Wasn’t that stretch a weak schedule? Or do you think they’re actually good enough to keep pace with the Mets?

They seemingly played the Nats every game, but I’m not one to discount the Braves
What's clear now is that there will be no big splash move for a bat like Josh Bell or Tray Mancini coming. I would look our for someone like a Brandon Drury or similar. Not that that's bad but just maybe not what he had hoped for. I think there will be some bullpen moves. I think we have a good chance to land David Robertson for one.
Why do you say that? I disagree. There will be another trade for a proven bat. Team has to.
Cause you don't trade for left-handed DH if you are planning on a Josh Bell who is a switch hitter. And Mancini is not the kind of hitter you platoon. Drury is the kind of level they'll be looking at. That and maybe a C.J. Cron who is formidable. At least when playing at home at Coors Field.
Blue jays have 25 runs in top of the 5th
We can’t get 2 hits in an inning
Another we stink trade everyone night
Tomorrow could be this lineup is unstoppable and we just need another bullpen arm

Need to find a,way to win thess next two games. Cause we know what Atlanta is going to do to Anaheim. If they couldn't win with Ohtani pitching they're not going to.
Love that stadium in Lakewood. Dropping my son off at a marina in Brick early tomorrow and drive by it, but with temps high 90's both Saturday and Sunday, I think I'll just head straight to Avon by the Sea. Saw Brooklyn play there twice last season.
Gotta feel sorry for Travis Blankenhorn. I am sure he was SO excited about getting his call up yesterday and being in the starting lineup! Then even before first pitch, he learns that the Mets have already acquired his replacement. A quick 0 for 3, and DFA'd today.
At least he got to spend one day with a real major leaguer's number 27, as opposed to last year's 73.

One more thought on the Vogelbach trade if I may. Two words - Seller's Market. Eppler admitted that he did not want to give up Holderman, and had made various other proposals to the Pirates. The Pirates said it's Holderman or no deal. Eppler knew the Pirates had other potential suitors, so he bit the bullet.
Vogelbach was attractive to multiple contenders, especially the low budget ones, because he was cheap and controllable.
In isolation, I don't love the trade. But I am pretty sure the Mets are not done dealing. The fair thing to do is wait until after August 2, and then evaluate the totality of the deals.
BTW - Andy Martino says the Mets are still in it with the Nats on Josh Bell. So we'll see.

Everyone is saying Josh Bell to the Astros.
Why would the Nats send anyone to help the Mets?
Tonight is a big game for you guys. Snell has had a really rough start this season, but his last two outings he looked like he was returning to form.
You won’t get to Musgrove tomorrow so if you’re winning tomorrow it’s happening in the 8th or 9th.
This is a game Bassitt has to show up and shut down an inferior Padres lineup IMO

Who do we get to? Most of our losses can be pinned on one main thing. Occasionally the pen let's one get away late.
Because Bell is a two month rental, and all the Nats care about is who is making the best offer.
Soto? That's another story.
I mean batting average wise you guys have a significantly better 1-9 than us. Our lineup is kinda rough and in desperate need of Tatis returning + another bat. Would love Soto, but I think there are a couple options out there (Cubbies) to improve our lineup.
Also I didn’t realize it, but Hosmer is batting like .310 against Scherzer for his career which is insane to think about.
This is a playoff series getting played in late July, it’s going to come down to pitching at the end of the day.
Darvish pitched better than Scherzer last night. Two solid teams going at it, and if I’m a Met fan I’m saying tonight is the night you have to win.
As a Padre fan, this is a really really big night for Snell. The kind of game that will determine if he’s getting starts in the playoffs IMO.
That’s fair. Yeah Soto I think both NY teams have no shot at tbh.
They wouldn’t trade him in the division to you guys and I don’t think the Yanks have the prospects to get him.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t even get traded this year.
Do not get caught up on Vogelbach's overall BA. Focus solely on his RHP split, since those are the only AB's he will get. In 2022 his OPS against righties is .892. That is really good. Regardless of body type.
Not for Holderman though. I think they could have gotten him in a week for less.
Maybe. Or maybe Pittsburgh moves on and trades him elsewhere. Whether that would have been an acceptable outcome, is a matter of opinion. Obviously to Eppler, it was not.
You beat me to it. One thing for sure when he gets one they're usually no-doubters.
Well its just another thrill a minute Mets game. Fantastic starting pitching. Yet nothing to show for it. It's like the games are written from a script. This inning we'll pop out, ground out and flyout. Next inning we'll walk, get a hit then strikeout and ground out twice.
I went for my sons 5th bday last night with some friends and family. He got to throw out a first pitch. Was an awesome environment. Minor league baseball is a blast.
Padres lead 2-0 after the third strike for the third out is not called.
This ump has been all over the place tonight.

Sadly that one mistake pitch might be enough to lose this game because the pitchers have zero margin for error. Basically need to give up nothing. As in
NO runs.
NO runs.
