NFT: Mets @ Cards @ 8:15 ~ Now or never, act IV ...

2015 Niese when he was red hot

turned down an Ike Davis for Zach Britton trade in 2014?

this bullpen would be nasty with Britton, Familia, and Reed.

though who knows if Familia would be Familia or Reed would be on the team if the trade happened.

If there was ever a time to make a contribution to this 2016 team, now is it.

very strong

Neil Walker
Thank you all for the warm wishes. Baby Nora and Momma are doing great. God Bless

.

This team literally NEVER scores runs and takes a lead and then follows it up with a quick frame. We give the runs right back every single time.

The Mets just can't get out of their own way.

give it right back. Knew it

hes hurt now. If you were hurt you shouldn't have taken the fucking mound

I can't believe I'm even letting this team annoy me again. Ugh.

as a reliever stuff? Not so much anymore?

The guy tweaks something every other game.

he's just shot. Blame the Mets for starting him tonight and trading for him.

unreal.

and leaves a sloppy mess for Gsellman.

Bringing back Niese might be the worst decision of Sandys Mets tenure. Collins would probably pitch Niese again tomorrow if he could. Moron.

Niese vs Cards in 3 previous starts: .348 BA, 7.31 ERA

Maybe it keeps the cost down 😀

It's funny because it doesn't even matter how many runs ahead we get.. in SF we hit a grand slam and took a 4 run lead and deGrom not only gave all 4 right back in the same inning but they actually took the lead too. It doesn't matter who is pitching, it doesn't matter who we are playing against.. when we score runs and get out to a lead, it is a guarantee we will not follow it up with a quick, clean inning .

Needs to be released

.

Reyes and Cabrera clutch!!

Good lord...

!

scoring 10 tonight... and losing

what's wrong with deGrom and why is he pitching? He looks disheveled.

Jon Niese officially left the game with left knee pain, per Rubin

James Wagner
Niese left the game with left knee pain, Mets announce. Also say that Niese didn’t feel it during bullpen. It set in during the game.

He was in the game about 3 minutes

I swear Collins wants to win the popularity contest among the vets, instead of playing to win the damn games

We all knew how this Niese start will turn out. SHORT.

Bruce's struggles continue. 0-for-2 today, now just 12-for-73 with 4 XBH and 6 RBI with the #Mets, per Michael Baron.

Did anyone NOT think Bruce was going to come here and absolutely suck? It was the easiest thing to see coming.

Strikes out a ton but hits a lot of bombs...just what the mets need, because they don't have enough of those already.

SMH

and that was a hell of a play by Cabrera. Middle infield defense is about the only thing that has gone right this year.

I want him on the team next season

While some of that might be true, Bruce has been absolutely dreadful as a Met. What he's shown hasn't really been indicative of the player he is but I have always said Bruce is a streaky dude. I remember people here were campaigning for Bruce LAST year over Cespedes at the deadline.

I think Bruce got in a slump when he got here and the whole lineup hit the DL simultaneously. He probably tried to overcompensate. Just a guess though.

Pick up. Dude kills lefties for his career and can play all 3 OF spots. I think I might like him over Lagares. lol

Bruce is our new Duda. Let him play 1st base.

the bats are swinging tonight. Keep it coming!

Jose.

Run Jose Run!

BTW. He's been "Lucroy-esque" Maybe he'll get hurt again but I dont think we could of asked for much more.

Its a very strong lineup against lefties. We finally got some players back and Ill give Collins credit for playing the correct splits tonight.

6 runs and Cespedes and Bruce have done squat and Walker with his wife. That's nice.

our entire lineup get hot together... except for JB.

Bruce couldn't hold Duda's jock strap but while Duda is out, sure. He'd certainly be better than that contact hitter, no power Loney guy.

the next start.

Fucking imbecile.
