On a bright note, to this point in the season the NL East is the picture of mediocrity, and the Mets' foes all appear to have enough questions to preclude any of them from running away from the pack.
Are the Mets a toy for Cohen ???
was worth 13-15 billion after GameStop and before last market surge.
he is worth 16 billion now ???
his tweets make him sound like the complete opposite of Steinbrenner .
this team needs a wake up call.
more like a new bed , in a new house with a new alarm clock

I tip my hat to any one still watching these guys play, after last night I got to take a break from them until they show they're up to the task. Injuries or no injuries they shouldn't be blowing games against crappy teams again and again.
OK guys, you wanted emotion out of Rojas, you got it. He's probably looking at a suspension. I believe his response was calculated and intentional, but we will never know that.
Let's see if it carries over to the postgame. Different guys have different personalities and you're not going to change them. But I must admit, I wouldn't mind seeing Rojas emulate this 2016 blow up from Terry Collins. It starts at about the 4:00 mark of the linked clip. The truly memorable quote is at about 6:45. Here goes:
"Starting tomorrow, we're back fresh. Starting tomorrow, we're gonna get after it here. And those who don't want to get after it, I will find somebody else who does. Because in Las Vegas, there's a whole clubhouse of guys who want to sit in this room. And I'll find them."

BACK IN THE HUNT! (With apologies to Chris Ash.) Blankenhorn 3 run PH homer. Back to 6-4, top 4.
The major question is where do we find someone to pitch the next six innings, given that tomorrow's starter is TBA, who is also starting on Tuesday.

Nah… people are going to complain that Rojas shouldn’t have argued that play and that he’s still stupid…
Nice try by Rojas. I would’ve just said F*** IT and go apes** here. But he’s slowly losing the division…
Sarcasm went right over your head. That was a joke. Diaz is a closer. He fails in non-save situations. Before last night, he was 17 of 19 in save situations. The statements that the season is over and the Mets should dump Diaz are way over the top.
Didnt the ball nipped the batter’s pants leg while he was in the box? It would be a HBP if a pitch nipped the batter’s uni in anyway so why not on a hit ball?
That's why you have to be skeptical that they can complete this comeback. Until they show they can produce in those situations other than occasionally via a long ball. Everybody comes up swinging for the fences instead of trying to string hits together. And then you know at some point Conforto is gonna come up to kill any rally.

Loved it. Needed something to try to fire this listless bunch up. The near brawl didn't do it so try something else. I just hope he doesn't back off from it postgame.
Nice double by smith
Hustle by McNeil
Conforto flat out sucks
3-33 RISP
145 vs LHP. Pillar needs to platoon with

Yeah cause we know crime wasn't a problem in this country before January.
Frankly, there was a lot of crime in DC on January 6th.
A bunch of sore losers turned into traitors and insurrectionists.
Oh so you are somehow TAKING CREDIT for Conforto's homer? Sorry, that schtick's already been taken. @FrankZ
Relax , take a deep breathe , enjoy the night !!! Get ready for the reds !
by the way .....I was talking about me !
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes I can smile again. This is a win that could spur a win streak. Although obviously starting pitching is a big concern right now. But that's 2 games in a row with nice run production.
Was not a good week for the Mets. Hopefully this win will get them going for the rest of the year.

While I hope you are right, I have never bought into this logic. Just as I don't buy how a loss like last night's could send a team into a tailspin.
I believe in the maxim that in baseball, momentum is tomorrow's starting pitcher. Unfortunately, we don't have those.
"Completely wrong". Looked like the ball was fouled of the batter's leg. Not a reviewable play, and the manager should go out there and argue on a play like that. But use whatever weak sauce you want to continue to complain about the manager.
On the second Jomboy replay I posted earlier, it looked like the ball looked like it nipped the batter in the pant leg while still in the box. If a batter can get a HBP when he gets nipped on the overhanging sleeve, why not in this case?
When it comes to sports, the mental aspect of it is as big or bigger than you think. Sports are 90% mental and 10% physical. Every time you hear a player or coach talk in any sport, it's always from the mental approach before you even think of the physical part of the game. If you recall the Yankee/Houston, then you know what I'm talking about. Cole was on fumes against Houston, and he told his manager I got this. Coles' approach (bulldog) made the hitter second guess and weak at the knees. Did you see the hitter basically throw in the towel on each swing?
Winning is habit-forming, just as losing is too.
Today Robert Stock started for Syracuse, retired the side on seven pitches, and was pulled. I assume this is in anticipation of a call up and start on Tuesday, with Eickhoff starting tomorrow.
Yennsy Diaz will likely be first man out of the pen. After that, your guess is as good as mine.

According to Tijuan Walker, Rojas’ outburst woke the team up. Looks like Rojas did the Terry Collins that most of you wanted him to do. Of course some will probably rip him for going off on the umpires or something, lol.
I was waiting for this from Jomboy. I have no idea if that ball was fair or foul. From the umps view it may be fair… may be not. From Walkers view, probably wasn’t… Next time keep it in the glove, 🤷🏻♂️.
