I’d rather a safety cone bat third rather than Maybin or McCant. At least the cone may walk or get hit by a pitch, will never hit into a DP or swing at horrible pitches

Dom is looking around and trying to figure out when he was sent down to the minors. Lol
Five more innings. I think that is all. Davis returns tomorrow. Somebody will have to go, and I think it will be Maybin.
Davis not returning for a few days. Reported neck strain out for the Cuse today and will still need to play a few days there before coming back up
Yesterday Milwaukee released Dee Strange-Gordon, better known as just plain Dee Gordon. Did not DFA him, they flat out released him. I suspect he is reviewing offers. A small amount of guaranteed money, plus an immediate roster spot, should make him a Met. Couldn't be worse than what we got.
Don’t think anyone is pining over him. Just frightening how sad it is that he is a better player than Maynevergetahitagain. At least Hager acted like he wanted to play the game.
Next time anyone spends a Dollar on a lottery ticket and lose ……….you have been Maybined

I don't think Met fans are crying anymore to see Hager in a Mets' uniform as you assigning a roster spot for Dee Gordon.
Here's what I think. Rojas is an inexperienced manager who does not trust his gut. He sticks to the game plan. Yesterday the game plan for Lucchesi was four innings. I am sure the assumption was it would take Lucchesi about 70 pitches to get through four innings. It did not. Rojas chose to stick to the game plan. Not a horrible decision as it turned out, as the bullpen performed reasonably well. What would have happened had Lucchesi stayed in? We will never know.
The game plan for Yamamoto was probably also four innings and Rojas stuck to it. That decision clearly worked as Yamamoto got through the third and fourth innings unscathed.
The question in my mind is: Does Rojas have the authority to trust his gut and stray from the script?
The manager has so very little to do with the success of baseball team but it’s most of what people go on about.
The manager has little to do with the success of a player. This whole thing about them not weighing in on success of the team is BS. His most important job is game management- who he takes out and when. And we have seen it first hand.
now, I do have to be fair- I have NEVER seen injuries like this on a team and somehow still holding onto first.
On the lighter side, the Seattle Mariners' quest to sign every ambulatory ex-Met continues. They just signed Logan Verrett off the roster of the independent Cleburne Railroaders.
Eric Campbell, who had last played in the majors in 2016, is on their active roster.
Once the game got to 5-0 yesterday they may as well have enacted the mercy rule. No way we were gonna score 5 runs. Now back home but only for a short stay before it's back out on the road. Rockies and then the hated Braves who got fat on the Pirates over the weekend. Desperately need to start getting some players back on the field. Of course Jake returns tomorrow but that won't do much good if we can't score more than a run or two. Tonight's starting pitcher is the now all too familiar TBD.
3 runs is pretty much the mercy rule for us right now. Other team scores 3 and we will lose.

The sad thing is this may be their strongest possible lineup right now. Against a lefthander that is. Against a righty, I'd be inclined to give Mazeika a start at 1B.

Yeah they've updated it now. Never know what you're gonna get from Peterson, but we need to find a way to win no less than 3 of 4 in this Colorado series.
These guys need to figure out how to be within 2 or 3 by mid June
What the Mets need to figure out is to go back to the basics/fundies. I know folks throw out data about analytics being the way the game is played, but when you can't even execute that, then what? Look at what this team has and build on that. This is a fast team that can't drive home runs but can run. Go back to small ball. Bunt, steal, execute a sacrifice, hit & run, among the little things you can do to try to jump-start the offense.
The Mets need to take a long hard look in the mirror at themselves and be honest. I Listen to Rojas and the acting GM Scott, and neither are truthful with what they are doing to help the players correct some of the problems.
Sandy Alderson will never allow this to happen, esp since Chilli Davis was fired because he wasn’t a fan of Analytics. REMEMBER the Mets were a decent hitting team last year as Davis being the hitting coach (and Sandy not around)... 🤔🤔🤔
That's why I said the Mets leadership would never be truthful with themselves. They will impact the team more so than the team being completely healthy.
den Dekker and Louwenhouse (whatever tf his name was) would be all stars with this group.
Every ball the Rockies have made contact has been hard.
Can someone find out about the shift and its impact on double plays? I know the announcers keep saying "runs save" with the shift put them 3rd in the league, but there are times where the Mets need a double play, and the shift prevents it.
