-Alvarez is sitting today for Narvaez at Catcher; Narvaez is batting 9th.
-Baty's at the hot corner today and is batting 8th.
-Who'll we see get traded during the game today that's not playing?
-The Mets' 4-man bench today is Alvarez, Canha, Guillorme & Mendick.
P.S.
Enjoy Steve Cohen's press conference tomorrow before the game!
Meets the Mess! - (

only available if the person they are getting traded for outweighs them by 100 pounds?
Thanks for sharing Dan. We're fortunate to have Cohen being willing and able to send money in deals in order to get more back in return from teams. Hopefully one of Canha or Pham are dealt in the next month to give Mauricio a chance to play in LF. Same goes for Vogey (DFA I'd imagine), so Vientos can DH regularly. This has gotten to be ridiculous.

The Sultan of Swag!
What will Alonso do without his buddy?

They're all in CYA mode. I hope Uncle Stevie gives it to them tomorrow and makes them sweat. these mofos need to sing for their supper at this point.

Enjoy :-)
But 2 things I think he brought:
1) A calm, professional, hardworking, unrelenting approach to his craft despite being the best in the world...leading by example
And maybe more in importantly:
2) He just made it look so easy! As a pitcher it must have been such a positive thing to see a guy be so easy and so dominant. The mental aspect of the game is so huge and I think it had to be contagious.
I'm not saying they should have kept him. It was obviously the right call especially given the injury...
But I think the staff misses him despite the Verlander addition.
But until that 300+ hitter is back......I have to think O'Neil kidnapped Jeff and is wearing a McNeil mask!!!!!
Meanwhile...Atlanta already has 4 runs tonight.

Verlander and Scherzer are HoFers with world series rings. Whatever effect you're talking about with degrom would certainly apply to them too. There's no simple answer to why the Mets collapsed.
9 groundball outs and 0 fly outs.
101 pitches, 62 strikes.

If he is getting ground balls he is an effective pitcher. The problem is getting him to do that with any consistency.

Ehh not really what I'm getting at...Max and JV no doubt first balloters but they are different. For one they are old and they grind it out every pitch now...I think Max himself really benefitted from being around Jake.
Jake just in another class..the Koufax, Pedro level type total domination with ease... Seeing that every 5 days and in bullpens had to have a positive impact. .
Or yeah maybe I'm reaching. Lol

Think you're reaching. He didn't even pitch a lot last 2 years.
Verlander in the AL had just as good a year as anyone in history.
I think it is more they know they don't have to bat themselves.
So it is open season.
The only way it slows down is the hitters in the other dugout get on their pitcher.....which will never happen.
Ugh and now Vogey ..lol
Thing of beauty!!

i dont know if i believe his reporting on buck to be 100% accurate but the guy plays every game and makes good plays in more than he doesnt. lindor jump throw - ( New Window )
Thing of beauty!!
I still think the Jeter jump throw is the inferior play to the Rey Rey slide/pop throw but yeah..pretty awesome play
I'm sure he enjoyed being around a talented player, but I don't think he was in awe of deGrom or in any way felt inferior. Sure he may have learned from him, but maybe deGrom could have learned from Scherzer how to be effective and stay healthy. Because I fear deGrom will go down as an elite pitcher but one with a short peak due to health.
and Verlander is more accomplished than Scherzer.
I don't think in all of MLB today there are many more accomplished pitchers than those two. Kershaw? anyone else?
Like how when you golf with better golfers you play better than when you are the best in a foursome because they make it look so easy vs playing with guys who are spraying it around.
Just feels like there are way way less games where Mets pitchers are just mowing down with ease...even Peterson tonight had to battle through.
But I hear you guys..
Awful. The guy I like is Hartwig.
Lol!!
All jokes aside...they do need to rattle off a 10 win or 9-1 stretch and then could be back in wild card discussion

Game Story
-2 of @mets more interesting arms making starts today. @Chscott8 (arguably @mets best SP performer in 2023) for @RumblePoniesBB and Layonel Ovalles for @stluciemets
the mets forays into trying to be more analytical have not yet worked.
poor implementation was probably the biggest single downfall of zack scott. mcneil specifically had his worst year.
when they were at their best last year it was all about waiting on good pitches and hitting them hard.
the league adjusted and their deadline acquisitions flopped. and not only that JDD exploded in SF. huge misreads.
did they change their approach this year with the shift rules going away?
marte looking cooked athletically has also been a huge setback because he was a key piece last year.

Hey Dan, I just sent you an email regarding the Mets, FYI...

-Without giving away too many details, in the last few days I've spoken to multiple Mets fans who said Steve Cohen has personally reached out to them about the team (no not a form letter). You can tell he really does care.

Thanks Dan, I just sent it again....

The way I have always viewed Cohen is he's basically like any of us, but with $15 billion or whatever. He grew up a Mets fan. He's suffered. He wants to win. And he'll spend whatever resources he needs to win. Doesn't care if the Mets are profitable. He wants to win.
That's why I don't get the mockery posts of him. Last season was a good one. This season sucks. Does it mean it's because Cohen isn't doing what is necessary to win? No.
It they don't succeed, he will clean house. But he will always do what he can to help the team win.

+1 Totally agree.
