Not a bad move IMO. He's played in just about every game this year until recently and with the day off tomorrow, getting a couple days in a row will pay off long term.

Plus with Sevie going I'm thinking they won't need a lot of O to get a win tonight.

A little wild in the first with 2 walks, but looks almost unhittable early

Yeah those walks might cost him an inning tonight but his stuff looks nasty as usual.

If Severino ends up on the shelf with an oblique injury thanks to these silly at-bats

Has a very nice violent swing. Sure it's raw but impressive compared to the Tanaka's of the world

Andujar doesn't like the baseball. I can't remember a player with such a violent but controlled swing.

Feels like a quick game ahead, bottom 3 already

but how low is Gary's gonna go?

Call up Cheech or McNeil to replace the injured Cabrera.

Flores is coming back soon though

He's pitching well and is a competitor but we all know how this is going to end.

Mets offense died a month ago

Hasn't thrown more than 60 pitches this season.

its not funny anymore.....please stop the madness and just cut the guy....please I am begging you!!!!

Not if Cab is out

before hitting the HR

had to get 4 strikes there, he swung at the prior pitch. Fuck

.

.

Two worthless hitters

sure looked like he struck out on the check swing.

I mean he put the same swing on a ball his last AB and smoked a single to right

Third time around the order coming here. Time to smack this fucker around.

Mets take the early lead, Yanks jack a few late and win

it doesn't matter who else is or is not on the roster. You are not a major league player. They could grab someone from AAA or AA who is better.

that pitch was 4-5 inches inside. Stanton threw his bat in frustration and was lucky not to get ejected

but what a lifeless, dickless performance thus far. They're playing like they assumed the game would be rained out.

talk about whats going on pitch by pitch? Instead we get the 3 of them trying to be the Charles Kuralt of baseball traveling the country and going into human interest dialogues every fucking pitch.

Totally agree. That's why the sound is off at my house.

Gary Ground Out.

but tonight its insufferable. I mean they key moment of the game so far- Frazier swinging for strike 3 they can't stop blowing useless hot air to even mention it or god forbid show a replay. Heck I don't think they were even watching.

And just twist the knife and spike the football this weekend

"is seeing the ball big"

after a real luck slow roller thru the shift earlier

.

Are happening

I guess I'll give him he's used to the neighborhood nonsense (what a stupid rule - "close enough?" wtf). But wow

Has just got to go.

I loved the guy growing up but this is the final straw. Bye.

It's crystal clear he's not on the bag.

Now it's going to be called safe

.

disappear?! Not only did he not get the easy out at second but the slide had nothing to do with his pathetic throw to first!

safe at 2nd.

he wasn't really close at all (tho it was a stupid rule from the beginning. Who the hell writes that shit in?)

And bring up Jeff McNeil

I mean, our SP & now Gsellman have pitched well

So we're F'd. LGM.

100%.

I think Callaway has to give Gsellman a shot in the 9th. They need to stop the bleeding and he's pitching great right now.

if the Yankees tied or took the lead that inning, after that Reyes gaffe.

Almost.

What a nice little lethal combo to watch.

on a pitch outside the zone

Bad.

to get it right in that AB

but can't win if you don't score a single run.

Their record is great but they can play even better. The lineup has not come close to clicking on all cylinders yet. Sanchez has been awful, Stanton has not had a hot streak yet, Bird hasn't been healthy, Didi has been bad.

Right? I know it hurts the beleaguered bullpen but he's clearly one of the best 5 starting pitchers. ERA now below 2.

I'd rather see Hansel Robles try to get 3 outs than Lugo back in the pen.

Wait, what am I saying?

Mets dont lose!

Onto the next one.

the Yanks didn't deserve a win here. Not scoring a run against Lugo, Gsellman and Swarzak (none of whom are any good) means they deserve to lose

Hit a frickin bullet.

Yup. Plus got some other bad calls during those ab's as well.

Oh well, they were due for a clunker but never expected to get shutout tonight.

Agreed.

but the Yanks shouldn't have even bothered to board the bus tonight with that effort. Bird getting doubled off by 3 steps as the meaningless run on a ball hit to the other side of the diamond? Are you fucking kidding me?

1.77 ERA over 45.2 IP.
2.95 ERA over 39.2 IP.

Yeah, Lugo and Gsellman are terrible.

Disagree about the pitching. Swarzak maybe isn't that good but the other two sure as hell are. Both would make the Yanks staff IMO.

I thought for sure we'd get to Swarzack.. guys a stiff

Lugo and Gsellman have swag

This has to be viewed as a positive. Best record in baseball and they’re still not playing up to their capabilities. Have to figure Gary won’t hit like this all season and a hot streak will eventually come for Stanton

This. Not gonna win 162. Would have liked the sweep but credit the Mets pitching.

Still a good series win. Just keep doing that, plz.

Judge in the lineup tonight) I admire them. He works hard to give guys rest, and often does it the night after they've done something special. It's counter-intuitive but it seems to be working for this team.

Tough loss, but Lugo and the ump really shut the Yanks down tonight.

come time for our next game, which is Tuesday, Judge should be very well-rested. Didn't play tonight and the Yankees have an off-day tomorrow. He should be completely recharged and ready to go on Tuesday, which is a positive to him sitting tonight.

so we'll miss him this series. Can only help.

Mets released Gonzalez and dfa’d lobaton

Dom smith and ty kelly coming up.

And Jose Reyes survives another fucking day. Jesus Christ.

I wouldn't be surprised if Fred stepped in and doesn't want him released and wants him to go out retiring or on good terms. He's an odd man like that. He won't step in when the team is absolute shit, but will step in when they want to get rid of people he likes. Wasn't there a story the reason they didn't fire Collins earlier than they did was because he liked talking to him or something? Truly brilliant owner.

More likely, they don’t have anyone on the 40 many roster to replace Reyes. 40 man is jammed with all 5he relievers Sandy obtained at the deadline last year.

and he did really well against the best or one of the best hitting teams in baseball.

And let him be the assistant first base coach or ball boy

For Reyes like the Yanks did with Jeter and sell more tix

doesn't look like it's going to play in the post-season, I like Reyes retiring as a Met. He certainly isn't now, but he may have been our best shortstop ever.

Is gonna be the 2b for awhile because ACab will prob have leg amputation

They can have a Jose Reyes Appreciation Day and parade him around the ballpark next year. He is hurting the team, and in every sport I ever played, it was always supposed to be about what is best for the team.

Clunker or not, Stanton has been getting screwed by the umps lately, consistently. Hard to watch and impossible to explain.
