NFT: Braves at Mets Game 3

Good game in the 6th.... 2-2. Geez....

Is very easy on the eyes.

The beat reporter who just went away for two weeks on paternity leave may get Wally Pipp’d

PS. Kevin Burkhardt’s career arc is still stunning

Ward + Taylor Rooks = 100 out of 10 scale

Are a stupid team, first Rosario makes the third out at third base, then the idiot 3rd base coach sends Davis home on a short single to right and he is a dead duck, really just pathetic.

Shallow liner to LF and he runs us out of an inning. Has to be the worst 3b coach in baseball.

Then you have Rosario run us out of 2 out, runner in scoring position opportunity.

This is how you wind up with only 2 runs on 8 hits and now we are primed to lose this game in the bullpen.

...

Tons of talent...ten cent head.

Holy shit...

5-2 Matz hits the wall.

We should have 3-4 runs ourselves at least.

As I said last thread, thank you Gelbs for taking leave (and congrats on the new kiddo)

Just keep bringing this trash up to cost games

Yes!! Too bad Rooks left for national job.

Looks like a different pitcher in relief.

His fastball hit 97 mph and was regularly at 95-96 mph. He blew Freddie away on a fastball when he was sitting dead red.

This is a guy who used to throw 90-92.

Wilpons are not going to spend on relief pitchers like other top franchises. They will always try to get by with lesser guys on short-term deals. You might hit on one of those every once in a while but mostly you do not.

So, Mets need to have more guys like Lugo and Gsellman who come up through the organization. I have not read any stats but it seems to me that those type of guys are almost always converted starters. At least it has been that way for the Mets. Can anyone think of a minor league reliever who had sustained success with the parent club?


I'm hoping Flexen can be one of those guys and I could also see Dave Patterson being a guy who flourishes in middle relief.

Need a mix of both. The Yankees are proof having a great bullpen is easy and pretty directly correlating with spending money. They had Betances and Miller, they added Chapman traded him and added him again. They added Robertson. They added Kahnle. This past offseason they added Britton + Ottavino. Every year they add multiple high end arms. That's what allows them to develop the young guys like Jonathan Holder slowly in low pressure environments.

They, along w the other SUCCESSFUL large market teams do this annually. The Mets will always be a half ass Yugo joke as long as the Wilponzies are owning the team and still barely afloat from bankruptcy.

In 13 games he now has a 0.66 ERA and 3.10 FIP.

Blevins on the other hand has been pretty awful.

Mets should be in on Cody Allen.

I think it will be the reverse in the second half. Swarzak was awful in Seattle and will go off track again.

Blevins tends to go by halves. Awful one half and lights out another.

double play after double play. Going to be even more fun for the next 4 years. BVW should be fired for this alone.

But Lockett looks like a real major league pitcher.

JD Davis was sent down?

b4 the break

back to the pumpkin

the Font

traded for this guy

looks like a potential all-star vs the Mets lineup

And another Mets pitcher, not so much
