JayBinQueens : 5/27/2022 7:32 pm
Game 1 of a 'big' early season series.

1-0 Mets after Pete's sac fly RBI

Lindor just stole 2nd to make it 2nd and 3rd with 1 out

Man, @stluciemets
really is loaded with interesting players. 20 year old William Lugo has a 116 wRC+/.348 wOBA (top 25 in the league for both numbers) and @mets
liked him enough to sign him for $475,000 August 2018

Junior Tilien's 3 homer game on Sunday was the first 3 homer game in the 34 season history of @stluciemets
, that per @MavalloneMiLB

Probably land somewhere like Pittsburgh at the deadline for a RP or Quintana.

Could see that. The Paddack deal would have been a good one if he wasn't damaged goods but i assume they will do something similar - and at this point it might be better that they waited bc RP is probably the bigger need.

would be great but can't see Pittsburgh flipping him straight for Dom who is already arbitration eligible.
Megill

is throwing live BP today, Buck says 1-2 rehab starts before he can come back.

Since Dom has options remaining I am not surprised. Guillorme and Plummer are both hitting for now and Davis's metrics indicate that he has run into some bad luck. Give him some consistent AB's in AAA to work things out. With Drew Smith nicked up and 2/5 of the rotation being lucky if they give 5 IP they needed another bullpen arm.

Even if he replaces Trevor Williams in the starting rotation, his pitch counts were getting way too high. If he can't give you more than 5 IP that really taxes the bullpen. Mets might be better served tag teaming Williams with either Peterson or Megill in the hopes of getting 7-8 IP between them.

Yep....his anemic bat was not nearly enough to overcome the marginally better glove than Pete at 1B

Francisco Lindor is the NL Player of the Week for May 23-29.

All Lindor did was hit .348/.407/.870 with two doubles, two triples, two homers and -- here's the silly part -- 14 RBI, including at least one in all six games.

The Mets hadn't had an NL POTW since Syndergaard in '19.
Its much better than marginal  
Snablats : 5/31/2022 3:47 pm : link
but they need pitching and you cant send Plummer down now, plus he isnt hitting

Nope, it's marginal. If it was significantly better, Buck would have had him at 1B and Pete at DH.

But his hitting sucks, his glove isn't much of an improvement and they need pitching, so a clear no brainer move to send him down...
He is much better defensively  
Snablats : 5/31/2022 3:55 pm : link
which is why Dom always came in for late inning defense. But the need for pitching and Dom's lack of hitting sends him down

Again - if it was THAT much better, he'd be playing full time at 1B.

Oh, and "always"? LOL - it was a handful of times; certainly much less than "always"...
Alonso’s improved defense is a big part  
Metnut : 5/31/2022 4:04 pm : link
of why this is the right call to send Dom down to AAA. His defense doesn’t really add much value when Alonso is competent there and Smith doesn’t hit for shit.

Hopefully Smith can at least hit at AAA and redeem some value.

Looks fine to me... still find it odd they opt for Canha over Marte in CF, but I guess they have their reasons?

Brandon Nimmo had a good day and his wrist has improved, per Buck. He is expected to start either tomorrow or Thursday

Katoh might be listed as an OF but 0 games out there this year, Vientos also 0, with Lee suddenly showing signs of life, he may in fact get another chance quicker than expected despite his truly awful start to his season

i think they are trying to keep miles off his legs.
Apparently  
DanMetroMan : 5/31/2022 5:00 pm : link
Marte said he doesn't feel comfortable switching back and forth. That would explain it.

Embarrassing tbh.
Why not play Vientos in OF now

What is the downside?
