Have we ever had a tear down like this for the Mets ?

Not gonna lie: had too look up who Rafael Ortega is.

This many players/deals in this few days? I can't remember one in-season. 2003 and 2017 Mets kept shedding players over a matter of weeks, but this is Thursday to Tuesday.

2001 Mets let go of four stalwarts in about a week's time: Pratt, Wendell, Cook, Reed, then accidentally got hot.

Can't wait to see the lineup. Later

Edgy MD Aug 01 2023 05:13 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

In 2003, they were able to keep shedding the likes of Rey Sanchez in waiver deals after the deadline. That's not allowed any longer, so it was all today or not at all.

Cowtipper Aug 01 2023 05:14 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

Somehow, Ortega's been in the majors on-and-off since 2012, yet I just became aware of his existence last year.

NEW LINEUP… New Mets lineup, minus Brandon Nimmo: Mets Game 106 of 162, @ KC Tuesday, Aug. 1, 7:10 p.m. ET RHP Zack Greinke (1-11, 5.49) McNeil LF Alvarez C Lindor SS Alonso 1B Baty 3B Vientos DH D.J. Stewart RF Ortega CF Mendick 2B - Quintana LHP (0-2, 3.27)

MFS62 Aug 01 2023 05:38 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

Greinke is 1-11 this year, but has the second most wins of active pitchers - 224. Later

=MFS62 post_id=133663 time=1690933109 user_id=60] Greinke is 1-11 this year, but has the second most wins of active pitchers - 224. Later

His teammate, Jordan Lyles, started off 0-11 and was on pace to go something like 0-24 at one point. Now he's 2-12 but I'm still pulling for him to lose 20. MLB hasn't had a 20-game loser since Mike Maroth in 2003 so we're due for another one.

I would really find that very hard to believe.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2023 07:02 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

"Greinke hasn't been charged with an error since July fifth of 2019." That's pretty cool.

Greinke is throwing an interesting variety of junk.

Cowtipper Aug 01 2023 07:19 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

Quadruple-A player Rafael Ortega striking out is very symbolic of how the rest of the Mets season is very likely to go.

kcmets Aug 01 2023 07:19 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

Home plate ump to pitch framers, "Please guys, I'm not blind."

Pete looking like he wanna cry — and not just from that blow to the face.

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2023 07:34 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

So we've found something this Mets team does well, they're leading the league in getting hit in the face by pop-ups. And both times it's cost us a run(s).

Edgy MD Aug 01 2023 07:38 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

Greinke is goneke after only 72 pitches. I hardly see the pointke of paying the guy handsomely if you're not going to let him try to win for you.

Jeff McNeil has LEDs embedded in his face. It's tough night for Met faces.

I certainly think so.



A terrific hitter and fielder in addition to his pitching.



Pitched all over, with good teams and bad teams, and overcame some mental/emotional issues in getting there.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2023 07:56 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

It's kind of like the Billy McKinney Interregnum to me — when the Mets had so many offensive injuries that Nido and McCann were their two best hitters, the roster was filled with emergency callups and grabs from the excess pile around the league, and they managed to stay in most games despite ... Nido and McCann being their two best hitters. For a few weeks there, there were a lot of competitive — but really short — games.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2023 08:02 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

Well, that's the way to take the lead. Wish we had done it.

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2023 08:05 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

So now that mgmt decided that tens of millions of dollars needs to be dumped into revamping the pitching staff, when do they figure out that the offense and defense are worse than the pitching? Three plays not made have led to all three runs, and we have 4 hits thru 7 innings against a washed up pitcher with a 6.00 ERA on one of the worst teams in the last decade.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2023 08:16 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

Bezes very quickly loaded for Alfonso. Big chance here.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2023 08:19 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

Strange that the KC outfielder didn't make a try for that bloop. There wasn't much downside to lunging for a ball that was gonna drop in and die.

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2023 08:20 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

I think Pete has driven in each of the last 20 runs the Mets have scored.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 01 2023 08:21 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

Good thing the Royals had two mound conferences in a four pitch span or else this pitcher might really be in trouble.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2023 08:25 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

Despite calling that go-ahead sac fly "a high fly pop," Steve Gelbs has been much sharper tonight.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2023 08:48 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

For what it's worth, I think the Mets are 6-1 in extra innings this season. Maybe 5-1.

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2023 08:50 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

Oh good, now the game is in the hands of the home team then, if we survive that, the clown car rules. But given multiple opportunities with multiple baserunners instead of getting a solid hit plating multiple runs, we had to rely on a series of bloops, BBs, HBPs, and a Sac Fly just to get the ones we got one at a time cuz we don't do multi-RBI hits.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2023 08:58 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

There's a multi-RBI hit!

Trying to one-up Shmálvarez, Pete has one of his uglier at-bats of the year, swinging at sliders down and away from his knees.

Royals have one guy left on their bench and have burned the DH.

How many E-5's have we had over the last two months? Too many is the short answer. And a lot more than prior to Baty/Vientos is the other.

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2023 09:26 PM Re: IGT 8/1/2023: NYM@KCR — Random Mets Take the Field

Bases-loaded, winning run on 3rd, and in comes the guy with 6 walks allowed in 6 innings.

First walk-off balk since DJ Carrasco in 2011? Third base umpire John Tumpane is the same guy who called 3 balks in one inning against the Marlins last September.
