Who will command the tank today?!?!
I actually caught a game at T-Mobile right after the All-Star break and saw Castillo first hand...he's tough.
Surprised to see Vientos over Baty.
And, wouldn't it be fun, and with little down side at this point, to see Mauricio in the two hole, with all that speed. Push McNeil to five, etc.

De nada compadre. Ya can't move Vogelsnack from the 5 spot!
All four in the starting lineup? I’d say 0 games and feel really comfortable with that guess. No way Buck does that to his boy(s).

I think we MIGHT see it once or twice by happenstance, but Buck, given his druthers, won't do it at all. Infuriating really.

He is the definition of long levered. Mind boggling some prospect writers think there are 100 minor leaguers presumably with better tools.

Maybe the new president of baseball operations will make Buck play them all in one game :D

Why so? Just because I think Buck can manage this ball club just fine by himself? I trust Buck and whoever he puts out there I’ll root for , but he already addressed this in a press conference when he said “two people can’t play 3rd base”

what's ironic is that so far in his very small sample size the 'free swinging' mentality has him looking more ready than the other recent met debuts who all had walk rates twice as high. his 'see ball hit ball' game may not be ideal long term but it's a simpler approach.

I've been to 10 games this year and haven't spent that much for food in all 10 games put together: I've learned my lesson there...the food is not good, it's expensive, and not healthy...
Of course, I've paid $40 for parking the times I didn't take the 7 Line (which is such a throw back of an experience for me as a kid going the Shea from the city) so they'll get you comin' or going, I suppose.
Anyway, back to reality…the Mets are going to really need to retool their pitching - starters and relievers. Like, hugely.
2/3 with 3 batted balls over 103mph for vientos tonight off castillo.

One can DH so you can get both Vientos and Baty in the lineup. Or one can play 1B and you have Alonso DH.

I’m pretty sure Buck knows he can do that. I’m assuming he said that because he doesn’t like the idea of he might do that for a lefty pitcher.
Meanwhile I think they just said on the broadcast Buck is really partial to fielding . Kinda ironic considering his what appears to be partiality to Vovelbach who once upon a time player first base.
Im just guessing here but that Vientios error and Baty errors are probably why you won’t see those two playing 1b and 3B respectively ; iit would like the bad news bears in the fiield

He was less than 20% k rate this year in AaA in 490 abs
So the ONE person here who loves Vogelbach also LOVES Buck and thinks he’s also done a great job this season. You can’t write ignorance any better.
He’s having quite the year. I hope he’s peaking, lol.

The popular knock on him has been “poor swing decisions” (including by the Mets to some degree in trying to justify not calling him up earlier).
I am with you though, if he’s not k’ing and making the kind of hard contact he makes, I’m not that worried about imperfect plate discipline at 22.

Buck has lost five players at the trade deadline. Keith H said he has never seen anything like it in his whole career. I’m not 100percent confident in Buck but, what are your qualifications to second guess him? You read what some blowhard writes in the athletic?

That’s insane.

I’m just hoping it’s all genetic.
Quote:
Knee-jerk reactions IN A LOST SEASON showing zero confidence in young players that will be here long after Buck is sent to pasture. Pulling a player who went 2 for 3 with a HR for defense in a game you are losing? For a player hitting .125?? Lol.

You realize that he lost 5 pitchers at the deadline because he managed a horrible team up to that point, right? Right?
Nothing you post makes any fucking sense. And by the way, you could switch Buck for a deck chair and I’m confident they would have a better record this season. But you do you.

I’d suspected a vogelbach relative but the reluctance to pay for hot dogs is swinging me to think you may be a showalter.

Is this really why Arauz came in for Vientos?

Yes, because Bucks motto is…

Watch out National League. His wife just left the country for Venezuela. Acuna will have all his strength for baseball now.
dont trigger arcade_games.
This was the 2nd time he's been thrown out at 2nd base in the last month. Doesn't he learn from his mistakes?
If I were he, and my career hung in the balance, and all I needed to do to continue making $1 million+ a year, was lose weight, wouldn't I do that? If the only thing standing between the envied job of being a major league BB player, and painting cars at Earl Sheib, was losing 50 lbs, couldn't I do that?
It's an indication of his either stupidity or intractable eating disorder that he can't do that.
A definition of a compulsion is: any behavior that causes problems in one's life, no matter how frequent or infrequent, that one either cannot or will not stop.
Vogelbach really has a problem, and it's costing both him and the Mets dearly.

LOL. Thanks, I'm sorry. I'm just so frustrated with this stupid year and baseball team, and he is the epitome of it for me.
can anyone except snablats think of a good reason for vogelbach to hit ahead of stewart at this point?
