― Deicide at Chuck E. Cheese (PBKR), Monday, 17 May 2021 23:46 (two years ago) link
He's walking a good amount and not striking out much. He rates pretty well in exit velocity and barrels. I think he'll figure it out but it's definitely been rough.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 18 May 2021 00:23 (two years ago) link
I also feel there is something about coming to the NY market that is a shift. But yeah, he hasn't hit well so far. His defense has been good though.

i love lindor and even tho he's a met i still have a hard time rooting for him to fail, but his slash numbers have been pretty concerning for a bit now even dating back to last season. his SLG percentage has fallen off a cliff and if he's not providing elite power at that position he's kinda just... a high AVG/low OBP shortstop getting into his 30s... it feels pretty dicey to me longterm. they really need him to be an MVP level player for the next 4-5 years because the back half of that contract is gonna be ugly given the type of player he is

Over the last ten games he is batting .278/.341/.500, 132 wrc+

deGrom needs his own thread:

He is 9-for-20 at the plate this season, and he’s allowed only 22 hits in 51 innings on the mound. Put it another way:

deGrom is going to do what Kluber and Donaldson looked like they might do (but almost certainly won't now): get into the HOF on an astounding peak value after the age of 27.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 1 June 2021 15:23 (two years ago) link
He still needs to play 3 more years to be eligible, and may need a Cy young / no hitter / post season heroics along the way to really seal the deal. But he is definitely on the path.
― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 1 June 2021 15:50 (two years ago) link
You think he needs another cy young?! He could tread water the next three years and I think he’d skate into the hall no problem. I don’t like his odds of playoffs heroics with the Mets!

How about “From the perspective of a person living in 2021, Jacob DeGrom seems like he has a good shot at the hall of fame, if his arm doesn’t explode. He’s 33.”?

That's not long enough. Maybe "The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton and from the Perspective of a Person Living in 2021, Who Feels Like Jacob DeGrom Has a Good Shot at the Hall of Fame if His Arm Doesn’t Explode.

Despite the injuries, this team seems pretty tight-knit. I don’t think I’ve seen teammates tagging and cheering each other on through social media as much as this year. Would love to see some more consistent hitting, but otherwise this year has been better than expected so far.

The rumor they were talking on sports talk news this afternoon was that the Mets were considering just paying Bobby Bo off, which to that I "BOOOOOO...".
