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.
The Philles did it twice yesterday successfully. One a hit and run

The Mets are slapping Harvey up the middle in the third inning instead of trying to pull everything. See what happens when you hit where the pitches are?
 
Will always wonder if Collins told Harvey the 9th is yours right away would things have been different .
Matt had to argue and get all worked up to get the 9th. If he was met on top step and asked “you want it ?” And he said F- yeah and sat down and went into his zone

Unless you think that pitching to those two batters in the ninth somehow caused his Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, then no.
 
To the bad penny, not everything is a reference to you. The moronic statement that lead to a Yankee jinx was by this guy.

Once again:

NL East = Garbage (worst division in baseball. The Mush hasn't talked Yankee baseball since that statement, lol. Too worried about what we're doing.

If Baltimore DFA'd Harvey, should the Mets go after him? Darling pointed out how Harvey made changes to his delivery, which has impacted his ability to pitch successfully. He still has nice velo on hit pitches, and he can't be any worse than Peterson. I'm looking at from that standpoint of Mets need starters over the next month.

No he's toast.
 
I meant would he have pitched better and got the complete game shutout.
Gotcha. I guess we'll never know. I look back at that one differently - what if Collins had stuck to his guns and given Familia a clean inning with a two run lead.

If Duda had made a good throw to the plate, then it's all moot.

I would not claim him on waivers. That would mean protecting him on the 40 man.

If he clears waivers, which I think he would, then I wouldn't be opposed to signing him to a minor league contract and letting him try to figure it out in Syracuse.

But to your point, yes he can be worse than Peterson. Has he not proven that?

McKinney is doing his best to stay with the Mets. I don't think the Mets are going to rush Conforto back.

Harvey and Peterson is a photo finish if you truly compare the trash both bring to the table. 🤣

It wasn't so much about Harvey as I'm tired of Peterson. I thought, why not try something different.

I understand but I don't see any upside with Harvey. I'd go Sean Reid Foley, Szapucki, Eickhoff before him. Maybe if Megill who has been pitching well in the minors so far.

My biggest organizational head scratcher is why aren't the Mets stretching Reid-Foley out in Syracuse. He should be starting every fifth day. Instead they have a couple of organizational depth guys at the back of the rotation.

If he keeps this up move him to center when Conforto comes back. Let him have CF next year if Nimmo walks. More power and better defense.

No. Ship has sailed
 
Okay everyone put your GM hats on for a second. BTW Kudos to the Mets interim GM Scott, but I digress. So back to my question. What do you do when Almora returns and then when Conforto and Nimmo come back in about the next 4 weeks or so? Especially with McKinney? Surely Williams goes first in favor of Almora but then what? Same question for when McNeil is back in a week or so.

Guillorme up = Blankenhorn down
Almora up = Williams down
McNeil up = Drury down
Conforto up = Almora down
Nimmo up = maybe carry an extra bench player and go with 13 pitchers?

Almora has option left and Mason doesn't. They probably keep Mason up for now. Peraza probably gets sent down at some point as well.
 
Not for nothing but we may have a damn good team- 3 starters that are mostly lights out, Luchessi who can give us 4 innings...mostly good bullpen and a bench that will be dangerous when fully healthy.
we get to the playoffs where it is all about 3 starters...we could make a huge run

And PS my thx to Walker. Stud
This is what sucks with the Carasco injury...I think www oils be seeing the same with him.
Walker does make it easy on the Mets with Noah- offer him a very team friendly 2/3 year contract.
