Jake has his “worst” outing of the season, Lindor had chances to win the game and does not…….yet……….
Put it in the books. The Mets win!

Per Rojas postgame: Starting pitchers for the next three days are Stroman, Eickhoff, and Megill.
Everyone behind them lost today, wow. It's going to be a fun summer, despite what many in this thread complane about, lol. I'll take it, 5 up with a shitty offense!!!!https://www.espn.com/mlb/standings
101 pages in this Mets thread, now that baseball talk!!! It's 10x other baseball threads, unreal. And please, it's NOT just complaints, it's baseball talk, win or lose. It's like that every year, just a baseball loving fan base.
This team is similar to the 1973 team. Great pitching but not much offense. I want to believe this team will start to hit but we are three months in and no one is hitting.
The silver lining is that the players who wore Mets uniforms for the last month or so is not "this team". In truth, we haven't seen "this team" since the end of April.
I think 2015 is a better analogy. We muddled along with a AAA lineup for about half the season. Then guys got healthy, we added a key piece, and away we went.
Agreed with Doc on 2015. Not sure if there’s another Cespedes in our back pocket, but we sure could use one.
And then Peterson or Walker on Wednesday, as both will be fully rested. The question is, who on Thursday? Will it be Walker or Peterson (whomever didn't pitch on Wednesday) thus pushing deGrom back a day? Or deGrom on regular rest? That additional day will determine his ASG availability.
The 2015 team could not field. The won by bopping and strong starting pitching. The 73 team could pitch and field but could not hit. The second half will tell us whose right. If the team starts to hit and continues to pitch and field they may resemble the 2000 team. Time will tell.
No chance. Boar season in Florida just opened.
This season is going to depend on Stroman, Walker and some parts Peterson. Stro and Walker are pitching at ACE levels, Peterson has now had a few good starts in a row.
Nimmo played nine innings tonight at Syracuse. Figure he meets the team in DC on Monday.
Was at game today. Very festive after game. Will admit I was nervous as hell after Lindor struck out and Conforto didn’t look too good at plate at 2 strikes.
Great win! Don’t know why Almora was in lineup instead of McKinney.

I keep thinking we’re fools gold but somehow in spite of the offense being awful - we keep winning!
I think it’s a close team which helps and of course the pitching is awesome but my concern is what happens when the pitching becomes average.
When/if the pitching becomes average, hopefully the hitting becomes average. They are in first place by 5 games and dead last in the majors in runs scored. There is too much talent for that to continue.

I guess if we are struggling to hit come the trade deadline we do go out and look for a bat, but until then I think the hope is that this years "Cespedes" is already on the roster. More then one even.
I was 14 in 1969, and I can still name the starters and uniform numbers, but don't ask me what I had for dinner yesterday, lol. We'd play stick ball, and we'd get up, lefty and righty imitating every batting stance in the Mets lineup. My best stance and success was Ed Charles. "Never throw a slider to the Glider"!!! Lol.
In answer to my question. No way deGrom pitches in the ASG on a single day of rest.
I think Braves; Phillies and Nats are all more than capable. Great pitching to date is not sustainable and I’m quite frustrated seeing the lack of offense. All it takes is a 5 game losing streak and the 5 game lead is dwindled away.
A trade for a Cespedes type will need to occur to improve the offense along with another SP. The hope was Lindor would be the Cespedes type. Oh well.
I don't think a trade for another Cespedes is necessary, and would be unwilling to give up a Fulmer-equivalent prospect for him. We just need the players we have to play up to their capabilities.
Will reserve judgment on another starter until we see where Carrasco is in a month.
I feel sorry for Corey Oswalt. He's saving the pen today. As a reward, they'll probably send him down tomorrow to bring up a fresh arm.
A big time prospect won’t be traded. A ready major leaguer will be adequate. I expect Jeff MCNeil and or JD Davis to be dealt - both who have favorable contracts.
The above in all likelihood won’t bring back a Cespedes type but can bring back a solid position player and or mid / back end starter
You cannot count on Carrasco and or Noah. To do so would not be prudent.
Why would you trade McNeil if he is under control and not getting a Cespedes type player back?
The interesting thing with Lindor is that over the last 30 games or so- he has actually been good. His last 30 over a full season would be around .265 100 runs 30 HR 80 RBI
And no matter what- we just won’t win the division no matter how good the pitching is with how we are performing.
