NFT: Cubs at Mets Game 1

auditioning for his new team. Let's go Jon, show them what you got

Niese go!!

from Niese. Hope the Dodgers sent a scout

Tough break

Friggin Kyle Kendrick.

he also could have thrown him out at second.

Uncanny

Our pitchers have to pitch shutouts to get wins 4 out of every 5 times

Niese deserves a W tonight.

Hendricks is much less shitty. Kendrick might be the worst SP in baseball right now.

Cecilliani doing his best Cuddyer impression

at this point Ceciliani might be the better left fielder.

As of a few days ago, i think, if you did xFIP or WAR backwards on fangraphs, Kendrick is the worst SP in the majors.

is like having a root freakin' canal.

if he needs to go on DL, please bring up Conforto!

will we see Matz pinch hit?

how often we witness the opposition's weak or struggling SP/SP's come in and throw a gem against our boys. What an awful and anemic band of ball players.

being this bad offensively.

At least see what he can do

the worst offense in the NL...and I think the mets are winning. They have the worst offense in the league. And, yes, they also hit the most amount of pop flies. I know most think the hitting coach is useless...but it's weird how the coach can't help them AT ALL.

Meanwhile, the mets have one of the best pitching staffs in the league. Alderson has done a fantastic job of keeping the mets in baseball purgatory.

needs to learn another position. Catching is just not in the cards for his body.

I've seen a few people say he should move to a corner OF spot but that could be Murphy bad. He has absolutely no experience there.

You're right. The Mets do hit a lot of pop-ups. Because all of those assholes drop their back shoulder before the swing. And a major league hitting coach can't see and correct this?

Mets are hopeless - hitters, coaches, manager, FO, and owners. They are wasting tremendous young pitching talent.
Does anyone believe our pitchers will sign long-term contracts, even if the cheap bastard owners ponied up the cash?

to most players its all about the money

Maybe the Mets need to try to move TDA while they can. Nice player, but appears to be a china doll.

true but Plawecki doesn't seem to be much of a ML hitter at this point.

DC1 shows enouguh at the plate in the next coming days to keep Cuddyer from his starting job.

hes been awful

Fucking joke that guy is still a met.

It also creates another hole in the lineup.

I think our best bet is to just hope the guy can stop getting hurt every 2 weeks and stay in the lineup. If not, he has no value in a trade anyway.

Dodgers and Cubs better make us some good offers!

His 4th quality start in a row! We should have no problem keeping him this year. I would rather get rid of Colon.

Just unwatchable.

PUKE

freaking hits tonight.

And shut out the mets

Not even an average one, a below average one, would be enough to make the playoffs with the pitching. It's really unbelievable how piss poor the offense actually is.

lineup with so many players hitting below .250

they're still above .500 but then again with the studs taking the mound day in and day out you still have a chance albeit not a very good one.

tomorrow.

Ruben Tejada still sucks!!!!! Don't know why this team continues to have faith in this guy. For a team that can't hit you can't have him in the lineup. Much rather take my chances on the potential of the young kid.

as they do every single year under Collins leadership...and he's still here.

Most may think that the manager has no bearing on wins and losses and I wholeheartedly disagree. This team needs a major spark, a major change...and dumping that anchor Collins is just that move. It's not just this game - it's every game for the past five seasons. Bottom line is that no other team would have kept Collins for this long. NONE.

What it tells me is that Sandy and Co had no intention in competing this year at all. That's unfortunate and a complete waste. Rant over.

Niese for Castro ....

I wonder if Niese an a double A prospect would get it done

But let's be real.. this lineup fucking sucks. No one can hit. You could put anyone behind the bench with this team and I doubt much would change.

Now Who replaces him ??

is the kick in the dick many of us saw coming. I said it all offseason, as long as Collins was still here it was only a matter of time before Tejada was the starting SS again. And it didn't even take until mid season, lol.

Hire Wally, he's coached the entire roster and wins where ever he goes

Honestly, it doesn't matter. A goldfish could do a better job. How about anyone that will inject any type of energy in the team. A manager that will be aggressive and help their team manufacture runs.

Bottom line is that they should have fired him after last season as they started to move forward. If your GM has to be talked into keeping your manager, that's generally not a good thing. But nobody can convince me that they would continue to be this bad if they had a remotely decent, aggressive manager.

I'm just frustrated. Never been a Collins can.

I heard Andy Martino on the WFAN one day, say there is no way Wally is going to get it because Alderson wants someone that is basically a YES man. If they fire Collins, they'll just give to Bob Geren. Alderson is the real problem.
