NFT: Mets ~ Friday ~ April 18

hit through 6. Ridiculous.

How do you not have the fastest guy on your team run on Harang/Gatis? Why don't you TRY to make something happen.

Settling right in to last year's average.

Meanwhile, with 6 walks tonight, Mets have a 0.24 score in Sandy Alderson's bases per out stat.

strikes out on ball four.

Disgraceful

.

"Thornton is going to give us more depth, and has pitched very well at the minor-league level," Alderson said. "He's not on the [40-man] roster so it gives us some flexibility there, but we're happy to add that depth. And with respect to the player to be named later, we're happy as well."

When asked for more information on the other player, Alderson was mum. "Players are named later for a variety of reasons, so I really can't get into it any further than that," he said. "Because if I were to give you the reason why the player's [not] been named, it would lead you in the right direction."

comes to the Mets.

Game over.

strikes again

despite giving up just 1 run in six innings

and then immediately constructed a team that doesn't play to ANY of its strengths.

And these guys were wondering why we have such a poor record in our home park? There's a reason they play so much better on the road.

Jordan Schafer RBI double over Curtis Granderson, who struggled with read in RF.

Hasn't that happened before?

And can't field for shit.

If you're not going to hit, at least catch the damn ball

over the Davis trade and this is what happened

It came out of nowhere

lol

On the positive side the Mets did garner 6 walks tonight.

on Stanton, he's healthy now and I don't know anyone on the Mets or in the minors I wouldn't trade for him as part of a package of players.

2011 1st-rd pick Brandon Nimmo 4-for-5 tonight. Hitting .407 in Florida State League. Bronx-born teammate T.J. Rivera 4-for-6, hitting .411.
