Flores's infection is in a joint, per TC. Mets return to 7-man bullpen by adding Familia & optioning Gilmartin & Montero. Plawecki is up.

Also Montero and Gilmartin sent to Triple-A. #Mets.

Randazzo with a weird argument with me on twitter. He's saying Lagares should play a lot more than he does.. uh over whom exactly? Who are you benching for Lagares when everyone is healthy? He cites Kevin Kiermaier. Kiermaier career 106 OPS+, Lagares 86. Other than both being great defensive players it's a silly suggestion and comparison.

Lagares should play more in the 8th and 9 th innings with the Mets leading.
"Juan Lagares has become the teams backup infielder. Lagares originally played shortstop in the minor leagues, but he has not played there since 2009 with the Savannah Sand Gnats."
I'm shocked Duda, TDA, and Flores all are still on the team and didn't get DLed. Have to consider that a blessing. Bye bye Montero and Gilmartin.
How many times has Duda even played 150 games in a season? Been top 10 in MVP voting? all star games? silver sluggers? Answer to all of those things is 0, except playing 150 games, he did that once.
Jay Bruce has had farts linger longer than the fleeting glimpse of Lucas Duda the "better player" (who hasn't been seen since May 2015).
Other than a week-long hot streak here or there he's largely invisible. He hits the ball far, but that doesn't thrill me on a team that can already hit more home runs than most teams and has done that with Duda on the DL more often than not.

I'd love to see if a single other person in here would agree with you? Jay Bruce a better hitter than Lucas Duda? Anyone?? Anyone?? Dan what do you say about that? This whole place wanted Bruce gone and traded and after 2 hot weeks he's suddenly a better hitter than a healthy Lucas Duda?? As usual, your distortion of facts always make for a good laugh. May 2015?? LOL. LIAR. July 2015. wRC+ 106, August 2015 168, September 2015 157. That's MVP-level play over that stretch. ALL of 2014 and all of 2015 he was a wRC+ 130s hitter. Jay Bruce has never come close to that a single time in his entire life. Lucas Duda missed last year to injury. That makes him a bad hitter? Jay Bruce CAREER 108. Lucas Duda CAREER 122. And Silver sluggers? LOL. You realize they give those out based on position right? There is way more competition at first base and they literally have nothing to do with each other. Thanks for the chuckle though Eric.
Even though Duda is much better for his career anyway, Bruce's last few years have actually been the worse years of his career. Most of his career stats are puffed up by nice seasons a long time ago even though he's still basically only a hair over league average.
RE: So 2 agreed within 5 minutes, but you're welcome for the chuckle
Bruce totally hit a few more home runs than Duda did once bro... totally makes him a better hitter...nevermind he gets on base a million times less. He's also a huge RBI guy with Votto on in front of him bro.. RBI's are totally relevant... Oooh oooohh I got one... Bruce has a career batting average of .249! Duda's is .246!! I rest my case!
Can you take 1 day off from making game threads insufferable?
you're whole routine is a potent mix of sad/tiring and we've all seen it at least 500 times at this point.
One day off?? There hasnt been one issue here save for last night's blow up with PJ and it seems like we are 100% good now. Not one.
As for tonight, Im not cursing you out. You want to come at me with phony BS stats Im going to come back at you with real relevant data. But lets move on. The discussions with you and OPS are tiresome and you are never going to agree with me.
I think it's safe to say Thor is on his game tonight...

Excluding 16 wild card, last time Noah Syndergaard walked a batter was Sept. 19. Thats a span of 102 batters, including 1st inning today.
Might have been but I also think Duda would have had that ball over the foul line on the back hand that started the inning. Sloppy, messy inning all around.
To fault Bruce for not getting to that all but of bounds ball
Make RA the 5th starter. Put Wheeler in the pen. Not now but come July. You add Wheeller to this pen and if Smoker keeps developing, bullpen goes from suspect to one of the best in baseball

It is very early but I am very surprised by how well Dickey has been so far. I expected Jaime Garcia to pitch well and Dickey to struggle but Dickey has been the better pitcher so far. Of course it is such a small sample size but Dickey might net a decent prospect after all IF he can keep this up.

Give me credit Jay! I called it. Said he'd be annoyingly good and you'd end up liking him! ;)
and it appears that he might... I am totally fine with Grandy getting less time when Duda comes back. I know it's early and Grandy does this every year but Grandy is not part of this future. He's 36.
against the Marlins and Phillies. While I think the Marlins are a better club than they are given credit for, a loss like last Saturday night is unacceptable. The Phillies just suck.
They are now on the verge of wasting the entire month of April against the NL East as they welcome the Nats.
Throw in a banged up roster, no YC, no Duda and things can get serious around here very quickly.
2 huge early starts for deGrom and Harvey coming up.

Don't worry, games in April are meaningless. At least, that's what I hear.

Still training the Mets? My friend (personal trainer) was on Michigan staff when this guy was on Rich Rods staff. Said he didnt agree with his method of training. Blames him for all the injuries

I had a similar infection issue in my ankle when I played lacrosse in college. It was really bad, they almost had to amputate my foot.
An infection like that makes you physically ill, I ran a really high fever and lost a lot weight. This could have long term implications, we might not see Wilmer for a while and when we do he could be a shell of himself.

hopefully it isn't MRSA. Yeah, I doubt we see him until All star break.
FIT for King Bruce - ( New Window )
So far he has this season, with Rivera after him.
It is still a mystery why he decided to pay Neil Walker 17 million but thank the lord that he kept Jay Bruce.
Rosario has 0 extra base hits, 2 walks and such a move would cost the Mets potentially 20+ million dollars on the back end so... aka not happening.
Wilmer Flores out with an infection. Spent last night in hospital according to #Mets sources.

Carig says the Phillies were "closest" for 2 prospects

Noah Syndergaard hit 100 MPH three times and strikes out the side in the first inning.
Justin Dunn worked a 1-2-3 2nd inning against Dunedin. 2 SO on the night. @stluciemets 1, Dunedin 0 Top 3. #Mets
Excluding 16 wild card, last time Noah Syndergaard walked a batter was Sept. 19. Thats a span of 102 batters, including 1st inning today.

Give me credit Jay! I called it. Said he'd be annoyingly good and you'd end up liking him! ;)
its only April
Great job Scooter

I hate to admit it but you were right. He was my least favorite addition to the rotation but he is growing on me.
Yup. Salas, Reed, and Blevins have the most appearances in baseball. Smoker's looked great and doesn't have half the innings. ugh.
Zimmerman's on fire. Biggest shock so far for me for that team. If he somehow found the fountain of youth we might be in trouble.

Let's win this thing!!!!
The red hot Nats are in town tomorrow.
They are now on the verge of wasting the entire month of April against the NL East as they welcome the Nats.
Throw in a banged up roster, no YC, no Duda and things can get serious around here very quickly.
2 huge early starts for deGrom and Harvey coming up.
Please DL Duda or Flores so we can get someone up here like Cecchini or TJ Rivera.

You cant make this shit up
WTF, man. Can I enjoy one baseball season without this? I guess not.
All these players have to practice yoga
Yeah he still is employed by the Mets
I don't really count Cespedes' and his "injuries" anyway. He'd pull himself out of a game if he got the hiccups.
I feel like half the team just got wiped out in a 2 day stretch.
An infection like that makes you physically ill, I ran a really high fever and lost a lot weight. This could have long term implications, we might not see Wilmer for a while and when we do he could be a shell of himself.
Lasted for 3 days (which means will we really see DeGrom on Saturday? A game I happen to be attending?)
