No Nimmo tonight -- had hoped he might get in for Bruce or Conforto -- but Reyes gets a start. Hopefully he can get something at all going offensively.

Guess that Callaway feels like the righty ace Teheran is a better fit for Bruce than Rosario.
Hopefully we see Nimmo day game after night game tomorrow.
Let's rattle the bats, Mets!
I wouldn't call it a love affair.
You have a long-time starter on your bench. You have to get him so AB's if you are going to carry him and resting your raw SS against a team's ace ahead of a night game seems a logical spot.
I don't dislike the occasional start for Jose. You've got to use him sometimes if you are going to carry him.
Much more puzzled by the willingness to run Bruce out night after night right now when he's been recovering from plantar fasciitis and struggling.
But, I guess Mickey 100% believes that these vets will get going only by playing. He's been good so far, so I am going to quit bitching.
Pretty sure one of the OF's gets a rest tomorrow in the day game.
I don't think 21 at bats on the season qualifies as a "love affair".
OPS of 2.000 in his last one AB.
I've watched every game and still trying to figure out how we are 14-5...
C'mon Cabrera. It's up to you as usual!

It's really true. Comes down to bullpen, Cabrera, Frazier and occasional timely hitting by the cold crew.
Lol :)))

Honestly, it’s luck. We went 12-1 with okay/not great pitching, mostly clutch hitting and many things just going the Mets way. Totally not sustainable. I was just hoping that the hitting would come around before that ended. It hasn’t. So that pretty much makes us a .500 team which is exactly what we’ve been playing like. I mean, every other NL East team has pretty much been overachieving with their offense outside of the Mets who are dreadful. Not sure what the deal is.

with Ces, Bruce, and Conforto struggling like this. Also with Thor not going deep, and Matz/Harvey results.

Um, okay? Im fine...thanks bud.
Of course they do. But the offense hasn’t been struggling for just the last two and a half games. Not really sure why you took issue with my comment. It was merely factual in response to another post, unless you disagree.
It'll be better when the top pitching prospects Luiz Gohara, Mike Soroka, Max Fried and possibly Kyle Wright and Kolby Allard get here this year. I would like to see Newcomb moved to the pen just for this year if they are in the hunt for a WC spot. With the success of Gsellman and Lugo in the pen I would like to see the Braves take a similar approach with Newk.
That’s right, baby. Get ready!!
Please no DP
Man, this team cannot hit at all right now.
Praying for a sac fly from Ces.
Dude needs to make some goddamn contact.
Someone please get a goddamn run home from third in the next two batters.
PLEASE
Please Cabrera, do something for fuck's sake.
Goddamn.
