NFT: Mets news

Need someone who will motivate and light a fire under this team. Too much take to be going thru the motions.

Do need to get rid of Rojas. This is a really sloppy team. Davis needs to go too.

Chilly Davis will get the axle first. I'm watching the Mets on my tablet and the draft.

Cant even get a run in from second on a base hit. Like, the most basic shit every team does.

Can’t wait to see the Mets string together a couple of good wins in about a MONTH and have the usual suspect pop back in to say “I told you they’d get it going! It was just to cold outside. Brrrrrr.”

It's a 2-1 game in the 6th but the OP just had to post how we are being shut out. Can't we at least wait until they actually lose?

And ruin all the fun? This team suuuuuucks.

Hope Chili Davis enjoyed his year off. Hope he goes back there soon. He’s turned one of the best offenses in baseball to absolute shite.

Francisco Lindor, ummmmmm.....

I could go "ofer" the season and only charge 200 million.

They all seem pretty relaxed though, which is a good thing, I suppose.

On a more serious note, they took out Stromman after 65 pitches and zero earned runs?

during that adorable scuffle. He probably would have swung and missed there too.

The Phillies are trash and have a lot to say this game...it would be nice to shut them up, but it’s the Mets lol.

So stupid to sign a 114 OPs+ (last two years) when you bought yourself a year to decide.

And you basically send a message to Conforto and Thor that they are dogmeat

Sandy really needs to retire

Rojas has done a stellar job with this club.

Absolutely pathetic

Lindor had his chance to turn it all around with one swing...and of course he pressed and didn't

Something needs to happen to shake something up.


stupid to blame Sandy...he's not the one not hitting.

The Covid delay to start season was disastrous and apparently they didn't do a good job managing it.

What a disaster this is turning into

had a muscle strain.

1 for 14 with RISP.

April wins mean just as much as September wins, the bats being cold is a disaster - wasting all this good pitching.

Bad comp... Beltran 2015 more relevant comp...and he never really recovered in eyes of casual fan even though he ended up being best CFer in team history...

Hopefully Lindor can turn it around and do what he came to do .. but it's not all on him. They would be fine if everyone else was hitting. I don't know if I've ever seen a team of proven hitters ALL get off to such a terrible start. Makes no sense.

are a bunch of pussies. that fat fuck disrespected them and they just took it. should've been a brawl but they dont give any fucke

Absolutely gutless display by everyone. Yeah, great job by Lindor and Rojas calming everything down. Get them with the bats, guys! Great fucking strategy.

Can't hit at all, the other team literally challenges them and they do nothing. And then go out weakly in the 9th.

This whole "wait until they play a lot of games in a row" nonsense is no longer relevant. They've played an entire month and half the lineup is on pace for their worst career seasons.

Reminds me of when Wright used to let Utley and the Phils do whatever they wanted with no repercussions...including trying to unsuccessfully break Ruben Tejada's leg (Utley would of course later succeed in his 2nd attempt as a member of the Dodgers)

Time and a place for class and calm...against Philly ain't it...

Where the @SNYtv
Mets top prospects are starting the MiLB season:

1. Álvarez - St. Lucie
2. Allan - Brooklyn
3. Mauricio - Brooklyn
4. Crow-Armstrong - St. Lucie
5. Baty - Brooklyn
6. Ginn - Rehab
7. Vientos - Binghamton
8. Lee - Syracuse
9. Dominguez - GCL
10. Ramirez - GCL

the other day (not a Mets announcer, another game)...
say that DeGrom in his last 81 starts, has a 1.99 ERA,
and only 27 wins in those starts.
As a non-Mets fan, all I can say is WOW!

I want Wally Backman. I’ve always wanted Wally Backman.
Sandy can take a hike.

Backman is a manager, Sandy is a GM.

And while Backman will always have a fond place in Mets lore, he seems like he's crazier than a shithouse rat.

Wonder when this offense is going to wake up like the rest of the league already has?

On catchers blocking the plate? Mets didn’t challenge and announcers didn’t say anything so I’ve become a casual fan last few years I’m sure I missed it.

Terrible decision to send him regardless.

they need to have possession of the ball in order to block the plate. It looks like the catcher just had his foot on the plate while waiting for the ball which is okay.

The Mets continued inability to get runners in from second on a hit is astounding.

I don’t know what Chili Davis is doing to help this club but it’s having the opposite affect on nearly the entire lineup.

I’m guessing that not too many people are interested either given the lack of interest in any thread Mets-related LOL

Totally expect the Mets to lose this game.

So utterly predictable.

Conforto definitely heating up.
McNeil with a big hit.
Alonso with the clutch hit.
Villar/Pillar some energetic plays to get things going.

Lindor hasn't broken through yet but the defense is still great.

Was fun to watch live. Hopefully it leads to the team heating up.

Lol

and that fucking bandbox.

Familia to close it out I guess?

should keep using Diaz in non save situations because his numbers are just soooo great in those situations

be trusted in almost any scenario and who can say they feel any better with Familia?

I know he's been terrible for 2 years but Familia looks right and if he's right there aren't more than a handful of better relievers in all baseball. And unlike Diaz when he's wrong it's usually not usually out of the park.

I feel pretty damn good about both of them.

Diaz was off...plain and simple. He's still elite.

And Familia is back. Anyone with eyes has to see that.

Thank the Lord!

As long as you feel damn good I guess there’s nothing to be concerned with.

I hope he’s not hurt after tonight. He’ll never justify the trade, or be the elite reliever we hoped, but he’s still a valuable bullpen piece and we’re better off with him available.

Familia looks a lot better this year. We were hoping one of him or Betances bounced back and it looks like we went 1/2 there.

I would agree that he’s looked better and to your point that he’ll “never be the elite reliever we hoped”, another poster claims that “he’s still elite”.

I still, like many, have flashbacks when he loses the strike zone, gets hit hard and leaves you holding your breath.

he is a high velocity/high K FB pitcher, that's how it's gonna go.

that's one of the reasons why I think it merits serious consideration to deploy him and Familia strategically. Familia throws a variety of sinking pitches which have made him 1 of the bigger groundball relievers since entering MLB. And he's still good enough to get the big k too. When he's not walking the park.

Lugo is the best of the 3 when it comes to control.

None of them are perfect and all of them can be keys to how far this team goes.
