I feel like this will be a real tough test for Harvey tonight. Chase Anderson was damn good last year. The Mets have the best record in baseball though! Lets fucking keep this streak going! LGM!
Anderson just got the hook lol, I feel this Brewers bullpen can get worked on
Im just joking around but when you say at the beginning of the game that he has to deal with shitty conditions...you are making an excuse.
Harvey isnt a good pitcher, unfortunately. Lord knows Id love him to be one. But the occasional quality start wont make him a good pitcher. Hopefully Mickey can see this and keeps his leash short.
His biggest issue is not being able to deep into a season. He's been stuck at around 150 innings which isnt good.
They pull this one out...

You dont think that a pitchers almost entire body of work is relevant? Yes, pitchers learn new pitches to throw but its also not common to have it just click at 30 years old. Admittedly, I didnt see him pitch much because I only caught the end of his night. Just thought it was interesting...never knew much about Anderson.
Oh well...cant win them all.
This weather blows. It shouldve been in the 60s at night
Robles is who we thought he is. Sewald looked pretty good. Offense has cooled off. I'm already sick of Lobaton so hopefully Nido can catch lightning in a bottle for a week.
And can the media please stop calling Harvey the Dark Knight? Its just embarrassing.

It sucks for everyone, but any variable is harder for someone who is actively changing their game. Harvey coming back is like Tiger coming back after all his injuries. It's gonna take time.

definitely more Nido and less Lobaton
"According to the latest New York Mets trade rumors, the Tampa Bay Rays may be willing to help them with their catching issues. Is a deal for Wilson Ramos coming in the future?"

Anthony Kay, Mets first Rder from 2016, had a good night (even better then final line indicates) in his second pro start for Columbia:
6 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, BB, 5 K, 89 pitches/58 strikes
The lefty topped out at 96 mph and two runners he left scored off reliever.

Mets fans should start getting excited about him. Fastball was good last night, also spun a few good curveballs and sliders. If he stays healthy he could move fast.
Again, when you the make the statement that YOUR pitcher has to deal with shitty conditions...you are making an excuse. And the conditions werent shitty in the least bit. It was 55 degrees on an otherwise beautiful night. Get over it. Im tired of hearing about the weather. If I was 70 degrees Im willing to bet Harvey would have been just as shitty and the bats would have been just as cold.
Both teams dont make mistakes. Bother pitchers do not struggle. Both teams do not make careless errors. Just call it was it is...a shitty game by the Mets. Its gonna happen plenty so lets just quit it with the weather stuff.
I dont see why not. But assuming we have a buffer of about 10-15 million do you want to blow that all now? Do you want to wait until the deadline and see what other needs we might have? Just because you have the 10 million doesn't mean you shouldn't still be prudent. Maybe the Rays would eat some if we gave up an interesting prospect? I don't know the right answer there. Ramos would be a nice add but I still might be trying to add Realmuto at the deadline if he's in play because he could be our catcher for multiple seasons. We also might have other injuries by July 31st we have to address.

Nobody is making excuses over the weather because it sure as hell hasnt effected wins and losses. It still sucks. Its a worse brand of baseball. Both teams make mistakes. Both team pitchers struggle. Both teams make careless errors. Its harder to hit in. If thats what you like watching great! I wouldnt like watching football in the pouring rain either as it effects the passing game. Same thing.

It was 40 degrees last night and windy. And I dont know who you keep trying to call out but I said Harvey looked like crap many times regardless of the weather. Nobody was making excuses for him here over the weather. It does suck that players coming back from serious injuries have to add another element to the mix but we have the best record in baseball. Who the hell needs to defend anything with excuses?
Ramos is better than whats here, but by how much?
Is he worth 1/$10mm if he was a free agent? Absolutely not.
Then throw in even a C level minor leaguer?
Heres the true question, and there is no right or wrong answer. Is Ramos better for the next three weeks worth the offset of not having an extra $10mm available in the budget come late July? Thats the true pros and cons that need to be weighed.
Dom with some good Abs
Alonso looking good
Tiberi still hitting, Brodey warming up
Fermin, for a guy who cant hit and is slow, got his 4th three bagger already lol
Most important on the night, Kay looked phenomenal. Wont stay here for long, but really good to see the success for the kid.
Why on earth would the Rays want Harvey? He's on an expiring deal and makes almost the same in salary. They would never do that.

Yeah I basically said the same thing.

Actually it was 55 degrees at game time last night with a little breeze. And you mentioned the weather excuse (and of course the right strikezone excuse) well before any Harvey complaining began. Either way, not worth getting into a huge back and forth over. He is what he is. And I cant wait until hes gone. Hopefully to a team we play so that we can tee off him also lol.

they shed 4 million in salary, and they have the chance to flip Harvey down the line for more if he turns it around. Starting Pitching is more valuable at Trade Deadline than catchers, unless there is another major injury to a contender at that position.
Yup, never his fault.

Gotcha. Didnt see that. If they want Harvey for Ramos they can have him. I just find that extremely unrealistic.
You DO realize who youre asking those questions to, right?
Shecky wouldn't trade Plawecki straight up for Posey.

Id consider Trout.
But only if the Angels ate the contract

Perfectly reasonable request. Maybe throw in Kevin Maitan as well.
