Such an inexcusable swing. Just horrible - take it and run. +4.5

How about the rest of the game. He let two other pitches get by him and sucked at the plate. They should have brought him back for the Reds series.
MLB Network said Buck did the right by going for the knockout in game one. Set the tone.
I agree 110%
Needed you guys today big time after we dropped our afternoon game. Thank you Buck!
Not a fan of the 2 inning save but I ll take it especially given it will be necessary for playoffs. Sucks to lose Diaz for tomorrow and it would have been nice to have Robertson for tomorrow as stopper or for 8th inning tonight. Oh well. We won! LGM!
Mets fans have a knack for focusing on all the negatives and nitpicking guys to death. Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch. Not necessarily you. But it gets old fast.
Two wild pitches and one passed ball. You have no idea if Nido or Mazeika would have blocked any of those. Mets won. Celebrate.
I’m going to Saturday night game. Does anyone know if Scherzer or Peterson is pitching that game ? I Hope Scherzer
Neither Nido nor Mazeika have had a game like McCann had tonight. We all know none of them can hit, so the least you can do is play solid defense. We didn't get that from McCann, and it could have cost the Mets the game. That is why folks are frustrated.
Games against Atlanta are important.
They won in spite of him. He very well could have cost us the game. Just because we got away with his sloppy defense tonight does not mean we will be that lucky again.
According to ESPN, Scherzer is game one, and Peterson is game two.
SNY was showing a battle of the Max's in the 1st game. Peterson was in the nightcap. Obviously that could change.
Any good coach will tell you that he expects to win. What's important is to clean up mistakes that may cost you down the road.
Straight up- been saying it all day- game one was crucial. Glad Buck saw it this way too
Diaz- up to this point , our MVP
BOOM-enjoy! We did what was needed - AGAIN
mat the end of this series, we are in first place
yes, wish we had a guy that we could be confident with in the 9th and a small lead tomorrow so, let’s just score some runs.

Lugo has been pitching much better so hopefully he can step up to close tomorrow if needed.
Or better yet, hopefully we crush Anderson tomorrow and we win in a rout!
Did not see game and cannot address specifics. But I will note that any ball that hits the dirt before reaching the catcher is a potential wild pitch, even though a quality catcher is expected to prevent a lot of them.
I'm anxious to see how Megill fares when he comes back as a reliever. He could be a wild card with his power arm as a single inning guy late in games. I don't recall him starting too many games where he hasn't come out blazing. His problems when they have come have usually been in the middle innings. He could come in and blow guys away for an inning. Question then becomes how often could he pitch.
McCann's first game he has started since July 7, and people are freaking out and calling for him to be DFA'd for Mazeika is comical. Cut the guy some slack after a long pause after being injured. Somebody could have asked Buck about why he started McCann in such a critical game. Nobody did. Nido can't catch every day.
Only one was a passed ball. The other two McCant should be a routine play of "CATCHING THE DAMN BALL." McCant had another pitch pop out of his glove.
For better or worse, we are stuck with McCann at least for this year. My only hope is that if the rest of the lineup plays well, then the pressure will be off McCann and he can become closer to an average hitter with some power.
Tomas Nido: - 0.5 WAR in 68 games. That’s NEGATIVE 0.5
James McCann: 0.2 WAR in 31 games.
Pat Mazeika: - 0.1 WAR in 24 games. Negative again
James McCann: 0.2 WAR in 31 games.
Pat Mazeika: - 0.1 WAR in 24 games. Negative again
I will go with who do the pitchers feel best with. Enough bats (thankfully) to carry weak hitting catchers

Although I don’t have the numbers to prove it, I feel that Nido has been better in recent weeks. The “eyeball test” has Nido over McCann easily in my book. As far as Mets catchers are concerned, in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
i dont think any of them hit week. more like month. Autocorrect is correct sometimes.

He was clearly not ready to play and he should not have played. He also cannot hit and has never hit here in NYC. Nido would have stopped two of the three balls that got past McCann. He should be DFA'd and let's take our chances with Alvarez and Nido.
Yesterday Eppler said that Alvarez would not be called up "in the immediate future". We can interpret that as we wish.
Which honestly makes no sense since IIRC Conforto was called up in 2015 during a pennant race and played in 56 games down the stretch giving the team a spark.
There's a world of difference between Conforto and Alvarez though. Mainly the positions they play.
