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

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.

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.

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

tbf mark kotsay was a pretty good player before he turned 30

but yeah you'd maybe like to aim higher with a #6 pick

I talked to Davey Johnson about baseball things and mostly kept it together. I can tell you that he is very smart and still holds Wally Backman in very high regard. https://t.co/DsBUzL8U5c

for the historical record

https://goodfundies.com/a-complete-history-of-media-reports-chronicling-the-wilpons-meddling-in-new-york-mets-baseball-6c0055acaa2

First time #Mets have had 7 hits in a game since June 2. It breaks franchise record 9-game streak with 6 hits or fewer. The previous record was 7 in 1992 and 1962.

— Wayne Randazzo (@WayneRandazzo) June 16, 2018

Most improbable win of the year? Down by 2 w/2 outs in the 9th, no one on, and Reyes/Bautista coming up. Somehow get 4 runs.

Nimmo is what we all strive to be internally. #benimmo

— Noah Syndergaard (@Noahsyndergaard) June 17, 2018

Nimmo w/ 2 HR and 4 hits tonight, up to .287/.410/.603

Watch as the Mets inch back toward .500 and con some into thinking they're a WC contender.

I’d prefer them to get back into some kind of contention, if only to shut down all the rampant DeGrom trade speculation.

Nimmo is a few games away from qualifying for league leading stats.

happy 30th to jacob degrom
