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

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

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.

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

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

jay bruce to the 10-day DL

nimmmmmoooooooo

Brandon Nimmo finally has enough PAs to qualify for NL leaderboards, which now look like this:

OBP:
Votto, .426
Freeman, .420
Nimmo, .407

SLG:
Nimmo, .585
Freeman, .579
Suarez, .571

wOBA:
Nimmo, .421
Freeman, .418
Arenado, .408

wRC+:
Nimmo, 172
Freeman, 166
Belt, 157

hansel robles, dfa

wow, had no idea degrom was that old

yeah it's kind of a bummer because he won't make anywhere near the money he deserves. relatively speaking, of course, i mean he'll be fine

The Mets say X-rays were negative on Brandon Nimmo's right hand. He departed today's game with a sore pinkie finger.

citi field: launching pad

I see Reyes went 0-for-5 at SHORTSTOP today. Is Rosario hurt now?

Think they were just giving him a mental day or two off.

BREAKING: Sandy Alderson is taking an immediate leave of absence from his Mets general manager duties to address his personal health. John Ricco, J.P. Ricciardi and Omar Minaya will split the role in his absence.

oh the jokes

The New York blood center recently declared a blood emergency due to shortages in supply. As a result, the Mets will hold a blood drive July 2 at Citi Field, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Donate blood, receive two tickets to a 2018 Mets game.

Major League Baseball announced today that Commissioner Robert D. Manfred, Jr. has ruled on New York Mets pitcher Jenrry Mejia’s application for reinstatement from his permanent suspension under Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program (announced on February 12, 2016). Mejia will be allowed to resume participation in non-public workouts at Mets’ facilities following the 2018 All-Star break and will be eligible for a rehabilitation assignment with a Mets’ affiliate in mid-August. Provided that Mejia complies with certain conditions established by the Office of the Commissioner and agreed to by Mejia and the Players Association, Mejia will be reinstated from the Restricted List and will be eligible to resume all baseball activities beginning with 2019 Spring Training.

TJ Rivera back up in a rehab start for St Lucie tonight.

watching deGrom games is just torture, and i'm quitting now

walk off grand slam though!
