it allows him to rest and rehab properly without the stress of pitching in Queens. It also gets the Mets a chance to remove one of their worse starters this season out of the rotation without the embarrassment

Good post. I don't think Harvey is a lost cause yet by any means, but he wasn't helping the team that way he was pitching. A chance for him to rest, work on his mechanics and maybe come back better could be a good thing for us.

We really need to cross our fingers that the rest of the starters stay healthy. DeGrom/Matz/Gsellmen/Lugo/Wheeler isn't an elite rotation like we were hoping but it still has the potential to be pretty good and get us back into the race.

to be vintage Degrom or our season is really toast.

He is hitting .400 against LHP. Does not seem like a good spot to rest him.

The blessing might be that the injury will make Sandy think twice about signing him longterm. I think Sandy really wants to sign him as a comp for losing Murphy.

Might also make Walker amenable to a two-year deal. Given that he will be 32 and will have missed significant time each of the last two seasons, teams will be reluctant to give him a long deal.

Walker has been much more clutch in his second season in NY. Definitely would not mind him on a two-year deal, especially since Cecchini is looking more and more like a bust

it seems like Rivera and TDa are alternating games.

Evan Engrom is pitching the first pitch at Citifield tonight.

This series definitely has a little juice... didn't think there was any chance it would as recently as a few weeks ago.

Actually a little pumped for this. Hopefully the Mets don't kill my buzz.

that I thought the Mets should deal Harvey right then and there. He thought I was crazy. I'm only right about such things very occasionally. Damn, the guy is a fucking train wreck.

At this point he might be a guy they consider non tender this offseason

Can we NOT give up a HR in the first inning at some point?

Doubles.
2-1 nats

Just keep it close and work gios pitch count now

How the hell can you not make that play. Embarrassing defense.

Shoulda known this team wouldn't show up tonight.

I don't know why I get my hopes up.

Gsellman with their defense today

F Ramirez. What a joke

than Wilmer, who should be playing 2nd.

Looks like a Montero and Neil Ramirez night

cough another one up to the defense

shouldn't they recall Pill or Robles?

The Mets with a short bench again.

Reynolds pulled from Vegas game

Welp, that's the end of Lagares for a long time.

So much for getting healthy. Never happens with this team.

Lagares finally getting his chance. And playing well. And now he breaks his thumb. Everyone injured

For one day. Lol

until Amed arrives

I get that the Lagares injury probably happens no matter what but how can this org not take a serious look at the trainers and methodology being used on these players?

The fact that this entire fucking team is getting hurt year in and year out cannot possibly be a coincidence at this point. I honestly think there's a problem with this training staff and have said it many times. I wish they'd take a more serious look at this and overhaul the entire thing. It sure as hell can't get any fucking worse.

For three clean mop up innings

The Giants proved that a training staff can have a profound impact on injuries. It is no coincidence that the Giants led the league two years in a row, even setting a new NFL record for starters games lost to injury, with Coughlin's staff and then they are among the healthiest in football with McAdoo's new staff.

rough. Completely misjudged the pitching matchup. Gio was really good and Gsellmen wasn't good. Lagares injury sucks.

Oh well. Let's steal it tomorrow vs Scherzer and have some fun this weekend. Can we please bring Rosario up? Reyes is sooooooo bad and Reynolds is worse.

Or will it be Pill to replace Harvey?

Or will it be both since all these guys are going on the DL simultaneously?

Yup, the Giants are exactly why I am feeling very strongly that this is a training staff issue. The Mets are ravaged by injuries every fucking year. I can't even remember the last season that it felt like barely anyone got hurt. It's ridiculous.

Nimmo has been struggling in Vegas.

He's the only AAA OFer on the 40-man.

Nimmo is not really even a prospect any more and Cecc is fringe at best

he still has much more of a chance to do something than Nimmo.

Mets must win the next two games to salvage the series.

with a lazy throw to 2nd base failed us

they are down 6-1 and top of ninth with two outs

only fuckin terry

they walk someone with the bases loaded

kudos. He's still our one true ACE.

To those who still care about the Mess

much hope after they were embarrassed in the first three games of the series. Thank God for Jake salvaging the final game.

will probably beat up the mets pretty good the next few days

the dreadful Reyes gets a seat on the bench. Flores gets 2b and TJ plays 3rd every day from now until Walker returns.

Game is over even before one out is registered. Kershaw day.

this LA team might be the class of the NL

over as a game can be before the first inning is over.

good hitting prospects/young studs

Jealous.

Love when the Mets let me get to bed nice and early during a WC trip.

This team fucking sucks.

?

Mr Bellinger

won't forget that moment anytime too soon.

he could be a nice piece for a team that could use a guy that makes good contact and is hard to strike out.

problem is, he is strictly 2nd base. But yeah, I 'd rather let go of Reyes and Cabrera

Reyes and Walker on last years, Cabrera has an option that's probably a 50-50 proposition right now. 2 are obviously hurt right now and Reyes has been terrible. Not saying it's gonna happen, but the job is there for someone to win.
