Tonight he got out of that bases loaded jam (which was fortunate, ball made it to the warning track). I'm more concerned that he stays healthy and so far so good this year. But what do we do with Nimmo? A year ago I had written him off as a career minor leaguer but I'm becoming a convert. Problem is we already have too many left handed bats in the outfield. No way I'm giving up on Conforto but Nimmo's been the better player this year IMO. And this team needs Bruce to be Bruce. I get that A-Gon is an obvious target but the thought of Bruce at first frightens me. Regardless, nice bounce back road win after a tough home loss the night before. It's been a good seven days after a rough stretch. Let's Go Mets! Maybe it's just me but I see Conforto being satisfied with getting a walk,once again,he's missing putting the wood onto the ball when he gets that low pitch...he's second guessing himself for unknown reasons..slap it and put it into the opposite field is something that comes easy for him...if you noticed Gonz has been chatting with him on the bench a lot...I hope he isn't putting garbage in his head ...meaning "be a power hitter". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 As much as I profess not to be a stats guy, I do like a good stat and SNY posted this before the game tonight. Mets pitchers ERA with Mesoraco behind the plate < 2.00 without > 4.00. Of course he never had to catch Harvey ? and I assume not Vargas. And on a personal note, looks like I'll be attending a Mets game up at Fenway in September with some friends from college. Maybe we'll bring in Hanley Ramirez for an Omir Santos moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to see who fellow Bills fans pulled in terms of baseball. Know the Jays are close but are aware of the Sabres/Leafs rivalry. Born and raised in Flushing, so I was a Mets fan at birth. We followed baseball from diapers, but my friends and I didn't really get into football till we were about 10. By then, those lackeys were Jets fans and I refused to root for a team that played in freaking Jersey. So I pledged my loyalty to the true NFL team of my birth state and have been absolutely miserable ever since. Silver lining is that my friends have been absolutely miserable, too. ?

I felt the same way about Harvey when he and his agent pulled that diva crap a couple of years ago before the playoffs. Pure elation the day he was traded, though it was bittersweet knowing they could have received significantly greater compensation had they traded him before the start of the 2016 season.

Misterbluesky Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Gentleman...I need to get something off my chest.In late April,with all of my heart,I really felt we had a playoff caliber team. We have to face the facts now..we are a aged team...aged bodies mean more injuries throughout the dog days of the summer. I hate to say this...but I believe we have to sell the over priced former talent to the contenders.My opinion is a tough pill to swallow..I know that. But look at teams like the Astros and Braves. I say rebuild..it will take 3 years to do it..but isn't it worth it???? You fellas said you peace about Familia..I feel differently,but if we can get some rock solid double A talent for him..let Sandy pull the trigger.Expect some changes by the deadline... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not just losing games for us, he's burning out the bullpen. Hard to believe but Harvey was probably better. Honestly, Vargas needs to go the pen and come in for blowouts basically. I think the logical option is Gsellman to the starting rotation since lugo is way too dominant in the pen to be taken out of it. There is is no way sandy thinks these guys can get the job done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You fellas said you peace about Familia..I feel differently,but if we can get some rock solid double A talent for him..let Sandy pull the trigger.Expect some changes by the deadline... A talk radio topic earlier this week was whether the Mets would/could/should consider moving DeGrom and/or Thor if things don't improve. I don't get that line of thinking at all. I'm not ready to blow the team up and start over. We're still over .500, there's a long way to go, we have two top flight pitchers and a closer who's had success (not getting where you stand on him Blue, but I think he'd have trade deadline value). Some thoughts on the team, sorry for the long post, I'm frustrated too. STARTING PITCHING: Murica suggested (with good reason) to put Gsellman in the rotation over Lugo, but I'd go the opposite way. Lugo looks more like a starter to me. But at this point maybe move Vargas AND Wheeler to the bullpen. Matz doesn't look like bullpen material to me, so sink or swim with him. RELIEF PITCHING: Say a prayer. CATCHING: It's early but I'm hopeful about Mesoraco. OUTFIELD: raise your hand if you're happy Ces isn't on a long term deal. Outstanding player when he's on the field, but leg muscle issues? WTF? If Bruce goes on a tear things will get better. I still like Conforto and as I said recently Nimmo has shown more than I expected, just don't know how he gets more playing time. Might need to have Bruce slip on a banana peel. INFIELD: Rosario's been average but shown enough to keep me hopeful. Cabrera has been a great Met when healthy. A-Gon and Frazier are caretakers - we need the outfield to produce more to get by with them. I don't think this team is good enough to bring Alonso up from AA.

I think it's too early to throw in the towel. We do not look good now, but we're not out of it, mathematically speaking. However ... once/if it's apparent that we're done, then yes ... tank. Get rid of some talent for prospects and rebuild. Scorched earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not done on this year but agree with you. Look at the Phillies now, for years they still kept the core of the 08' championship team. Then recently they finally blew it up. They were last place for a while but are set up nicely for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 This team is just a mental midget. They’ve been getting multiple run leads this entire series and can’t hold them. I’m really getting fed up with the decisions Mickey is making. Takes Gsellman out to bring Blevins who hasn’t been reliable at all this year. Could’ve had Gsellman, Lugo, and Familia pitch but Mickey, and Eiland are pitching “gurus” & know better. I know they have a double header and probably need lugo to start one game but we needed to salvage this series as a split and should’ve been coaching for today not for this upcoming week.
