Just started up - Wheeler has of course failed to get out of the first inning without allowing a run... again.
1. Juan Lagares (R) CF
2. Asdrubal Cabrera (S) 2B
3. Wilmer Flores (R) 1B
4. Michael Conforto (L) RF
5. Phillip Evans (R) LF
6. Luis Guillorme (L) 3B
7. Jose Lobaton (S) C
8. Zack Wheeler (L) P
9. Amed Rosario (R) SS
Nice to see the bats wake up last night - but it'll be a challenge to keep that going with Cespedes and Frazier on the DL.
Seems like this winds up being the case every year when Cespedes takes one of his 5 DL stints.
We wont score today
Guillorme
Evans
Lobaton
That's some murderers row shit!
Reminiscent of those Jay's teams with Molitor, Carter, Olerud, etc.
Evans
Guillorme
Lobaton
Wheeler
Awful against LHP.
Amazing catch right there by Pillar.
This type of shit lineup is usually what we get by July or so. Got blessed with this special type of garbage early this year!
Yeah, Wheeler and the Knicks top 3 pick will rule NY!
I mean, I'd like to do better than 4 automatic outs in a 9 player lineup - but maybe that's just way out there and crazy of me to expect.
Lobasuck today but agreed.

I am not sure what everyone expected with the LF, 3rd baseman and 2 righty hitting Catchers on the DL. Again, all righty bats going against a lefty today, day game after a night game.

I dont disagree, but like I said, we are down 3 righty bats due to injury. Not sure how many teams carry 4 good catchers, and it sucks being so lefty-heavy in the OF.
Wooooo
Weird I thought this was the beginning of a brilliant career?
LOL, really? He made a fake Mets fan handle?
Weird.. and sad.
Was wondering who that was.
I'm not sure what the Mets plan is to compete with these teams going forward. Just keep blaming injuries? DeGrom and Thor are just going to get more expensive and more than offset the Wright money coming off of the books.
Out of curiosity, how do you know this?

I'm 99.9% sure it's NYK.
And FrankieinFlushing lol
Dude isn't good. Sorry.

It's a good question. I think the Mets are now firmly behind WSH/ATL/PHI in terms of team building. While the Braves and Phillies re-tooled and rebuilt, we spent 3 consecutive offseasons trying to replicate the flukey 2015 team and it's not getting us anywhere.
Miami is awful but I think I'd rather build from the ground up than keep watching this trash.
Dude isn't good. Sorry.
No need to apologize, at least to most of us here. There is however one person that might take umbrage to the "garbage" comment. LOL!
Why Gsellman? Stretching him out for the rotation? Is this how you do that?

Meanwhile, Robert Gsellman is pitching for the 19th time in 39 games, three days after throwing three innings against the Phillies. The Mets trail by six. No one in baseball has thrown more relief innings than Gsellman this season.

If it was Collins, this entire thread would be killing him.
The managers aren't the problem with this team. It's Sandy Alderson.
He has to go.
Remember, accountability and performance apparently don't matter for this Mets team. Vargas and Wheeler can just get rocked all the time and are still apparently safe in the rotation. Jay Bruce under 100 wRC and on track for his 4th season of 1 WAR or less in 5 years yet somehow he plays every day and gets a fat contract while Nimmo rides the pine.

When you consider the usage of Gsellman in a silo, it tells you quite a bit about the starting pitching.
Can Dolan buy the Mets? He at least will spend money. I am so sick of the Wilponzis.
Its a AAA lineup out there except for Cabrera.
