NEW YORK METS 2016 SEASON THREAD

[poorniko]

52

i think they at least get to 70 but its gonna be hard if this bullpen doesn't improve

 

[j steezzz84]

Anywhere from 74-80 realistically. 

The blind homer in me is thinking a wild card spot

 

[d3si]

90

I am pretty looking forward to seeing Dice-K this season. He's been pitching well lately.

 

[shalin monk]

It's so hard to root for this team !

 

[beh235]

72

It's so hard to root for this team !

you made me turn to the game to check the score and....

 

[youngin33]

We have struck out almost 50 percent of ABs this year. That is hard to do.

 

[d3si]

Colon pitched well at beginning until Desmond and Gio hitting a solo homer. Mets players better give Colon some run support next time.

Curtis Granderson :x His second strikeout was pretty ugly.

 

[shalin monk]

Yeah that Gio homer was really disheartening. But im gonna remain optimistic this year and hope that they will play competitive ball this year.

 

[jhova718]

MEH we are literally still 160 games away from playoffs. lets chill.

 

[beh235]

Yeah, it's way too early to panic, I'll zero in after the NBA playoffs 

 

[beh235]

They're killing Daniel Murphy

They're killing Daniel Murphy 

I was listening to mike & mike, like seriously?

It's dumb. He's allowed to do it and the season isn't even a week old 

 

[scarsorscabs]

MEH we are literally still 160 games away from not making the playoffs. lets chill.

Good point.

 

[proshares]

Another reason Mike Francesca, Boomer, Carton and Mike & Mike should be shot in the throat. ******* morons. I find it incredible that a topic like this is something that gets them so bent out of shape. Mike & Mike reaming Buster Olney because he's complaining about replay using the argument that it's only been two games yet killing Murphy for missing two games to see his newborn kid. And these are the same simple ************* who dismiss MLB's DUI/DWI epidemic.

Good points.  They've found a hot button topic that they know will stir **** up and cause people to tune in so they're gonna ride the hell out of it.

 at Francesca's fat *** talmbout how he went into work the same day as his child being born.  Yes, because sitting in front of a microphone drinking soda is comparable to being on the road half of the year playing baseball.  That Murphy doesn't need to be there with his wife the first few days because she can just hire a nanny with his salary which he should be out earning instead.  FOH.  

Athletes are still people as are their families, they get treated like commodities that are just there for our entertainment and if not they should be ridiculed and/or disposed of.

Francesa said that? What a jerk 

. But then again he had a warm seat for Afraud as soon as he left his deposition 

.

 

[mez 0ne]

You'd think after all these years Fatcessa would get the idea that the diet soda has not worked out.

 

[youngin33]

Wheeler on mound today. If he improves upon last year that is a big step in his progression.

Did not hear any of the slander towards Murphy but that is just idiotic.

"One day I understand. And in the old days they didn’t do that. But one day, go see the baby be born and come back. You’re a Major League Baseball player. You can hire a nurse to take care of the baby if your wife needs help,” WFAN afternoon host Mike Francesa said on Wednesday.

“For a baseball player. You take a day, all right. Back in the lineup the next day! What are you doing?” he said. “I guarantee you are not sitting there holding your wife’s hand. . . . I had three kids. . . I was at the birth and was back to work the next day. I didn’t see any reason not to be working. Harrison (Francesa’s son) was born at nine in the morning. I worked that day.  What was I gonna do, sit with my wife in the hospital?”

[scarsorscabs]

I'm changing my prediction from 62 to 12.

Yes, 12.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

It was inexcusable to go into the season with that bullpen. I know you don't want to invest big money in a bullpen but Torres/Rice as linchpins is a joke.

 

[d3si]

I'll still stick with my predication for Mets' win this season. Hopefully they overcome their pitching problem. 160+ pitches per game in three games. :x

 

[shalin monk]

Yeah the bull pen is atrocious. The nats have been beating up on is the past few years so it's no surprise they swept us. Now on to the reds. Hopefully we can get 2 of these games. Let's Go Mets!!
