Bruce out ... injury or not hitting?

Ruggiano ... possible DL, he's got a shoulder

Rubin suggests:

0-for-4 with 4 Ks on Friday for Bruce. De Aza starting instead.

Rubin clarifies:

Terry Collins tells reporters at Citi Field that Jay Bruce day off is primarily to clear head, but calf still a little cranky

Justin Ruggiano (shoulder) to the DL, #Mets announce. T.J. Rivera back up.

Terry Collins said T.J. Rivera has begun fielding balls in the outfield. He'd be another right-handed hitter against lefties out there.

Matt Ehalt
TJ Rivera will get outfield reps. But Mets not slated to see any lefties soon.

Need conforto up

Instead of TJ
Asinine to not bring up Conforto

Its ridiculous how much injuriesRuggiano suffers
This team is coming together  
Vanzetti : 8/27/2016 5:05 pm : link
You can feel it.

To be honest, my greatest fear is Collins and his tendency to overmanage. If the game is decided on the field and not in the dugout or in the corporate offices, I'm very confident Mets can catch the Cardinals.
The Phillies,

who have won 59 games this season, have won 9 of Hellickson's last 10 starts. The one loss was to the Mets on July 15, 5-3. He went 7 innings and gave up 4 runs. Lagares and Walker hit HRs. Bartolo got the win.

Cespedes is so clutch  
ZGiants98 : 8/27/2016 8:46 pm : link
Whenever he gets in a huge pitch count battle you just know he's going to homer. Nice!!

Offense is back. If we only had Duda in this lineup over Loney..... sigh..
Cant we play the Phillies every day?

Reyes and Cabrera are red hot to go along with Ces and Walker  
ZGiants98 : 8/27/2016 9:48 pm : link
Man... with Duda....

1.) Reyes
2.) Cabrera
3.) Cespedes
4.) Duda
5.) Walker
6.) Bruce
7.) Conforto/Granderson
8.) TDA

WOW.

Oh well. Bruce and Granderson are ice cold. If they start come out and maybe Conforto and others contribute in September, we should have no problems scoring runs from this point forward.

Hellickson's been pretty damn good all year.
Come and San Diego and Oakland

inning and half and both the Cardinals and Marlins will have lost if they can hold their leads.

Cardinals lose

Mets about to be 2.5 back. Marlins about to lose too.
Nats, Cardinals, and Marlins lose...

Mets win! Nice day.
dude has been a superb manager  
SethFromAstoria : 8/27/2016 10:46 pm : link
this year. No time whatsoever in between when he gets his players back on the field and they start winning and hitting. Overcoming injuries and random pitcher missed starts and horrific underperformance to stay in it. Just have to stay hungry and focus on the prize. Win our games and not worry about other teams. Be the team no one wants to play.

This could really destroy the Mets momentum. Burn out the pen. Don't like throwing three minor leaguers in a row. Especially the first two going against Velasquez and Fernandez.

IMO a very poor decision to skip DeGrom's start when two minor leaguers are already going. Push him back to Tuesday for the extra day. DeGrom has to suck it up. Everybody is tired in the Dog Days.
Because the Mets ...
