I'm not a fan of anything Yankee having a say in Mets manners. This speaks to a lot of Mets fans. I'm still willing to give this manager the benefit of a doubt.

Chapman, with a gift from up above, still touches 100 mph but wasn't gifted much of a baseball brain I guess. It was very satisfying watching his meltdown.
A lot of our big arms went last night. Pretty good results across the board.
2 more injuries in our top 30. Ziegler and Garcia placed on the IL.
Jett starting off semi-slow. Houck and Clifford very slow. Parada and Ramirez a bit better than last year so far. Ramirez apparently changed his swing a little so could be a factor. Baez and Morabito will have some helium.
I'll probably start adding some more names to the HM section next week.

Paywall article from The Athletic.
Return of Martinez projected for April 26 against the Cards.
No timeline on Senga.
Stearns say the defense has to get better.
That sums it up if you can't read the link.

So after that 0-5 start at home and the lack of offense, look who's scored more runs after the same 18 games before the Yankees game today. Instead of enjoying their historic start, some of them spent more time in this thread busting balls and gloating. I'll leave it at that and enjoy this terrific turnaround for a couple of days before the dreaded west coast trip. 😁
So much for all the hysterics about The Mets bringing up and dfa pitchers. Look who leads MLB with the most K's for a bullpen. 😁
One thing I’m not is stubborn ! 😂
I can easily be persuaded based on facts / results !
Now if we re 10 games under .500 on Memorial Day - I might be singing a different tune !
Very small 1 game sample but in the game I saw at Lakewood last year - Ryan Clifford looked awful against lefties striking out all 4 times.
He’s young and he ll develop but just something I noticed.
If the season ended today, the Mets would be in the playoffs. Who would have predicted that 2 weeks after an 0-5 start?
And 2 games in a row that were wins without having to use Raley, Ottavino or Diaz.
This team has actually become fun. Even the "role" players- Taylor/Stewart - these guys have really picked it up over the past week. Lindor has a .344 OBP in the last week. Marte has been solid all year, as has Bader. McNeil has really picked it up and Alonso- always streaky but on his normal 45/100+ - Nimmo to streaky but has had his moments- Baty has really been good. Alvarez has been slow but I guess he will make it up stealing bases now. lol
Pitching- Seve may be the signing of the year- will be great if he stays healthy. Butto - damn- kid has been on, Quintana is who he is- solid. The BP has been surprisingly good.
And we still are waiting for Senga/JD and have a couple of arms lighting up the minors.

In the article, Stearns states that his first milepost to assess the team is the 45 game mark. Not five. Not eighteen. Forty-five.
To quote: “Getting to that point (45 games) and doing a check-in on where you are as a team in the various elements of your roster is probably a healthy thing to do. Clearly, avoiding impulsive and reactionary decisions generally proves beneficial.”
In fairness, he meant for him. He didn't mean for us.
He said he has trouble seeing the ball there because of the signage. Not sure how much that's contributing to it.
I assume you are referring to Michael Tonkin? He is back in the Mets organization. Mets claimed him on waivers after the Twins DFA'd him. So we may not have seen the last of him.
To make room for him on the 40 man, Tyler Jay was DFA'd.
that has been the thing- a couple of years ago- I don't care if we finished weak but we finished in a place that is 1st 90% of the time and those damn Braves just wouldnt lose. And a day like today- we win and watch those guys- everything indicated an Atl loss but of course- they win.
I give them credit but it just pisses me off lol
I would never tell a fellow fan how to be a fan, but I personally just don't get the concept of scoreboard watching in April.

Hell, baseball make up stupid rules to cover the fact that players can’t simply hit the ball the other way anymore.
Mets SP prospect Calvin Ziegler having TJS. He's been injured his whole career.
Yup Christian Scott is the closest thing we've got to that at this point. At this stage he's got huge K/9 and K/BB numbers and will be up this year. Mets did a great job with his development ad we should see him at some point in the Summer. He's got a great 4 seam FB and he can dial it up to 98 at times but he knows how to command and control it. The go to word lately is tunneling and he can do that. He also has a slider, sweeper, and a change that he'll use. His upside is not that of a true #1 but hey neither was deGrom so we'll never know how these guys keep developing.
We have Hamel and Vasil but they're more back end guys or even pen arms. Hamel puts out big spin rates his whole career.
The other really live arm guys are Tidwell and Sproat.
I mentioned this at some in the past this year but the new pitching lab is going to play a huge role this year. I think we'll see a lot of gains with the arms in the system and early returns are that could be the case. Butto basically re-invented the way he's pitched this year so I am interested to see what he credits that to like the lab or something else.
Have to say a day off and traveling cross country couldn't have come at a worse time!!!! Team on a roll going 10-3 after the horrendous start,timing sucks.
@cubuffsdoug If you liked that post, you'll love this one. Michael Tonkin has been activated and is in uniform tonight in LA. We say goodbye to Grant Hartwig before we even had a chance to say hello.
Any thoughts on the Mets CityConnect uniforms? I hate 'em. Who thought Concrete was an attractive color? Who even knew it was a color?
