Juan Uribe career at 2B
9 Defensive Runs Saved in about 1700 Innings.

Juan Uribe started one game with Atlanta this season at 2B. Otherwise, he had not played there since 2011. 193 career starts there.

"My expectations are he's going to get three hits and catch every ball that's hit to him." --Terry Collins on Uribe playing second
Adam Rubin
Terry Collins said Juan Uribe doesn't like to play first base, and wanted to get him at the lineup.
His ba is low, but he's hit 5 hr's and 5 doubles before today. I'm glad he can play second. He's not going to get many starts at third as long as Wright is healthy.

Been taking grounders at first too.
Started asking Shaw about Familia: "How nasty..." when Holt walked by, shook his head, and said, "Nastiest pitcher in the world."
#Mets have optioned Logan Verrett to Las Vegas to make room for Reed. He should be back in 10 days with another spot start on the horizon.
playoff teams will be better than this, that should offset any comments about Wright sitting or Cespedes sitting or Harvey only going 6 when he could have been pushed another inning.
Hopefully Reed helps plug the hole in the bullpen but the offense also needs to be better too or the Mets success won't be as much as it should or could be this year.

The Rockies beat the Pirates today 5-0. Should Pirates fans be concerned? It happens.
The concerns with the Mets were on display in the Red Sox series.
I don't think overall it was a bad series. Harvey, deGrom and Thor all pitched well. Like you'd expect.
I'm not antagonizing you, just saying this team has weaknesses and it's not a flawless team. In a series like this one the Mets should not be dominated by the opposing starters.

Except, the Pirates didn't have a bad series. The Pirates were on a four game win streak and had already taken the first two games against the Rockies before dropping the last game today. Why would Pirates fans be worried? That's probably the worst example you could have used.
I hope you're learning over there. Be quiet and sit still ...

Get bent, dickhead. Go back to the hole you crawled out of. You add zero to these threads except increase the asshole quotient.

The Red Sox have been playing well for the last month and have one of the top offenses in baseball since the all-star break. Combine that with some good young starting pitching and its not surprising this was a battle. If our pen hadn't been so burnt up we likely win Friday and take 2 of 3 anyway.

There's no such thing as a flawless team. The Pirates have flaws, the Dodgers have flaws, and the Cardinals have flaws. Kelly has been undefeated for over a month. Layne has been pitching well too. And who said the Mets are winning the World Series anyway? I think we are talented as anyone, especially when healthy, but Ive also said I could easily see us wiped out in the first round. Facing Kershaw and Greinke in round one is not going to be a picnic. But once we have our foot in the door, who knows what happens.

And the Mets just won seven games on the road before Friday's game. What's your point?
I'm not going to bang on them too hard for losing two in a row. Sox have been playing good ball lately. Sucks they lost two winnable games. But shit happens sometimes...

Oh geezus I quickly looked at the box scores and saw that the best team in baseball since early May was dominated by the Rockies today. Thats a bad example? Your trying to tell me the Pirates were playing well prior so it doesn't matter? The Mets are 8-2 in their last ten games. I was just saying better teams lose to lesser teams every day. How about the Rays beating the Royals today? That work?
I was simply pointing out that a team on verge of being swept versus a team looking to sweep was probably a poor comparison. The Royals might be a better example but they are 13 games up so I doubt their fans are concerned about anything.
My rosy optimism? I think we are better than the Nats and likely win the division. No different than Dan, Arc, and many others have said. I also said we could lose in the first round so not sure where my rosy optimism exceeds the majority of people here.
And no offense on the rosy optimism comment. It just kinda your thing :)

Lol disagree , an I guess not
The Mets were on a stretch where they were hitting something like .328 with RISP over several weeks. That isn't sustainable. The Red Sox series was the correction.
#Mets will add Eric Campbell, Eric Young, Kirk Nieuwenhuis and Kevin Plawecki on Tuesday when rosters expand.

I think Rubin was naming the position players. Dario Alvarez, for one, would almost assuredly be up as well.
In Vic Black's last 4 outings, he has walked 7 batters, allowed 8 hits, surrendered 6 ER and recorded 6 outs.
