Tough losing two of three to the Padres but we did run into two pretty good pitchers at home and we probably should have won the third game anyway. All right on to the Mariners. Looking at the match ups I feel good about this series. Hopefully we can get back on track.

They need to find that groove they were in before the break

Murphy with a pop fly that drops in, maybe that will start something.

Nimmo and Herrera

Mike in NY : 7/21/2014 10:28 pm : link

showing some pop in AA

That Brooklyn team sure is interesting

ZGiants98 : 7/21/2014 10:44 pm : link

now with the draft class added. Roasario 2 for 3. Katz 4 for 4. Conforto 2 for 4. Hopefully some of these guys move quickly and get a taste of Savannah before the year is out. Molina pitched well today also.

Murphy needed to get that run in from 3rd with only one out

steve in ky : 7/21/2014 10:50 pm : link

DW needs to pick him up. This game should be tied.

And the captain delivers

steve in ky : 7/21/2014 10:51 pm : link

tie game

Well that didn't last long

Neise really looking like shit

coming off the long lay off. Uh. We aren't going to win too many games without our starters pitching well..

lol mets

They are nothing if not predictable.

Flores

ZGiants98 : 7/21/2014 11:33 pm : link

is just killing it! sigh. Puello is heating up as well.

every time I see the name Flores

PhiPsi125 : 7/21/2014 11:39 pm : link

I want to punch Collins in the face.

I'm terrified that he will be the manager again next season...and I really think it's going to happen.

Flores

steve in ky : 7/21/2014 11:40 pm : link

It would be great when he gets his next chance if he could find a way to translate his minor league success to the major league level.

it would also be great if Flores

PhiPsi125 : 7/21/2014 11:47 pm : link

could play more than once every eight games. Kinda tough to be consistent and get in a groove when you never play.

The salt in the wound is that the piece of garbage Tejada was getting the playing time over Flores.

Niese is not as good

spike : 7/21/2014 11:49 pm : link

as he thinks he is..

D'Arnaud just got robbed of a HR

Same thing, different year.

Show signs of life during the break, come out of it and promptly throw it away and fade into irrelevancy.

Well

pjcas18 : 7/22/2014 8:38 am : link

the one bright side if they keep losing is the FO won't feel compelled into forcing themselves and the fans to believe they're in contention and become buyers at the deadline.

3 for 5 last night, at .330 in Vegas.

Cesar Puello sighting, he went 3 for 3 as well.

Nimmo HR'd as he passed the mendoza line in AA.

TJ Rivera a robust .348 at AA, Herrera at .345

Marcos Molina 7 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 1BB 8K's. His ERA is at 1.26, .79 WHIP.

What's his scouting report? at 19, I don't think he needs to move up, but if the gnats are playoff bound, maybe they could use him to help in the second half/playoffs.

I still think the team is

Metnut : 7/22/2014 9:09 am : link

going to play .500 ball or better from here on out, it's just that their are going to be ups and downs like we've seen the past 3 weeks.

That being said, the one positive about a bad second half is that we might finally get rid of Terry Collins.

I think

HH is a big Molina advocate.

Let's be honest, even after the 8-2 homestand the team was still 5 games below .500 and 7 games out of a playoff spot with half a dozen teams to hurdle for a shot at the wild card. Put differently, we've been irrelevant since May.

I think that we can still have some fun watching the second half. There's a lot of question mark players that I'd like to get some more info on, and I think we'll finally be in position to be objectively optimistic about the team next year.

Chris Flexen undergoes Tommy John. There goes 2014 and likely 2015 as well since I doubt the Mets bring him back for one month
