The O's have come to life, and Mets worst pitcher was out there. AL East and NL West have at least 3 very strong teams. It would be very Mets like to split 4 with the Padres and then lose to the O's.
Every hit by the O's have been rocket shots. Are you sure Pillar would have caught that ball in left? Villar probably needs a new glove on that hot shot at third. 🤬
I think the trade deadline most active divisions will be the NL East and West.
Beyond that every team in the majors have major flaws.
How is Lucchesi given a short leash? Meanwhile, Peterson is allowed to let the game get away before he is removed.
I argued with @yesrutgers01 over Peterson all off-season about how Peterson's numbers last year were smoke and mirrors and how he was due for some hard regression. This isn't a surprise.
On top of that, the lineup seems deflated before the start of the game when Peterson pitches. Also, why does it seem the Mets struggle against pitchers who stink? I'm talking any era north of 4.90+ have owned the Mets.
It’s funny- I was just about to come on and give some props but had forgotten who I debated with.
Looks like you were right on this one...👍
According to Mets.com, Carrasco is due to return late June or early July. However, since he has not begun a rehab assignment, it's doubtful he'll be back before the All Star break.
Here are the projected return dates of the 13 Mets on the IL, per Mets.com
Guillorme - this weekend
Almora - mid-June
McNeil - mid to late June
Conforto - late June
Nimmo - late June / early July
Carrasco - late June or early July
Fargas - late June or July
Martinez - second half of the season
Syndergaard - mid-August at the earliest
Davis, Hunter, Betances, Yamamoto all TBA

It was a torn hamstring. Torn. I was dubious of the claimed earlier return. He’ll be a while.
It's going to take him at least a month to ramp up and get hasn't even started throwing again. All star break at minimum which I even doubt so that's why I said August.
Kind of like DWrights shoulder strain turning out to be spinal stenosis?
Thanks, I was worried that I might not get to see the nearly impossible task of a pitcher throwing 100 pitches in the first inning, but it looks like Peterson will be around for a while longer trying to accomplish that feat.
Basically, our AAAA team lost to a bad Major League team.
it happens.
Lindor, Smith, McCann, Alonso are now hitting, so, I am not going to stress one game.

Peterson gets one more start. If he is ineffective, I doubt he gets a second.
Not a whole lot of replacement options. Thomas Szapucki is the most obvious, as he is pitching well at Syracuse. But he has only thrown 22 innings at the AAA level, and I don't think the Mets want to rush him. Similarly, Tyler Megill was pitching well at AA and just got promoted to AAA. A decent prospect but probably not ready. Franklyn Kilome would be an option but is on the minor league IL. Not sure what's going on with Sean Reid-Phillips, who hasn't been pitching at all, despite the fact he is not on the IL.
That leaves Jerad Eickhoff, a veteran whose ceiling is probably five innings, two or three runs. Maybe the Mets will take that. Beats two innings, four runs. My guess is that he's next man up.
That's basically it. The other two starters, Jesus Reyes and Akeem Bostick, aren't pitching well enough to be in the conversation. One would think that Corey Oswalt would be a consideration, but Syracuse has been using him solely in relief.
Tough day today for Szapucki. 3.2 innings, 5 runs.
On a happier note, Guillorme played nine innings for the first time in his rehab assignment. Mets policy for rehabbing position players is that before you are activated, you must go nine innings back to back. So if all goes well for him tomorrow, he should be activated by the weekend as scheduled.
Almora played five innings which was the plan for him.

The Met injuries this year are the strangest I have ever seen. Almost every one of them progressed nicely until rehab and then almost immediately shut down...something is seriously wrong somewhere. Just never seen anything like this.
I get the impression that the lead doctor has no sports background. Everything is overly cautious as if sports injuries are new to the staff and the training staff follows without questioning a thing. Just sad. 😭
or the opposite...still, no sports history but don't understand they are working with world class athletes that tax their bodies harder that other humans...including those that do not feel baseball players have to do much physically. lol
What I'm starting to notice are teams hitting away from the shift as a way to defeat it. San Diego did it, and now Baltimore is executing it well too.
