Bummer about TDA today. Wheelz up! LGM!
A Gone out both nights.
Yelich is going to miss that series as well.
A Gone out both nights.
Assumed he'd play instead of lagares
Agree. They mentioned in the broadcast the other night he asked to be traded during the fire sale too
We gotta get on the board.
this is such a throwback to all those 1 hit shutouts to spot starters.
Also, 11 swinging strikes
yup... lets get him the win!
I actually literally called Wheeler would throw the best start of the season by any Mets pitcher tonight before deGrom pitched yesterday. I took a picture of it and shared it on MMO. lol.
Whos fhe emergency catcher?
He staying in for now.
Whos fhe emergency catcher?
Yes, Nido is on the bench.
I audibly laughed at this. So stupid, but so funny.
We gotta get through bottom 8 first.
Still 8th inning

Familia has just went one game after having been rested, why not go back to him?

Nah, he pitched Monday and Tuesday after being off Sunday - I think Mickey is going to use someone else in the 9th tonight.

Wow.
Hes our Andrew Miller.
Lee just waving meekly!
Leave him in there for the 9th.
Swarzak
Gsellman
Lugo
Ramos
Blevins
DAYUMM!!
Lee just waving meekly!
I don't remember the last time I saw such a feeble swing with 2 strikes
Just gotta hope we still have a fucking catcher.
Unfortunately I think the plan is to send Wheeler down

Wheeler will definitely get another start after this. They slowed down Vargas's timetable recently. Ill tell you what.. If Wheeler puts another start like this together Vargas will be the highest paid long man in baseball. You cant send Wheeler down again if he's looking like this. You just cant. The more I think about it, Vargas would look excellent coming in after all our hard-throwing righties as a long man from time to time.
It's still a long shot for Wheeler because he has to do this again but Im rooting for him....
Familia
Swarzak
Gsellman
Lugo
Ramos
Blevins
Vargas (long)
Send Robles, Sewald, and Rhame to AAA.
Good Lord.

You can’t send Wheeler down. He was dominant tonight. Sandy deserves to be smacked if he sends Wheeler down
Matz looked great in his last start. Im more worried about Harvey's last start but Harvey looked better in his first.. We'll see.

Agree, but I think Harvey has more of a bulldog mentality over matz. Matz strikes me as the type where he's great when things are going well but has issues with adversity
10-1 baby!
Ramos was out there not Rhame
No dude. He literally debuted just last year. He has three full option years left. He made the team off merit in ST because he looked good and can crank it up to 97 mph. It's not a big deal. He'll be back in AAA when Swarzak and a few other guys get back.
Whoohoo. LOVED that signing. I was practically begging for it all offseason. :)
This team is deep when healthy.
I'm not going to pretend this will last all year but April games count and this is huge come the dog days of summer.
Let's not rehash last night's math problem lol but 9 games over. 500 puts us in a great spot already
Hes an outstanding third baseman. Great signing
This team is deep when healthy.
Me. ;)

I really, really underestimated the impact Todd Frazier was going to have. He's been fucking outstanding in every way.

To give credit where credit is due, you were 100% all in on the signing
That's why we were able to withstand that horrendous pre-Ces summer stretch where we literally could not score to save our lives.
Don't underestimate how important these wins still are.
Quote:
Zack Wheeler, a traditionally low-inning pitcher, who didn't even make the team, would be the first starter to pitch 7 innings (I think even into the 7th inning).

Me. ;)
LOL you probably did
Per sny
As long as the price isn't crazy, and plaw misses any time, it's a move that needs to be made,. Sooner than later
If Shecky is right about the cost of acquiring him, we should be on the horn with them as soon as he's healthy. Even if Plawecki is okay.
It's early but this team clearly has the pieces to be in the mix all year. We'd be even better with Realmuto.
Quote:
Hopefully, Plawecki is ok. I could actually see Sandy trading for Realmuto this summer. We have a great team and not many weaknesses. That would be a huge move.

Hopefully his back is ok? I dont even know his timetable to return. Check out the guys splits. He's actually been hurt by playing in that monstrous home park. His away splits are incredible. I'd LOVE Realmuto.
Classy - thank you!
Just trying to enjoy it so far. I don't think even Z expected us to start off quite like this...

Problem is trades generally arent made this early. No matter what we offer, the Fish can be patient and shop our deal to other teams to see if anyone else bites. It's not ideal. There's a reason like 90% of all trades go down the last few days before the deadline.

Yeah, dude - if he checks out physically that's a go for it move that I think makes SO much sense. He wants out of there. They will trade him if they get anything that they think can potentially help down the line I think.
Excellent

This is mostly off my MMO preview stuff. I had us at a baseline of 89 wins. I did predict a fast start because of a new coaching staff regime/new attitude and a bit of a chip on the shoulder of so many guys coming back from injury. We'll have some injuries and hit some cold streaks. It wont be rosy all year but hopefully we reinforce the team at the deadline and have no major knockout blows and coast into the postseason. ;) Things are looking good and I swear there is a ceiling for a us to be playing much better.
I sure miss TC

You guys were derailed by ungodly injuries last year. Virtually lost all your starters on what could be argued the best starting staff in baseball and that was just the start.
Keep up the good work.
That's true but I feel like he got BABIP'd to death in his last spring start, he looked great in his AAA start. Even Shecky said he pitched better in AAA than people were even mentioning in that start. Then tonight he comes in with a major chip on his shoulder. Let's not forget Syndergaard and deGrom struggled against this same team the last two days. Im weirdly high on Wheeler right now.
I sure miss TC
Bwahahaha. I dont want to pile on the guy but good lord it's nice having a manager with a brain.
I sure miss TC
I know you are kidding but TC did a fine job while this team weathered some real financial difficulties, but it was definitely time for a change at manager. This team is refreshing to watch.
I sure miss TC
LOL
We will see how they fare against the Brew Crew
The Yanks just had a brawl witht he Sox
What gives me confidence is that he was sent down and specifically instructed to work on mechanical things - results weren't as important.
It looks like he's adjusted and so far, the benefits are visible.
I am absolutely with you that we need to see this against better hitters - the Marlins lineup has to be the worst in baseball - but I actually think it was really important for Wheels to get this confidence boost and see that the adjustments are working.
All very good things right now.. all very good things.
Bummed we're off tomorrow! Having too much fun watching these guys, but it'll be good to get a few guys a breather. Especially Cespedes. Let him rest up and be ready to roll Friday.
Familia will be fresh for the Brew Crew too.

I need to see how he does against an actual major league team before I start going gaga. Don’t mean to be the wet blanket but we’ve seen Wheeler before. Either way, nice job kid!

No doubt, but we know what Noah and Jake can do. They have more than proved themselves. Wheeler is still sort of an unknown but with loads of potential. I was also oddly high on Wheeler this spring. I’m sure he’ll have his bumps but if he can back this up with another quality performance he’ll start to win me over.
BUT - if Callaway loses as many players as Collins did last year and in 2016, I'm pretty sure the results wouldn't be a whole lot different.
This team is very healthy right now. That is playing a major role in this start.
That said, I have wanted an analytic manager that wasn't a "feel" guy for the longest time imaginable. Everything has been planned out. He has a move for everything. I just feel like the guy stays up late doing his homework like an Eli Manning might where Terry went for beers after the game. lol.

I don't think Sandy ever intended for Collins to manage as long as he did. He was a great option given the state of the Mets when they hired him but then the guys kept playing hard for him, Wright was strongly in his corner, and he managed them to the WS, so he kind of earned more time.
But this change was needed and I think the entire team is responding to a fresh manger and staff.

Absolutely - I'm not suggesting that Collins should still be here or that I wanted that. It was time for a change. 1000%.
I just think Callaway has a ton of options right now because the team is really healthy.
Collins barely ever had options last year because basically EVERYONE was hurt. Mickey wouldn't have been able to to do much of anything with that, either. I don't think any manager could.
That said, the biggest difference is that Mickey is creating a much more versatile culture. He's using players in all types of roles and situations - which is a great thing to do when you keep winning, because it gives these guys experience in all different situations. This type of thing pays huge dividends later on in the year.
Collins was too rigid, I think that was his major fault. He had his guys and his way of doing things and that was that.

I seriously would offer Gimenez. Gimenez is uber talented but the kid is still a bit away and raw. He barely cracked top 100 lists coming into this season. It's not like your parting with an untouchable piece PLUS we have Rosario. Wouldnt think twice.

Wright talked sandy out of firing Collins in August 2014
What's a realistic package look like then? lol. You already said "less". :)
The weird thing is... how much worse could we do from a player standpoint? Until the Wheeler start tonight no starter has been dominant. They have all been shaky including Thor and deGrom. Our best hitter has been ice cold and battling the flu. Conforto missed 5 games. We had to send Nimmo down because the pen is so taxed. The pen is missing it's best setup man. We have been getting big hits from guys like Frazier, Cabrera, and Flores but are we really even remotely hot yet? Seems like we are just grinding out wins in spite of being ice cold. What happens when this team heats up?
We will probably lose 4-5 games in a row at some point. It's going to happen.
BUT. (And Mickey touched on this in his postgame) I think it's really been huge for the team to win this way early on - because it reinforces the idea that they should never hang their heads and that they're always alive.
There's a culture forming here that will bode well for when things get dicey.
Todd Frazier is going to be invaluable when we hit rough patches. The things he said tonight about accountability and no "me" players tonight - the guy is just such a pro. And it's sad that I'm so excited about this because it's something you should always have in your clubhouse. But unfortunately, this team has been missing players like this for a long time and he was sorely needed here.
Kudos to the FO for understanding that and addressing it.
I didn't give credit for it at the time - but it's evident now as to why it was done and I certainly think they deserve some praise for that.
No team is as good as a 10-1 record. lol. That's like a .900 winning percentage. All Im saying is this team is loaded with talented players that arent playing well yet. We've basically been grinding and eeking out wins. I dont want to hear about the Marlins or Phillies either. Both teams put wins on the board against teams like the Cubs and we also beat the shit out of the Nats and Cardinals which are quality. Its hard to sweep ANY team in MLB. Obviosuly, we arent going to be playing at a 10-1 pace all year. All Im saying is this doesn't feel like a team playing over its head talent wise at all. It actually feels like its underachieving. And the pen is no joke. If Familia, Swarzak, Ramos, Gsellman, and Lugo stay healthy that pen will be lights out all year.
Small ball, baserunning and bullpen win games. Much more than Homeruns alone
15 loses? Slackers
Anyone find Nimmo?
Oh man. We are back to evaluating players on batting average and RBIs? Lucroy has been awful for over a year now. Realmuto is 27 years old coming off back to 3.5+ fWAR seasons. Lucroy is arguably a top 3 catcher in the sport if healthy. I know you love Lucroy but....

so far tonight. Man what a great problem to have at 1B brewing.

would much rather roll the dice on a veteran like Lucroy and not give up prospects. I am all for adding guys who are tough outs at the plate and play good D, but giving up one of the few premium prospects in the system for a .280 hitter who has never had more than 65 rbis (at any level) seems like a mistake. I know the catcher position sucks, but that wouldn't change the fact that he'd be hitting 7th or 8th in this lineup most nights.

Supposed to say "Realmuto" is a top 3 catcher if healthy.
Sure I could see them moving him. He has no place in their rebuild. Plus he wants out. I just assumed he would cost a lot since he has years of control left. Shecky says less Ill believe him though.
He’s actually older than most of the players they just traded away and the reason he hasn’t been traded is he’s injured. He hasn’t played a single game.
The guy who should be most nervous after last night is Matt Harvey. If Wheeler pitches well against the Nats and Harvey throws another stinker on Saturday, it'll be hard to keep Wheeler out of the rotation.

I don't dislike Realmuto but he isn't worth premium prospects. Pick any offensive stat you want he is a league average hitter. RC, XBH, OPS, OBP. I am not saying Lucroy is necessarily better, just similar and likely much cheaper to acquire. During Realmuto's back to back 3.5 WAR seasons Lucroy put up 1 better (4.6) and 1 worse (1.2), but even his worse season would have been better than any C on this roster in a few years.
Lucroy - .780 (.860. in 2016, .720 last year)
Realmuto - .775 (steady both years)
Total Defense (fangraphs)
Lucroy +21.9
Realmuto +22.9
Is it really worth giving up Gimenez or another really good prospect in the system for Realmuto? I'd much sooner ride with Plawecki for a little bit and just add a cheap veteran in a couple months if necessary.
If they were going to build around any of these guys, it would have been Ozuna and Yelich (they were never going to keep paying Stanton)
They won't be ready to compete for quite some time.
If Realmuto costs less than Gimenez, it's a no brainer.

+1.
I wouldn't mind checking in on Lucroy later on if OAK is looking to sell or even a lesser-known option like Murphy.
But if this team is going to make a push this year, we should be aggressive and try to upgrade that spot if an opportunity presents itself.

All for being aggressive, just don't want to give up our top prospects unless a real impact player is coming back (like the Cespedes deal in '15 or the Andrew Miller/Chapman deals for Cubs/Indians). If it's a Casey Meisner or Dilson Herrera level prospect by all means. Realmuto is still cheap and with the injury his value is down so I don't expect the Fish to be in a rush to accept a cheap return.

the Marlins will keep costs waaay low for many years to recoup some money from their exorbitant purchase.

If Plaw can get back into the lineup soon, I won't be terribly worried - I just think Realmuto makes a LOT of sense if the cost is reasonable. They're going to trade him - he really doesn't want to be there and there's really not much incentive to keep a grumpy player around who is just going to leave before they're ready to compete anyway.

Oh yeah, I think we mostly agree - I'm not looking to give up a huge haul. I just think that if it's possible to get him without needing to include Gimenez and a lesser package works, I would do it.
Just seems to make a lot of sense to check in and see if he's acquirable.

They’re doing fine financially. No need to cut costs further when you DOUBLE A ball club outdraws your MAJOR LEAGUE club. While a New York team is in town nonetheless...
Free Nimmo! - ( New Window )
I think everyone agrees nimmo played well enough to stay up. He has options though and they needed arms. I think he'll be up relatively soon
With Lugo and Gsellman in the pen there is no reason we also need a 8 man pen.

Against righties and no DH there is no space unless our 1B are struggling
There's really not much we can do. Conforto and Cespedes should be playing every day. Bruce is only going to sit if it's a really tough lefty or he needs a maintenance day.
AGon has been really good so far too - so we can't even put Bruce at 1B to open up a spot for Nimmo.
And then there's Lagares who we can use against lefties and will come in for late game defense when we're protecting leads.
I just don't see how Mickey can possibly get Nimmo the AB's he deserves right now. It sucks for Brandon but there's really no easy answer.
That's what I want too - Wheeler looked fucking awesome and if the adjustment he made was the reason, he might have a better year than both Matz AND Harvey. He looked fantastic.
Vargas definitely didn't sign here to be a long man and I have a feeling he'd be miffed at it - but hey. Either buy in or get lost. Frazier said it last night... no "me" guys here. Everyone is a team player

No space for what? There is zero reason why every person in our OF and AGone can’t get one day off a week (Bruce slides over) but forget about that. Nimmo is an impossible out late in the game coming off the bench. Who on our bench do you bring in to face a tough righty right now?
I know we all want to see the “A lineup” every day but the season is 6 months long and these guys play every day. Keep everyone fresh.

Yup exactly. He’s an older guy and throws junk. I envision a rubber like Colon arm. You can’t send Wheeler down if he keeps pitching he way he is and Callaway made it seem like he was damn excited for Wheelers next start against the Nats. You in essence are still keeping Vargas for SP depth. He can slide into the rotation at any time if a pitcher goes down or faulters.
But if Mickey could get Nimmo 3-4 starts a week, I'd love for him to be back up. Kid is putting together some great AB's and looks like he's taking the next step
I'm sure he can still improve from here. I just don't want to stunt him when he's in a really good spot developmentally.
This stuff always has a way of working itself out, though...
Just keep winning.

U need all your depth to play 162 games plus postseason
LOL, I can hear the sound in my head..
"UUHHHHHHHHHH"
I also agree though that if they are not inclined to do that and want to start Conforto, Cespedes, Bruce, and AGone every day then that won't cut it either.
Great problem to have I guess.
We are starting to get logjams all over the roster. Like I've mentioned when everyone's back there is a good chance Sewald, Robles, and Rhame all have to head back to AAA. The rotation has a bunch of guys deserving of spots on the outside looking in.
Smith with 2 doubles last night and a HR is likely going to make things very interesting on AGone eventually.
Heck, Cecchini and his supposed fixed swing is hitting in Vegas although it's very early.
Really the only issue is catcher and it's a brand new issue due to injury. Lot's of interesting situations developing though.
