Met Count, 2015

Gwreck Mar 30 2015 06:29 AM Re: Met Count, 2015

The only thing I see really keeping the Mets from hitting 1000 this year is the extremely low number of new faces on the opening day roster. I see Cuddyer, Mayberry and maybe 2 relievers as the only new Mets at the start of the year. Also, this list has Mike DeJean as debuting on December 20, 2004 (I think it should be July) Damion Easley is listed as debuting April 30, 2007 which I think is also not right. (He was on the roster at the start of the season and wasn't on the DL, if I recall correctly)

Edgy MD Mar 30 2015 06:33 AM Re: Met Count, 2015

Wow, good catch. Thanks.

Frayed Knot Mar 30 2015 06:45 AM Re: Met Count, 2015

Via a quick glance, it looks like you have to go back to 1991 to find a season [u:1i12rvrd]Without[/u:1i12rvrd] at least 16 new players.

Benjamin Grimm Mar 30 2015 06:56 AM Re: Met Count, 2015

It really amazes me how few there were in 1988. It looks like there might be four or five new Mets in the first few days of the season: Cuddyer, Mayberry, Muno or Reynolds, and, as Gwreck said, one or two relievers. My guess is that number 1,000 will come sometime around August 1.

Edgy MD Mar 30 2015 07:22 AM Re: Met Count, 2015

1988 was a lot like this year, in that the new acquisitions they were banking on were guys returning from missing all or part of the year with injuries and suspensions. At least at the top. Whether they'll have to re-load once or twice during the season remains to be seen.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 11 2015 06:04 AM Re: Met Count, 2015

The Mets should totally lure Derek Jeter out of retirement just for one day so that he can have the honor of being the 1000th Met. I'm sure everyone here would agree with that!

990. Danny Muno

Edgy MD Apr 18 2015 08:58 AM Re: Met Count, 2015

Casey's reached the top 10. This is getting exciting and frightening all at the same time. I'm a little surprised the Mets aren't hammering this story.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2015 07:03 AM Re: Met Count, 2015

Lousy loss aside, entering with two on and none out, giving up an infield single to Alex Rodriguez, before getting Mark Teixeira on a foul pop out and whiffing Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran is... a pretty sweet way to debut.

993 - Jack Leathersich

Edgy MD May 07 2015 07:38 AM Re: Met Count, 2015

Buck Showalter created some SERIOUS Met count controversy last night. As Johnny Monell was in the on-deck circle and preparing to pinch-hit for deGrom, Dilson Herrera ripped a shot to left that may have been a homer or may have been a double. When it was ruled a homer, Monell retreated to the dugout, and deGrom returned to take his plate appearance. But Showalter came out to argue that Monell stepped in the batter's box in the interim, effectively becoming Met #994! Buck lost his case, but it was dramatic for a little bit there! It's hard to conclude that Showalter doesn't have money on this thing.

Centerfield May 07 2015 07:39 AM Re: Met Count, 2015

Was that going to be Monell's big league debut? Man I hope that kid doesn't get Moonlight Grahamed.

Lefty Specialist May 07 2015 07:47 AM Re: Met Count, 2015

He already went 1 for 8 during his cup of coffee with the Giants in 2013. So it wouldn't have been his ML debut.

amazing how easy it is to miss 1.1 of Mets reliever when you've got a 1 month old and are running on no sleep. Puello is tecnically on the 40 man too, were he not on the 60day DL.

Edgy MD Jun 28 2015 07:19 PM Re: Met Count, 2015

This is fascinating. Not only is there no obvious candidate for the next Met call up, there's certainly anything but a guarantee that the Millennium Met will be a call up, drowning in trade talk as we are, there is no guarantee that the MM will be a call up.

Edgy MD Jun 28 2015 07:51 PM Re: Met Count, 2015

The Yomohama DeNa Baystars of the NBL Central League have just dashed the hopes of one candidate for the coveted title of Millennium Met, signing away the most successful of Las Vegas' left-handed relievers, Duane Below. Duane joins a Yokohama team that has recently ended a 12 game slide that has knocked them off their perch, but they still sit only three games off the pace in the Central. For their part, the 51s fill the void in the bullpen ably with the recently activated Jenrry Mejia, allowed to "rehab" in the minors during the final weeks of his PED suspension.

Rockin' Doc Jun 28 2015 08:29 PM Re: Met Count, 2015
