Way to miss the sarcasm.

Any news from the Flying Puck?

A blowout game, and he has Alex Torres pitch not one but TWO innings...

Oy vey.

Hasn't Reynolds been struggling recently in LV? I'd say call him up to take Herrera's spot.

I really can't stomach more Ruben Tejada.

Yeah, they claim you're a hypocrite in addition to being a whiny Crosby lol

No worries, you're a natural like Flores

Where is the talkative Sandy Alderson?????? 90 win frame of mind, playoffs, etc. etc. during the offseason and spring training.

Maybe the "Maverick" could open his mouth now, demonstrate some leadership and come out from hiding.

Will be complete the trifecta of stupid and pitch Familia, too?

. Of course they'll probably just bring up Campbell.

is coming up

and his 7 ERA. unreal. 8ip and 8ks.

been a great hitter his whole career. Comes here and hes swinging at pitches that are thrown off the plate in the other batters box.

so was Jason Bay, it's weird, they (Cuddyer, Bay, and others) cannot be counted on to be "the guy". Mets need a "the guy" on offense. Maybe it's Wright, but he's so fragile at this point I doubt it.

Beltran and Delgado - that's the kind of bold move Sandy needs to make only it would need to be via trade. those were two FA signings that mostly worked out.

are skyrocketing back to 500 ball.

Unbelievable.

a way to get Altuve from Houston.

he's good.

I guarantee that guy would come here and a) not be able to stay healthy and b) turn into an average at best hitter that we owe big money to. I would be a disaster.

I know that conversation is picking back up because the Rockies have been so bad and the Mets are bottoming out here and it just seems like it makes sense but I think it would be a huge mistake. Can anyone see that working out for us? You just know it would turn bad.

Gomez would be a much more attractive guy to go after because he's so good defensively that even if his power dipped a little, he'd still have value (and he can steal bases)

Hard to believe he's already 29 but that's definitely a guy I'd go after.

Problem is.. then what the hell do you do with Granderson or Cuddyer? No one is going to take Granderson off our hands.

forget tulo, I wouldn't get either.

if you're giving up Thor or Matz (plus Flores or Murphy) you get someone young and good.


I'd offer Thor, Ynoa, Flores, and d'Arnaud to the Red Sox for Bogaerts, swihart and Rusney Castillo.

but Granderson may be impossible unless it's taking on a worse contract. This every day lineup is getting close to unwatchable but I agree that Tulo is not the answer right now.

If cuddly and Grandy aren't giving you enough production - the biggest mistake the front office can make again would be inaction because of their contracts. Making baseball decisions purely based on contracts is foolish. You can work around and move around money. You cannot work around a lack of talent.

But Nelson Cruz has been ridiculous this year and he was last year too. I never understood why people were so against signing him. The guy is hitting .361 and has 15 HR's already.. and SAFECO is NOT a small park.

The Sox really like their kids. Castillo was given over $70 million and we know he was sent to the minors b/c they had no spot for him.

Bogaerts is likely staying until Moncada arrvies and the love Betts.

A one for one maybe but doubt they're moving several pieces foe several pieces. I thought GBSP Niese was perfect yet an 88 MPH #1 is pretty worthless.

I think we're screwed for this year.

No shit. And it was very adamant, like it was a horrible idea.

Cuddyer has played 1st base in the past

Maybe an American League team gets an injury or really needs a DH and Duda brings back a ransom later this season.

Few choices so maybe a few out of the box ideas is worth discussing.

looking good. 3 k's through 2 but did let up one hit which was a solo homerun (first homer he's given up this year)

This team is fucked

They are a young team still filling in the pieces. They are not going to trade their young 1st baseman and create yet another.

not in a huge cold streak right now?

And for that matter is there anyone having even an average season with the bat?

No and no.

They will have DW and TDA back, Cuddyer will have broken out of his slump and things won't look near as bleak as they do today.

Baseball season is a marathon not a sprint and there are ups and downs. Just like they weren't going to stay at the same pace when they stared out with the best record in the game they won't remain losing like they are now.

Well, of Cuddyer is the stop gap in LF maybe he can be the stop gap at 1st. Could Duda and maybe a pitcher return a solid SS and future 1st base prospect?

Gotta think a little different than the current b/c nothing is happening nor will it happen in 2016 with these two corner outfielders

.

He'll be 30 next season.

I wouldn't trade him, but I wouldn't make him some untouchable piece of the team either.

through 4 innings now with 6k's. Still just that one hit. He's been sitting around 93-94mph, filthy curve and a changeup he's been able to locate.

I know there's not much room on our ML rotation, but it really seems like we're just wasting innings from him in AAA

+1

The problem with the Mets and many of their fan is they only want to trade off what others don't want and always over hype what they want to trade. If Duda brought back a kid who can start at SS next year and a LF or 1st baseman it's not crazy. Hoping Niese and spare parts brings back a Cubs SS is crazy.

probably nobody truly is other than Harvey. However I can't believe anyone really thinks that moving Cuddyer to first base and trading Duda is the best plan at this point. He is young in baseball terms. He has no wear and tear, his game does not rely on his speed. He is young in the sense he is one piece that can hopefully an important part of the team moving forward so not any real benefit trading him and simply create another need.

Typical Mets fans emotion


NOBODY said it was thr best idea. I said maybe we can think out of the box. If the return for Duda is (forget it, not typing it again).

The whole point of thinking out of the box is usually to come up with a great idea that wouldn't be automatically considered otherwise. I don't follow your logic at all if you agree is probably isn't the best way to move forward.

I am the one who is staying level headed about the current losing streak and not being emotional and getting too caught up in the feast and famine aspects of a 162 game season.

Status quo wins then. Here is your team. Enjoy staying in the box. Thank goodness the Mets kept David Wright for years b/c losing him would have created just another hole. Let's keep them all, keep losing and hoping.

Here is your team.

Looks like the Nats are basically all the way back to first in no time. Unreal

Another

6 innings 8 k's 1 hit 1 walk

When running down first base line

Link - ( New Window )

Just stay away from Tulo unless its a salary dump

Bring back a nice reliever. I'm ready for the Matz/Thor show. The bats will come around eventually! I'm in the city boys. Rangers game today! Mets tomorrow! LGR/LGM!

He's hit more than 30 HRs once. He's hit more than 100 RBIs once. He's is a career .278 hitter. He strikes out and doesn't get walks. He's been significantly injured two of the past 3 years.

Apart from one outlier year (2013), he is playing to his career average. The guy is Kevin freakin McReynolds, except old and broken down.

Not sure if you guys mentioned it.(knee). The injuries have really been unbelievable this year. It's sad.

I'd rather have Ruben Tejada at this point.

7 2/3 2 runs 3 hits 2BB 9 k 100 pitches

Wasting time in AAA

call up Reynolds.. DL Herrera

and called up Campbell
