player that could have brought back significant return before he becomes a free agent.
He is now hurt during the only time we could have traded him.
Disagree about center field and catcher. Yes, a team needs excellent defenders at those positions, but a center fielder or catcher who is good-field-no-hit has always been headed for the bench. But what you say is true of ss's and 2baggers, and I think the difference is that nowadays their are plenty of guys who can hit playing those positions -- there are now bigger people playing ss and 2b -- so every team now seeks offense at ss and 2b to keep pace.
