NFT: Mets at Braves: Game 2 - Scherzer vs. Morton - 7:20 pm EDT

This Vogelback thing is baffling

this series. LGM!

And yes ... the Vogelbach thing is ... more curious than the Canada smoke. At least the smoke is explainable.

Denyi Reyes has not recorded a win since 4/13/2022, a span of 22 appearances (18 starts) and dating back to winterball 2021-2022 is now 1-14 over his last 15 decisions

which brings up the question of why not start Vientos yesterday instead of vogelsnack instead of sitting him 3 days in a row?

if vientos sits after a game tying homer, and a key extra innings rbi, and several deep fly balls with crazy exit velo, why can't vogelbach sit after 1 extra base hit and 1 rbi?

as if vogelbakkk needed it, buck has put his thumb on the scales for the last month. if he doesn't reward buck with a big game tonight Eppler needs to just DFA him and be done with it. feels like we need a 'you traded pena' intervention here.

is criminal.

Can it get much worse?

I hope Pete's ok. Moron got him right on the wrist.

pham pinch running and canha going to go to 1b. at this point im rooting for a vientos trade and him making them look stupid elsewhere.

if they sign shohei and get back something decent no harm no foul. but they deserve to look stupid because their handling of vientos makes the holderman trade look smart.

he is swinging at so much junk out of the zone. would be thrilled to look stupid in a few months but he looks possibly cooked.

this was off Syndergaard. It was a bomb, almost out of the stadium.

Ella De La Cruz just hit his first HR. 460 feet. 115 off the bat.

from Syndergaard where he said "I would give up my hypothetical first born to be my old self"

Has to be frustrating to an athlete to lose your talent, especially as young as he did.

Syndergaard, Harvey, deGrom all basically out of baseball or close to it.

Matz a JAG with ~ a 5 FIP and a 1.7 WHIP.

Wheeler outlasts them all.

goes yard.

Narvaez 50% of the time now.

or was it completely coincidental after last night? Piece of shit Braves

I honestly don't know. Keith said it wasn't intentional, but it's still just an opinion. My first reaction was that it was payback for yesterday, but Morton's reaction seemed to be genuine that it was an accident. He was pitching him up and in though, so that part wasn't an accident.

See below...

Don't believe there was intent there. Pretty dumb to throw at a guy for a little chirping when your team got the last laugh anyway.

getting IF BABIP'd big time here.

day to day.

X-rays were negative. Sounds like he's basically OK.

Thank God. Let's see how he is tomorrow. I hope it doesn't swell up.

Howya doin Dennis? Long time no see!

Wow didn't think that was going out. Another 4-1 lead. Let's keep this one tonight.

That's how you cement your position on a roster as a backup! Hopefully they hang onto their 4-1 lead this time...

It's hot here in FL.
How about you? How are you feeling? Better than last summer? You were really not feeling well last summer, I hope you're doing better now?
Dennis

insetead of VOlgie

Hate when they play here....

And we lose another 4-1 lead.

What a weird stat line for Max: 5.2 innings, 10K's (0 BB) and 11 hits (and 5 runs) allowed (and maybe more runs).

almost got it out.

Volgie has to be the odd man out

Marte gets on. Vogel hits into a DP.

and rapidly approaching dom smith's. dom actually had 5 more xbh too. the deadline last year is still killing this team.

the entire reason why you pay a manager like buck is to create a winning culture and this isnt that.

"i didn't expect them to play a struggling young guy, credit to them for being creative with their lineup"

Vientos in the doghouse?

And I’m sure he’ll make it a point to emphasize the Acuna and Harris catches as THE turning points.

No one thought they were going to win tonight, no one! And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Verlander pitches well tomorrow and loses 2 - 1.

2 brutal losses. just finding ways to lose night in night out. buck catatonic in the clubhouse crying into vogelbachs chest like he's meatloaf.

Please sit Volgie.

I honestly don’t know how anyone can watch this team and not think they look like a compilation of gutless, lifeless losers. They’re so far from inspiring.

I know it’s early but it’s hard to imagine much changing, and let’s face it, they’re just not getting by the Braves with this squad.

just play the kids

They won’t throw all the kids out there but I’m probably not alone in thinking I’d rather see them go down with youth as opposed to seeing them trot out the useless, washed up vets.

Was this a joke?

It's not hard... play the most talented players. If struggling, give them a day and then put them back in and let them ride it out. Baseball is a game of ups and downs and the most talented guys WILL return to their mean.

That means..

Play Alvarez 5 days a week
Play Baty and Vientos 6 days a weak

No more of this platooning crap.

Let the talent ride.

All over baseball. Some of these teams are platooning 3 or 4 guys every night. Honestly thought Buck was smarter than this. Vogelbach was never that good to begin with and is useless if not playing.

Vientos is mine boggling, and Alvarez. I can see if they had good options playing over them. Does anyone think Alvarez would even be up with the Mets if not for injuries?

But playing a struggling vet like Vogey should be expected? Not sure what he's trying to say here - Michael Harris was ROY last year and is valuable in the field and on the basepaths. Vogey is a one trick poney who is below league average in the only strength of his game. Harris has proven more in one season than Vogey has in his career.

A lot of managers must be shaking their head at Buck right now

Probably would've been riding the bench instead of beginning his HOF career and contributing to winning a WS in '96, if the Yankees hadn't fired Buck after '95.
