Will be fired at the ASB. Just an awful coach who inspires no one on this team.

One team the Mets will have no worries about this year.

Jankowsi out 6-8 weeks after hand surgery. Szapucki sent down. Lopez and Nogosek brought up. Lopez appealed suspension. Knocked down to 1 game. Serving tonight.

Dan didn’t do a minor league thread, but Alvarez 4-4 with 2 HR, a 2B, and a walk. Nice to see him getting going again
2 run homer, Alonso  
Dennis : 5/27/2022 8:22 pm : link
Mets up 5-0.
Alonso is doing it all, offense and defense.
i missed the entire SF series  
PakistanPete : 5/27/2022 8:32 pm : link
because of the late start time.

This is fun!

I would expect them to bring up Plummer soon. With an off day yesterday, they probably figured it was a good time for Lopez to serve his suspension

Gmanfandan : 5/27/2022 10:27 pm : link

And we have a 7 game lead in the division - but this is a pretty important game to get to the finish line.

After the two losses in SF its time to right the ship - as long as you're looking for the ship to take you to the WS.

I mean... It was 1 hr tonight then bullpen shut it down ..


Huge win. They needed this.
Pete made a couple good defensive plays

The Mets need to bring in proven veterans for the bullpen. You cant let this team falter because of guys like Shreve and Smith and Rodriguez when you have the money to buy a better pen
Pete with a helluva game all the way around.

I can't put Smith in that category right now.

They will add an arm. We'll also get to say if May can get back to his pre Mets days once he is back. Still plenty of time before deadline to see what shakes out.
Who was it that said Syndergard was a jag now

I don't want to start calling people out but, he is now 4-2, low 3 ERA with like 20 something strikeouts ; not too shabby for a jag.

Based on IP the strikeout numbers are way down from Mets totals where he was at or above 1 K/IP. This year he is at 0.71. He also has failed to get out of 6th inning in over half of his starts. That tells me the ERA is likely to go up.

What is so special about Strikeouts now? Fielders can't field any more? I remember when Doc Gooden said he was going to Strikeout fewer batters and let the fielders take some of the pressure off him. It worked out well.

I would not mind having Noah still a Met right now . 2 mil is chump change for these salaries.
Noah  
pjcas18 : 5/28/2022 11:27 am : link
left by choice, not sure your point.

He had an offer from the Mets, he appeared ready to accept it and he never even gave the Mets a chance to counter his offer from the Angels.

He did not want to be here. Which is different from someone like Wheeler for example who was pissed the Mets never even made an offer.

The Mets likely would have given Noah the $2.5M more he got from the Angels.

but...if Noah stayed I doubt Scherzer was signed and injuries aside I prefer Scherzer if I had to pick one or the other.
Should have kept Wheeler

i wouldnt be against Noah...  
Italianju : 5/28/2022 11:43 am : link
on the mets but he is basically pitching like a 4/5 starter right now. That has value for sure, but it does put you as more a JAG then anything else. He is like 50th in IP in the AL, 60th in K's and hasnt even accumulated enough innings to be ranked in ERA/WHIP. Rankings dont really mean much, i was more using it to make the point he is a JAG i guess. We know wins are a mostly useless stat so his record doesnt really matter to me. His K numbers are awful. SO's are important because the more hitters put the ball in play the more they will get on base and score. Unless you are a guy who consistently has a low BAA on balls in play (Noah doesnt) then its tricky to keep a low ERA (or any advanced ERA stat) when you arent getting K's. His BABIP this year is 259, he hasnt been under 313 since his rookie year. So odds are there is some negative regression coming for him.

yeah wheeler is the one that is still upsetting....

Think about it this way...your talking about having Peterson and someone else start maybe up to 10 games...

If I'm being generous our win % with Max and Tylor is 80% they win 8 of 10? Without it's maybe 30-40%, say they win only 3-4 of those 10....it's not thaaaaat bad

At least we aren't the Orioles or Mariners who gave up on Cortes after getting him for nothing..
the strikeouts are less of a flag than syndergaard's velocity  
Eric on Li : 5/28/2022 1:42 pm : link
his average FB is 94 mph down from 97/98 in 2018/2019.

he's also 38 innings into a season where he will probably hit a wall and get shutdown somewhere between 100-150. So he may be a couple starts away from his season being halfway over.

i wanted him back as much as anyone but the mets dodged a bullet in terms of $. I think they still would have gone for Scherzer even with Syndergaard, but I doubt they'd have also added Bassitt - who is also $10m cheaper than Syndergaard would have been which gives them money to spend elsewhere.

also another HR for Vientos last night who is now up to .240 with an .810 OPS. A few more hot weeks and he may be an option to come up and get some DH at bats.

I like Bassitt but he stunk up the place recently and has an ERA nearly a point higher .

I’m scared to death of what’s coming unless we’re expecting Alonso to keep hitting like BAbe Ruth.

with a clean inning (2k's)

would be huge if he sticks.

one thing that hurts even more without deGrom and Scherzer is Walker needs to be used more and I'd like to be able to rest him so he's fresh in the 2nd half (unlike last year)
it should help walker that he's more built up by now  
Eric on Li : 5/28/2022 9:24 pm : link
2020 he threw 53 innings off basically 2 full lost years.
last year he threw 159 which was the 2nd most of his career and most since 2017.

but honestly if he can just bridge the gap to getting the top guys back over the next 1-2 months anything beyond that is gravy.
