Looks like Conforto has been symptom free for three days. Good news. hopefully, back soon. Taking a Font/Corbin win only goes so far if our REAL SP doesn't keep the pedal to the metal. Time for our SP to all pitch well a turn or two through the rotation. That would be nice. LGM!
And they are all hitting in a row. Great lineup management.
Unreal
He's probably ben playing through it hurt the whole time. The neck was the original issue weeks ago.
Ugh
Then on a day w/ Wheeler pitching great, Frazier on an uptick at the plate...another young or struggling opponent's SP pitches great and NYM is behind basically all game. Just gotta hope they can get to the BP
In the mean time, 2 HRs while Wheeler hadn't given 1 up at Citi for ages, against a 0/37 vs NYM batter no less
If only he played more
good stuff 4-3 NYM
And fuck you Mickey for yanking this guy around
We can argue all day about the merits of Brodie’s moves. But the one unquestionably great acquisition is JD and Mickey doesn’t play him. Unreal

playing over this guy?? It's insane!

Yup. Luis Santana can kick rocks...

Happy to see them pull these two games out. You can see the effort and passion out there. I wonder the fuck that was over the weekend, but happy it’s here now and hope it continues.
Philly has caught fire, so the time for fucking around is over.

If Nimmo isn’t healthy, Frazier might be better than having Gomez in lineup.
2.) McNeil LF
3.) Alonso 1B
4.) Conforto RF
5.) Davis 3B
6.) Cano 2B
7.) Ramos C
8.) Rosario SS
For the rest of the year. Lowrie can be our super sub giving guys rest. Obviously Nimmo and Conforto need to get over their temporary injury stuff.
Convince Mesoraco to come back and play in the majors also.
Feel like the SP is coming around although its still not really consistent. The bats worry me though. Too many players either not performing or hurt. (Cano, Ramos, Conforto, Nimmo, Lowrie.) Alonso and McNeil can't do everything. Even McNeil is cold at the moment.
Fantastic. I hate that team

Flip flop Rosario and Nimmo
And make Cano a sub. Put Smith in left
Adjusted after the rain out and the inexplicable sweep in Miami, I think 9-6 is really the number you'd like to come away with. I wouldn't complain about 10-5 but that means winning out the rest of the week/weekend.
One game at a time. We need 2018 Jake tonight.
2) Been waiting for 2 months now for Cano to break out. It's getting VERY close to panic time. This offense needs him and if this is just what we get from him going forward, the trade looks like an utter disaster.
3) It's been said before, but it's scary to think about where this team would be without Alonso and Davis.
4) Just win one of the next two games and I am very happy about how this team bounced back from last weekend.
Flip flop Rosario and Nimmo
Despite his cold bat this season, Nimmo still has a substantially higher OBP than Rosario this season, which is the goal of a lead off man. And Rosario has been more productive when he bats 7th.
2. He's increased all his batted ball metrics in a positive way. He is hitting more line drives, increased his hard contact for the 3rd year in a row, reduced his infield fly balls, and pulled the ball less/gone the other way more.
3. His numbers hitting #2 are solid. Obviously a small sample size but he's hitting .270 and he's got 3 walks in 37 AB's.
4. His speed and the fact that he's a righty should play well up there surrounded by lefties.
Last night his speed won the game, earlier in the season he got a big 9th inning walk, he's on pace for like 90 RBI's so he's clearly getting hits when it matters - all positive signs of a player developing. Time to give him a chance in a more prominent role IMO.
He needs to resolve his issues in the field though. He still reminds me very much of Didi Gregorius as a young player. All the athletic ability in the world but took a while to put things together. When he first got to the Yankees he made a bunch of mistakes in the field and fans crushed him but patience paid off.

Breaking: #Mets have announced the club has traded outfielder Keon Broxton to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for $500,000 international bonus pool money.
2:33 PM - 22 May 2019
Very good move. I should be surprised that a rebuilding team just traded away international bonus money but this is the Orioles we are talking about. That organization is the worst run in the entire league. They were the last ones to embrace analytics.
Also yes, moving on from a bad deal is admirable, but taking just 6 weeks to learn how wrong you were isn't an admirable characteristic.
