I know the answer to that one!

Conforto is playing because the probability that he will get hot and carry the team down the stretch, is greater than that of anyone else the Mets could use in his place.
I got a bridge to sell you. 😜
 
I know the Mets are trying to save the health of their pitchers, but the rest of the team doesn't hit well enough to give away outs.
 
I'm tired of this lame act with the bats, they just tease and never produce.
 
We need the DH desperately. Granted our DH might have struck out or hit into a DP but it would have at least made it interestling

Guy throws a sinker, would not swing at first pitch.
Sure, go down in the count 0-1. That'll help.

Absolutely no problem with Nimmo swinging at the first pitch there. Had a pitch to drive. Didn't drive it. Shit happens.
 
Instead of having the pitcher give away an AB, why not try a squeeze play? The Mets are in need of runs. They play too much by the book, and the book has failed them.

The problem started the AB before that when they gave away an AB. Why are the Mets kicking the can down the road opportunities are never taken advantage of.
 
Ha..Ha..Ha.. been following this sh*t show for 50 yrs or so. Turned the game off. The amount of times this year they have had bases loaded and couldn’t score 1 run! Note to Mgmt: Find players who can perform in pressure situations.

I wonder what happened on the Stroman at bat. He may have chosen to take the first pitch, which was hittable. The second pitch was out of the strike zone and Gibson got the call. Then he got a breaking ball on 0-2 and may have been fooled.

Or maybe he was told not to swing. Or maybe he just decided not to swing. Maybe Rojas will be asked in the post game interview.

Squeeze play with the bases loaded and no out is a BAD play. If the batter misses the ball you've given up an out. Then if the batter proceeds to strike out, you've given up two outs, and you haven't scored. Better to swing away, where a double play at least gets you a run.

Which takes us back to why didn't he swing...

Nobody is gonna ask about an at-bat by a pitcher post-game. Pitchers aren't the ones paid to produce at the plate.

I think it is more along that line of don't swing all for the pitchers' health. Since health has been an issue, I get that, but why not attempt a bunt/squeeze play? The Mets are hard-pressed to score, and you can't let opportunities like this pass you by. Runs are like a bald man. Once it's gone, it's gone forever.

I know a squeeze play with no outs is bad, but this team can't play basic baseball. How many times are you going to leave men in scoring position? See what happens when you let your pitcher help the team. Philly scores another run.

Gotta be honest with you. The police should arrest the batting coach on the charges of stealing. Seriously I get that ultimately it in the hitters to hit? With that said is he teaching them anything? Is he “connecting” with them?
