he hit .244 for the Mets in 2017, had Tommy John in 2018 after playing 4 games and missed the season. He was DFAed in 2019 after hitting .087 in 10 games as a 30 year old catcher. Hard to criticize the Mets on this one.
and apparently the game may be postponed

The braves know that travis hit like 3 (or 2) homers in a single game against the yankees when he was on the rays

Another player that treats the Yankees like his private biotches....
I just looked it up  
BH28 : 4/20/2021 5:47 pm : link
in 2019 he had 12 total hits in 15 games vs Yankees. 4 of them were HR, 9 RBI, 7 walks.

3 Homeruns, 6 RBI, 3 walks in 7 games at yankee stadium in 2019. He definitely likes playing at Yankee Stadium.
D’Arnaud hits like fucking Ted Williams against the Yanks

You can’t criticize the Mets for letting him go at the time. He was off-Injured and not hitting. He went to Tampa Bay where he finally stayed healthy and lived up to his potential. He was absolutely incredible last season for the Braves with a 144 wRc+ and a .919 OPS.

I didn't blame anybody or even insinuate it. I asked what they missed because he turned it around right after he left NYM. I suppose they ran out of patience...which is reasonable. It was truly a question

I wasn’t attacking you I was just stating that they basically ran out of patience which in hindsight was a mistake. With him it was always a question of health not talent.

Tauchman first on the list. That man has zippo left in his bat. If Wade isn't on this team, then he sure shouldn't be either.

Disagree. He just needs some ABs and Morton isn't easy to hit against.
I love Gardy, but he can’t bat 3rd for any reason

2019 was a long time ago. I haven't seen anything in a year that justifies any more patience.
People in the stands have lost their patience

Great job by Wilson to get out of that.

Lol thank heavens for a WP and BB to a guy who hasn't swung at anything all year. Not pitching to Stanton there seemed daft. He ain't hitting. I had little hope that any Yank would get a hit after Judge and unfortunately I was correct. And now Chappy walks a tomato can to get to Heredia. PHEW Yanks win

catch...to end it.

Chapman looks so much better this year. Strong and offspeed stuff is legit.

Danny Kanell : 4/20/2021 9:47 pm : link
That felt like one of those really important wins.
Strong game from Taillon plus bullpen  
mfsd : 4/20/2021 9:47 pm : link
we’ll take it
Taillon looks like  
section125 : 4/20/2021 9:53 pm : link
he has some stuff left. That 95 up in the zone is tough. He needs time for strengthening the arm and gaining confidence. Now they need to get Kluber going, same thing, after missing two seasons.

Bats still suck. Swinging wildly, no thought process it seems, at the plate or before it. DJLM, Judge and Gio is about it.
Finally, a win!  
NYerInMA : 4/20/2021 10:03 pm : link
Feels like forever.
better ABs by some in the 8th  
RasputinPrime : 4/20/2021 10:13 pm : link
Ford needs to start.
Taillon is a solid 4.
i'll add  
RasputinPrime : 4/20/2021 10:24 pm : link
that Chapman throwing 100-102 really makes me happy.
Nice to get a win,  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/20/2021 10:35 pm : link
and against a good team, too.
It's good to get a win  
PA Aggie : 4/21/2021 7:06 am : link
And I really can't complain about the pitching overall. But our hitting seems to be missing the fundamentals. Working the count, watching meatballs right over the plate, while swinging at crap really far out of the strike zone. Again, finally a win. Nothing helps morale like winning. We just need one or two more guys (DJ and Gio doing okay) to step up their hitting.
