Lets get a split. Nice to see Conforto FINALLY doing better.
Why is Jose Reyes  
allstarjim : 6/17/2018 4:08 pm : link
Starting? Better question is why he's still on the team.
Hes the backup SS

Can Guillorme play short?
Lol, are we going to do this again with Conforto?  
PhiPsi125 : 6/17/2018 6:04 pm : link
How exactly is he doing better?
What is this we are seeing?  
PhiPsi125 : 6/17/2018 7:19 pm : link
It’s almost like good baseball lol.

I like Nimmo.

even in losses it's hard for me not to like Nimmo. Hope the Mets hold on.
My son said Nimmo was going to hit one out

He has to watch Mets games with me more often
What a dope

They aren't playing good enough for this garbage
Take him out of the fucking game Callaway

I don't give a shit if you have to play first base. Zero accountability.

I get it and I agree...but come on, that was an out.
Two in a row!

.
That's just the 2nd  
pjcas18 : 6/17/2018 8:11 pm : link
Mets go ahead HR with 2 outs in the 9th or later while trailing since 2009.

The other one was Duda in 2014.

Nice win.. SP continues to be solid

Offense is starting to show a little life finally. If only we could get Thor and Cespedes back.
Nimmo

deserves to be an All star

Not sure if mentioned here but stats from the announcers re: Mets SP & DeGrom prior to the 2 Ws:

1. DeGrom's last 8 games, 8 NYM runs
2. DeGrom's last 10 starts 0.87 ERA. NYM 2-8
3. Mets SP #1 in last 23 games @ 2.67 ERA. NYM 6-17

You figure just Cespedes would be a huge factor in Ws with that kind of pitching, even aside from the ineptitude of Reyes, Bautista, AGon, Bruce etc
Apologies if this has been posted....

I found a long read regarding the Wilpons and the Mets - I was going to start a thread but wasn't sure if there was a thread (I searched the URL). Anyway, this person just posted a collection of articles throughout the Wilpon's ownership. If there is a thread, I would love to read your opinions on it.

aren't exactly playing great ball. The Braves have a nice record and lineup, but I think they are due for major regression with their rotation and bullpen. Would be nice to go on an 8-2 type of run and breathe a little life back into this season.

Coors Field games are usually wacky, but these aren't the Rockies that we're used to. Underrated pitching and back-end bullpen and mostly weak lineup in Denver this year.
the AAA mess moving from Norfolk to Vegas is the perfect symbol

of their incompetence. Not only is it a practical nightmare - just having your entire pool of reinforcements across the country - but developmentally I have to think it's an even worse problem. And why did it happen? Because Jeff Wilpon is a jackass - as has been reported by everyone from Nelson Doubleday to the peanut vendors. For all of the shameless stuff we've seen publicly, imagine how many other messes he's created over the last 20 years that we don't know about.
Once Fred passes

the Mets will be a complete shitshow.

Unless Jeff sells.
Did I see correctly?  
JayBinQueens : 6/18/2018 8:49 pm : link
They scored a run for DeGrom?
