We'll be doing one each month for the rest of the season. It'll be easier to consolidate info this way and for everyone to be able to follow along any news and information centering around the club's various affiliates.

gravy game  
KDavies : 4/21/2024 3:45 pm : link
don't expect much with Houser against this Dodgers lineup and Glasnow. Nice to already have a series win
Raley  
DanMetroMan : 4/21/2024 3:47 pm : link
To the IL (elbow) not good
Raley to IL with elbow inflammation on throwing arm  
KDavies : 4/21/2024 3:49 pm : link
not good. Hartwig called up. Big loss for the bullpen.

Garrett's emergence looms even larger if he can pitch the important innings Raley did

Likely on the radar though 7 walks over 7 innings in Syracuse

The complete overhaul of his repertoire is really something. Results so far have been astounding .

No. That's going to hurt.

Jeez, he's an important piece...next man up I suppose.

Easy to see this one (especially against Glasnow) as "playing with house money," but so much of the marathon baseball season is not who you play, but when you play them...

Dodgers not at all hitting their stride, Met's playing over their heads a bit...why not a sweep? Hope Houser can keep them in the game with a short bull pen.

Nice to have Baty back in the line-up, a reality that is a good sign for this team.

Oh, and DJ Stewart leading the team in OPS...

Reed Garrett? Wow....

I honestly don't know where the Mets bullpen would be without him. We all talked about how they should have brought in an additional high leverage arm beyond Diaz, Raley, and maybe Otto. Without Raley and no Garrett breakout? Yikes.

At least they can slide in Garrett (hopefully) into Raley's spot. Only have Diekman as a lefty out of the pen

He’s having a nice season, guess it depends how well they think his mid to high 80’s FB would play

Broke the streak---finally.
sucks about raley hopefully it's not long term  
Eric on Li : 4/21/2024 4:53 pm : link
ohtani hit the crap out of that ball. 110mph. they were due they have hit a lot of balls to the warning track in this series.
bader reminds me of cameron in CF  
Eric on Li : 4/21/2024 5:05 pm : link
he isn't smooth like beltran or andruw jones he just covers a ton of ground.
prob a white flag gm now but marte almost made his best play in 2 yrs  
Eric on Li : 4/21/2024 5:24 pm : link
came really close to a diving catch on a 108 mph line drive double with an expected batting average of .770. so basically a < 25% catch probability. we will be really happy if he continues to do everything he is doing so far.
Woof

That’s already two stinkers in Housers first 4 starts. Not inspiring.

The NL East is going to be a dog fight all year. And the Braves and Phillies just don’t lose. I can see easily see it taking 90+ wins to get into the WC / postseason this year.

to get a backup shortstop to toss a few innings
However - the Phillies had had the pleasure of facing  
CooperDash : 4/21/2024 5:36 pm : link
mostly garbage teams to start the season (in stark contrast to the Mets opponents), so let’s hope that the Phillies fall back to earth when they face better teams.

I'm not a fan. Enough of this Flushing Brewers ish. When Senga is ready, send Houser to the bullpen. He can be an occasional 6th starter and long man in the bullpen along with starting in double header games.
Enough with Houser  
Metnut : 4/21/2024 6:00 pm : link
Not like the guy’s track record justifies giving him any more spots. Stop wasting Scott’s innings in AAA and put him into the rotation into Houser’s spot.
Off to San Fran...  
dannysection 313 : 4/21/2024 6:09 pm : link
Yea, Houser not impressive but we won't see Senga for a while.

Hopefully, Houser will at least keep the Mets in games.

I was watching the Rangers, came back to the Mets and it was 10-0.....laugher....move on.

Same. #LGR
Mercifully over.  
Optimus-NY : 4/21/2024 6:32 pm : link
10-0 loss is fugly, but tomorrow's another game. Hopefully the Mets can avoid more injuries. Being down Alvy and Raley sucks enough as it is.

@timbhealey
Brooks Raley’s MRI showed no structural damage in his left elbiw, Carlos Mendoza said. The Mets expect him back in about two weeks.
Flush yesterday' loss down the toilet

Good news about Raley not having any structural damage to his elbow.
