Painfully familiar: the New York Mets (RIP Morbs)

Alexa play ring the alarm by tenor saw

the dream is over

Despite all the current pitching (and winning) problems, it’s not like the people who left are doing much better. Walker and Bassitt haven’t been good so far, Degrom is on the IL again, and if you wanted to sign Rodon he’d also be on the shelf.

Correa’s current awful start would also not have been tolerated in NYC after all the hoopla surrounding his physical. Brett Baty is looking better and better each day.

Reds win series against the Mets, does not tend to happen often.

Brett Baty is looking better and better each day.

...would be much more accurate if this post was (nine days ago)

Baty's May has been grim.

on a 6-16 run

rotation is a disaster

basically only nimmo is playing well

Pete's been playing better offensively than Nimmo but your point stands... woof.

Verlander is also a bright spot and their bullpen despite losing Diaz has been surprisingly effective.

oof, I take it all back...

Thursday, June 1 at approximately 1pm ET – Ira will throw out the first pitch ahead of the New York @Mets vs Philadelphia @Phillies game at @CitiField. Photographic evidence to follow (or not, depending on how it goes.) pic.twitter.com/o5XtqIj2us

Alvarez doing what he's done at every level - take a short period to adjust, then mash.

this makes me a canha fanha

Noice

Mark Canha called out those Tampa Bay bullpen homophobes didn’t he? Between that and his food Instagram the man’s a king.

ok, that is great.

I saw the Canha post on a thread about non-homophobe platters and it is not a long list!

players

I was so confused given the food talk immediately prior.

Look at this fucking king showing up in his Pride shirt

"I'm just trying to have good at-bats, really not trying to do too much."

I he hit 33% of his RBIs this year in the last two games v. PHI!

i am also not trying to do too much

Can only imagine what Morbs' reaction would have been to the Mets-Braves series this week. Swept after leading each game by at least 3, yeesh.

it’s . . . amazin’

It's such a shame.

Side note: Verlander, oof. Plenty of season left but they didn’t pay him to cough up all those runs.

Alonso to IL, currently being blown out by the Pirates, and someone named Zach Muckenhirn is pitching.

letting ke'bryan hayes go 5-for-5 is a poor sign

i really like lindor but .222/.296/.431 is not ideal

21-36 since april 22; only oakland and kansas city have been worse

steve cohen is holding a press conference before wednesday's game. i cannot imagine that anything remotely good will come of it

The pitching has been really poor, especially when they have a big lead. When the pitching has been good they seem to be unable to get any hits lately.

i just have no idea what cohen's press conference will accomplish

is he gonna blame himself/his front office for giving all this guaranteed money to apparently shitty players? is he gonna blame the players for sucking? is he going to say that he believes in this group of players but they're just struggling at the moment?

the players already know they're underachieving; i don't see how -- even with the last option -- cohen talking publicly about it will help matters

it's gonna be deeply metsian when they finish behind the nationals, who aren't even trying

the worst team money could buy, part 2

“I didn’t get to finish ‘Oppenheimer’ that day,” said Mark Canha, the veteran outfielder who was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers late that afternoon.

I loved that quote. Was hoping for more from the article though.

yeah, not very juicy - but i read that as the disappointing performance this season was not a clubhouse issue or management issue - just bad luck, injuries, age. just baseball things.

Yeah it’s less juicy than the Padres collapse. Tommy Pham always seems like a dick even when they’re giving him the nicest personal interpretation. Guys are playing pool together? Who cares!

Also, interested to see that Alvarez is included in the leaders dinners!

alvarez is great, he gets so happy in the dugout when his teammates play well. also those gray eyes, that smile. my mets crush

I too love el troll, always looks high as fuck off the field and apparently makes a great lasagna

amazin'

I love it so much

baseball really is amazing

I hope someone got Alvarez safely to higher ground

Btw I don’t know if you follow the Mets Instagram (top 5 team Instagram imo!) but did you see this

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxJBnvyOrpu/

hah no i'm not really on insta but i guess i need to be. lol that tiny mic. last game i went to they were giving away big sexy shirts but they were out by the time i got there.

They do a lot of tiny mic questions, it’s elite tbh. Three more & then I’ll knock it off.
