Actually, Guillorme and Nido hit in front of deGrom. The chances of deGrom driving in a run are higher since Guillorme and Nido get on base more often than McCann or Villar.
I never had the impression the Mets knew how to approach this season with their staff. I think Rojas is still learning to be a big-league manager and last (short) season threw this season out of whack. This has led to some head-scratching moves, which has created some angst among us.
Considering the injuries and the status of the pitching staff, the fact that the Mets continue to be in first place indicates that the overall body of work by Rojas is excellent. Does he make calls that can be questioned? All managers do. See Girardi and Boone. Should the Mets swap with one of them?
Wondering what Girardi would’ve done with all of these injuries. At least Boone went through the same thing couple years ago. People here commenting like the Mets are doing the complete opposite of everything Rojas does lol.
Man this Toronto team can hit. Even many of their outs are hard. Hope to get this one in the books and get them out of town.
Breaking news? We know why. They can't pitch. Especially out of the pen. Plus they have teams in their division that are around 20 games over .500

Another series win for the Mets…
Keep them coming!!!
Keep them coming!!!
That was a man save right there.
Great that the Mets stepped up this weekend vs a Slam Diego type lineup that Toronto has.
Good pitching can slow down good hitting. The Blue Jays don't have pitching.
No props to Rojas for his decision to pitch hit McNeil for Nido in the sixth?
If it hadn't worked, and if the game had ended with Blankenhorn or Drury striking out, this board's reaction to "wasting" McNeil in the sixth would have been predictable.

I was at game last night. The sounds of the Toronto shots off the bats were powerful.
I disagree. You have to chance to break the game open - go for it! Had no problem using MCNeil there - hit or otherwise. Plus a terrific hitter like MCNeil knows a lousy pitcher that Barnes is. Big Advantage = Mets with MCNeil up.
Nice debate but Guillorme and Nido are backups and the amount of ab s they have had with degrom pitching are quite minimal. If you have Guilkorme and Nido in your lineup consistently - offensive production will be quite limited and hence why they are mediocre players as they are very limited offensively
Went right over your head that the post you replied to was praising the move to pinch hit McNeil huh?
Mets are starting TBA tomorrow, and then coming right back with TBA the next day, on ZERO days rest! Not sure how well that's gonna work.
Kinda sorta. The Blue Jays AAA team is, and will continue to be, the Buffalo Bisons. However, due to COVID the Blue Jays could not get into Canada. Therefore, they played in Buffalo. This meant that the Bisons needed a home, so they moved to Trenton.
The marketing approach of the Thunderous Bison is interesting. At "home" in Trenton, they wear Trenton Thunder uniforms and brand themselves accordingly. However, on the road, they revert to their normal Buffalo Bison branding.
The Blue Jays return to Canada on July 30, and the Thunderous Bison return to Buffalo on August 10. So if you want to see the AAA Trenton Thunder this year (or possibly ever), better hurry!
So are McCann and Villar at this point. You value McCann more because of his salary. He was a backup the last few years until the Mets signed him. If Villar was a starter, why has he moved around from team to team the last few years? You are only as good as your current body of work, and right now, McCann and Villar don't have the stats of Nido and Guillorme.
I'll be in Section 319 tomorrow aft./night,right under what would be the visiting announcers TV booth.
The Braves know that they must take 3,possibly 4 games here to stay in the race.The Phillies will be pulling for them as there are no wild cards for this division,especially with the Padres getting Frazier.
