OT: Official 2021 NY Mets Season Thread

Not open for further replies.
26 for 143 and growing. Last in MLB. The Mets started the night with a 187 average with RISP. As it stands through three innings, it's a 181 average now.
 
Mets are 0-7 tonight with men in scoring position
26 for 147 with RISP.
Mets are the only team NOT to have a come-from-behind win this year. They are 0-7
 
McNeil told on the team. He said the pitcher for the Red Sox threw differently than what the pre-game report stated. Ron Darling said it's great to have the info before the game, but if you can't adjust, it's on the players and coaches. Analysis by paralysis. I'm a believer you have to make someone an example, such as the coaches and a player or two.
 
Just turned on game and checked this thread. Did McCann really give up a two run passed ball? I cannot comprehend how that is even possible.
 
Did they give a reason why Stroman is out of the game?
If JD was running hard out the box on the ground out, he might have beat it out. The ball was stuck in the web of the glove.

Firing Rojas And Chilli Davis should be easy. Neither were Sandy hires. Easy to blame them and find another coach. Only thing is, who can they hire?

Someone needs to clear this up. The Phillies' runner slid late to take out Lindor. I thought that MLB wanted to clean that up. Could the Mets have challenged that play to get the double play?

Rojas doesn’t know what planet he’s on.
 
No guts. I would have punched that POS pitcher for trying to show us up. What a sh*t move. Make the strikeout then walk off the field. Two bonehead moves

I am telling you guys. This is a heartless, gutless team with no leaders and they don’t fight to win. The same story since 2015. The parts are worth much more than the whole team. We could get so much by trading everyone away. Rebuild and be ready in a few years.
 
I’ve never seen batting so inept. It’s remarkable how bad this team is at the plate.

Bunch of Wussies. Phillies with about half their team made asses out of them tonight. Alvarado called out Smith and he just stared at him. Lindor just runs around smiling like a grinning idiot. No balls.

I know we overreact as fans , especially on line, but even Jack rabbits like myself are now correct in saying at least chili needs to be fired. Rojas should look for a realtor because he could be selling his home soon too !!!

1 run in last 25 innings......

Team has played in the 3 best hitting parks to date: Coors; Wrigley and Philly - and still can't do diddly.

Team has no heart; no guts; no inner drive to win......

In my opinion, it's a direct correlation to the stiff / bore they employ as Manager....

How Chili Davis can still be employed after 20 games of this garbage is beyond me......

I also wonder whether the signing of Lindor to the mega bucks had a very detrimental impact to the core of the team.

Great pitching to date gone to hell.........

Sometimes Change is needed and necessary.....and it's time ! Rojas has lost the team and its fanbase and Chili Davis is lost in space.

And Sandy Alderson as well needs to take a lot of blame.......his signings of McCann (in lieu of Realmuto) willleave a lot to be desired.

If I'm the clown Rojas - I sit every regular playing like crap and put in Villar; Guillorme; Nido; Pillar and Almora for Lindor; McNeil; McCann; Smith and Conforto.

The problem with firing guys after 20 games is that you have to replace them with somebody. You wanna fire Chili Davis and promote his assistant, Tom Slater? You can I guess, but I'm not sure what that accomplishes. You're not hiring anyone else worth hiring. Those guys all have jobs.

That said, Rojas may have to fire Davis just to send a message. A message to whom? To the team? Or to Cohen and Alderson, to tell them that he has fixed the problem and everything is under control? I think it would primarily be the latter.
 
Sandy never should have been brought back in the first place and I thought he did a very good job the first time around.
If you believe the reports, Cohen latched on to Sandy because he thought (correctly IMO) that Sandy would provide credibility with the old boys network of owners, which he wished to join. In two ways:
  • Cohen's business ethics were questionable, while Sandy's were impeccable. At the time anyway. The sleaze that allegedly happened on Sandy's watch had not yet come to light.
  • By hiring Sandy, Cohen was sending a signal to the owners that he planned to build a championship team, not buy one.
If that is true, I guess you can make the case that Sandy has done what he was hired to do, and is now expendable. And in fact his business model was to make himself expendable while he eased into retirement. He was going to hire a VP of Baseball Operations who would hire a GM. Problem is, he failed on both counts.

Like Dom pointed out in his post game comments fat ass didn't act like he really wanted to do anything until his teammates got in front of him. And sure Dom just stared at him at first. He was just walking away and was caught off guard by the dude mouthing off over something from more than 2 weeks ago. But we'll see him again. Plenty in fact.
 
It's necessary and justified at this time to minimally fire Davis. This isn't a bad 3-5 game streak. It's been pathetic for the whole damn season to date. Degrom to have have 2 losses and a NO Decision while he is pitching out of this world is a sin and this alone should be a fireable offense.

I could care less who replaces Davis as sometimes change is needed as well as a new outlook to gutter out complacency.

My lineup tomorrow would be as follows:

Nimmo
Villar
Alonso
Davis
Guillorme
Pillar
Almora
Nido
Pitcher

Have the bench play in lieu of the underperformers: McCann; McNeil; Lindor; Conforto and Smith.

Awful lineup but maybe they play their asses off......
