It is like watching the Rutgers offense last year.
OT: NY Mets Season
- Thread starter yesrutgers01
- Start date
Did not see any of the games this weekend (out of town) so cannot comment on the specific situation. But in general I will never criticize a hitter for swinging at the first pitch. If the manager doesn't want him to, then he should give a take sign.
I get that Plawecki is not a good hitter. All the more reason why he shouldn't give away a strike. Hitting is tough enough as it is, it's even tougher when you start the at-bat 0-1.
What do you mean he is not a good hitter? Callaway has faith in his cleanup hitter:sunglasses:
The announcers agreed with me. The pitcher had thrown about 85 pitches and was gassed. The game that went 14 innings, make him throw a strike. Plus he walked the batter before Kevin.

Fair enough. Under those circumstances I am inclined to agree. But don't blame Plawecki. Blame Callaway for not giving him the take sign.
PJ Conlon claimed on waivers by Dodgers. Probably won't matter much in the scheme of things, but you never know. The guy was a prospect, albeit a middling prospect. And you hate to lose prospects because of poopy roster management.
What is poopy roster management? Poopy roster management is when you DFA a prospect to make room on the 40 man for a journeyman non-prospect in Scott Copeland, and then cut the non-prospect loose after ONE FREAKIN' DAY! Was Copeland's single day on the Mets roster really all that necessary?Couldn't the role have been filled by somebody already on the 40 man?
BTW, Copeland cleared waivers and is back in the minors. So we may see him again at some point. Maybe when the Mets get tired of the comedy act of Buddy & Gerson.

They did a poll a little while back as to which team NJ residents were fans of. I think the Yankees were somewhere between 45 and 50 %.
The Philles were actually second at 21%. And the Mets were third at about 15%.
Maybe that's why they provide so little coverage of the Mets...little interest.
Because Mets fans are too smart to waste their time looking at nj.com
True dat. Ok, I wish that were true. But I think in reality we have given up. After making the world series a few years ago, I though it was just the beginning. But sadly we have regressed even though we still have 2 of the top starters in the league. Our bullpen, fielding and clutch hitting is just not there.
I know that Met bashing is fashionable right now (I've done it myself) but this is just crazy talk.
Kelenic has planned his young life for this day. He graduated HS a semester early so he could spend the winter/spring preparing for the draft. He is not about to defer his pro career for three years. Nor is he walking away from his $5MM bonus slot.
Esp since that's probably the only $5M he will get from the Wilpons.
Sorry... couldnt resist lol.
Vargas doing his best to keep the ERA near 10.
Nimmo makes a swell catch, and not even a gesture giving Nimmo kudos. Dislike Vargas.

He's actually had what could be termed as quality starts his last 2 times out now. Nimmo and Cabrera both going South at the same time, and that's basically all they've had prior to them slumping.
Mets O is like watching Grass Grow...
WTH is Cespedes ???
WTH is Cespedes ???
Still playing for the home run with no home run hitters.
Nonsense. I am certain that they are thinking about it. Maybe even wishing, hoping, praying, etc.
Yeah well, THE SEASON IS OFFICIALLY OVER if they can only score ONE RUN in 16 innings vs THE WORST TEAM IN BASEBALL!!!!
And that's game. Immediate give up of a run after pulling the starter for a fruitless pinch hitter.
Oh yeah... NOOOOOOWWWWWW Wheeler and Matz pitches well. In all seriousness that's actually a good thing from those youngsters. But it's the old retreads who cant hit the earth when they drop their bats.
BTW heres the players the Mets shouldve signed/traded for of they weren't so damm cheap:
Eric Hosmer: 290, 7, 28
Mike Moustakas: 270, 12, 40
Lorenzo Cain: 278, 7, 18
JT Realmuto: 299, 6, 18
Eric Hosmer: 290, 7, 28
Mike Moustakas: 270, 12, 40
Lorenzo Cain: 278, 7, 18

Just saw box when I typed this. Didn't realize 2 on 2 out so kind of forced his hand on that one.
