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

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.

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.

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