The Interesting 2018 New York Mets (Who Will Probably Fall Into a Pile of Scorpions Again)

Yeah, felt like that 8th inning comeback helped neutralized the 8th inning collapse from 2 days ago.

Guys Harvey is a starter. He gets ppl out in the 5th and 6th inning.

maybe he could get MLB to start the games in the 5th

pretty good game going on here. anyone else watching?

yeah, good game! although lol on Matheny's desperation challenge that Bruce missed first base on his home run.

Cespedes, 21 games in, is batting under .200, but is still averaging 1 RBI a game.

the darkest of knights

Matt Harvey laughed audibly when approached by reporters today seeking comment about his bullpen debut. "No chance. Zero chance," he said.

Harvey was asked why. "I have nothing to say to you guys," he said.

He was asked why not. "I dont [expletive] want to," Harvey replied.

he doesn't seem to be very happy about his new role

i hope he breaks his foot in a nightclub very soon

gloves remain a problem

Dom Smith may have competition

they seem to be playing an unusual number of blowouts (both W and L)

Matt Harvey was partying in LA the night before he had a wobbly time coming out of the bullpen for the Mets in San Diego, sources told Page Six.

Harvey attended the Thursday opening of hot Avra Beverly Hills, where guests included Halle Berry, Cindy Crawford, Ellen Pompeo and Selma Blair.

But a spy told us that Harvey was “out at the Avra opening stumbling around . . . He had to sit down at one point. He must have been so desperate to party, he came up from San Diego.”

Another guest said that among so many stars, “Nobody knew who Matt was,” but, “he was sober.”

Harvey — who’s been relegated to the bullpen — has gotten into hot water in the past for partying when he should’ve been prepping.

Harvey suddenly being a teetotaler but ALSO still partying every night is the kind of shocking twist that would fit into the Mets Canon

Was Alderson upset about Page Six report on Harvey? “Usually I get upset if a report is unexpected. I guess the short answer is no.”

That’s cold.

im going tonight, try to hex Acuna

Your hex hit the wrong guy. DeGrom out after 4 IP, back tightness apparently.

ooh, no, hyperextended elbow

On a swing. Let's add the DH.

And i was wearing my deGrom jersey.

shut up, Sinatra

no sense of foreboding here at all!

UPDATE: Jacob deGrom's MRI revealed no ligament damage. He's going to try to start Monday. #Mets

It really was a wide zone last night, and Newcomb lived on those edges.

well, i couldn't tell from Section 517.

Really hope DeGrom turns out to be fine! I feel he’s a cy young contender this year for sure.

The Mets are toying with fans' emotions.

Boos as Jason Vargas allows yet another hit.

Cheers as Mickey Callaway comes to take Vargas out of the game.

Boos when Matt Harvey is the first man out of the bullpen.

I had no idea this was Vargas' second stint as a Met

Seems like deGrom is fine.

Very glad I went last night and not today.

Time to cut bait on Harvey. No upside.

Mets to Sign Cody Asche, A Man Who Has Been Above Replacement-Level in One of His Five Seasons, And That One Was in 2014

Just a minor league deal though.

he's probably not worse than reyes anyway

Mets DFA Matt Harvey. Asked him to go to minors and he refused.

HALLELUJAH! I may also have a job, but I'm more excited about this.

niiice. congrats, morbs :)

Wow. Kind of had to happen though. The relationship was getting toxic, to say the least. Not to mention the pitching was just not there.

I understand the sudden happiness but the broader picture is quite sad. I don't want any of those 2 injuries to happen to any baseball player.

It'll be good for Matt to get out of New York and turn the page

A lot of Mets inside dirt is going to come out if and when Harvey signs with another team.

The Harvey outside dirt is enough for me.

Good grief, Wheeler gives up 5 runs in the first before getting 2 outs.

I am there now with the Redds, sitting right behind home plate, albeit way up in the cheap seats, with my gimme Bruuuce! shirt on.

deGrom retroactively to DL, planned to start in Philly next Sunday

Mets will do the right thing after all else has been tried

The Mets batted out of order, and as a result forfeited a man in scoring position in the first inning. I've never seen that before in a professional baseball game.

bold move. i love it.

M! T! E! S!

ya gotta bottom out before you can rise

and losing a series to the Reds is it

i can only imagine if willie randolph, the second-best mets manager of all time by winning pct, had batted out of order
