I think it is time to start worrying about Diaz.

The Mets order is killing the Mets

Nice to learn that a .159 hitting catcher can drive in runs. Unfortunately, not for the Mets.

A good summary of the situation.

Bringing up Syracuse players to boost the team sounds like a good and exciting plan but it underscores the paltryness of the main team. Last night the minor league teams lost all six games they played. They scored (FCL) 0, StL 2, BRK 0, 1, BING 0, SYR 4. Those numbers didn't surprise me because the...

The Mets were the only team in the organization to win yesterday. The minor leaguers lost all six games they played.

Time for JD to earn his pay.(Because I have no confidence in Bader or Marte)

Is it time for a trumpet-worthy performance, or just a kazoo?

When he says they can't do much until the trade deadline, that's silly.
Any trade can be made before the deadline, and through waivers after that.
There may be a desperation for many teams to move players as the deadline nears, but that isn't a hard start/stop.

Like when manager Leo Durocher convinced Adolfo Phillips that when batting eighth he was the "second cleanup hitter". Phillips went on to have his best year.

There you go, trying to be logical again. You've got to stop that.

Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert showed up in court today. I guess they're there to provide immoral support.

Before today, the Mets led the majors in walks allowed with 187. #2 was the Marlins with 177. #3 was the Astros with 174. The average was 138. It could be because they aren't (except maybe Severino) "Stuff" pitchers. So, in absence of a strikeout pitch, they have to get batters out by pit...

Not everyone. Let them pitch until they get into trouble and see if they can work out of it before you go to the bullpen.

By the end of the year, his nickname will be Yo-Yo. He'll be up and down to AAA, filling in, pitching well, and not sticking around. 4-5 3.84 I can just see the news reports in about 30 years: "Jose Butto has been elected to the Hall of Fame". And in an associated story, "the Mets ha...

The factoid that sticks in my mind about Michael was at one time, he was the only singer to have won a Grammy as a solo artist, part of a duet and as part of a larger group. I'm not sure if this has been done since.
(disclaimer), I may have him mixed up with another singer.

That's not a sustainable setup. I swore Jose Iglesias woulda made the team out of spring training; he's what good teams have -- a competent defensive middle infielder who used to be a starter, won't kill you when a guy needs a day off or has a short term injury. BRING UP IGLESIAS ALREADY,STEARNS!!!...

Lucchesi and Vientos have been recalled - Joey to pitch tomorrow.
No corresponding moves announced yet.
