NY Mets - June 2022

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Now it's 7-1 after a 2 run double.
Reed is basically Familia...maybe even worse.

He should not be on this team.

Trevor Williams is now in...

And it's 9-1.

This one is done pretty much.


Also....Braves are winning in the 6th.
Phils won earlier.

LOL

I think I'm good with not seeing Peterson anymore this season. Unless Walker, Bassit, Cookie and the next 4 guys up are all hurt he shouldn't be an option. Never goes more than 4 innings, always starts us in a hole. I've seen enough.

I really have no idea what Buck was thinking there with those moves.
Maybe that hook of Peterson was too quick?





It's 10-1 now....
Those 7 runs scored after there were 2 outs...to make matters even worse.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

That said....
Scherzer & deGrom can't make their returns fast enough...

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Also have to wonder how much impact McCann being out has had on this staff.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets go quickly w/o a peep in the 5th.

10-1 Milwaukee.....heading to the 6th.
Hell of an "effort" in this one.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Also have to wonder how much impact McCann being out has had on this staff.

I'd say quite a bit.
Nido is in no way a front line everyday catcher.
He's a serviceable backstop....but just for 1 maybe 2 games a week.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Great...right after Nimmo's leadoff triple in the 6th...Marte gets beaned...and has to come out.
Plummer is in to run for him.

And after all that...Lindor popped out....Pete K'd.
McNeil singled in Nimmo...but was thrown out stretching at 2nd.

10-2 after 6.

We need another big bat somewhere in the line up. Pete's going to deliver somewhere around 45 Homers, but after him is a big dropoff, maybe our next guy will have 18-20. We need another 32-35 homer guy. Don't wait till the trade deadline of July 31st, start looking for him now. The Braves are coming on strong and are not going to let up, their bad spell to start the season is over. This is going to be a tight race. One more big bat is the answer.

We also need to get Scherzer & deGrom back into the rotation.
The back end guys have treaded water long enough. Our BP could also use a few upgrades.
The leaks in the boat are becoming problematic and cause for concern. Too much inconsistency.

Agree on all counts.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Agree on all counts.

Gotta figure at some point the Braves will be mired in a losing streak soon.
Just hope the Mets are in a winning streak during that time.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Geeez....when was the last time Plummer got a hit..or even put the ball in play?
Seems all he's done since that last HR of his a week or 2 ago...it's been nothing but whiffs.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

The extension of the playoffs hurts our chances of landing a bat, fewer teams will be willing to sell.

Dom could eventually help...Alvarez too.
Not sure how the FO will approach it though.

Final:
10-2 brew crew.
Mets were flat all around in this one.
Put it in the "el-stinko" file.

Vientos ?....

Opinion: Mark Vientos is Best DH Option for Mets - Metsmerized Online

The New York Mets screwed up their DH position entering the season. Largely due to his contract, Robinson Cano was given the first crack, and he failed miserably. It led to his release, and notably, he's now playing for the San Diego Padres Triple-A affiliate. While the Mets were trying to get...

Mets Thursday Rubber Game Lineup vs Milwaukee (Ashby)





Plummer has to get going soon (hopefully tonight) or he'll be sent down soon.
We have some good bats in the system....could be time to explore some other options.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hope we can get at least 5 or 6 good innings from Megill tonight.
Gotta get the bats back in the groove too.


#LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets lead it 1-0 after 3.
McNeil has the Mets lone hit...and rbi single in the 1st.
Nimmo was HBP yet again.
Doesn't seem like we'll see the end of that nonsense anytime soon.


Edit...
LOL...I was about to post how good Megill has looked...but he just gave a up a solo HR to Yelich in the 4th.

*Game is tied.

edit: for now
Megill in trouble....1st & 3rd...only 1 out.
