That’s great. Didn’t expect that

Huge difference in the lineup
Marlins are 6-1  
KDavies : 8/7/2020 6:20 pm : link
Pretty impressive
Gsellman is also back tonight.  
ZGiants98 : 8/7/2020 6:35 pm : link
Would be nice to get Brach soon.
When's the last time the Mets  
ZGiants98 : 8/7/2020 6:48 pm : link
had a lineup this strong that also had SEVEN homegrown players in it? Im going to go with never Alex.
Looks like rain for an hour,  
jpkmets : 8/7/2020 7:19 pm : link
Some heavy. Not sure why they didn’t just wait till 830
We stink  
GF1080 : 8/7/2020 7:43 pm : link
And Cervelli with a 3 run HR.
Ugh, off to another uninspired start  
jpkmets : 8/7/2020 7:47 pm : link
Get well soon, Stroman and RISP please materialize.

Maybe it’s just a typical Mets season. 10-20 followed by 26-4 in the “second half.”
There ya go, Dom!  
jpkmets : 8/7/2020 7:57 pm : link
Big fly!
Good god Nimmo  
jpkmets : 8/7/2020 8:12 pm : link
What a route.
Another manager  
Ron Johnson : 8/7/2020 8:40 pm : link
And the Mets still don’t know how to play baseball.

All I want to see is Rojas scream at Nimmo telling him to pull his head out of his ass.

Nimmo’s hustle-to-first-on-a-walk thing is bullshit
Wacha should be a reliever  
CMicks3110 : 8/7/2020 8:45 pm : link
he was up to 97 in the first inning and looked dominant. Now down to 91-92.

Yeah, and no swings and misses now. Guys are fouling off pitches they were swing omg through in the first inning
Nice play by JD  
Vanzetti : 8/7/2020 9:12 pm : link
It would be great if he could play 3B. Hold the fort until Baty is ready

Why would he need to hold a position for anyone? He rakes. If Davis plays D well at 3B sign him to a 10 year extension. lol

Hit 95 at the end there. I dont think he's fully built up yet. A couple of half season s dealing with injuries and then this wacko season with like 2 weeks to get ready for ST 2.
Nimmo costs a run earlier on the bases  
Vanzetti : 8/7/2020 10:34 pm : link
Now Alonso

Little things killing this team
Team  
KDubbs : 8/7/2020 10:42 pm : link
Is allergic to hitting in a big spot. Interesting letting Nido hit 2x last week in big spots but pinch hitting for nimmo
Another game they could have won  
Vanzetti : 8/7/2020 10:49 pm : link
Team has talent. They just need to
Play better baseball.

Some bad luck with line drives hit right at fielders
Yup. Had our chances for sure.. Oh well  
ZGiants98 : 8/7/2020 10:57 pm : link
Really need Alonso to come out of it. We need our biggest hitter. He's showing some signs....
The season  
XBRONX : 8/8/2020 6:07 am : link
will be over by the time they come out of it.
Embarrassing to get shutdown  
Metnut : 8/8/2020 12:27 pm : link
by an A ball pitcher.
the big hit is eluding them but at some point they will get hot  
Eric on Li : 8/8/2020 12:36 pm : link
and go on a run. Will it be too late? Who knows. But if they can have a 2-3 week stretch like they did in late July/Aug last year they will definitely get in.

Last year even with a lot of awfulness they ended up the 6th best record in the NL and 8 teams are in the "playoffs" this year.

Only 6 teams in the NL right now have winning records, and last year there were a total of 8, so if they can just get above .500 they will probably get in.

It's been a bit of a rocky start for him, but I don't think he's anywhere near the empty headed knuckledragger that Callaway was. But yes this needs to be addressed. Can't even remember the last time the Mets were considered an above average defensive team. Damn were we spoiled in 1999.
