OT: 2024 NY Mets Season Thread

[willisneverrana43]

I'm still nervous about this group other than Senga. All are back end of the rotation guys, which is fine during the season. You roll in and out of cities and teams don't micro focus on you. Playoffs is where some of these guys would get exposed.

This just seems like storytelling. As if teams don’t try or scout during the regular season, or as if trying and scouting doesn’t happen equally for pitching and hitting.

To the extent a pitcher performs worse over a large sample size in the playoffs, it would be because the select group of teams that make the playoffs on average have better hitters than the selection of all teams in the regular season.

Sky was falling for 1 day. And even yesterday- we fell behind early and fought back but it was the beginning of the end for some.

Butto has been a major addition to the pen.

As has the return of Diaz.

Was thinking how choppy Diaz's season has been so far. The "injury", the suspension, the ASB. Don't want to be accused of jinxing anything, so I'll just say he's been really good since coming back from the IL. Whatever was ailing him early it seems that time off has allowed him to find his game. WHIP well below 1. Got his overall ERA back below 4 with today's perfect 9th.

NL Wild card race shaping up to be one helluva dogfight.

3 spots available for : Braves / Mets / Cardinals / Pirates / DBacks / Giants.

Sproat pitching today. Willis will be happy there's been some talk the Mets are considering using him out of the pen later in the year.

I stated my case for my day one after ASB yesterday. Nunes and the other guy who does not deserve his name to remembered were a disaster in the 8th inning. That was my snapshot of the bullpen performance, and unlike me most of the time, I posted reflexively on that one inning. Didn't even check the score or play by play. But my second post point still stands. The Marlins suck and are should not be a yardstick or even an inchstick for progress. You don't measure progress by one or two games. There, I fell on my own sword. Let me do it again. Nunes redeemed himself yesterday. Let's see how the bullpen does going forward.

Yep, bullpen did its job. They were the only facet of the team that did today.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Well if the Marlins can't beat anyone else

Mets must get ready for the Braves this weekend.
I'll be there on Thursday night chanting "Let's Go Mets",while wearing my Phillies shirt.
Pennant races make strange bedfellows.

There is an adage in baseball: You're never as good as you look when things are going well, and you're never as bad as you look when they're not.

This team is not as good as it looked in June. Nor is it as bad as it looked in May. It is what we thought it was, a mid-level team which if things break right, could sneak a playoff spot.

Or Al Cervik. Did somebody step on a duck?

7 runs in 3 games vs Marlins is atrocious.

Unfortunately law of averages now occurring with Lindor / Nimmo and Vientos crashing down to earth and Alonso / JDM continuing to struggle.

Just got home to see this gem, shades of Ron Swoboda 1969, but Swoboda dove to the side.

Always an adventure, but they got the win, and the bullpen held!!!!

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Really need to get some guys going again as we head back to NY. Thinking of Nimmo and Alvarez mostly from this road trip.
