btw Trout visits Queens next August

arggggh fuck no, Mets are visiting Anaheim

life sucks

as McNeil goes to the IL

"It's absolutely our hope and expectation" that Jed Lowrie will play for the Mets this season, Brodie Van Wagenen said. Lowrie has overcome his left side issues, but is still nursing a right calf injury.

OK plz fire Callaway at the end of the season

the great analytics "debate" among players, managers, and broadcasters continues

JED LOWRIE will designatedly hit for st. lucie tonight

Nimmo also in AAA. Mcneil likely back this weekend. Roster may get a bit crowded soon!

Prior to Tuesday's game, the Mets called up Rajai Davis and optioned Walker Lockett.

Robert Gsellman has a partial lat tear and may be done for the 2019 season.

hand got rattled, mets pull out another 1

This is quite a run they are on, lots of fun to watch. JD Davis postgame interview was A+ /pure energy.

has anyone offered an explanation of why JD doesn't suck anymore?

i don't think he ever did? he got 113 plate appearances last year over four separate big league stints, which is a tough situation for most anyone

that said, he almost has to hit this well to offset his defense -- a perfect met

fair point on the 4 stints, but when they got him i looked at the stats and just thought "someone the Astros couldn't fix". i guess they didn't try hard enough.

i think it's less that they didn't try than that they're so loaded there was no room for him

they also gave up on a.j. reed, but i don't think he's gonna make a comeback. not really a good sign when you're a two-time minor league homer champ

Tejada DFA'd, that was fast.

538: the mets are the most average team in baseball

there is a job listing open for a copy ed at 538

i will now apply and redline that shit

nice thing about being in the 14th is that Edwin Diaz has come and gone

DON'T HURRY BACK

Callaway said "it's really hard to say" if Edwin Diaz's trap tightness is something that could land him on the injured list.

Diaz was far more upbeat about the issue, saying he's not worried about it and doesn't consider it serious at all.

I'll be at the game tonight. Need 86 wins for a WC, I think. Important to go 8-4 in the next 12.

At least you got to see Alonso’s 42nd.

didn't even see the swing

#Mets dismissing Jim D’Aloia, their director of pro scouting for the past eight seasons, sources tell The Athletic. Will remain with club through end of contact on Oct. 31. D’Aloia was a college teammate of former NYM executive J.P. Ricciardi.

Thor doesn't work well in storms howbout that

Christ, their defense sucks

yr man ron swoboda has been triple-a new orleans' color guy for the last 25 years -- this is his final weekend, as the team is moving to wichita

rip

Nimmo back. Maybe Cano and Lowrie later this week?

In hindsight, looks like Mets lucked out in signing Ramos instead of Grandal.

How?

Way higher batting average, same amount of RBIs for a cheaper price? Grandal does have more power though.

And better OBP, and much much better defense. He is twice the price for three times the value.

Marginally better OBP? My memory of his defense is definitely clouded by his postseason performance last year though.

What I'm saying is that a higher average is null if the other player both has a higher OBP and slugging.

Grandal has been excellent this season at defensive catching (he always is).
