If only deGrom could teach him how to get a couple more mph, he might not need a third pitch lol

so nice to have him back

The Man. The Myth. The Megill.

Offense has arisen today. Nice to see!

Yes, two guys back makes a massive difference.

The quality can wear a pitcher down now. Nice to see.

this weekend!

Kid looks great.

Age at MLB debut for Megill: 25 years, 330 days.
Age at MLB debut for deGrom: 25 years, 330 days

Just sayin’

This Wagner interview is awesome.

So awesome to see him on these pitches. When he is hot, he gets scalding.

!

1 inning 2 hits 1 k, 91-93... this will go well lol

from two weeks ago. Don’t trust him ATM.

Guillorme is a wiz with the glove.

Gross. Keep him in Syracuse.

and a run scored tonight.

It's sad when you need an entire webpage to track all the current injuries


LONK - ( New Window )

Big time here.

to make it out of here. We need this game and Castro is not all there right now. Hopefully he can make a good pitch, get Almonte and hit the showers.

sucks now

on 2-1.

Hopefully that carries over!

Hit the showers, Castro.

Need Oswalt to keep it together for the next 3 innings

NEWS: This afternoon the Mets fired four clubhouse assistants and their long-time clubhouse chef. A team spokesman confirmed the firings and said, "We do not comment on personnel matters, except to confirm this had nothing to do with the WilmerHale culture review."

Lindor!

soon enough. Teams are having their pitchers pinch hit. Its embarrassing

Love it, Mets!

to spark this offnse

lets fn go.

side note, can't say it enough. Jeremy Hefner has magical things here

The lineup sure is different with Conforto and McNeil in it.

And they grab a game against everyone except for Washington.

About clubhouse and chef

.

to hear what Billy Wagner said as a guest on the broadcast last night.

He talked about using "stuff" to aid his grip, I think he particularly mentioned pine tar. Also said he "grew up on it"...

For those pitchers out there....was I living in a bubble through the late 90s and 2000s as a HS/Club pitcher? Were people at that level using "stuff"? I never used ANYTHING. Not even rosin. I unfortunately had a HS Wrestling coach serving as my baseball coach so didn't learn much from him...he just pushed me out there for over half our teams innings and said "throw hard"..

I'm looking back regretful... throwing 85/86 as a 17 year old senior, I either struck guys out or hit em when things slipped. Now I'm sitting here wondering 'what if' again! haha

all quarters last night. Today is the rare time I welcome an off day during the season. Phillies in for two tomorrow (4 in 3 days overall), then a make-up game in Washington on the way to Atlanta for 3. Love to hang 5-3 on the next eight and that gives us 8-8 over the 16 division game stretch.

But really felt like that was a big win last night given the recent offensive struggles.

McNeil, with his aggression, seems to like leadoff. Any thought to keeping him there, having Nimmo hit two, Lindor 3. Alonso 4 and use Conforto to try and protect Alonso at 5?

I think I might try that. Pete has been getting a lot of offspeed off the plate and isn’t selective enough to make that work at this point.

I have a hard time taking Nimmo out of leadoff if healthy.

I go Nimmo, Lindor, Conforto, Alonso, McNeil, Smith right now. You can switch around depending on who is hot.

while getting on base at a .430 clip. Looking forward to him having a normal Lindor, Conforto, and Alonso hitting behind him

Eno said he spoke to a "bunch" of pitchers and each and every one of them guessed extremely high numbers on how many pitchers used at least sunscreen. His guess based on his conversations was about 85%. Related... Eno Sarris is top notch. His content is great.

A prospect because vientos hasn’t stopped hitting since. If only anyone wanted to argue Lindsey.

I'll take the Lindsey sucks side ...

but Lindsay was released June 8

last 10 games: .325 BA (13-40) with 9 runs, 2 doubles, 6 HR, and 13 RBI

We missed our chance to give him the BBI bump

He’s easily one of the best in the business if healthy.

I’d probably go

Nimmo
Lindor
McNeil
Alonso
Conforto
Villar
Dom
McCann

Lindor, Dom, and McCann all up to a 95/96 wRC+ now. Almost at league average after all hovering around 60 at one point! And that’s the three worst this year.

Conforto, Alonso, Villar, LG, McNeil, Nimmo all well over.

No offense to the Tovar’s, Perazas, and Drury’s... but thank God!

deGrom is slated as the Saturday Game 2 starter ... Eickhoff Sunday. Our string of not seeing the top of the rotation continues. lol

What are the chances he gets pushed to Sunday?

A guy can hope.
