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

I agree user @ jonh 1:18 it’s time for David to stop

If they put Montero on waivers, would anyone else want him? Same with Robles. Kind of feel the Mets should risk it, it seems like every other pitcher in the running has been better/more auspicious than them this spring.

wouldn't really call that a 'risk'. he's 27 and terrible and there's nothing to be gained by wasting a 25-man roster spot on him in the hopes that he someday figures it out

orioles are getting degrominated

Jason Vargas has a fracture in his glove hand after taking a comebacker. Rub dirt on it.

Vargas on DL could mean first-ever rotation turn for the Golden Five

Montero has torn his UCL and will be out all year, so I guess that answers that nagging question for now.

Citi fare this year includes Nas-backed fried chicken & waffles

icymi, Zack Wheeler was optioned to Vegas; Seth Lugo in the opening rotation.

Phillip Evans made the roster as a utility infielder.

Happy Opening Day, I just saw a guy walking through Penn Station in a Mets jersey with SAVAGE 69 on the back

Swarzak to DL, Robles up

5 scoreless innings from Harvey, hot-cha

that facebook live thing is a load of crock (i don’t use facebook + the game is blackedout on mlb.tv from Canada).

it's blacked out everywhere, fwiw

Conforto leading off vs Strasburg

I was not expecting a sweep of the Nats.

Mets' MLB bullpen ranks (out of 30):

ERA: 1.31 (2nd)
Saves: 5 (1st)
AVG against: .160 (1st)
OBP against: .265 (4th)
SLG against: .252 (5th)
K/9: 10.75 (3rd)
WHIP: 1.02 (5th)

Post-season odds are now in the low 60s %.

Wheeler spot-starts on Wed; the Golden Five!

https://www.mlb.com/mets/news/zack-wheeler-starting-for-mets-on-wednesday/c-271392572

Super enjoying this team so far. Lugo and Gsellman in the bullpen has been quite a weapon. Can't wait to see more of Rosario (despite the wild free swinging) & Nimmo.

the mets have traded (former pirate great) lee mazzilli's son to the yankees

9-1, an unprecedented start in franchise history

85 wins if they go .500 the rest of the season.

FREE NIMMO

Bruce was taking some 1B practice tonight. Tough to find time for 5 healthy outfielders who have all been very productive so far.

10-1, but on the scorpions side, d'Arnaud may need TJ

http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/23118017/new-york-mets-place-catcher-travis-darnaud-disabled-list-ucl-tear

Mets 10, scorpions 1

really need to acquire another catcher, i think

keep your pants on fellas

Mets fans always do til a clinching orgy.

nido's probably as good/better than any of the random backup catchers they could painlessly acquire

unless you *really* want chris stewart or erik kratz, i mean. (i already know you want recker)

xp ew

as i was saying

https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/free-brandon-nimmo

This is the first time I find myself actively wishing there was a DH in the NL, just so Nimmo could bat more.

You know lots more about Nido than i do, mook, but i'm already thinking ahead to a backup to Nido.

welp . . . plawecki has a broken hand now, so yeah

oh Christ

as Casey said you need a catcher, or passed balls

also im trying to get a ticket for tonight and the fuckers won't let you do will-call with the discount thing

forgot abt Jose Lobaton

TBF Darryl Strawberry sounds like a JK Rowling character name

and would presumably be a hufflepuff

I always wondered why Lastings Milledge showed up in Half-Blood Prince.

Baseball Prospectus writer @pizzacutter4 announces that the Mets' front office has hired him in a to-be-defined role. He joins assistant general manager Adam Guttridge, also an analytics expert, in coming from somewhere other than a rival front office.
