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

Mesoraco has been a good pickup so far though

consecutive wins, hallelujah

dom smith in the outfield seems like an amazingly bad idea -- but he did throw someone out (at second) tonight!

i’m sorry i doubted you, amed

didn't sweep a series all last year

First *home* sweep since 2016, they did have some road sweeps last year.

The way he is going, Gsellman could be a potential closer next year if Familia leaves. It’s not like they will be many other options.

mea culpa

A friend and I cancelled going tonight solely cuz Vargas is pitching.

i'm hoping we can point and laugh at this Mickey quote in ten days or so

Jose Reyes is batting .132/.179/.189 in 31 games, including a 2-for-22 funk this month.

Mickey Callaway says Reyes' roster spot is not his decision, but adds: "I think there's more baseball left in Jose. As far as I'm concerned, Jose is a big part of this team." #Mets

of course Vargas set the first nine down

The Mets' update on Yoenis Cespedes (strained right hip flexor) is simply: "Continues rehab in New York."

Mickey Callaway seemed taken aback yesterday when asked about Cespedes, whom the Mets hesitated to put on the DL. Cespedes has refused to talk to media for 15 straight days.

joey kings, meet joey bats

:/

btw mook, every time i see you've bumped this thread i'm terrified

haha sorry

Bautista doubles and scores in first Mets PA

In the opinion of the demure young lady sitting behind me in Section 136 tonight, "Familia sucks fuckin' dick."

nimmmmmmmoooooooo

Bats ties it in the 9th!

Go Mets

happy 2 year anniversary of david wrights last ab :(

his three-game homer streak is still active

they fucking suck

season over

Degrom, on the other hand, is unbelievable. Opponents are now 0 for their last 29 against him with RISP.

Opponents now 0-for-last-28 against deGrom with RISP. By run expectancy, he should have allowed 14 runs in those spots. He has yielded zero.

Drizzle delay aside, Jacob deGrom gets through seven innings today in Atlanta. One run. He has allowed two runs in his last 40.1 IP.

Put another way, deGrom has a 0.45 ERA in his last seven starts. #Mets

morbs otm

Ugggghh.

Have to hand it to this team for continuing to give their fanbase the emotional turmoil they expect, but in new unexpected ways.

are you not entertained?

(maybe best not to answer that)

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.

fan went postal?

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!

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-sports-callaway-conforto-20180602-story.html

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.

— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) June 5, 2018

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
