🍎 OFFICIAL NEW YORK METS THREAD 🍎: @San Francisco 4/22-4/24

[ballinsam23]

atleast there's one positive from this season

 

[mrdozo]

Todays (08/08/1 lineup:
Rosario - SS McNeil - 2B Flores - 1B Conforto - LF Bautista - 3B Nimmo - RF Jackson - CF Mesoraco - C deGrom - P

Nimmo batting 6th is a serious mistake. Slump or no slump.

Theres rumors that Rosario may be playing CF next season.......https://nypost.com/2018/08/08/mets-looking-within-to-find-an-answer-at-this-position-in-2019/
He def has the speed for it, not sure about the arm tho.

Also, can we just cut Jason Vargas? Please.

 

[mrdozo]

Mets should consider giving Mesoraco another contract for next year.

Austin Jackson is hitting pretty well as a Met thus far.

Finally 5 runs support for deGrom today

47 IP total in 12 games for Jason "inning eater" Vargas this season

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

I wanted to see Tebow this season (but he got hurt) , the dude will be 40 before he's called up

Vargas was a horrible signing. Seems like all of the free-agent signings from last off-season have been horrible (Bruce, Frazier, Sewald, Reyes, Swarzak and Vargas).
All have either been injured a great amount and/or under performed miserably.

He's a true Met

 

[mrdozo]

sup my fellow mets fans.

I think Jeff Mcneil is a keeper and I'd offer Austin Jackson a 1-year contract for next season.

With Cespedes out half of 2019, we'll need another glove and bat in the OF.

 

[mrdozo]

Rosario batting lead-off again for us today against Bumgarner and the Giants.

Rosario isnt ready to be a lead-off hitter.

Jeff McNeils our hottest hitter right now and he's #6 today and Conforto is #8.

todays lineup doesnt make any sense.

D. Wright needs to officially retire and pass the mantle of captain to Conforto.

I want Peter Alonso playing 1B full time. NOW

 

[d3si]

Jay Bruce's fielding cost deGrom the game

what about this play ?

https://www.mlb.com/mets/video/bruces-impressive-diving-stop/c-2437117383?tid=220294350

Looking forward to next season I wonder how much time Bruce will get at 1B and when Peter Alonso will get called up.

Ideally, 1B is where Wilmer Flores could get a lot of playing time cuz that guy can hit. But he cant run and his glove is sub-par. Im surprised an American League team hasnt offered a decent trade for Flores.

 

[d3si]

Ben Zobrist's single was supposed to be out. Heck, potential double play as well

Don't get me wrong. I like Bruce but he's been terrible this season

Yes, I was glad when we signed him again this past winter. This season is the worst of his career. Hopefully he can turn it around next season.

Bruce, Frazier and Cespedes underperforming and being injured most of the season really put an end to us.

 

[mrdozo]

question for the room....who are your top 10 mets ? (whom you've seen play)

My list ( in no particular order)

Rey Ordonez (guy was an acrobat and wizard)
Piazza
Reyes ( seeing him run out his triples and steal bases)
Cespedes (mammoth homeruns and throwing lazers from the outfield)
Beltran (did it both on the field and at the plate)
Delgado (his HR's were sky high and the lefty stance was stylish)
DeGrom
Nimmo
Granderson (made some great plays on defense)
Syndergaard

 

[d3si]

Robin Ventura
Edgardo Alfonzo
Piazza
Jose Reyes
Wright
Beltran
Cespedes
Wilmer Flores
deGrom
Dickey

Wright

Cespedes
Wilmer Flores
deGrom

great list.

Ordonez might be 1 of the greatest defensive SS ever. Thank goodness for Youtube. That infield was something else man.

 

[d3si]

Mets are quietly 17-11 in the last 28 games

Amed's finally showing his development process
Scooter is back
Nimmo snapped out of his slump
Noah finally got his first CG
deGoat
Wheeler has been phenomenal
McNeil's got smooth swing

 

[ballinsam23]

Too little too late

Of course

Just want to see good result from Wheeler, Rosario, Nimmo and Conforto

 

[mrdozo]

We need the rookies to perform since we won't be signing any big names this winter.

McNeil should be our long term answer for 2B from now on.

I like Rosario's hitting but he still isn't walking much.

 

[mrdozo]

Over the weekend fits

 

[d3si]

Sad to hear and happy for David that he will be able to have his closure in baseball now











We will definitely see Wright-Reyes on the field one last time
