NFT: Mets GDT - Matz vs Strasburg

allstarjim : 5/23/2019 10:49 am
Worst lineup in recent memory. Todd Frazier in the three-hole, lol. Well, honestly not much worse than Cano. Hopefully, we finish up the 4-game sweep!



Both McNeil and Cano to IL. So Mets-like to finally have Cano out of the lineup for an extended stretch and McNeil goes on IL as well so he can't replace him at 2B. The Cespedes stuff, the Lowrie re-injuries and setbacks...what is it with this team?

The game plan for Strasburg vs this lineup  
debo_GIANTS : 5/23/2019 11:05 am : link
has to be take a lot of pitches and hope to get into the Nats BP by the 7th inning again
Frazier's hitting .400 or so over the last two weeks or so

BP being an abbreviation for Bullpen and Batting Practice is especially applicable in the case of the 2019 Nationals.
All NY all DL team  
Metnut : 5/23/2019 11:30 am : link
Off the top of my head, so feel free to correct me, but:


OF Stanton
OF Conforto
OF Judge
DH Cespedes
3B Adjubar
2B McNeil
SS Didi
1B Lowrie
C (reserved)



SP Sevorino
SP Paxton
SP Sabathia
Mop-up man: Cano

Not a bad squad.
Lowrie  
TyreeHelmet : 5/23/2019 11:50 am : link
Whats going on with him?

The entire roster construction this offseason didn't make much sense. Painfully thin in some areas, with redundancy in others. It's almost as if they hire a GM who had zero experience building a team....

Gameplan is for Matz to mow these guys down and live up to the potential he has teased us with.

Think they built this team with anticipation of the DH coming to the NL. Didn't happen.... yet

Good, by the time the NL does implement the DH, Lowrie might actually be healthy enough to play.
McNeil going on the IL means we will have to see more of Frazier

Get healthy Jeff! O/U .150 batting average for Frazier once McNeil comes off the IL?

Watching Vlad Jr these past few weeks, makes you really  
figgy2989 : 5/23/2019 12:43 pm : link
wish the Mets had a prospect like that. Who knows what Klenic is going to be, but the impact Vlad Jr has had in Toronto is something else.

I know we can say Alonso might set all kinds of Mets HR records, but I want that 20 year old who lights up the minors and is in the show before he can legally drink a beer.
I'll tell you  
allstarjim : 5/23/2019 1:37 pm : link
Lagares is having some good ABs lately and is coming up big in clutch spots. Nice to see.
Matz has been bad today  
Metnut : 5/23/2019 1:38 pm : link
but somehow we have a lead.

Agreed on Lagares. He's playing like a legit 4th OF on a contending team.

Would love to have a hyped stud like that. Always so much fun as a fan to follow. Closest we've had was on the pitching end with Harvey and Thor. Can't remember a hitter we've ever had with that type of hype/upside. Reyes and Wright were pretty big prospects but not that level.

How has Matz been bad? We give deGrom a ton of credit for pitching out of trouble all the time and not Matz today? To me, he's been VERY good. Gotten double plays when he needed them, and big strikeouts when he needed them. Now the only run scored was on an error.

I agree. I've been pretty critical of Matz for melting down when the going got tough, but he's shown real grit today.
Bring in Diaz!!

If we gave up so much to get him, need him to close the door down here and get us a win!

Kid has some upside even if he's stunk for a little while. Might as well give him some run here while everyone is hurt.

So Mickey would rather pitch Gsellman

a 3rd time in 4 days than ask Diaz to get 4 outs? If they don't come back, this will be a terrible missed opportunity.

Metnut, unsure if you saw the NY post article today, but the day Cano went on the IL, Kelenic hit his 8th HR in A ball.

I believe it would be 3rd time in 4 days for Diaz as well. Gsellman threw all of 7 pitches yesterday.

Kid is a stud. We need to use Diaz in situations like today to get max value out of him. He was off yesterday. Asking an extra out isn't too much. Especially 2nd and 3rd and 2 out in a 1 run game! Doesn't get any bigger than that!
Again, only seeing it via the play by play  
figgy2989 : 5/23/2019 2:48 pm : link
Is there a reason that Dom is not being pinch run for?
Once McNeil is back  
figgy2989 : 5/23/2019 2:49 pm : link
Frazier needs to be DFA'd.
Now he's warming up Diaz?!?!  
Metnut : 5/23/2019 2:49 pm : link
If he was available he needs to be out there with 2 outs and 2nd and 3rd.

Our manager is a buffoon.

Because they may want to keep Dom in for defense at 1B and pitcher would slot into Alonso's spot and they are down to Guillorme and Nido on the bench so unless you PR with a pitcher you are taking away a potential PH in extra innings.
Got it and that makes sense

Amazing that it's been a bunch of slumping if not fringe guys the last few. Fun to watch especially after losing the lead the way they did
