OT: Official 2022 NY Mets Season And Post Season Thread

I can’t believe I missed this, but this is an absolute bananas take.
Umm, with our top 3 pitchers out, that's kind of difficult.
Thanks for the reality check @cubuffsdoug .
Meanwhile, considering who has been missing from Mets lineup:
Lol that’s why I’m saying splitting is impressive. Although I would have preferred you guys sweep them for us 😃
After a rough night with injuries, back on the optimism train:
I guess Dom will be back, probably on a plane as we speak. McNeil everyday LF, Guillorme everyday 2B.
Who was Buck referring to when he said postgame that we have some guys here already to go? Taxi squad guys he said.
Khalil Lee not in the Cuse lineup today so he could be on way to SD. Dom Smith is in lineup so perhaps some good news for Pete.
I'd seen predictions before the season that the Mets would lead the league in being HBP. We added two of the top 15 HBP batters, Canha nd Marte. And we already had a couple.
Mets sign veteran speedster Terrence Gore to a minor league contract. Gore has more WS championship rings (3) than WS appearances (1) - which is also his career RBI total.
A very strange career stat line:
102 games
67 AB's
32 runs
15 hits
40 stolen bases
1 RBI

Why is it a bananas take? We are the better team in almost every single stat. Even the pitching matchup actually favored us...Just saying
IMO this decision confirms that the Mets have given up on Dom as an outfielder, where he has not appeared at all this year.
Didn't Dom have better metrics than any of the outfielders last year? Was he really that bad?
Dom inproved from really bad to just plain below average. His annualized Defensive Runs Saved total, relative to league average, was minus seven.
I mean I think your schedule has been relatively easier, but I guess that’s just an opinion.
Also Darvish is light years ahead of Walker. Yu had a game he got lit up vs the Giants early in the year that has inflated his numbers. Also he normally goes late in games and gives up a couple hits and our bullpen can’t get out of a jam so he’s on the hook for base runners.
I’m not saying this Padres team is loaded, but IMO is the best starting rotation in baseball that’s been winning close games with defense. Tatis coming back is going to make this team a legit World Series contender.
Musgrove (Cy Young candidate)
Mackenzie Gore (ROY candidate)
Yu Darvish (former Cy Young runner up)
Blake Snell (former Cy Young winner)
Sean Manaea - strikeout guy who you’ll see tonight
Then we have Clevinger and Morejon (young guy that finished the game last night)
You don’t win in the playoffs with the bat, you win with defense and pitching.
I believe the Padres starting pitchers have the most combined quality starts in MLB.
(1) Musgrove - 10
(5) Darvish - 8
(5) Manaea - 8
Mets have:
(20) Bassett - 6
(38) Carrasco - 4
Again, the bats are nice, but you have to know you aren’t going to be hitting the ball all over the yard in October.
You need to pipe down. 2021 and 2022 are different years with different teams for sure. But I also know you are the same dude who poo poo'd anyone who tried to voice any concern last year as the season got away from us
Speaking from the Met's side- how much does our schedule look easier because we have done so well against a team like the Phillies that most likely would be +500 if they hadn't played us so much.
Padres lead MLD in defense but teams 3-16 are within points of each other and we are in that mix. A single game could move one of these teams to either number 3 or 17.
Pitching- SD is points ahead but our offense is way ahead.
I get defensive as it always feels everyone wants to find a reason why we are NOT good.
Let's revisit the pitching comparison when we get our top three back. Do you still think SD is better from top to bottom?
4 left-handed batters vs a lefty starter. Hope for the best I guess.
Beats last year when we were treated to the likes of Cameron Maybin, Jake Hager, Chance Sisco, Joneshwy Fargas, Wilfredo Tovar, Billy McKinney, Khalil Lee, etc.
OK, scratch Khalil Lee from that list.
Just to be clear, I think the Mets are really freaking good. As I’ve stated multiple times ITT, I think they’re a legit post season team.
I just don’t think the Phillies are that great. The Cards are the best team you’ve played this season and you’ve done well against them.
The series you have against the Brew crew will be a good one.
Scherzer and DeGrom, who is the 3rd?
Unless your 3rd is an Ace, then yeah I still think ours is better top to bottom.
Musgrove is the best pitcher in the NL IMO.
Darvish is Darvish, and the world doesn’t know about Mackenzie Gore yet, but they’re about to find out.
Manaea is another one who has Ace potential.
A healthy Max and deGrom are so much better than your top 2. That a 3rd of either Bassit or Carasco isn’t the question. At the moment, we don’t have our top 2 so it is a moot point. But don’t try to compare musgrove and Darvish to Max and Jake
So I was over in The Dead Zone reading how The 3 Amigos are bitch slapping you and telling you to go back to the Mets thread, yet you STILL think they love talking baseball with you, lol. I just don't get it. When will you learn?
Medina leaves with our thanks and sincerest sympathy. Life is unfair. Your day will come, young man. Meanwhile, Colin Holderman and Stephen Nogosek breathe a sigh of relief for now - until Tylor Megill gets activated later this week.
Interesting choice of Lee over Dom Smith. Given that no one was IL'd, Smith was not yet eligible for recall after his demotion eight days ago. He is eligible for recall on Friday. I wonder whether Lee's promotion to the Mets is a one and done.
The question was top to bottom.
And yes, I think top to bottom we have the best starting pitching in the MLB with or without those guys on your roster.
I’m very very very high on Manaea. And again, people don’t know about Mackenzie Gore yet.
Yes we do know about Gore. As for rotation if deGrom and Scherzer were healthy I'd give an edge to the Mets because the 1-2 is better. 1-5 very close and both are top 5 teams in NL so very possible we can decide this in the playoffs this year! Imagine when Tatis gets back then everyone will really be on notice.
Braves broadcast ....Braves are currently 12-6 looking like 13-6 during 29 straight games vs teams under 500
