NFT: Mets Chat: Dom or Alonso?

DanMetroMan : 3/11/2019 9:15 am
Fun battle going on

-Drew Smith back to NY for an MRI on his elbow (not good)

-Oswalt has touched 94-95, I like him as an "extra" guy but I remain concerned with the SP depth. Brodie has done a strong job adding to the positional depth (OF not great) but the SP is insanely thin.

-Don't like the idea being pushed of Rosario 8th. CF should hit 8th at least until Lowrie returns.

-This lineup should be very solid (especially once Lowrie returns) really think they need to add additional SP depth. They will need roughly 10 to get through the season and those arms barring a rapid ascent from guys like Kay or Peterson simply don't exist.

-Please sign Josh Fields. Thanks.

to open in AA, as expected and the correct move.
Tony Sipp to the Nats, 1 yr $1.25M

While on paper I would have liked him for the Mets, any thoughts on why a guy who had such a good year had to wait this long for this little? Considering so many teams need BP help every year. I guess it's been a weird offseason in general
Cano 2 run dinger  
ChaChing : 3/13/2019 2:17 pm : link
after a real slick out on a chopper the half inning prior. Expected

Ramos with an opposite field single

Pete gets an opposite field 2-run HR robbed, wind knocked it down tho

Strong wind I. From right, robbed Cano of a second earlier, but also saved Thor
Damn...

Wheeler absolutely dominant today AGAIN... Crickets?
This is the least interest in a Mets Spring  
Shecky : 3/14/2019 9:53 pm : link
For as far as I can remember around here and at the end of the day, I think that’s a good thing.

Wheeler sat 95, worked through some things. A much more mature Wheelertoday, as much as that hurts me to say.
McNeil had many insisting he was a fluke last year,but damn is he a professional hitter.
Cano is so smooth, slick. What a huge addition on and off the field.
Alonso absolutely annihilates theball. Every. Single AB.
Davis hit one today that traveled about 50’ further than it looked off the bat prototypical rising golf ball today.
Worried Hech May somehow make this roster. No way he makes it till the All star break. Outstanding in the field, but his swing makes Ordonez look like he was a slugger.
Familia looks thicker. Was 93/94 again today.
Miss having Gimenez at ML camp. This is going to be the oddest comp you will ever hear on him. It makes no sense but every time I see him, it’s the first name that comes to mind. And I can’t explain it lol. Tino Martinez...
Lots of excitement coming from those backfields lately.
Plus it was radio today, not broadcast

Aside from wheels, McNeil 3-4, Alonso 2-4

Wilson gave up a triple & double in succession, but settled in and only gave up that 1 run bot 7th. All other pitchers went for 0

Next half inning McNeil gets a single, Lagares bunts him over, JD Davis with a ground rule double scoring McNeil. Nice way to generate a run late game. The rest of the inning fills the bases so the good ABs continue, but Nido can't produce anything more
I will say

Of everyone I’ve seen this spring, aside from the studs. The one guy I’ve seen who would be the perfect fit for the amets is Harrison Bader. Far from a star, you can’t have 25 stars. But this kid would flat out be the PERFECT fit on this team!!!
Tempted to post someone is signing

Matz strrrrugling  
ChaChing : 3/15/2019 1:46 pm : link
4 HRs, 7 hits in 2 innings. 8-0. There's a little help from the wind but man
Gotta be Gio?  
ZGiants98 : 3/15/2019 2:18 pm : link
Damn you Shecky.
Jenry Mejia  
Metnut : 3/15/2019 2:21 pm : link
5ip, 6k, 2r vs the yankees today. just retired voit, andujar and sanchez in order.
Why did we cut Mejia again?  
bhill410 : 3/15/2019 3:58 pm : link
Did he piss ownership off that much that we just gave up on him?

Shecky how has Matz otherwise looked this year?
Iirc 3 positive PEDs tests as a Met  
ChaChing : 3/15/2019 4:35 pm : link
As a team you really can't continue with that can you?
I mean why not?  
bhill410 : 3/15/2019 4:47 pm : link
Obviously don’t build your team around him but it’s an asset that you control. Why not take advantage of it warts and all.

Would have required them to release someone else since he had to be added to the 40 man roster.
Maybe there's more to it, I'm no expert  
ChaChing : 3/15/2019 4:59 pm : link
I have no idea about control and all that especially in baseball

But he's playing after coming back from what was a lifetime ban. I assume next time it won't be a 'fake' one. So ala Will Hill for example, how many chances should he get after burning the team?

Not arguing with you just opining
