NFT: Mets at Braves Game 3

ZGiants98 : 4/13/2019 4:36 pm
Mets Lineup

Jeff McNeil 2B
Pete Alonso 1B
Michael Conforto RF
J.D. Davis 3B
Travis dArnaud C
Keon Broxton - LF
Amed Rosario - SS
Juan Lagares CF
Jason Vargas - LHP

Wow. Definitely one of the best chances the Braves are going to have at a win against us, maybe ever. lol. A Vargas start and Nimmo, Cano, and Ramos all out tonight. Broxton, Lagares, TDA, and JD Davis all in the same lineup. Oh well. I feel like tonight is house money anyway with deGrom going tomorrow. LGM!!

What happened to Gsellman?  
giantsFC : 4/13/2019 10:20 pm : link
Maybe its time to hope he can start again. Man the dude was lights out as a starter a few years ago.

Hes got the stuff but hes got a long way to go. Snitker will probably keep him in the pen though and continue to ride the struggling vet instead.

Well, his next start is an off day so they probably skip him. I think it was his last start. That was really bad and BVW wont mess around. He'll make a switch.



Ken Tosenthal said hes out of rotation
The Mets really should consider making Gsellman  
ZGiants98 : 4/13/2019 10:47 pm : link
the 5th starter. His stuff has looked great this year and Ive always felt that sinker that causes ground balls would play up better at the backend of the rotation than in the pen.

Keeps all 4 backend relievers in play so you're really not hurting anything. Trade for another middle reliever and you're fine in the pen. Worth a shot.
Skip Vargas's next start  
ZGiants98 : 4/13/2019 11:05 pm : link
That gives you 10 days to make a switch. Id settle for a small switch or a big switch. Either would help.


Mets are still in first and in a pretty good position to take 3 of 4 in this series with deGrom going tomorrow.

Im actually still pretty impressed at the amount of runs we were able to score and tack on this one in spite of the mess Vargas/Oswalt created. Get em tomorrow.
Good.

How would that tax the pen? It might weaken it but it certainly woundnt tax it.
Kimbrel  
CMicks3110 : 4/14/2019 8:16 am : link
Contract demands have dropped according to Rosenthalif we can grab him and then move Lugo to rotation, that would be ideal scenario. I think Lugo would be a better starter than Keuchel anyway:

Newcomb was just sent down to AAA after last nights dismal performance. Toussaint has taken his spot in the rotation.

Lugo was moved to the pen for a reason. He's not a starter. Better than Vargas? Maybe. Better than Keuchel? Unlikely.

if the mets were going to sign only one of Keuchel or Kimbrel I think Keuchel makes more sense.

Likely, they sign neither.

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that Dallas Keuchel is "open to a good one-year deal."

Oswalt demoted
Now the issue with signing Keuchel to a 1 year deal  
Jay on the Island : 4/14/2019 3:45 pm : link
is not the money but the forfeiture of a 1st round pick for less than one year of service.
if we issued a QO for Keuchel and Wheeler  
CMicks3110 : 4/14/2019 4:03 pm : link
which we would likely to do. We'd probably get those picks back next year.

Essentially Mets don't view any depth pieces as an upgrade.

And it's still status quo with Keuchel, per a source. Sides not close.

I have both on my Keeper League team and my NA spot is accounted for :(

I don't mind if the Braves win when those two start as long as they lose every other day.

Can we all stop crying about the prospects we have up for Davis? He has been better than expected.

I had no problem giving him a chance based on his second half last year but I also have no problem moving on. Two games in he cant locate and looks like a mess. This is a competitive year IMO so move on. My bigger point was always that on this staff, a 5th starter isnt a huge concern and we should be able to tweak and acquire somebody else pretty cheap regardless imo.
If Davis is hitting righties too  
ZGiants98 : 4/14/2019 8:15 pm : link
He really needs to be playing every day bad DRS or not. See what you have until Lowrie, Cespedes, ect make things complicated. Nimmo in CF is fine.

Such a joke. We gave up nothing. Davis is just barely passed being a legit prospect himself.
deGrom deserves his own thread but I guess well keep it here  
ZGiants98 : 4/14/2019 8:18 pm : link
Fuck Markakis. I swear hes one of the most annoying hitters in baseball.
I liked Luis Santana  
CMicks3110 : 4/14/2019 8:19 pm : link
but he was years away and we already have a ton of 2B options for years to come, so it was a good trade.

The team that signs Keuchel cannot give a qualifying offer, so theres no compensation next offseason.

What is he 5 7? Please. Hes far away. I would have been more annoyed if we gave up Newton but we are talking about acquiring a guy with huge power potential ready now.

just missed that
Dear gawd ESPN broadcast is horrible

Its like they dont even cover the play by play and game action. Too bad mlb tv was blacked out here. Dont even know why. Prob bc espn assholes.
Stuck here listening to rambling crap w hank Aaron.
Wow disappointing deGrom performance  
Rflairr : 4/14/2019 8:47 pm : link
Especially after they had to burn the pen yesterday. Going to have to do it again

homerun. DeGrom has to be tipping, he's made some damn good pitches.
take him out  
CMicks3110 : 4/14/2019 9:31 pm : link
don't blow out his arm, let us come back against this pen
Degrom's stuff is fine  
Vanzetti : 4/14/2019 9:36 pm : link
It's his command that is the problem.

Also, not being helped out by his fielders.
DeGrom...not his usual but he did the job on the scoreboard
