NFT: Dodgers v Mets - Sat 5/28 - Mets acquire Loney

Anthony DiComo
#Mets expect to play without Jeurys Familia tonight. He's most likely unavailable after his lengthy outing last night.

David Wright is out of the #Mets' lineup tonight with a stiff neck. Team says it's unrelated to his back.

James Loney Verified account ‏@theloney_s
I [heart] NY

hits for average, low k rate and can field his position. He is the anti-moneyball player--which this lineup needs.

I bet a Loney/Flores platoon is just as good or better than Duda.

#Mets Game 48 of 162, vs. LA:

Granderson RF
Cabrera SS
Conforto LF
Cespedes CF
Walker 2B
Campbell 1B
Kelly 3B
Rivera C
Syndergaard P

J.P. Pelzman
Interesting to hear Doc Gooden being asked about Syndergaard. 3 years ago, people were asking him about Harvey #thingschange

Blows 7-1 lead in 9th and White Sox lose 8-7

Campbell...bleh.

is pure BS

and was immediately tossed. Wasn't even close to hitting him either.

Baseball sucks.

Go fuck yourself MLB

I hope NY fans ride the shot out of this ump the rest of the year.

What a dumbass umpire.

Like all other sports, baseball has gone soft. You have got to be kidding me. It didn't even hit him.

With Joe Torres dodgers , apparently.

It sucks that hockey is close to ending. It's the only sport that has balls anymore

tonight. Gonna be much tougher now. What a crock of shit this is.

I think this is a case of "don't shoot the messenger ". Hes following his orders.

Yup, Clueless Joe. Most overrated manager in the history of baseball.

fucking asshole, I was hoping TC would take a swing at the ump

I hope we put up 10 runs now.

.

Throw a fastball and tell rivera just get out of the way. Police the pussy ump also

Shit...if he was going to get thrown out , at least bruise his lower back with a 101.

protecting Chase Utley. He's a dirtbag of a player, always has been. Torre takes back Utleys entire suspension for the Tejada play and God forbid he gets hit (or in this case, almost hit). Clueless Joe, living up to his name.

Lol, can you imagine??

There is nothing I don't like about Noah. If Harvey had his mean streak and cared less about the NYC nightlife , think of how good he'd be.

And I have no clue if Harvey is still partying...just glad Noah is so damned focused and mean.

Noah had an Estes HR moment coming.

The ump is a minor league call up for an ump on vacation

Seriously??

Way to make a name for yourself cockbag

Rich Couhtino

warning is only right call not an ejection. After all Utley got no suspension-Then again Torre saw no issue with Clemens hitting Piazza

Yup

you have to warn before you throw someone out, but the umpire should have used some common sense in that situation. The Mets should have been given one shot to hit him or throw near him, and they weren't. Agree it's bullshit from the ump. Props to Syndeergard for stepping up and taking care of business though, even if he did get thrown out

under

"2016 MINOR LEAGUE CALL-UP UMPIRES"

is the listing ...

"ADAM HAMARI
Born in May 1983...has been a Minor League umpire since 2006...has worked: APP, NYP, MWL, CAL, FSL, SL, EL and IL...

Is a bitch. Pitchers should hit him every game

.

But that young ump has fucked himself. He screwed the paying customers, and probably most important he screwed over MLB's national television partner from showcasing Noah. He's done. They won't make it public and may even support the guy, but I'd surprised if you see him as a "vacation replacement" again any time soon.

Wins. Time to put this matter to bed. Doesnt get suspended, doesnt get hit, homers, wins the game.

Is to just assrape a Met pitcher on the field. I'm not ruling it out.

Colon

Or just a high and tight fb

They should drill kershaw

.

The game as I was out of state. Any interesting comments from Mets, LA or Umps afterwards??

With all of this situation since the playoffs and the cheap shot he just goes about his business. Many guys would showboat or at least show up the Mets after he delivers a HR like he did but he just does his thing and goes to the bench with no emotion displayed as all. I tend to believe if the ball had hit him he would just taken his base in similar fashion.

Again I don't like the guy, never have but I respect the way he conducts himself.

I see no reason whatsoever to not bean him and actually hit him this time. Noah did the guy a favor by missing him and he just laughs it up by hitting fastballs down the middle. His "winning" just should draw him a real fastball that really hits him.

.

a waste of 12 million dollars

De Aza just a flat out awful signing. They must have just looked at his numbers and calculated he would regress to the mean. They definitely did not watch how he played last year in SF. Sucks at the plate and in the field. And gives no effort.

Bastardo. No control. But the the thing that gets me is you had 4 LOOGYs on the 40 man roster at AAA: Edgin, Gilmartin, Smoker and Alvarez. We saw Gilmartin last year. He is better than Bastardo. Why waste 12 million dollars on a position where you have so many guys at AAA? In addition to sucking, Bastardo is clogging the pipeline and causing guys like Alvarez to be lost.

Agreed.

Probably so. Is this enough to eject without warning? Not sure, don't know the rule book well enough.

continues to stink, time to cut bait. Mets meed to pick up left handed hitting OF for bench.

I would send Utley a hooker with the with VD.

is that the offense continues to sleepwalk. Maeda has been awful AND he gets drilled on his pitching hand with a line drive...and the Mets can only scrape up two hits? I just don't see this team ever breaking away from the pack in this division. Every time the have the opportunity to start building a lead in the division, they falter.

what Colon pitches at Utley today.

With Kershaw pitching, there is little chance the Mets win anyways.

"e Cardinals have designated Ruben Tejada for assignment in order to make room on their roster Matt Carpenter. Tejada, who was with the Mets from 2010 to 2015, was cut by the Mets during spring training despite being tendered a contract earlier in the offseason. The Cardinals then signed him to a one-year deal to replace their injured shortstop Jhonny Peralta.

Shortly after that, Tejada himself was injured, leading to Jedd Gyorko starting at short on Opening Day for St. Louis. With Gyorko disappointing, Aledmys Diaz took over, and he's played like an All-Star, as he currently sports a .918 OPS on the season. With Peralta now playing in rehab games, Tejada's spot on the big-league roster was already tenuous.

Tejada was the Mets' starting shortstop in the first two games of the NLDS last year but was famously injured on a takeout slide from Dodgers by Chase Utley. The slide led to a rule change around takeout slides and folk hero status for Tejada, who received a standing ovation at Citi Field for Game 3."

If he knew he was going to get tossed, absolutely. It was definitely a purpose pitch but no way warranted an ejection. Wasn't near his head. Just unbelievable to toss him. Totally fucked us. And Utley wins again. Complete disgrace.

Is the offense sleepwalking or just not that good?

Sandy loaded up with LH pull hitters and they are getting killed by the shift. So many hard hit groundballs that would normally be hits, are turned into outs. And second-rate pitchers are shutting the Mets down by constantly pitching inside to LH hitters, so they have to pull.

Mets are #1 in the Beane Count, so this is a Moneyball lineup in an era where that philosophy does not appear to be working. All the good offenses hit for average these days.

just what the doctor ordered
