OT: Official 2022 NY Mets Season And Post Season Thread

[redking]

Megill was a plesant surprise in April and contributed to the Mets great start of the season. But he's showing me nothing as a reliever.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Yep. Ruf can be DFAd - never want to see him in a Mets uni again.

I doubt they DFA him now. They'll just let him chill on the IL. Then in the off-season, they'll see if they have room for him on the 40 man.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

I hope Nido starts again tomorrow.

 

[hinson32]

Does anyone really expect NY to win the division?

I do. Essentially they win as long as they don't get swept in Atlanta.

 

[hinson32]

Degrom was so friggen great when he was good. Best there ever was.
Too bad the Mets wasted those years and now he’s seemingly ordinary

Stop.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Megill was a plesant surprise in April and contributed to the Mets great start of the season. But he's showing me nothing as a reliever.

He also looks about 15 pounds heavier.

 

[Doctor Worm]

I will say this. Alvarez may be 0 for 3, but he does not at all look overmatched out there. Tiny sample, but it looks like he belongs.

OK that time he did look overmatched.

 

[gmay8]

You have to pinch hit vogey there. You just need to. Managing malpractice to leave a 20 year old in in this setting

 

[shields]

Not Buck's best game.

 

[FrankZ]

Naquin?

 

[robjknight]

Alvarez with 6 left on base. Just the wrong game to make his debut. Why not use Vogelbach???

 

[gmay8]

Horrendous managing by buck.
-degrom only 6 innings/86 pitches
- Megill shouldn’t have come in at all
- Alvarez in two at bats too long against a righty

Need max tomorrow, but more than anything need 5+ runs

 

[Mr Magoo]

Not Buck's best game.

Nope. Throwing Alvarez in like this and batting Canha cleanup?

Guess Buck was trying to give the kid valuable experience there. Agreed not sure it's the right time. I'm sure he'll have to answer to it postgame.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Naquin is a bum. Terrible swings every AB.
Had no issue with Alvarez up with bases loaded. He will be on post season roster so give him the experience. He was way too hyped for the AB. Unlike Naquin he’s not afraid at the plate.
The issue was Met Management not bringing Alvarez up sooner while languishing with Ruf.
Megill doesn’t stink it up and that whole 9th inning may have been different story.

Need to come out and score early. And not just a single run.

Jansen is not the pitcher he was in the past but not an easy guy to face if you haven't seen him before with that herky-jerky motion. Given that I thought Naquin battled.

 

[Knight Shift]

Pete Alonso can swing at the first pitch whenever he wants.

Sometimes the pitcher wins. Actually, a lot of the times the pitcher wins.

If it was Vogelbach not swinging at the first pitch, there would be multiple complaints. Tough crowd.

 

[Knight Shift]

Yep. Ruf can be DFAd - never want to see him in a Mets uni again.

Lol.

 

[Knight Shift]

Sorry, I provided no context. I was commenting on the decision to let Alvarez hit against a nasty righthander. Would have used Vogelbach or Naquin.

Exactly. He looked overmatched.

A possible reason why Alvarez wasn't brought up sooner was that he missed three weeks with an injury, which slowed his development.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Exactly. He looked overmatched.

He didn't against Iglesias. He did against Jansen.

deGrom developed a blister, that is why he left the game.

Vogelbach!!!!

 

[RUforJERSEY]

There was a brisk wind blowing out to left earlier, but it's kind of calmed down now.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Leaving it all on the pitcher. Once again.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Lack of Offense and Clutch Hitting is quite concerning. Had a chance in first inning and scoring only 1 run may come back to haunt us. Lord we miss Marte !

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Maybe after 3rd arrest the Braves will cut Ozuna

I really thought the hitters would come out the gate blazing knowing how crucial this one is. Same old so far.

 

[gmay8]

The Mets and Rutgers are painfully similar. Somewhat ok defense (pitching) but the most painful plodding awful offense out there. It’s been this way for so long.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Bases loaded in 9th inning last night and bases loaded in 1st inning tonight and we only scored 1 run total. Offense has been lethargic for too long and At worst times

 

[JFK20]

****

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Friggin check swing bloop and a blast. And they tried to say we were lucky.

 

[gmay8]

It all comes back to offense. We have none. They do. Pitchers are great. Need to hit the ball and get people across that odd shaped base near the catcher.

 

[Knight Shift]

Stupid move to bat Alvarez for Vogelbach.

Pitchers are great?

Inability to string hits together to keep the line moving. And the lineup has no length to it at all right now. And still the glaring lack of long balls. Home runs do matter.

Carrying dead weight matters too.

Tip of the hat to the Braves
