NY Mets --- June 2023

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

This team kinda sucks

Definitely inconsistent and mediocre for more than a month now.
They need to snap out of their doldrums and quick. As Yogi once said…”it’s getting late early out there “

Could not agree more.....

Opinion: Time for Mets to Move on From Daniel Vogelbach - Metsmerized Online

Ever since the National League instituted a permanent DH, the Mets simply have not been able to get much at all from the position. In the first half of 2022, the team thought they could mix and match players like J.D. Davis, Dominic Smith, and Robinson Canó but failed to get consistent...

Wow...just wow....lol/smh @ Buck


I don't care if it's against a righty or a lefty....ya gotta give those AB's to Vientos or Pham....not Vogey FFS.

Another blown lead and give another one away to those damn Braves. So disheartening.

Pete getting plunked on the wrist in the 1st inning didn't help either...now he'll probably hit the 10 day DL (that's the last thing we need)
I also really don't see the logic or reason of having Vogelbach in the lineup so often.

Maybe it's time for Buck and Hefner to go away.
Can't fire the players after all.

Something's gotta give.
Hopefully soon.

Damn.

Coming off their fourth consecutive loss, things went from bad to worse for the Mets on Wednesday night against the Atlanta Braves. In his first at-bat of the night, Pete Alonso took a 97 mph fastball to the left wrist that forced him out of the game just four batters in. Desperately needing to...

Alonso exits early after being hit on wrist as Mets drop 5th straight

ATLANTA -- Pete Alonso was Truist Park’s resident supervillain in Wednesday’s 7-5 loss to the Braves. After yelling at Braves pitcher Bryce Elder to "throw it again" after homering off the righty on Tuesday, Atlanta fans greeted Alonso with boos pre and in-game, and some even cheered when he...

I was hesitant on the Fire Buck movement but he's had some head scratching lineup decisions and his obsession with keeping Vogelbach in to try and get him on track is maddening.

It’s gotten really bad. The DH has become a black hole for this team.
The guy is basically robbing the AB’s that should belong to Vientos. I mean I have nothing against the guy, but if he’s not producing then he needs to sit.
Tommy Pham has been a nice surprise though.

He also seems less enthusiastic than last year. Maybe the excitement of returning to the dugout has worn off.

Buck watch might be officially on now...and I think it should be.
Eppler and Hefner have to be in the crosshairs too...imho.

The Mets May Need A Personnel Change - Metsmerized Online

Mets Salvage Thursday Lineup (sans Pete) @ Atlanta

Another blown lead, 6 straight losses. Still plenty of season left but they need to right this ship fast. Not as many divisional games anymore either so these losses hurt extra.

Another blown lead, 6 straight losses. Still plenty of season left but they need to right this ship fast. Not as many divisional games anymore either so these losses hurt extra.

They've sunk to new lows. Hard to watch them struggle this badly at this point....but they better figure their shit out quick.

I had a feeling they were gonna be toast when Verlander could only make it through 3 innings.
The bullpen allowed 8 runs after the 4th inning. Just awful...and totally unacceptable.
Offense showed up early and often...but not quite often enough when it mattered.
It's definitely a rut and in danger of becoming a full on swoon.

Hope they have better luck in Pittsburgh this weekend.
They're really gonna need it.
