And just even try to tell me any of your soot-ridden, flatulent shitholes you suffer through 9 innings at is anything like Dodger Stadium at a brilliant sunset. Giants??? Oh, c'mon, your old-school fans are legit, heart-broken, misguided and mildly lovable, but the new crop are 99 and 44/100ths dbags. **** the Metropolonitas, and *** the Barry Bondses Enjoy the season, you hapless losers-to-be. to note- I'm not too happy about losing to Kenley on the Braves tonight.

SinceThe70s Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Fun start, 12-5 with Jake on the shelf. There's a lot to like about this team, but concerns as well. Biggest concern for me is the closer. Not sure I can trust him to close out a post season series - or who would be a better/available option. As an aside, Buck's scowl every time a Met gets HBP has become a thing in my household. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, Buck's scowl every time a Met gets HBP has become a thing in my household. Good times. Very happy with starting pitching, situational hitting and aggressive/smart baserunning. Defense has been solid, too. So far (albeit very early), they're the 4th best defensive team in the league. Love that Lindor is having a nice April, which was definitely NOT the case last year. I don't know what it is, but I always go into the season believing in Diaz and this season is no different. I think he's his own worse enemy. So far, so good. The HBP thing is insane to me. They are currently averaging .82 hit batsmen/game. I've never seen anything like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 What a game last night, eh, fellas?!?! Zero runs in support of another gem by Scherzer. Then May gives up 2, but the Mets took advantage of a rare throwing error by Arenado and end up putting up a 5-spot in the 9th! Great win, but Trevor May needs to be better. Diaz did a nice job getting the save. #LFGM! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaz did a nice job getting the save. #LFGM! As unusual as it is for Arenado to make a throwing error it's a good example of why putting the ball in play is better than striking out. That's obvious to most baseball fans but apparently less obvious to the modern day hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hopeful that baseball eventually gets back to the fundamentals and we see fewer "HR or K" type hitters. Each year, Alonso seems to be getting better at it and I like the way he's started off in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the single season HR record is still 61 ... and the all-time HR record is 755. When one Mets pitcher records every out of a game without giving up a hit, then the drought will end. Johan Santana gave up a clear hit that was erroneously called foul; and an army of pitchers working together to hold their opponent to zero hits is great ... but it's not a no-hitter in the traditional sense of the term. I love you. Goodbye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The immediate prescription is for Trevor to discontinue throwing for approximately four weeks and then reimage the area," the Mets said on Wednesday.
