Saturday sucked, Sunday was a washout, yesterday was an off day.

Time to get back on track. Out in StL now, heading to the West Coast for a set with the Pads. Would like to see us take 4 of these 6 road games before we get back home for a re-match with the Barves.

Who did this schedule?  
Rflairr : 4/24/2018 7:33 pm : link
The Mets are going out West and only playing one team???
.  
arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 7:37 pm : link
Yeah, I thought that was weird too.

I don't think we go any further than Arizona until the very beginning of September when we head back to CA to play SF and LA.
The only records the Mets ever set are bad ones lol  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 8:20 pm : link
37 Ks in 20 games for Cespedes...oof.

arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 8:23 pm : link
I think we caught a break there - looked like Scooter was out.

He very well may have been out, but it definitely wasnt conclusive. But I agree.

Wonderful start.
Dumb lead off walks

Here we go.  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 8:34 pm : link
I can see the two days off did us well lol.

arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 8:34 pm : link
3 batters up, 0 batters out.

Looks like Wheeler was told to keep the ball down and is taking it to an extreme.
I wonder if the Mets  
pjcas18 : 4/24/2018 8:36 pm : link
have the worst 1st inning ERA in the league.

Seems like there are a lot of early struggles.
Jesus, how the heck does Wong get to that ball while  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 8:48 pm : link
playing in? Great play. Unlucky for the Mets.

arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 8:52 pm : link
I can't stand Nido. He's horrible.
Up there hacking when all we need is a SF  
Rflairr : 4/24/2018 8:52 pm : link
Unreal
This is a bad offensive team.  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 8:53 pm : link

Every season this team  
Rflairr : 4/24/2018 8:54 pm : link
Is horrible with a runner at third and less than two outs.

arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 8:57 pm : link
Do they need to talk about Paul DeJong's ridiculous series against us last year every single time he bats?

This is the 4th time we've played StL this year and I swear they re-hash this every fucking AB he has.
Shouldnt be a surprise, really. We all knew going into the season  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 9:00 pm : link
that we were going to need health and a hell of a lot of luck to even get close to the wild card. Well, we lost a starter, our best reliever, and both catchers to injury. And we sure as hell aint very lucky. Hence, the Mets.

Not taking the bait haha
Wheeler isnt fooling any of the Cardinal hitters.  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 9:18 pm : link
They are on top of everything (or hes walking them).

2 swings and misses out of Wheelers 51 pitches so far tonight. It would be nice if that percentage were to improve. #Mets
Maybe in May we can see our pitchers pitch a game  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 9:26 pm : link
with their best stuff. Or maybe the hitters. Ill take one. Maybe the weather will be more conducive for the Mets players comfort factor.

LOL, yeah... excuse season has come and gone for me.

Tired of hearing about how everyone is ice cold or the weather hasn't warmed up yet.

Gotta be better if we want to stay in the mix all year.
Well, Wheeler is having quite a piss poor game.

I'm done with Wheeler

how this team was 12-2 is beyond me

Smoke and mirrors. Easy to win games when EVERYTHING goes your way.

At some point, that ends.
Lol, Wheeler wont even make it through 5 innings.  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 9:43 pm : link
Nice job kid.
Time has come to move on from the 5 as a collective  
moespree : 4/24/2018 9:45 pm : link
Matz, Harvey and Wheeler offer next to nothing at this point. It is too bad we never really go to see them all healthy and at their best at the same time, but that's sports and that's life.
.  
arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 9:48 pm : link
Enough with the fucking 4 inning starts, man. Can't keep happening no matter how many BP arms we use.
So I think you need to give him one more start  
bhill410 : 4/24/2018 9:48 pm : link
And if he faulters move gsellman back to the rotation
.  
arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 9:52 pm : link
Our best rotation would probably be...

Thor
deGrom
Gsellman
Lugo
Vargas

Throw the other 3 guys into the bullpen. Harvey is already there. Problem is - all three of them seem to struggle early in games. So that isn't going to work.

I still have a sliver of hope for Matz.... but that's quickly running out as well.
Cespedes took out his driver on that one  
Eric on Li : 4/24/2018 9:56 pm : link
holy crap.

arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 9:56 pm : link
Ces fucking CRUSHED that.

No doubter off the bat.

Tie game.
Ces Bomb!  
figgy2989 : 4/24/2018 9:56 pm : link
That ball was crushed
Way to go Yo  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 9:56 pm : link
He was sitting on a fast ball down the middle of the plate the whole way. Everyone knew that pitch was coming lol.
Jesus did he cover that one!  
Stufftherun : 4/24/2018 9:57 pm : link
Sitting dead red and pounded it!
.  
arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 9:58 pm : link
LOL, this guy completely lost the zone.

He threw like one strike in his last 20 offerings and it was the pitch Cespedes hit about 800 feet.
Haha that pitch to Yo was a batting practice strike. No way  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 9:59 pm : link
Weaver was going to walk a third batter. Glad Yo got a hold of it. What a moon shot.
Holy shit!!  
RodneyHamp : 4/24/2018 9:59 pm : link
Did that ball land yet?????
nice to see other teams have crappy pitchers too  
Eric on Li : 4/24/2018 9:59 pm : link
will be interesting to see Harvey out of the pen.
Bruce better go on a hitting streak soon to remove the stink  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 10:05 pm : link
of him playing over Nimmo. Im sure Mickey has sufficiently iced off Nimmos hot start but still.
Oh Shit.  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 10:06 pm : link
Now that Harvey is in the pen, can we switch his name to Robin?
.  
arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 10:06 pm : link
Matt Harvey.. (not) a starting pitcher.
Nope, Harvey sucks out of the pen too.  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 10:11 pm : link
Sigh.
Its real nice that Harvey gets to work things out in actual games  
PhiPsi125 : 4/24/2018 10:12 pm : link
instead of the minors.

arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 10:16 pm : link
Can we have Curtis back and send Bruce to TOR?
Hell never be an  
Stufftherun : 4/24/2018 10:17 pm : link
effective pitcher at this level if he doesnt put his ego aside and learn the true art of pitching.

3 years for Bruce continues to be such a weird decision. If you reversed the contracts for Frazier and Bruce it would make a lot more sense, it's just odd given their "salary cap" that they valued Bruce so highly.
