OT: Official 2022 NY Mets Season And Post Season Thread

I’ve been on record saying Vogelbach and Ruf were great pickups. I’ve actually been more bullish on them vs many of the Met fans in here lol.
Musgrove has been pitching like our #3 guy lately tbh.
Agreed there’s a difference in regular season vs post season. Hence why I’m not worried about the Dodgers :).
We’ll see what happens, lots of baseball to be played. Again, I’ve been extremely high on the Mets, more so than lots of fans in here who were having a meltdown at the ASB.
I just think the NL is so loaded right now, it’s simply going to be all about who gets hot in October.
Every single team is a threat outside of the #3 NL East team and the #2 NL Central team. JMO.
We can argue this once we know f we are facing one another in the playoffs. Until then it is irrelevant. Last year both the Mets and Padres faded down the stretch and did not make the post season. Let's both get in the playoffs first.
I will say it here first- if we are in the playoffs and Max or deGrom throw 7 innings of their type of dominance- the roar from the crowd when they walk off the field will be the loudest a stadium will have been this year- well, until the start of the 9th when trumpets are playing- house will go from shaking to full blown 8 on the Richter scale. lol
Now for immediate business at hand- I only hope that our guys don't have their eyes on the games after Cincy. Because it is going to be a hell of a couple weeks with nothing but Phillies/Atl/Yankees.
It is kind of like playing Temple the week before you know you have OSU/Mich/PSU coming up.

The Cincy lineup would make Mario Mendoza look like Rod Carew. A lot of guys hitting below .200.
Tonight could be interesting with Dunn pitching for Reds:
It will be Dunn's first start in the big leagues since June 17, 2021, for Seattle against the Rays.
"Dunn, 26, completed a rehab assignment with High-A Dayton and Louisville, where he made six starts before being optioned on July 24. Overall at Louisville in seven starts, Dunn is 0-3 with a 6.92 ERA with 31 hits, 16 walks and 23 strikeouts over 26 innings."
Dunn ready for 1st start since June 2021
MILWAUKEE -- Even though they knew he was still working his way back from a 2021 shoulder injury, the Reds wanted right-handed pitcher Justin Dunn to be part of the March trade that sent Jesse Winker and Eugenio Suárez to the Mariners. Dunn will finally get to make his Reds

Reds are 16-9 in last 25 with
FIVE players hitting under 200 in tonight’s lineup including the last 4 batters

The Reds are not a bad team, but let's not make them out to be a playoff team. Outside of Milwaukee, Yankees, and Stl Louis, they have played mostly sub .500 teams during that stretch.
Win tonight and rest Lindor, Marte and Pete tomorrow. Let's have everyone fresh for the Phils. Pete looked tired last night and we have been playing a lot of games in the midst of a heatwave.
LHP tonight 1-8 6.19 era

Marte
Lindor

My 5 year old is a massive Alonso fan, wears the jersey, watches every at bat (while he's still awake) wakes up first thing and asks how the Mets and Alonso did the night before...
I'm taking him to the day game Wednesday. I really really hope they don't rest Pete, I paid extra for first base side seats so we can see him in the field. That said, it makes all the sense in the world for them to sit him Wednesday with the off day Thursday.
one of the big 3 should DH. I'm thinking that with Pete DH'ing today, he gets the day off. And then we either put Marte or Lindor as DH and I prefer Lindor as Marte still seems to be not 100%.
And this ability is really showing we did some great moves at the deadline with Naquin, Ruf and Vogey
I hope for your son's sake they rest Pete tonight and play him Wednesday. Enjoy the game!
I think that high ranking of the Mets farm system may be a function of its lack of MLB-ready talent over the last couple of years. Nobody has "graduated" recently. For example, Alvarez started the year as the #8 prospect on MLB Pipeline, and now he is #1 - because the seven ahead of him are all in the majors and have exhausted their rookie status.
What? The Dodgers own the Padres. Every time I watch a Dodger game in Petco, I see more blue in the stands. As for the Dodgers only winning in the regular season, they do have three trips to the World Series and a title. What NL teams have been better over the past decade?
COVID year absolutely does not count. Even my Dodger fans know this to be true.
Insanely shortened season and no home field advantage of any kind.
Yes, Doyer fans do well at Petco during the regular season. This won’t be the case in the playoffs. Honestly you’d see Padre fans at Dodger stadium if it weren’t legitimately dangerous to do so. But that’s another story.
All of my Dodger friends are worried about the playoffs this year. Most people see a 110 win team, but they see a shaky rotation battling injuries that won’t hold up in the post season.
We’ll see what happens, I think when you get to the playoffs a lot of this stuff goes out the window.
Dang- I believe this is what would be considered Fan Theory
Really not based on fact but more on hope :)
And I hope you are right because I would much rather face SD than LA in the NLCS...just saying
I stopped reading your post right there.
COVID year absolutely does count for the Dodgers (and I am hardly a fan of theirs). In fact you could say it should count extra because of the expanded playoffs. Despite having the best record in all of baseball, the Dodgers had to go through FOUR rounds of playoffs to win the title. That is a gauntlet that no first place team has had to run before or since.
Now if the Dodgers had sneaked into the playoffs as an eight seed with a below .500 record, and then gone on an insane postseason run, you could I guess claim their title lacked validity. But they didn't, and you can't.
It does count because every other team in MLB played by the same rules as the Dodgers. They played better than everyone else that year.
The Mets were idiots for not making that 8 team playoff that year.
Wrong. If you read the article it mentioned that a big factor in the Mets climb was the draft haul they just had. Even without unfortunately not having signed their 3rd round pick.
Yes. I agree that is a factor. Another factor is that over the last couple of years, none of their top prospects have graduated. I stand by my post.
What's this about? Language NSFW (bad words). Canha just made a nice play at the wall.
