Carlos Carrasco underwent an MRI this morning that revealed a low-grade left oblique strain. A typical timeline for an injury of this nature is 3-4 weeks. Additional updates will be provided as appropriate.
WOW
What a horrid decision to put him back in that game. Absolutely brutal
Buck has done a great job this year, but that decision ridiculously stupid.
see above man.
Strider went back out for 3 more innings, and he was fine, Carrasco could have just as easily been injured doing nothing.

Sure..
But Strider is 23 years old.

And two years removed from TJS.
By that time, we should also have Drew smith back, as well as Tyler Megill. McNeil and Escobar are fighting through their ills and should hopefully be whole again very soon, with more of a concern placed on Escobar injury-wise than McNeil now.
Nido's gonna be out with Covid for a week or slightly more, so we're gonna need McCann to earn his pay now. If the Mets can just go 5-5 over this ten game road trip against the Braves, Phils, and Yankees, than I'll feel pretty good about things, especially in light of this spat of injuries.
and for a similar reason i actually don't even have much issue with Marrero, almost every team has a backup SS and most of them are no-hit auto outs.
my issue is not hedging at 3b because of Escobar's injury and performance level. if escobar is a valuable contributor isn't the smart move to get him healthy and not run him out there every day while he's not 100% (which they've acknowledged since he can't bat righty)?
the carrasco injury opens up a roster spot for them to bring up an extra 3b without impacting the BP. Even if it's just to give Escobar a few days off until he's 100% why not do it?

He is.
Should go with Baty.
Went to a Mets-Marlins game where JT Riddle got a 3 run HR. I am always good for that. The worst player for the Marlins seems to rake one when I go. Jeff Mathis hit one another game.
this seems last minute bc Escobar was in the lineup, so presumably he got scratched and Marrero was the only option.
which was the exact obvious potential likelihood we all first guessed saying they should prepare for by calling up a 3b.
they have the extra roster spot with Carrasco going to the IL.
they may get another one if Escobar goes to the IL (which he should have done a week ago).
so great news, lockers for both Gosuke and Travis!

a day late the syracuse lineup will tell the story!
very exciting news if true.

Clearly these two items were more important to the Mets then the made-up numbers

"made up numbers".
Do you actually believe the shit you type?

Just because your pea brain doesn't have the capability to understand how he numbers are calculated/valued, doesn't mean they are "made up". LOL...
"Defense: 40/50
Lack of speed and athleticism gives him a limited defensive profile; shows subpar range in left field and doesn’t get consistently good jumps; makes the routine plays but also struggles at times controlling the speed of the game, which could be an issue in the minor leagues; candidate to move to first base as a professional, which could potentially accelerate his ascent up the ladder.
MLB Player Comparison: Josh Willingham"
Slow afoot, Conforto has limited outfield range. He is best suited to play left field, with average arm strength and average overall defensive ability. Conforto will likely reach most balls hit in his general area.
Here is Keith Law
"Defensively, however, Conforto is a bit of a mess. He doesn't get good jumps on the ball in the outfield, and when he does get to the ball he has a poor throwing arm that runners can take extra bases on. He more than likely is going to end up at first base, though it's unlikely he'll be anything more than average there, and the bat doesn't play as well."

Nothing. Clearly Baty's defense is not very good and he strikes out a lot. Conforto's defense was solid and he struck out much less.

Aww. Poor baby who cant watch a game and understand what's happening has to look at made up numbers to figure out what he just saw
How did baseball survive all those years with these new numbers?
Here is Baseball Prospectus.
Try fucking Google, you may learn something?

Baty made 9 errors at 3B, and infield defense is much harder physically and especially mentally than outfield defense

Baseball did just fine. However - like most people in real life - teams can find ways to improve their product when they have access to additional information.
Not that I'd expect you to understand that...
Baty made 9 errors at 3B, and infield defense is much harder physically and especially mentally than outfield defense
"Errors" Nolan Arenado made 23 errors at AA in 2012 and is arguably the best defensive 3b of this generation (9 GG's) Baty will never be Nolan Arenado defensively but "errors" only tell you flubs on balls you get to, not range, not balls other defenders didn't even have a chance on.
Andrelton Simmons is a top 3-4 best defensive SS in the history of the sport, he had 28 errors as a 21 year old in A+.
LOL, so the Mets are the ONLY team that does situational hitting?
I'll ask again - do you actually believe the shit you type??
Walker and Peterson are now competing for that 4th starter spot with I guess Williams as more of a spot starter than long man? rosters are expanding soon so may as well stretch him as much as they can (even if they probably need to call up someone else to start on Saturday).
The Mets designated Nick Plummer for assignment.
which makes sense since he can play LF and they now have a bunch of OF options ahead of Plummer.

And when he got to the Mets he did fine. So he either learned at AA or Law and others were wrong, which happens all the time

And now you reach for crap that has nothing to do with anything because you have no argument left. Im sure Ozzie Smith made errors in the minors, too
You are the one who has posted all year about how Baty has been below average defensively
Wasn't very impressive defensively, especially on the backhand side. Decent arm.
But he didn't get drafted for his glove. He was drafted for his stick.
“I’m trying to convey to everyone here — and we’ve had mutual conversations about it — that I can play center field, I can do it well. There’s definitely some things to improve upon. If there’s one person that can make adjustments, I think it’s me. … I take it as a challenge to be a better defender and be a better leader out there.”
He only faced 7 batters, hitting 2 and walking 1, but was consistently up to 96-97 mph.

I have always said analytics is good as a tool, as its used here. It cannot be the be all end all for a franchise - as it was last year under Zack Scott, who spent his entire career in analytics with his Math degree

And yeah there’s definitely things that I need to work on and that I’m gonna continue to work on,” Nimmo explained. “I think playing depth is one of those things that they outlined in the *analytics* There’s other things in the analytics that we can highlight and we can go after. I think that’s one big thing that will help me.

LOL - don't hurt yourself too much on that backpedal.
Defensive analytics are just more of those new fangled "made up numbers"....
