NFT: NFT: Orioles @ Mets game 1 (Means v Stroman)

jpkmets : 5/11/2021 5:25 pm
Means comes off the no-hitter and faces Marcus Stroman as the streaking Mets seak 6 in a row.

Lineup :

McNeil 2B
Lindor SS
Conforto RF
Alonso 1B
Pillar lF
Villar 3B
McCann C
Almora CF
Stroman P

Dom rests against the LHP but I’d imagine we see him for the 12pm game tomorrow against Harvey.

man Pillar/Villar has been critical signings.

They have been critical during this win streak, and filled in admirably with other guys out.
Awesome win

Nido is better than McCann. That is a ghost deal if I ever saw one.



It’s not a killer deal and I expect him to play better at some point. Just not a lot of options out there for the catching position.



The money is enough have to play him every day for the next 3 or 4 years. We could get the same production for a fraction of the cost. He hasn't even played well defensively. He can't play any worse than he already has so it if it doesn't get better it does become a killer deal.



So, you aren’t expecting McCann to improve? Saying that Nido is a better catcher is just a silly comment. I’ll chalk it up to frustration but in no world is Nido a better player. Nido is a horrific offensive player. I’m sure that McCann will turn things around.



I'm not expecting him to improve much. He has had 1 good year and 2 months. He was horrific in that AB just now. Nido has been better this year. Throw in the contract we gave him and it's a ghost deal like I mentioned. Hope he proves me wrong.


Lol, Nido has a whopping 5 hits over 21 plate appearances. Gimme a break. Small sample size doesn’t even cover it. Nido isn’t a good player and certainly isn’t better than McCann. But I do appreciate his 5 hits this season.

McCann is making $40 mil over 4 years. That’s not a ton of money. He was never going to be a huge offensive player and I know he’s sucked (like most of the team right now) but I believe he will get better.

It makes me happy that we have at least three different spellings of his name in the thread.
Nice win. Hope McNeil's ok

Holy crap the amount of whining in this thread.
Mets win again and another player gets injured  
Metnut : 5/11/2021 10:47 pm : link
Seems like this is par the course lately.

Keep stacking wins. Each win we get now is one less we’ll need in July and after when we’re healthy.

Two injuries tonight. So that should give us the win tomorrow.
McMeil and Almora should be ok.

McNeil had leg cramps that started to bother his lower back. Almora's x-rays were negative.


Albert Almora Jr.

Any truth to rumors McNeil pooped himself

? If so that would be second time right?
Almora's

play was like that scene from The Natural.
I don't think I've ever seen someone run into the wall  
Dr. D : 5/12/2021 9:54 am : link
with the velocity that Almora did. You could hear the impact, which I think was made mostly by his head. Hope he's ok.
I am sure there are others but the one that always comes to mind f

Was the guy on the Phillies in I think the 06 season where he broke his nose making the catch against the Mets.
