[TWEET]https://twitter.com/DeeshaThosar/status/1393966200930148360[/TWEET] This is BVW-level roster management. They have a 3-man bench today consisting of Maz, Nido, and Hager. Lucchesi is still on the roster. I'm not well-versed in the 40-man machinations but send Lucchesi on a rocket ship to Mars, or anywhere else, and call up a hitter.

Conforto may have just blown out his hammy.

bmfc1 May 16 2021 11:20 AM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 16 2021 12:15 PM

Dammit. And now it's a 2-man bench. The Mets IL has more talent than the active roster: Conforto (unknown), Nimmo, JD, Guillorme, Almora. Jake, Carlos, Noah, Lugo.

kcmets May 16 2021 11:20 AM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

Maybe it's mild, he walked off pretty normal. (I started in early on the Kool-aid)

ashie62 May 16 2021 11:22 AM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

Josh Hager #86 He looks like he is wearing fish net stockings.

ashie62 May 16 2021 11:24 AM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

Dang, that was hit hard.

It's a one-man outfield.

Still got two catchers, which is cool.



Didn't they give Mazeika some run in the outfield this spring, or in the minors? Or am I just hallucinating that?

Edgy MD May 16 2021 11:45 AM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

Maybe it's me, but McCann seems like he's behind on changeups.

Edgy MD May 16 2021 11:45 AM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

McNeil out of the game. Hammy.

ashie62 May 16 2021 11:46 AM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

One man bench now.

Patrick Mazeika is a DH who's never had a hit.

LWFS May 16 2021 11:47 AM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

Woooooooonderful. I didn't understand why they'd sent Khalil Lee down with just three OFs and a gimpy McNeil on the roster.

I'm guessing b/c Hager can play 2B, where Jeff played yesterday, as well as OF while Lee is an OF-only.

If Michael goes on the IL, Lee will be back tomorrow.

Hager's BEEN up with them since before the game yesterday, though. (He made the last out of the game, IIRC.)

bmfc1 May 16 2021 11:56 AM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

I didn't say it was logical, I was trying to think like Sandy. https://www.mlb.com/mets/roster/40-man/ If I'm reading this correctly, there are only two non-pitchers on the 40-man who aren't on the team or injured, Lee and Grullon.

kcmets May 16 2021 11:56 AM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

Can I start an Injury Game Thread, or what?

That is so G-D odd. They had to ADD Hager to the 40 to bring him up, too. (Could've gone with Drury instead, who I KNOW has played all over the diamond.)

Edgy MD May 16 2021 12:00 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

As per the wisdom of swapping out Lee for Hager, Mets Roster Central abides. The Mets now have two players in their lineup without a big league hit. The only good part about watching Mets go down is knowing that I personally go up one notch on the infield depth chart.

Edgy MD May 16 2021 12:01 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

Frustratingly enough, apart from Khalil Lee, the only non-pitcher the Mets have remaining on the 40 is Deivy Grullion ... another catcher.

ashie62 May 16 2021 12:02 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

You mention Grullion and McCann will get hurt.

LWFS May 16 2021 12:05 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

GOD, I hate these Florida trips.

Edgy MD May 16 2021 12:13 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

Syracuse, continuing their terrible start, has their top three infielders (Drury, Tovar, Jackson) all hitting under .200. Tovar probably has the best case for a callup. The best non-roster outfielder the team has available is Sebastian Elizalde, and he's at Bingo (who are off to a stunning 0-10 start). Margot just got himself a hanger of a hanger.

Edgy MD May 16 2021 12:20 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

My wife thinks the Mets are following new CDC guidance that says they don't have to stretch.

ashie62 May 16 2021 12:27 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

Didn't the Mets just win seven straight?

Frayed Knot May 16 2021 12:28 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

The problem is that you don't have any confidence that this team can score four runs between now and Thursday much less over the next four innings.

LWFS May 16 2021 12:39 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

I'm pretty certain they don't need to worry about facing THIS lineup a third time through the order.

bmfc1 May 16 2021 12:40 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

We saw Jeff and Michael get hurt while running to first. McCann remains healthy because he doesn't run the bases very often.

Hager looks a little like a shrunken Captain Kirk, don't he? This Ryan Thompson got a funKAY windup.

bmfc1 May 16 2021 01:06 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

It would be nice if Lindor and McCann stepped up to earn their money, esp. in this time of need, but it doesn't seem that way.

Puig is playing for Veracruz in the Mexican League.



Céspedes on the other hand, is currently unemployed.

Good! If they stop overturning these essentially meaningless and razor-thin calls then maybe managers will think twice about challenging essentially meaningless, razor-thin calls.

First of all, if you don't know what it means, then you don't know whether I'm being mean to you, which I'm not. Second of all, "cant go a week" is the height of hypocrisy. Like you didn't spend practically a decade trying to torture me. But that didn't happen just because you say it didn't.

ashie62 May 16 2021 01:53 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

I thought Hager looked like Nieuwenhuis also, but without the muscle.

The Hot Corner May 16 2021 03:46 PM Re: IGT 05/16 - NYM @ TBR

...Céspedes on the other hand, is currently unemployed. Personally, I prefer he remain that way. Things are rapidly getting ugly, but not bad enough call on Cespedes (who would likely pull something while warming in the on deck circle).

They're both really good at getting the ball in from the outfield.
