They have handcuffed themselves by carrying two DH's who can only play first base. Not saying it's the wrong move, but this is the opportunity cost.

My problem is there has to be something better in the minor leagues. This is a hole in your lineup.
They could have gone with Mauricio. Positionally, that would have been the only other move that made sense. Other than that, you have your choice amongst a bunch of organizational depth guys. I guess Marrero was as good a choice as any.
The lack of depth in the Mets system is on display once again. That kind of thing doesn't change quickly.
Braves going 3 straight RHP
Baty for 3 games to get a taste
Plays great it’s a bonus and we may have something

Canha lost ball in lights/clouds with 2 outs and Harris scored from 1st
Acuna is a f'ing dickhead.
A Mets pitcher needs to drill him hard.

Not a lot of choices, Magoo.
Ha, ha, dickhead Acuna with a pussy throw lets McNeil get to third.
Have I mentioned Acuna is a dickhead? Bad fielding too.
Have to share …just got a text …
“McCann can go 0 for 6 and his average would go up. “
Mets can’t survive playing Escobar everyday during a horrible year while he’s fighting an injury on top of it.

Tell your friend to piss off. Stupid text.
3 hits. Marte, Lindor, Alonso, Vogelbach and Canha have zero, and your friend focuses on McCann?
Our leadoff batter Nimmo is batting 0.059 and the last 7 days (1 for 17), and people want to rip on McCann? SMDH.
Seeing Escobar and McCann playing every day would be like a nightmare. Team starting scoring and winning far more regularly when Guillorme got in and provided a spark on offense and great defense. And Nido has hit over .270 for the last 20 something games.
Escobar error to open the 6th and two 70 MPH ground balls at the plate. He’s completely unplayable vs RHP. 585 OPS!
It’s absurd to worry more about bench infield versatility in case of in game injury vs upgrading a starting position. Baty vs RHP would be an upgrade over Escobar. Why are The Mets more concerned with Marrero’s ability to replace an injured middle infielder in game then upgrading starting 3B?

Nobody getting any texts about the middle relievers? 🤣
McCann doing a crappy job at "catching". He ain't catching many pitches!!!

We need volunteers to pitch the last two innings. Do not want to waste any front line relievers.
Medina surely goes down tomorrow, and a fresh arm (Nogosek?) comes up.

Mets system doesn't have any prospects like Harris, who leaps like a kangaroo.
Ruf is going to pitch!
EDIT: And he retires the side on five pitches! He can go another inning.

Buck had hand over mouth sort of smiling
Probably asked Ruf if he wanted to ruin his 0.00 ERA this year and go out there for another inning

Yeah it seems like there's a couple of younger guys on the Braves that need an attitude adjustment.
I retract my earlier statement. Buck should be fired for not putting Ruf in earlier.
Yeah Mets have some bats on the way, but not particularly athletic. The last two "toolsy" OF prospects they had, they traded. Of course the tools don't always translate to the major league level.
He's just a little bit too emotional and Ra Ra for my (and a lot of other tastes). Comes across as a young punk who needs to be put in his place. Maybe I'm misjudging him through my TV, and I will owe him an apology. But for now, there is something about his demeanor that triggers me.
We won't give up 13 runs again in this series. I'm very sure of that. Need to produce more on offense though. One concern is that there is more rain in the forecast here for Wednesday and Thursday. Not sure of the timing but wouldn't want Max and Jacob to go out to start and then have a rain delay. But then there was no rain in the forecast today when I watched this morning so I was very surprised when it first started pouring around 3pm.
Khalil Lee was supposed to be a guy. Has the speed, certainly has the arm, even has the raw power. Unfortunately they haven't been able to develop the bat to ball skills and he is now dying on the vine as a minor leaguer in his mid 20's struggling to stay above the Mendoza line.
It's one game. Not concerned. Just wanted to get out of here with a split.
