PECOTA loves the 2019 NEW YORK METS

it's Font

going tomorrow night for the first time this year; not looking forward to many more

rosenthal this morning basically called on mickey to be fired and replaced by a veteran like dusty or scioscia

i don't think it's mickey's fault that the entire rotation is pitching below league average or that cano is being out-hit by amed rosario, but i guess he does seem in over his head

Yoenis Cespedes was in an accident at his ranch. Ankle fracture.

oh

excited to see if the mets try to void his contract over this

it'd be worth a try.

Good news, at least, on Michael Conforto (concussion), who has been symptom-free for the last three days. The Mets were awaiting word from their medical team on Monday afternoon regarding what sorts of activities Conforto can start to do, and when.

btw this ought to make all the snarling old men happy

Mickey Callaway said Robinson Canó is on the bench today in part because of his lack of hustle over the weekend.

"He understands that it's unacceptable to not run balls out," Callaway said. "He understands that he needs to do that at all times."

only 4 and a half left years left on the cano contract

oh, the horror

not seeing a long-term problem. yet.

well I’m going to Citi Field on Friday as a casual observer

it sounds like fun right now, *cough*

fangraphs and the ringer both have stories about how shitty the mets are today

also apparently todd frazier and adam eaton have a feud? this is delightful news

Michael Baumann in The Ringer piece:

"to a certain extent this is just a decent team in a rough patch that happens to play in the rubber-walled confines of the New York media bubble"

Interesting definition of "shitty" (and Baumann hates NYC with every fiber of his being)

We all know the Wilpons are demons, but so are most pro sports owners.

that was quite the seesaw battle last night

can't believe this team lets Adeiny bat in a 9th-inning tie tho

RAJAI!

joining Nimmo

Canó down. McNeil down. Two more key Mets to the injured list:https://t.co/88hdJtV2PH

— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) May 23, 2019

O joy, i guess Adeiny is the 2B for now

Lacking outfield depth, the Mets just claimed Aaron Altherr off waivers from the Giants. He'll presumably be active tomorrow night against the Tigers.

— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) May 23, 2019

he's 1-for-31 this season. but hey, at least it was a double

GOGOGOMEZ

Altherr will only be around til Conforto is activated phaps

now with added ervin santana

Jesus, i don't even want to look at the numbers

it's a minor league deal, mook, don't do that to me

and...

When Matt Kemp's signing becomes official, he will report to Triple-A Syracuse, source says.

The Mets are trying to catch lightning in a bottle with the 34-year-old outfielder:https://t.co/lkgIE8GPkd

Adeiny with a 3-run homer? Who needs Matt Kemp?

BadGirlRihRih sure don't

mets radio update: howie rose just learned the word "cosplay."

— jesse jarnow (@bourgwick) May 25, 2019

Ah yes, our clutch home run hitters: Carlos Gomez, Rajai Davis, Aaron Altherr, Adeiny Hecchavaria, and now Tomas Nido.

Brandon Nimmo is suffering from a bulging disc in his neck and whiplash. As of now, his timetable remains unknown.

Polar Bear Pete for ROY?

Diaz coughs one up

apparently mets twitter spent the morning freaking out about jarred kelenic

is that the guy Seattle got?

yeah

Callaway pulled Thor and second-guessed himself after the game. Sounds done.

José Reyes & Rubén Gotay

Aug. 26, 2016:
José Reyes & Asdrubal Cabrera

June 6, 2019:
