My pretend lineup minus the slumping Lindor and Baty Nimmo McNeil Alonso Alvarez Escobar SS Marte Vogelbach Canha Vientos 3B

Edgy MD Jun 04 2023 07:29 AM Re: IGT 06/04 - TOR at NYM - Series Salvage Revisited

Yeah, was thinking very much the same. It's a good day for a one-off (for now) visit to the cleanup spot for Álvarez. I also had half a mind to flirt with Vogelbach in the three spot.

ashie62 Jun 04 2023 07:52 AM Re: IGT 06/04 - TOR at NYM - Series Salvage Revisited

My first thought was Vogelbach at 2 or 3 Anybody think Pete should get a day? Probably tough to consider after dropping the first two games. Vogelbach to 1b and Pham in somewhere

Edgy MD Jun 04 2023 07:53 AM Re: IGT 06/04 - TOR at NYM - Series Salvage Revisited

Pete certainly should get a day, but probably best not to sit him and Lindor at the same time. That reads less like a day of rest and more like a manager with a red ass.

Possibly dumping this series after the Philly triumph feels crushing

I'm not dumping nothing. Kind of miss that triple, though, and I might have fought that one harder 'n' Buck, but to what end, I dunno.

MFS62 Jun 04 2023 12:22 PM Re: IGT 06/04 - TOR at NYM - Series Salvage Revisited

Well, at least they won't get no-hit. (But the way they're going, the game will be rained out and they'll get no-hit in the makeup). Later

A lot of that this season. For a team that's managed by a stickler they certainly have played a lot of bad baseball.

Table-setting guys, a baserunner or two on the bags for one of these homeruns would certainly help.

Do you remember the day game on May 14 @WSH? The Mets tied it and Buck left Leone in the game for a 2d inning and he gave up the GW HR. Buck didn't remember because the exact same thing happened today.

Edgy MD Jun 04 2023 02:16 PM Re: IGT 06/04 - TOR at NYM - Series Salvage Revisited

It says something about what's going on with Lindor that even when he got a hit, he didn't run hard because he figured it would be caught.

metirish Jun 04 2023 02:18 PM Re: IGT 06/04 - TOR at NYM - Series Salvage Revisited

The pain in Gelbs voice when he said "and another strike out for Francisco Lindor "

kcmets Jun 04 2023 02:19 PM Re: IGT 06/04 - TOR at NYM - Series Salvage Revisited

Didn't notice that, but he shoulda been a spectator today unless urgently needed for some reason. I'm feeling rather deflated, but we have another inning left...

Sorry, Jeff. Unless you have the upper-body strength of Rusty Staub, you're not going to hit homers while choking up like that.

Didnt figure it'd be so quick, though. For this quick an answer, I would've guessed Grimm and his database. Did the Mets ever do this homering five times in a game?

Lefty Specialist Jun 04 2023 03:05 PM Re: IGT 06/04 - TOR at NYM - Series Salvage Revisited

Fortunately, they've got a 3-game series in Atlanta to perk them up. Or...........not. This is a team that's just out of synch. It seems every time they start to get it going, they stall out. Pitchers have good games followed by bad games. Hitters are going into funks. The good people in the bullpen are being overused and the rest of them just suck. So after 60 games, they're just spinning their wheels. We're actually traveling to Pittsburgh to see them next Saturday. I'm kinda dreading it a bit.

G-Fafif Jun 04 2023 03:08 PM Re: IGT 06/04 - TOR at NYM - Series Salvage Revisited

I wondered if Senga's interpreter wouldn't translate as well on four days' rest, but he seems no worse for the wear.

Not only was Diaz historically great last year, but he was also one of the very best relievers in baseball the year before. Diaz's presence would have eliminated the worst reliever from the rotation. That's a huge gap in value - swapping Diaz for whoever is the least effective Mets reliever. Marte's off. Lindor's under .220 and not doing enough offensively to compensate for that and especially, taking at-bats from the very top of the lineup. And like I said, McNeil this year is a singles hitter with virtually no power. His isolated power is practically non-existent. His 2023 is a repeat of his disappointing 2021 season, except that his BA is somewhat better this year. If you looked at his 2021 and 2023 season stats, you'd never imagine that he could sandwich a batting title in between.

Pete has only 31 hits this year that aren't HRs and he's K'd 50 times. The BP was supposed to go 5 deep but the Diaz injury moved everyone in the BP up one slot and allowed for a 3d interchangeable reliever instead of 2 and with the failure of the SPs to go past 5 or 6 on most nights you needed a deep BP. Billy did nothing for the 'pen after Diaz got hurt and has only since picked up other team's discards (such as Leone) while his brilliant Rule V pick was a bust.
