Here we go again with another series thread. The Mets (49-46) are playing a Marlins team (33-63) that has the worst record in the National League & the second-worst record in MLB; only the White Sox (27-71) have a worse record. The Mets have gone 3-3 against the Marlins so far this season & will not play them again this season after this series. They need to take advantage of the weaker teams left on their schedule over the course of their remaining 67 regular season games such as this Marlins club they’re playing in this four-game set in Miami.

Notes:
-Tonight’s game will be televised on SNY, but tomorrow’s game will be on WPIX.
-The weather for tonight's game won’t be an issue since LoanDepot Park has a retractable roof. They have it closed most of the time (70 of 81 home games). The heat will be just too much for it to be open now (click
HERE to see), so thankfully it won’t be a factor in this game or series. They usually retract their roof in early season games in April.
-The Mets have a record of 9-5 so far in July & are 7-3 in their last 10 games. As of the start of play today, they sit in sole possession of the final Wildcard spot, a game ahead of both the defending National League champion Diamondbacks & Padres. Click
HERE to see the Wildcard standings for both the NL & the AL. The Mets have gone 27-13 in their last 40 games dating back to May 30th.

But, McNeil in right field is not a long term solution in my mind.
What's the story on Marte? He never got hurt in the tradition sense, just suddenly was out with no timetable for a return?
Wonder what DS is think for the next 67 games for RF?
According to MMO, McNeil is 141st out of 142 qualified MLB hitters in OPS at .591. Ouch, especially for a corner outfielder...

So... you're saying it can be worse 🤣
Ruh-Roh. I'd give his start to Butto then.

@WillSammon
It will go Manaea, Severino, Scott, Peterson.
Then: Quintana (assuming healthy then), Manaea vs. Yankees.

I'd try calling up Luke Ritter, he's starting in LF at SYR tonight. Make the obvious move to clear an OF spot on the 40.
As an additional possible move, I'd monitor Carlos Cortes for 2-3 weeks down in SYR. He's playing RF tonight, and he's at least earned a look-see with the big club.
While all this is happening, I'd give Baty a long look in the corner OF spots. He's playing 2B tonight in SYR.

Now Carlos Cortes hits a 3-run homer. SYR 4 ROC 1.
Quite a busy 1st Inning.
Wow. Um no.

1) Díaz
2) Núñez
3) Maton
4) Ottavino
5) Buttó
6) Houser
Lefties:
7) Diekman
8) Young
Notes:
*Sean-Reid Foley can't come back soon enough form his injury. I'd guess SRF would take Ottavino's spot if Otto continues to underwhelm.
**Gotta trade for a lefty. Impending FA Tanner Scott from the Fish would be a nice catch. Keep your eyes on him this series when he appears.
***When Senga comes back, they're gonna go to a 6-man rotation. One of these guys has gotta go when that happens in the next couple of weeks or so. Gonna be interesting to see who that would be. Rosters expand to 28 on September 1st, so they'd get an arm back for the pen then.
The WORST hitting team in the league.
Way to be prepared, Manaea.
This is a frustrating game.

stinks up the joint again. If they resign him, Stearns should get the pink slip.
Wow. Um no.
Um yeah. I'm not paying an aging corner infielder with a WAR of 1, no speed, and a below average defender jack shit. I'd be perfectly fine with Vientos at 1B, and Baty or Mauricio at third. Wouldn't think twice.

I don’t think they will get rid of Otto when SRF returns (although they should). They will end up sending down Nunez or Young (because…Mets).
When Senga returns, Scott will be sent packing. That’s my thought.

Nunez is not getting sent down unless he has multiple games where he gives up 2+ runs in a row. He's the set up man currently. Scott I'm not sure what they'll do because they want to limit his innings.

I hear you about Otto. Definitely because...Mets, lol. As far as Senga is concerned, Stearns has already gone record saying they'd go to a 6-man rotation. If Scott goes down, who takes his spot in the starting rotation?
1) Severino
2) Manaea
3) Quintana
4) Peterson
*5) Senga
**6) Scott
Can it be Stewart?????
P.S. Manaea is done.
If the Mets earn a wild card - I have zero faith that they have the pitching to even win a single game.
+1
Manaea musta went surfing during the break, lol. He was cheeks tonight.
vs. his last start last week (July 12th):
