Game gets tied on a little league play The pitcher appealing a suspension stemming from the team he is facing melts down and blows a late lead on a walk (as a Met fan that was delicious) The Mets closer gives up an apparent game tying HR (as a Met fan this was not tasty at all) - only to have it over-turned on review . BTW, I hate review but this is why we have it. Now if only Lindor could get a hit in a big spot - he had 3 chances tonight Expand Yeah, I'll take the W, but that was a rollercoaster. Nice to see Alonso and Conforto remember how to hit. Lindor will get there. Quote

I've heard nothing but positive things about Chili Davis since he's been here. This has the stench of an analytics-based decision - or maybe Lindor didn't get along with him. I'll be interested to see if the players have anything to say. On the surface I don't like the move. And how about this quote from our GM (https://nypost.com/2021/05/04/mets-fire-hitting-coaches-chili-davis-tom-slater/) “This was a really difficult decision to make, but the reason we felt like it was the right decision was based on a vision for what we want our major league hitting program to be,” Scott said. “There are certain things, the process under the hood is what’s important. It’s not about results.” Wtf? It's all about results. Quote

My guess is that Davis was put on notice before the season started - as he should have been. It's tough to blame the hitting coach, but we both know that's how it works. Lindor better get his head out of his ass soon. 1 Quote

Expand There are two types of opening day in sports. 1. Football season. It doesn't get any better than this 2. Everything else. The Mets on paper have a good team but I think they could use more pitching. A 3rd starter behind the big 2 and relief pitching. Quote

Bray Wyatt Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 I know its not official, but with the Olson trade yesterday, Freddie is basically gone, it will be tough to see him play in another jersey 1 Quote
Nineforty Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 I hear ya Bray. I quickly pivoted to "eff him" mode if he signs with LA. My friend is still sending me sad face texts only lol... Obviously will love 'em for what he has done, but as a fan, I'm super excited for Olson and ready to turn on Freddie (in a non-toxic way of course). I'm sure its just a defense mechanism in my stupid brain Quote

I hope we didn’t sign him, he always gave us a chance late in games against the Mets 😁 edit: I think I just saw he signed with the Phillies so good for both the Mets and Braves Edited March 16, 2022 by Bray Wyatt Quote
