OT: 2024 NY Mets Season Thread

[gmay8]

Little surprised Daryl is pitching to Doc and not Doc pitching to Daryl...

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Not okay with Cespdes. He didn’t take his contact obligations seriously in NY.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Familia throws his un hittable split to Alex Gordon and not a quick pitch gopher ball
Duda makes throw home
We field a slow grounder in the 8th with the lead

Cespedes #52 jerseys would still be all over the stands in citi along with plenty of 2015 World Champion mets t shirts

I also think Collins should’ve told Harvey yes you’re in the 9th instead letting him get all worked up trying to convince Terry to let him start 9th

Beg for a McNeil and/or Torrens swap, and get JD :(

On the topic of Gold Glove - in their history, the Mets have had only 10 Gold Glove winners. They range from the obvious to the obscure. How many can you name?

hmmm... Gary Carter? Keith Hernandez? (yeah, I'm old)

Looked it up.. correct on Hernandez.. many times winner.. wrong on Carter.. should have known knowing other catchers in same era..

There is a 69 Met I guessed but eliminated from consideration and another I did not consider, but should have (to make it clear, they did not win in 1969.. but were on the team and later won gold gloves)

So he'll start again, or back up Peterson?

I think if you are going to use Senga you have to start him. He has a starter's routine.

Good discussion. Getting two of the next 3 and closing it out in game 6 works for me.

Replacing Iglesias and Alvarez with McNeil and Torrenz for one game would have been OK with me. Looks like it's not happening today.

would love to see Jeff in there but since Alvarez really does work the staff so well with the off day yesterday- Would rather see what happens tonight. If we win - I let Torrens go on game 5 if we plan to do a Senga Bullpen game

Yeah if Torrens doesn’t start Game 5 with the day game after 2 night, he won’t. Hopefully Alvarez can find it fast at the plate.

Habits. Was watching the pre-game on SNY and then waiting for the game to come on. Finally dawned on me that damn thats right, the game isn't on SNY.

 

[FrankZ]

Needed this Nimmo injury like a hole in the head.

Better eat lots of pitches - Buehler looks good outside of the pitch way out wide. 19 thru 1.

Darling won some. So did Wright. Probably Ordonez. Harrelson may have gotten one or two. Agee? Ventura? Not sure of other guesses.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Alvarez has really been a mess the 2nd half of the season.

Wanted Torrens. Killer play.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Alvarez set that entire inning up.

The announcers jinx strikes again

 

[FrankZ]

Please Alvarez. Even a deep SF. Something.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Chance for Alvarez to make up for his blunder. Big chance.

 

[FrankZ]

Needs to be on the pine, so now this

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Horrible
Selfish
Undisciplined
Clueless approach

Just a big 💩💩 in the batters box

 

[FrankZ]

The inning of Alvarez. 🤦‍♂️

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Any other time you swing at anything. Now all of a sudden you're selective!

 

[RUforJERSEY]

I would not have expected offspeed on 3-2. I'm sure Francisco didn't either.

 

[Doctor Worm]

That disappointing inning out of the way... You went six for six! Hernandez of course makes seven.

The other three Gold Glovers are:

* The most recent GG winner.
* A very famous Met, fairly recent
* An obscure Met from the dark ages, best known for a trade he was involved in.

 

[Doctor Worm]

I would not have expected offspeed on 3-2. I'm sure Francisco didn't either.

Bueller doesn't have command tonight but his stuff is filthy.

 

[gman500]

Severino: you let this schlub walk in the offseason

 

[Doctor Worm]

On his third opportunity, GG nominee Severino fields the grounder. We'll take it.

 

[FrankZ]

Loathed this lineup from the jump.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Mendoza 0-2 on lineup on lineup so far
Alvarez needs to sit
JD some could could say shouldn’t be on the roster
Ended season 4-40

 

[shields]

Martinez on bench please.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Bueller doesn't have command tonight but his stuff is filthy.

And we're helping him with a real lack of plate discipline. Taking 1st pitch fastballs in the zone and then flailing at offspeed that we couldn't possibly touch even with a paddle.

 

[newell138]

6 LOB already

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Martinez on bench please.

I've often heard him described as one of the smartest hitters in the game. Not sure how to reconcile that with him so often fishing at offspeed pitches not even close to the plate. I'm talking about multiple times in a single at bat.

 

[FrankZ]

Get Buehler out of this game soon somehow

 

[FrankZ]

Another beauty of an Alvarez AB
