That's what my son texted me too...so disappointed Keith, Gary and Ron are even doing one game.Can I say how awful the Fox announcers were last night?? Jesus. ESPN national announcers almost as bad. Miss the days of buck and Mcarver/Scully and Garagiola.
I don't think it was ever in question outside of the Mets fan bubble lolThink we can put the MVP vote to bed with the Lindor injury and now this
JDM has had a great career, not a HOF career, but a great one. I'm thankful we plucked him off the bargain pile for 12 million; he won't get nearly as much next year if he wants to stick around. Which then begs the question of: who's playing DH next year? Soto?Just about had it with JDM myself. Just sit there waiting for the feeble ground ball that he’ll never beat out.
I'd imagine that with the weekend we'll see more fannies in the seats.Yours truly was at the game …had great seats and loved every second of it except when I went nuts on Danny Young. Lol
It’s amazing what this team is doing…..just wish we had a little more breathing room
Memo to Mendoza: Love ya but you should have had Severino start the 7th and please bench JDM. He looks awful. Put Marte at DH or Taylor or Winker
Was a bit disappointed that crowd was only about 30-35k given it’s importance as I hope remaining games are sellouts or near sellouts. This team deserves it!
What a fun year!
9 games to go and let’s go 9-0 !
Who's playing DH next year? Hopefully, no one. That is, no one specific player. I hope next year we have 13 true position players, and rotate the DH role.JDM has had a great career, not a HOF career, but a great one.

Let's enjoy the ride with Acuna right now. But remember - there's a reason he wasn't brought up before now. He wasn't lighting it up in triple A.
I mean, I could live with that. Certainly it'd be a good spot for Marte physically a third of the time, and Vientos others (IF Iglesias stays).Who's playing DH next year? Hopefully, no one. That is, no one specific player. I hope next year we have 13 true position players, and rotate the DH role.
So glad Steve convinced Tommy Glavine 2.0 to take his shit and leave, lol
Peterson pitched great against the Phils last time out - it’ll be tough to replicate.Getting that 1st one was huge. Makes at least a split very likely as I can't see the Phils taking 3 straight. But let's go for 3 out of 4 at least.

We can always count on Willis to try and bring us down!!Or AA.
But 19 ABs later . . .
From my experience on this board, you don't need Willis. The "us" will come down and come down hard all on its own. All it takes is for things to go badly for a while, even a short while. It's hard to think of anyone on this team that didn't stink or suck according to "us" this year, with Martinez the latest victim. Acuna will get "ussed" soon enough.We can always count on Willis to try and bring us down!!
It had been a question as a full time DH has never won it. But since Lindor went down- Ohtani has just crushed everything and on a mission.I don't think it was ever in question outside of the Mets fan bubble lol
Had to have it with the pitching match up in our favor, and the Braves heading down to Miami.Getting that 1st one was huge. Makes at least a split very likely as I can't see the Phils taking 3 straight. But let's go for 3 out of 4 at least.
He's been on a pace for 50-50 for quite some time, not just a week.It had been a question as a full time DH has never won it. But since Lindor went down- Ohtani has just crushed everything and on a mission.
before Lindor went down, Ohtani was already on track for a 50/50 season. He just actually completed it last night, but he was already at 40/40 a month ago and Dodgers were one of the top records in baseball. MVP was a foregone conclusion.It had been a question as a full time DH has never won it. But since Lindor went down- Ohtani has just crushed everything and on a mission.
Not the lineup I’d throw out today.
I still expect him to pitch well. He's been pretty consistent since he returned. Had one bad start against Atlanta the last time we faced them and then the one his start before the one in Philadelphia. Other than that he's been rock solid.Peterson pitched great against the Phils last time out - it’ll be tough to replicate.
Swinging, fielding ground balls and making throws I would think.A couple of updates from Mendoza's pregame presser:
2) Lindor is resuming baseball activities (whatever that means) today. If all goes well, he may be available tomorrow.
