OT: Official 2022 NY Mets Season And Post Season Thread

[Doctor Worm]

Transactions du jour:

Scherzer to IL (you already knew that)

Veteran lefty Alex Claudio called up. He will get a shot at the "second lefty in the pen" role. He follows in the footsteps of Chasen Shreve, Thomas Szapucki, Sam Clay, Rob Zastryzny, and Nate Fisher.

Yoan Lopez returns for the day as 29th man.

Medina DFA'd.

Seems like they expended a lot of energy in the Dodgers series and just don't have much left in the tank right now. We're an older team so it is sort of expected to dip as season has gone on. I am not too concerned and it's going to be a fight with the Braves for the division until the season ends. We'll have a series with them that will probably decide it.

We need Alonso and Lindor to get back on track and then the offense should start to look good again. We're getting no production out of DH so those moves are not looking great. C still a black hole and RP depth a concern. This is what we were saying at the trade deadline and it still rings true today. It's still a very good team and they'll turn this around with hopefully a double header sweep today with Bassitt/deGrom going.

Agreed.

Fan frustration is deserved after this performance the last few days against horrific WAS and PIT. I’m not one to blow sunshine when it isn’t warranted either.

For the record, I ain't blowing sunshine, but I certainly ain't throwing in the towel. Maybe it's the firefighter in me that would never drive up to a house on fire and conclude that there is nothing that could be done. At my regular job, we have a saying when we have to achieve a result for a client--play the hand you are dealt, not matter how bad it is. We don't fold easily.

And sorry if I triggered anyone, but posts such as the season is over are absolutely overly dramatic and unwarranted.

I've felt that McNeil has been too far down in the batting order all year. My take has always been that the main importance of where you are in the batting order is how often you get to bat. The closer you are to leadoff, the more you get at bats. The farther, the opposite. McNeil gets hits and gets on base. I'd prefer that he be near the top or the order, not 5 or 6. Or even 4 like today.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

2nd and 3rd no outs you expect to get 2 in many instances. Ground ball to the right side you score one and advance another. Then the fly ball nets another run. Strikeout is the worst thing. Team was much better at situational baseball earlier in the season. Putting ball in play for even productive outs etc.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

I guess its a bullpen game for Pittsburgh. New pitcher after one inning.

 

[tico brown]

Anything less than 2 from PIT today is unacceptable. Wake tf up.

You've already given your opinion. The season is over. Therefore, the losing streak is over, no?🙂

Yeah because your opinion and yours alone is the only one that counts in this thread?

Think you take some of this stuff too personally. We are all Mets fans.

Can someone show some love for Vogelbach and Naquin, who have been much maligned? Naquin saved Vogey from having to run the bases!!!!

I think Vogey would beat Nido in a footrace.

Mets really need to build up their minor league pitching in the next draft. Any word on the return dates for Drew Smith, May and Megill?

Thank you. If the Mets re-sign Jake and invest 45 million per for him and have 43 million tied up in Max, they may need to seriously consider a 6 man rotation for the entire year to keep those guys fresh. Max seems to have worn down at the end of last season and now this setback.

I would estimate that 12-15 of their picks in this year's draft were pitchers.

You... you're good.

13 of the 22 picks were pitchers. One (their third round pick) was unsigned. As a result they will get an extra third round pick next year.

The flip side is that in the first five rounds, they only signed one pitcher - second rounder Blade Tidwell.

Back in sole possession of 1st place! Hopefully to stay.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Mets have gone all season without a four game losing streak. That remains intact.

 

[Zak57]

Exactly what the doctor ordered. Let Jake shut them down and hope the bats continue to find some rhythm.

 

[MadRU]

Bassitt the stopper

 

[FrankZ]

Thank you Bassitt!

 

[RUforJERSEY]

A's jump out 2-0 in the 1st on Scaramouche Strider.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Same lineup and batting order in Game 2, except for McCann in, Nido out.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Oakland has surrendered their lead. 2-2 bottom 5th

 

[RU-05]

Bassitt the stopper

The clear #3 at this point?

Getting through the early game using only 2 pitchers was key, put us in a very nice position for tonight's game.

 

[MadRU]

Braves go ahead, no help from the As

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Wife beating , DUI getting Ozuna with a big hit two games in a row

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Braves go ahead, no help from the As

As expected. The A's, Nats and Pirates are just terrible teams. Like expansion team bad. This second game is just that much bigger. Hopefully the Braves are done in Oakland and moving on to Seattle and San Francisco where they stand a much better chance of losing some games.

 

[MadRU]

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Home plate ump must close his eyes whenever a pitch is coming in. He's terrible.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Rest of season……+ .5

Exactly what we wanted to see today!!

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Gary said the Braves are 64-24 since __???

That’s insane

 

[Zak57]

Partial non-displaced fracture of Marte's middle finger and is considered day to day.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Gary said the Braves are 64-24 since __???

That’s insane

Since June 1, when they were 24-27.

 

[Knight Shift]

That’s insane

Since June 1, when they were 24-27.

And Mets and Braves are only teams that have not lost more than 3 in a row.

Hard to keep that pace. I still like the Mets' chances

 

[Doctor Worm]

Megill with another perfect inning (1K) at Syracuse tonight.

 

[redking]

Where was this offense the past three games???

 

[Knight Shift]

Where was this offense the past three games???

Resting up. Someone said it above-perhaps the Dodgers series wore them down.
Alonso with 2 hits.
Lindor with 2 hits and 3 RBIs
McNeil with 3 hits and 2 RBIs.
Canha with 2 hits and an RBI
Naquin with 2 hits and an RBI
Escobar-4 hits and 1 BRI.
McCann with a hit, 2 walks, 2 runs. He's above .200!!!!!
