Will Cameron Maybin get a standing ovation when he makes his Citi Field debut? Find out tonight at 7:10 as the Mets return home, still in first place somehow, to play the Colorado Rockies in the first of a four-game series. Austin Gomber (LHP) faces Mets David Peterson (LHP). https://www.mlb.com/gameday/rockies-vs-mets/2021/05/24/634056#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=634056 https://www.espn.com/mlb/game/_/gameId/401227756 Weather: https://www.rotowire.com/baseball/weather.php Odds: Money Line: NYM -125, COL +115, O/U:7.5 , LINE: NYM -1.5 Game Notes: Mets: https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/mlb/bvxlehygakzq5oprzejn.pdf (the 3d paragraph, about Gsellman, has a good title).

okay, I'm gonna go to this one.

LWFS May 24 2021 02:11 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Wow. That lineup. Makes you wonder what John Mayberry and Soup are up to, and whether their gloves are still broken in. I feel like the 3 hole is being turned into less of a batting-order slot, and something more like a performance-art platform.

Edgy MD May 24 2021 02:17 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Soup is batting 1.000 for the Seattle Mariners.

LWFS May 24 2021 02:22 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Double wow. Can we slot in Rojas' PR acumen in at first base, batting third? Because it's... pretty offensive. [BLOCKQUOTE]Rojas said McCann is "familiar" with first base even though he's never played there professionally.[/BLOCKQUOTE] Like, he's a secret admirer, from afar?

This year, first base has only been a rumor to McCann. Later

bmfc1 May 24 2021 02:33 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

There's a lefty on the mound tonight but JD Davis is staying in Syracuse to get more experience as a 1B while McCann plays 1B with zero experience. (Per someone else, McCann has no experience even getting to 1B this season.) Dom is a superior 1B but he's in LF in order to get Nido AND McCann in the lineup.

Edgy MD May 24 2021 02:42 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

That is weird. Nido and Zeke both have firstbasing experience. Zeke has significantly more, but they probably don't want his first start against a lefty.

nymr83 May 24 2021 05:16 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

This lineup is insane. Why aren't we using Smith at 1B, Lee in the outfield, and one of those catchers on the bench? If we aren't going to hit, can't we at least try fielding well?

Because the idea that Dom should be playing first base because first base is Dom's best position and Dom's the best defensive first baseman among the current candidates simplifies the issue. The issue is whether the Mets are better off with (Dom at first and (XYZ) in left) -or- are the Mets better off with (Dom in left and (XYZ) at first)? Which pairing produces the best combined defensive efficiency? That's what the Mets should be trying to determine. And maybe they are.

kcmets May 24 2021 05:39 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Fun and exciting first fielding play by McCann!

MFS62 May 24 2021 05:44 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

The Mets have .137 hitters, but not any who hit home runs. (sigh) Later

Johnny Lunchbucket May 24 2021 06:06 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

This could be the night they get perfect-gamed. #Gomberiffic

kcmets May 24 2021 06:11 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Fargas looks like he dislocated his shoulder.

kcmets May 24 2021 06:12 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Overreacted, nevermind...

Frayed Knot May 24 2021 06:15 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Peterson: 2 HRs, 1 3B, and a couple outs to the wall Mets: one ball out of the infield

kcmets May 24 2021 06:23 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

When Frandor signed a contract without a no-trade clause I thought it was a big deal. Maybe his agent was like who the hell would trade for this stiff 3-4 years from now. Sign, and quick!!

Fman99 May 24 2021 06:40 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

This group of hitters is wretched. Maybin should be hitting like 11th in this lineup.

Edgy MD May 24 2021 06:51 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

I'm just tuning in. Whose job was it to look after Fargas?

Frayed Knot May 24 2021 06:54 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

At least it looks like we're going to be embarrassed quickly tonight.

Frayed Knot May 24 2021 07:04 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

At least we're getting skunked these last few games by top pitchers like Poteet & Gomber

Frayed Knot May 24 2021 07:07 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

22 walks in 45 innings for this guy coming into tonight. I'm not sure any of our hitters have gotten to Ball 2 yet

ashie62 May 24 2021 07:07 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

The offense is all McCann.

Chad ochoseis May 24 2021 07:08 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

James McCann, slugger.

Fman99 May 24 2021 07:22 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

The McCann HR almost makes it worse. Every batter swinging for the fences with every pitch. Once it worked. All the rest of the time it's just a bunch of guys looking like they don't know how to play baseball.

bmfc1 May 24 2021 07:28 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

GKR said that everything can work out if they tread water until everyone gets back but that's going to take a while and they might be out of it by the ASB. Of course, who are they going to pickup at this point?

Frayed Knot May 24 2021 07:40 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Well if nothing else, our CS ability is much improved this year.

Edgy MD May 24 2021 07:42 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Drury nullification. Wake up and make love to me!

Edgy MD May 24 2021 07:45 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Got to send in a pinch-running pitcher for Mazeika, right? Or are we too terrified of injuries at this point?

Frayed Knot May 24 2021 07:45 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Could this game be actually winnable? The thought hasn't even crossed my mind since maybe the 2nd inning.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 24 2021 07:46 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

This game has that Endy Chavez walkoff bunt feel to it.

Fman99 May 24 2021 07:47 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Signs of life late. I'm perpetually optimistic.

Edgy MD May 24 2021 07:48 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

I guess we're too injury-shy.

I'm not sure Villar's our best hitter anymore, guys.

Frayed Knot May 24 2021 07:50 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Let's go Frankie, time to earn your keep.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 24 2021 07:51 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Nope

ashie62 May 24 2021 07:52 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Lindor sucks.

Frayed Knot May 24 2021 07:54 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Now you almost have to run for Zeke, but who?

Johnny Lunchbucket May 24 2021 07:54 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Let us pray

Johnny Lunchbucket May 24 2021 07:54 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Good night

Fman99 May 24 2021 07:55 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Well, pickles.

Ceetar's fault, he has some splainin' to do maňana.

Ceetar May 24 2021 08:45 PM Re: IGT 5/24/2021, COL @ NYM: #Home Again

Ceetar's fault, he has some splainin' to do maňana. I kept going up to security "Just let me out there! I can hit! I swear!"
