OT: 2019 Mets Season Thread

[RU-05]

Can't yell at BVW or the Wilpons because they don't address the media too often.

Media is going to ask the question to Callaway. But the fans, like us discussing it here, should be able to see what is going on.

Really it's amazing how bad BVW's offseason moves were. Diaz Familia Cano and whatever his name is on the IR? Is this perhaps the worst offseason ever? And they just continue to double down on it.

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Lowrie is on the IL and another former BVW client. For what the Mets paid Familia, they could have gotten two reliable relievers at same price.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Asdrubal Cabrera DFA'd by Texas. Might/should Mets be interested? In Dom Smith's absence they could certainly use another lefty bat.

I was with you up until the last sentence. I take it you are not fond of the Stroman acquisition? Most pundits seem to think it was a solid move.

 

[Knight Shift]

Take that, Cano haters!!!

 

[BigLou]

Take that, Cano haters!!!

After an 0 for 23 streak (longest 0'fer for his career), its the least he could do.

Do we need another infielder?

 

[BigLou]

Has there been any blow back regarding the foul line issue in yesterday's game? Has it been fixed today?

This guy has tweeted the same question 5 times today with no answer.

2/25!!![banana]

 

[cicero grimes]

Cano doubles to make it 2-0 Mets. Ramos drives in two more and now its 4-0.

Oh no, I like the stroman move.

I meant Cano in cleanup and Diaz as the everyday closer as my "double down" point.

Edit: and hey, for a day it pays off.

 

[RU-05]

So has Rosario turned the corner in the field?

please, no more jinxes. He sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RU-05]

If Cohen says that the Met's are playing good defense, is it a jinx if I say it here?

Anyways back to back inning ending defensive beauties by the Mets.

 

[cicero grimes]

Rosario channeling his inner Buddy Harellson. Ya gotta believe!

Currently playing like a number 1 can’t muss prospect- true 5 tool...he just needs to do it for a full year.
Conforto also playing lights out. Alonso needs to get his pre HR derby curse swing back and live that even in a batting slump, McNeil still usually comes up big in some way.
Need Davis playing every day and if Matz figures it out, something could happen

 

[RU-05]

Man a perfectly clean 9th inning by Familia.

Could this really be a thing?

 

[RU-05]

Wow last 17 starts, Met's starters with a 1.83 era.

26/121 walks to K ratio.

If the Mets starters go 7, maybe 8, they got a chance. Its when they go 6 or less when the bullpen screws up.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

White Sox certainly won't be sad to see the Mets pitchers leave town. What was that like 3-4 runs in 3 games?

 

[Zak57]

Definitely a fun streak!! Just wish 1 of those SF games went our way and we split there. 2 games under now let's get over that hump!!!

 

[RuBird]

Mets are winning without Alsono hitting at all and McNeil slumping. Cano and Conforto stepping up. This could get interesting if the bullpen can continue to do well. Time will tell

Defense turning it around too. Rosario made a couple plays today and has been much better of late.

Conforto made a nice catch to end the 8th.

McNeil made a ridiculous play earlier in the game.

The defense has been lousy for most of the season, so if they can just be decent to solid down the stretch that would be a big help.

Cohen forever talks things into existence. :Annoyed

 

[RU-05]

Someone mentioned Rosario's #'s since the All-Star break, and just to extend off that.

His July #'s, .350/.402/.537. Plus the defense of late.

One month I know, but those are impressive.

 

[shields]

Rosario is what 23 years old? has a chance to get better.

 

[yesrutgers01]

It just seems he has been around forever. He is getting better all the time at an age most guys are getting their first AB

 

[FrankZ]

-4

 

[BigEastPhil]

Mike Puma communicated Mets do not seem to have interest in Asdrubal Cabrera. Given lack of depth and current injuries (Smith, Nimmo,Lowrie etc) - I'd reconsider the position with Cabrera.

 

[rubaseball78]

I have no interest in Cabrera at this point in his career. Now if he was an ex Brodie client, sign him.

 

[Zak57]

This 4 man bench we're running with doesn't make sense and none of them can really hit all that well. We basically have an extra RP who we never pitch, I think it's Nogosek right now. That's why as much as we're winning now and BVW wants to say we're in it how could you not then trade for some smaller pieces like an extra bench bat or bullpen depth? They probably should have just kept Vargas so they could move him to the pen and not have saved the $2 million.

 

[cicero grimes]

Big series against the struggling Bucs coming up. Need 2 of 3. Can Stroman be this year's George Stone down the stretch?

 

[Knight Shift]

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Bad Matz tonight. We he loses it , he loses it faster than anyone !

 

[RUforJERSEY]

He really Matzed it up.

 

[shields]

Tyler is another Chris Flexen.

But Mickey loves using him. Why do you constantly bring a knife to a gun fight?

I really have to question the intelligence of this manager sometimes. Not just his capabilities but his overall smarts. Down one run late your top objective is what? Keep it right there. Only one swing away from tying it up. So why in the world would the idiot pluck somebody from the very back end of the bullpen in that situation? Help me make sense of that one bro.

Who else are you going to put in?
Is Lugo available?
