PECOTA loves the 2019 NEW YORK METS

it brought home to me that Sandy Koufax is 83

Pete with 26th

Howie Rose is such a reactionary fuck btw

wishes the umps could get their "imperial power" restored w/ abolition of replay review

Mickey Callaway told a reporter to leave the clubhouse, calling the reporter a motherfu**er multiple times.

"Don't be a smartass, motherfu**er*," Callaway said.

Jason Vargas, defending his manager, said "I'll knock you the f**k out, bro."

apparently this was set off by the reporter saying, 'see you tomorrow, mickey'

well, even before that, asking him why he didn't bring in Diaz for 5 outs.

Tom Seaver's children and grandchildren will be on hand this Thursday for the official renaming of Citi Field's address to 41 Seaver Way. Jerry Koosman, Ron Swoboda and Cleon Jones will also be present for the ceremony.

shit -- had no idea he had dementia

it was pretty big news the day the family announced it

Pete Alonso's 27th HR broke the record for rookie season homeruns for the Mets. Who was the previous record-holder?

Darryl Strawberry

on pace to knock Judge from the top of the rookie HR heap

The National League Player of the Week for June 17-23 is Mets first baseman Pete Alonso. He hit .417/.548/1.042 with four home runs (traveling a projected 1,708 feet!) in seven games.

this other guy

Jason Vargas had a comment that lasted 20 seconds, including referring to his threat to fight a beat reporter as a distraction and an unfortunate incident.

He stepped away before media could question him. Effectively, Vargas remained unaccountable for his actions.

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway and pitcher Jason Vargas have been fined by the team following a confrontation with a reporter in the clubhouse Sunday.

even allowing for the stickball atmosphere in Philly, Matz is a mess

at least mickey got five outs out of brooks pounders

hey Thor pitches in Coney tonight

pelkey: How can this be the Mets’ reality year after year?

Meg Rowley: The Mets are a mess. They are total, weird, could come out of a TV writers room mess. They were also in the World Series so recently! Just very, very recently.

I mean, the answer is, they have very bad ownership, and it is pretty wild that that ownership has been allowed to persist, and make weird hires, and allow this culture to hang around.

But also, just so recently in the World Series. They’re a mess. Other teams are tragedies.

thor's game is on the road (which is kinda weird because both binghamton and syracuse are at home)

oh, glad i'm not goin then

maybe thor's still pissed about having to go to syracuse between spring training and opening day in DC

Counting tonight, the Mets' bullpen ERA in June is 7.67. That's by far the highest in MLB.

MOST PREDICTABLE NIGHTLY LATE-GAME DISASTERS I'VE EVER SEEN

season over

sell

hey, you almost made it to july with hope

I;m going to guess Riggleman replaces Callaway on one of the off days next week, Monday or Thursday.

Of course, it could be Jack McKeon. Or the Jeopardy! guy.

first reply is good

The Mets have officially announced plans for a Tom Seaver statue in front of Citi Field. It's going to be eight feel tall.

— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) June 27, 2019

oh, mets

of course of course

probly just as well Seaver isnt seeing this

oh no

Diaz, just another meatballer

The Mets' peak win probabilities for these four games in Philadelphia:

MON: 68.2 percent
TUES: 86.1 percent
WED: 95 percent
THRS: 92.6 percent

They went 0-4.

what's going with the pope's teeth^ these days?

keep fuckin' Fatcesa out of this thread, plz

The graph on the left is Robinson Cano's xSLG by year, since 2015.

The graph on the right is Edwin Diaz's xSLG by year, since 2015.

It seems quite clear that the Mets bought high on both, and are suffering the regression now. pic.twitter.com/ftniWetgnS

— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) June 27, 2019

they bought high on diaz, but he's still only 25, decent at worst, and cheap

cano is a disaster to the point where one wonders if it was the juice all along

xp I thought you would appreciate the commiseration

that guy knows less about baseball than my mom did

There are more prospects that the Mets traded for Edwin Diaz than there are actual Mets prospects in this year’s Futures Game.

This is cool. For the Mets' 1969 reunion weekend, they redid their scoreboard graphics to mimic the old Shea Stadium board. Pennants are also painted onto the field. pic.twitter.com/pq0vYCC55P

too bad the Marlins exist, Alonso might set the record for HR with a last-place team (Kiner?)

who was the last rookie to lead the leagues in HR?

Anyone since McGwire in '87?

Judge, 2017 (52 HRs)

how soon we forget
