Diaz can turn it around this season, if for nothing else so that we can hear Citi Field rocking when this comes on. Also Gary saying "Blasterjaxx with Timmy Trumpet" can't not make you laugh.

I don’t know why he would have changed anything coming off the year he had in Seattle.

Quote:
Mariano Rivera had “Enter Sandman.” Trevor Hoffman had “Hells Bells.” Edwin Díaz? He jogs in to “Narco” by Blasterjaxx and Timmy Trumpet, and he won’t be changing it anytime soon -- not given how important he thinks it is to his success.

During his final two years with the Mariners, Díaz entered to “Narco,” an energetic, instrumental tune that features a bouncy trumpet line. But upon arriving in New York, Díaz changed his entrance music to “No Hay Limite,” a less upbeat song by Miky Woodz. Whether coincidentally or not, Díaz had his worst season as a professional -- seven blown saves, seven losses and a 5.59 ERA.

Last year, Díaz switched back to “Narco,” which he believes played a role in his renaissance -- a 1.75 ERA over 26 outings.

Notes: Díaz's music; prospects impressing - ( New Window )
Looks  
DanMetroMan : 4/15/2021 2:26 pm : link
like the piece coming out tomorrow will be pretty damning regarding the previous regime. I wonder if there is any fallout for current employees who were here during that time?

-Diaz has some concerning secondary numbers. His whiff% has tanked so far. Something to monitor.

-Harvey 4.2 innings 3 hits 2 runs 1 walk 3 k's, good for him
Gallen

looks very good for Arizona but Chisholm looks like quite the player for Miami. That team is headed in the right direction.

Maybe they can force the Wilpons to give up their remaining 5%. Wash the stink completely off the Mets
prior to yesterday Diaz looked real bad  
Eric on Li : 4/15/2021 2:34 pm : link
I think he hadn't gotten a single swing and miss on his FB in like 30-40 pitches.

yesterday he looked as good as he ever has here though and it's certainly early enough that everyone is still working themselves into form.

I hated that trade for the Marlins. Couldn't believe they gave up Gallen for what looked to me to be potentially the IF version of Brinson, but Chisolm does indeed look like a player. And the Marlins keep coming up with SP. Looks like it could be a good deal for both teams.

Their 2 most talented arms are hurt (Sixto/Cabrera) and yet they still have a ton of pitching. Rogers could be very, very good. Meyer could be a monster as well.

instead of bringing in Garcia, they bring in Dylan Floro. Bases loaded, no outs.

WTF is with these two managers? They can't use their closers two days in a row? Neither had pitch more than a day in a row.

Acuna the best player in baseball?

obviously a hot start slants perception, but some people were making the case for Acuna or Tatis even over Trout coming in to the season.

Is it crazy to say that?

is there a 4th player I'm missing? Betts?

Dunn throwing 94-95 consistently. Significant velocity gains over 2020 #ExMets
I don’t know what he was throwing last year  
bhill410 : 4/15/2021 5:59 pm : link
But surprising it was lower than 94-95. He faded after say the 4th but at BC he regularity sat 96+ through the first couple of innings. I am surprised he would lose velo going to the majors. I guess the radar guns were probably from a different angle at BC’s field.
Do we think they will play in flurries and 25 degree temps  
bhill410 : 4/15/2021 6:00 pm : link
I don’t ever remember a non playoff game for the Mets being that cold and it certainly doesn’t seem safe. The night start on sat us a double dose of dumb as well.

Dunn's average velocity in 2020 was 91.2 mph
Wow that’s a drop  
bhill410 : 4/15/2021 6:13 pm : link
I wonder if they had him abandon the 4 seamer and focus on 2 seamer. Absent injury that’s just bizzare.

DanMetroMan : 4/15/2021 6:16 pm : link
before the season

Servais believes cleaning up mechanical inefficiencies may fix the issues.

“Our pitching coaches have talked about with him,” he said. “You don’t want to make big changes during the season. Those are things you focus on in the offseason, to see if we can get a little bit more to come out.”

But a handful of professional scouts noted that Dunn looks heavier, less flexible and less explosive than his days at Boston College and in the Mets system.

“I thought he was starting to get heavy in 2019,” said one scout.

Another scout pointed out that Dunn had gained a fair amount of weight in the midsection and rear end going into the 2019 season, making him more rotational in his mechanics, which makes staying on line to the plate difficult. He also thought Dunn looked slower-twitch in his movement and mechanics while his arm speed on his pitches had disappeared.

“Even in his early Mets videos, he was way more athletic,” the scout said. “Now there’s just no life to anything that’s coming out.”

And while the dip in velocity is important, Servais mentioned that the growth of a viable third pitch, specifically a changeup, to work off the fastball — at whatever speed — and the slider, Dunn’s best pitch, must become prevalent.
Point two is the winner

Would love to hear Capone chime in, but from what I understand Ms ripped into him for taking things for granted and maybe the switch flipped? I’m paraphrasing, so would love to hear from Capone.

He did, and he may end up in the BP but the 8 walk start (4.2 innings, he only allowed 1 hit
