Going 1-23 with RISP in April and May didn’t matter.
Being asleep and having the mindset that games don’t REALLY matter until after the all star break. (Dom’s words not mine )

Baez was going to slide and stopped and now he’s hurt
just an FYI. And I’m sorry to annoy some ....
2-0 slider 7 inches off the plate and low with the pitcher having no idea where home plate is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the remainder of the year keep an eye on ....,,
How many times a met swings at a pitch 4 plus inches high, low , and/or outside-inside ...then stares at next pitch directly down middle of the plate
they depend too much on reports and guess way too much
They also have in their mind they are swinging and end up swinging at pitches that almost hit them , bounce before the plate ,or are 5 inches off the plate
btw I’m not wrong They are the worst scoring team in the league
and I’m getting nervous that the owner is a fanboy and his team can do no wrong

They needed a pitcher and got the league strikeout leader instead and bat him cleanup in one of the worst lineups in the NL. Very Wilponian.
12-41 this season when scoring 3 or fewer runs. I'm not trying to be funny, but this is how I feel.

Beware of the whiner who's always whining about people whining in this thread.
This is on everyone in the front office. Every one of them should be fired for not getting what they needed the most… and even blowing their wad on their draft pick.
I recall Zach Scott addressing the first point. He claimed that when they got deGrom's adverse medical results on Friday, there were only a couple of hours before the 4:00 deadline. By that time it was too late to pivot. A couple of guys whom they might have pressed harder for were already gone.
This is probably rebuttable. I'm just relaying what he said.
If you want to fire everyone, have at it. Front offices are overrated. Can't acquire any new players until next season anyway.
HOWEVER. I think the Rocker draft debacle was simply a case of "shit happens". Rocker refused to take a pre-draft medical. Based on the information available at the time, Mets took what I consider a prudent risk and drafted him. He then took his mandatory post-draft physical and the Mets saw something they didn't like. We'll never know what, nor should we. But it must have been pretty bad, or at least PERCEIVED to be pretty bad. The Mets pulled their offer, and here we are. They expect to get the 11th pick next year in addition to their own.
The only criticism I have, which several of us have pointed out, is that they didn't use their 20th pick (who is very unlikely to ever be heard from again anyway) on some high school hotshot who was undrafted because he is going to college. Just as a Plan B in case the Rocker deal falls through, which it did. The Mets could then channel the Rocker money his way.
This means that Robert Moses built Shea Stadium (and later on Citi Field) on an old burial ground
You have to be sheeting us.
He was 3-11 as a Met over 3 seasons, posting ERAs of 7.88, 12.79, and 6.59. He's feasted on crap teams and gotten lit up by decent teams.
BTW, blame @Doctor Worm for the above post?

Was counting the seconds until you chimed in. :) Happy to help. You may rest assured that I'll be here to offer counsel anytime anyone brings up that OTHER Brodie trade - the one where we gave up Bruce, Swarzak, and a couple of minor leaguers. My message: Let it go! Look to the future! I...

Can't yell at BVW or the Wilpons because they don't address the media too often. Media is going to ask the question to Callaway. But the fans, like us discussing it here, should be able to see what is going on. Really it's amazing how bad BVW's offseason moves were. Diaz Familia Cano and...

Dump Gagnon. Pounders is solid so far. Give him more innings.They're all solid for a time or two.

He can at least run “full” speed to first base, something many of our Mets are struggling to do😎You have to be sheeting us.

Holy crap, you really put in a lot of research to make a point, lmfao. I get it, zero complaining even if it was just an observation. If you check out most of my posts, I really don't complain, mostly "root" for the Mets since I was old enough to know baseball in my 66 years. PS. If you go back to 2019 though like you did on @Doctor Worm, I'm sure you could build a case against me. 😁You have to be sheeting us.

Hey, my post got two likes. So there.
I don't think the Mets dropped the ball on Flexen. He was in poor physical condition on the Mets. He has since dropped 50 pounds and gotten his mind right. He pretty much acknowledged that he probably needed to get out of NY. His year in Korea was no doubt the best thing for him.

He’s back in the big leagues with a new body and outlook. Meet Chris Flexen, the mystery man in the Mariners’ rotation
Former Mets prospect Chris Flexen, who will be part of the Mariners' starting rotation, has undergone an extreme physical makeover (dropping 50 pounds), a mental awakening and has made a key adjustment in his pitch selection.

Flexen had to change his whole approach and leave countries to get where he is now!Can't blame them for that.
Look at what Sewald is doing for Seattle as well. Dominant bullpen arm this year!!

I mentioned this yesterday. He's on the Covid IL but not sure if positive or not yet.
Not zero complaining. I'm about to hit the panic and/or eject button on the season. :flush:
They need to start scoring more than 2-3 runs per game. Duh.
The SNY crew after the game was hilarious. Recker was like:
The takeaway is that the Mets should pay to send Bartolo to Korea to drop some weight. . . .Hey, my post got two likes. So there.
