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

incapable of winning a close game w/ garbage-fire bullpen

The #Mets are 5-6 in games started by Jacob deGrom. They are 2-0 in games started by P.J. Conlon.

Noah Syndergaard was examined today at The Hospital for Special Surgery for soreness in his right index finger. A MRI and clinical examination confirmed a strained ligament in the finger. Syndergaard will be placed on the 10-Day Disabled List, retroactive to May 26.

like i said

pure torture tonight!

icymi Flores is disabled too

I'm told the Mets are calling up pitchers Tim Peterson and Scott Copeland from Triple-A Las Vegas today. Neither is on the 40-man roster, so there's going to have to be some shuffling.

Citi Field was on fire just a little bit ago, according to the FDNY. One man on the scene caught video: https://t.co/JFFrQeYxwG

RIPJ

I attended a birthday party at last night's game, where 30,000 fans in Conforto giveaway jerseys got to witness him airmail a throw home.

Mickey has had enough!

deGrom has given up 3 runs since April 16.

he also leads all NL *players* in bWAR this year

Frazier, Swarzak activated

(crossing fingers for Reyes to be DFA'd)

foiled again

To make room for Frazier and Swarzak, the Mets optioned Gerson Bautista to Triple-A Las Vegas and designated yet another player for assignment -- this time, reliever Buddy Baumann.

Baumann wasn’t up to much. His second DFA this year I believe.

THE METS TODAY

HITS OF PITCHES: 4
HITS BY PITCHES: 3

Familia to the DL, will he return as closer?

thor sore, will not pitch sunday

saw a stat today that degrom has thrown 27 first-pitch curveballs this season . . . exactly one of which was called a ball

also

nimmmmmmooooooooo

he threw another first-pitch curve that missed tonight

Cespedes rehabbing in AA

have scored 3 runs in the last 51 innings

there was a loong rosenthal column on the mets and their current situation that i can post if you really want to know

anything we don't already know?

i was not really expecting him to reference dave matthews band lyrics

mets 2018: crash into me

also yeah post it! it’s behind the vc funded hot sports outlet of now’s paywall right?

Mets starting pitchers have a 2.16 ERA over the life of their eight-game losing streak.

— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) June 10, 2018

that might have been the worst double play turn of all time by reyes, wow. not even kidding

gets charged with 2 errors LOL

I have never sen that

fuck this team, call up tebow

That there is a reliever called Holder is fantastic (couldn’t be bothered to find the Yankees thread).

Awesome double play.

adrian g released, don smith up

also Ty Kelly up, Lobaton DFA'd

multiple signs of life :/

Surprised they let Adrian go before Reyes.

it's Reyes' birthday, so maybe tomorrow, I pray

They must be carefully planning his ticker tape parade.

I concur, I think

Thor finger sprain confirmed; rest prescribed

jose bautista is playing second base

two hits

glad when they lose before 3pm, now i am ready to restart the day

Assuming the Mets don't come back in the 9th, Jacob deGrom will be the first pitcher since Randy Johnson of the 1999 D-backs to make 5 straight starts of 7+ IP and ≤ 2 ER, and see his team lose each one.

— Andrew Simon (@AndrewSimonMLB) June 13, 2018

McNeil and Alonso were just promoted to AAA, as expected.

scored runs in multiple innings last night for the first time since June 1

baby steps

mets signed their first-round pick, high school OF jarred kelenic

pre-draft comp was 'Mark Kotsay w/more athleticism'

lmao i was clowning my mets loving friend for that. basically by saying he's like mark kotsay then doing the super sarcastic OOOOOOOHH! like 8 times

why does anyone hang out with me i wonder
