1:10 pm EST start at Citi Field
Mets have won the season series against the Reds already (4-1). Today is the last game of the series as well as the season against the Redlegs. Tomorrow's an off-day. Hopefully Taijuan Walker responds positively to his previous start.
#LFGM!

He texted me after Thor's debut and said "The Phillies are interested in deGrom to join Wheeler and Thor in Philly"
I have to admit, that was pretty funny, though the thought made me nauseous

The thought of Jake going to Philly makes me nauseous. It would be like Lt joining the Eagles. I think I'm gonna be sick.
Didn't realize he grew up a Braves fan. Makes sense though, as he grew up in FL.
Just no Braves/Yankees/Phillies for me. Though it would make me sick to see him in any other uniform. He is one of those players you pay to have him retire as a Met, even if it's a bad contract. This is the stuff I hope happens having a billionaire superfan as the owner
2 ER
5 H
3 BB
5 SO
Will he start the 7th?
Good point.
Especially now, having broken the game wide open
Yes, they are really bad.
Going (at least) 4-3 would be huge
No team will take on his contract, of course; and the end of 10 year contracts are often bad ROI's.
He's owed..
25 million in 2022
25 million in 2023
20 million in 2022
Ouch, but nice work if you can find it.
To be fair he was great from 2007-2018, MVP in 2010, but now, it's ugly to watch.

Hopefully Lindor doesn't look like this at the end of his monster deal ending in 2031. He's 28 now and would be 37--a month shy of 38 actually since his birthday is in Mid-November--at the end of it.

Trevor Williams is out there for the 8th. Guessing Medina gets the 9th. Might need Trevor in three days on Saturday for Jake. Let's see.

opti...Something I missed on Jacob or are you just speculating?

Just me speculating and being paranoid, lol.

Votto is 38 (39 next month) and still has two years on his deal, so 40 in his last year. Lindor will be a few years younger during his last year.
Then again, lindor plays a much more demanding position….
Love your thinking on that one. A's would be a good fit for Dom. Goes home to CA, less pressure, gets full-time PT. He could really flourish there and the A's could use some cost-controlled position players. And Puk would be a huge get for the Mets. Would throw in another player or two of the Otanez/Lee/Plummer variety to get it done.
Colorado, wash, Pitt, Cubs, Oakland. I really don’t see how we don’t hit 100 wins

love to see them look into Dom (and likely some cash) for AJ Puk. Dom would get a chance to start, back home in California, and he and Puk are the same age. Puk has more years of control but he's also a non-closing RP. Dom will make 4+ next season so the Mets would likely have to kick in money (and/or another "prospect) but I think that's the kind of move that might make sense.

Yeah to be clear, when I say prospect I don't mean absolute trash but "filler"... like the names you mentioned. Dom simply has no future here anymore. Alonso is the every day 1b, Ruf and Vogelbach signed for next year + Vientos. Puk would fill an organizational need (no clear lefty reliever on the horizon internally).
He looked excellent out there today (who wouldn't though against this trash eds team, lol) and pretty good before.
My man Bob Murphy used love his Rheingold........
How great was it growing up with Lindsey, Ralph and Bob

+1 Makes perfect sense for all parties involved. Hopefully we send Dom away in the off-season with something shiny on his ring finger :-)

The Mets have a history of great starting pitching and great announcers.

I'm an 80s kid, so I missed Lindsey Nelson. Would have loved him I'm sure. I loved listening to Bob Murphy and watching Kiner's Korner on Channel 9 back in the day after n' before games growing up.
Speaking of Dom having no place, his only real chance may be if (knock on wood) Alonso gets injured. If Vogelbach is out, Palka may step into his role.
Palka has a .523 OPS vs lefties. Against righties, in his career in the majors he has a .749 OPS, with 27 HR in 415 AB. Palka right now may be the Vogelbach insurance. Lefty that only hits righties and can't field.

Anyone remember how good Tim McCarver broadcasting games? He was a good announcer too right? I also remememer Kiners Korner. They got like $100 cash or something for being on the show. Was that really a perk though for even an 80s ball player salary/
Anyway, Mets fans have been particularly lucky with their broadcasters. I hate it when the game is on espn and you have their shitty announcers doing it.
