NFT: Pads @ Mets finale

jpkmets : 6/13/2021 1:28 pm
Ok, I’ll take the bullet on Lucchesi.

Bottom one, Mets down 1-0 on a lead off dinger. Villar out with a family issue. Hope all is well.

Guilorme with a nice AB leads off with a single off Paddack
Lindor smoked  
jpkmets : 6/13/2021 1:29 pm : link
One but right at the CF.

Really want Pete to take this guy yard.
Does Dom fit in when the Mets are healthy?  
dannysection 313 : 6/13/2021 1:39 pm : link
Nimmo, Conforto, and one more...

McKinney, small sample size on offense, is clearly the better defensive outfielder....Would the Mets think Pillar/McKinney platoon, Dom the odd man out? And, does Almora have a spot at all?

Also, Villar is so much better than J.D. Davis in the field. If and when Davis comes back, do you really bench Villar?

Good problems to have if, big if, these guys come back.

I do not bench Villar for Davis. He’s been great and having a 3B who can make routine throws without incident is huge for this team.

Dom hasn’t found it this year. I’m not sure what to make of him right now.

Luchesi has a knack of getting the DP ball lately. And, as always, infield positioning is on point.

Hopefully the bats awaken and give us some runs today.

4, 5,6?
Luchesi  
jpkmets : 6/13/2021 1:56 pm : link
is settling in pretty well. Good to see. He hasn’t been bad lately, just not particularly efficient. I’ll sign up for him keeping us in games for 5ip or so. Should work out ok overall with this bullpen and bats (at least theoretically as far as the offense goes)

Yeah probably pinch hit for him next time he is up if he makes it that far.

Yep, definitely one you gratefully take 5 from and yank. But a good five is perfectly acceptable from a 5th starter. Definitely would be just fine if Peterson figures his shit out. If Carrasco or Thor were ready, gotta keep Luchesi and let Peterson find himself in AAA.
Excellent AB  
jpkmets : 6/13/2021 2:17 pm : link
by Lindor. Some great close takes that he looked into the mit like Mattingly used to and then ripped a double.

Paddack lives in Alonso’s dome. Hope he gets it together this AB and just moves Lindor over at least.
Pete can be a head case

I think he puts a ton of pressure on himself.

already down 4-0 vs the Phillies. Was hoping the Mets could pick some ground up on the Phillies with a series win, but looking like they will need the sweep to do so

Vanzetti : 6/13/2021 2:24 pm : link
There was a stat a few weeks ago that Pete sees fewer strikes than all but five batters in MLB

Pitchers do t have to throw him strikes because he chases. This problem seems to get worse after he hits a few homers. It’s like he is trying

Great offensive duos in history.

At least two of those (Lugo and Diaz) are likely unavailable.

Maybe Rojas is looking for two from Familia? Who closes today if it comes to that? May? It’s going to be interesting (hopefully)
Good move by Rojas

Pham has been right on Lucchesi and then you have Tatis and Myers.

Good move to take Joey out. He did his job

Right away. Gonna need some defense and runs.
Dom has to catch that. I know it would have been a tough catch  
CooperDash : 6/13/2021 2:52 pm : link
but it was in his glove. I know it’s not his primary position but Dom’s defense out in left is tough to watch.

Lugo definitely not available I’d think. Yesterday was his first b2b this year. Diaz has 8 outs last two days, so he might be a maybe.

So, Fam, Gsellman, maybe Loup (pitches last two days) and May are the close game BP I’d guess.
Huge double play

Yup. Just no room for it today with the short bullpen. Ahhh well, gotta just get ready for the Cubs and take the series win

I enjoy watching Tatis play, but that move he does on his trot is something I don’t love seeing against the Mets.
The reality is that Rojas should have pulled Familia much sooner.

All kidding aside, he umpire really screwed Barnes on that blown  
CooperDash : 6/13/2021 3:45 pm : link
strike call. If that pitch is correctly called a strike, maybe he throws a different pitch after and no grand slam. Shows you how one blown strike call by the umpire can change the game. I really look forward to the day we start using an electronic strike one.

And I don’t begrudge umpires for the calls they miss - it must be incredibly hard to call balls and strikes, especially the close ones. But in the day and age, it’s just unnecessary.

That being said - I hate the umpires that have “their own” strike zone as if it’s an actual choice to change the rules.

Barnes had a few nice outings but he really is not that good. If you pull Famolia, go to May or Lugo or Castro

Tough spot today  
Metnut : 6/13/2021 5:02 pm : link
Whole lot of bullpen guys were not available today.

With a Joey L start and a thin pen, need more than 3 runs to win.

Nice series win vs pads. Keep it going vs a really hot chi Cubs team.
Tough loss, but it's nice to see Luchesi giving us 5 respectable

Mets apparently had a "very large" group on hand to see McLain. They would almost certainly begin his career at SS and move him as he reached the upper minors.

The Mets' outfield should soon be fully healthy. Michael Conforto has aired it out in baserunning drills for three straight days. He and Brandon Nimmo could both be days away from rehab assignments.

Backup Albert Almora is also continuing his rehab with Syracuse. He's close.

Tea leaves are surely headed toward McKinney taking Almora's role once Conforto/Nimmo are back. "Comfortable with McKinney seeing some time in CF".

I forgot Almora has an option left so he'll just be demoted. But he'd be the 6th OF and can't hit so he's a waste of a roster spot.


Dom, Pillar, McKinney, Nimmo, Conforto... even Williams/Fargas.. Almora has close to zero value with McKinney now here.
