Is Lindor Jason Bay 2.0? It's still early (it better be), but damn, he is lost.
― 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.

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.

God, just saw Pillar in the dugout tonight and cringed. Looks brutal and glad he seems ok (aside from nasal fractures).

this is a nice catch but i'm not sure it's enough to make up for being 0-for-5 with five strikeouts in your career

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+
More or less, that’s the slash line of his best batting season.

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!

I hope you’re right but I don’t think he is a lock just yet. David Wright was also on the verge of the Hall, but then injuries pretty much took it away.

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.

of course, each year the party gets just a little bit less valuable, in comparison to what that same party would have been like in the early 2000s

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.
― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 1 July 2021 16:19 (two years ago) link
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...".
Mets just need to embrace it and no matter what happens, 7/1 will ALWAYS be Bobby Bo day.

i'm curious what their motivation would be. would it save them any money, or are the embarrassed that it's become a thing every year? it cant be that much trouble sending the guy an etransfer every 12 months.

paying him off would cost them (a little extra) money

That last hit by Schrock it was like less than 2 steps to Baez' right. Not exactly Ozzie Smith range. He muffed an easy double play ball hit right at him the inning before.
Reds commentators were saying the Mets looked like they were playing a get away game today.
― earlnash, Sunday, 1 August 2021 22:46 (two years ago) link
Reds owed the Mets a series win, as they had not won one in NY since 2013. They only play them 2 series a year and seem to lose them all no matter how good or bad the Mets seem to be.
I know I saw twice in person Homer Bailey get shellacked by the Mets. That huge first basemen the Mets used to have hit a couple of homers in one game and it was like 100 degrees.

Stearns is totally running the show, gm would be second banana so not that essential as it would be in orgs where gm has a lot of power. this is why ng left miami, her gm role was demoted to secondary status.
