Re: Even the wins were hard
Again. Great work. I was saying the other day that I can’t remember the last time the Mets won a game where they scored early and then tacked on to win a laugher. Seems like there hasn’t been one in at least a month. Even the Florida win was close until late. And if I remember correctly, came the da...

Re: Extra Innings 2024
One who surprised me one was Bader. I would have guessed, based on the number of key runs he's driven in, that his number would have been higher. But, again, this takes in the totality of Bader's ABs which, as the numbers imply, more than negatively compensate for the handful of hi-light ones. And ...

I don't think it will change a single vote. That's how broken our society is.
But I'm happy there is accountability.

Re: Are the Mets Just Bad
The Mets are now 20th in runs scored. 22nd in OPS. On the pitching side, they are 16th in team ERA, and 23rd in WHIP. So in a nutshell, the games are no fun because we don't score runs, and our hitting isn't good enough to suggest that we should be scoring more runs. On the other hand, our pitching ...

Re: Extra Innings 2024
Great analysis.
I felt like it was bad, but didn't realize it was this bad.
On top of everything else, this team seems to struggle making productive outs.

They've lost the first two games of the series. So by law, they are allowed to win the third one.

Re: IGT 05/28/24 -- LAD @ NYM -- Game One
Things were supposed to get better once the math-challenged Wilpons were replaced by the highly analytical Cohen regime.
Somehow, the hitting got even worse. I don't have any idea what the process is, but it's not working and hasn't been working for years.

The team is awful. Not much help on the horizon from the farm.
We are far enough into the Cohen regime that he bears responsibility.

Re: IGT 5/24 Mets v They Might be Giants 7:10
Yeah I’m out on this team. The grand slam didn’t even get me mad. Was expecting some kind of bullshit the whole time.
Maybe some kids will come up and make a difference. But this team can go fuck off.

Re: Donald Trump in Hot Water
I've never had any faith in this case, particularly with anything substantial holding up over the longer term. Do you have reservations that there'd be a conviction? Or that the conviction would lead to jail time? I was of the camp that a conviction of some sort would be found, but that the sentenc...

Re: Next Moves
If Taylor gets the boot maybe they call up Trayce Thompson. He's been raking in Syracuse.
I was going to suggest bringing back Jose Butto. But I think he just pitched the other night.
I'm guessing they do nothing.

Re: Are the Mets Just Bad
I haven’t been following the rotation enough but I can’t understand why it was necessary to start Houser when we’ve recently added Scott and Megill to the rotation and haven’t lost any starters. I get load management. But Houser is a walking L. It’s depressing to be worse than the five games below ....

Didn’t watch the game but it seems like they put up more of a fight.
But still lost. Every day just enough to lose.

Re: IGT 05-20/2024 Mets at Cleveland - Lake Erie Perch
Indeed, but I totally stand by not firing every pitcher. I still target offensive philosophy as the culprit of the failings of our times. I agree. And I could be talked into keeping a hitter or two as well. I think overall I am on board with Stearns' big picture plan. But I find this year's team to...

Re: IGT 05-20/2024 Mets at Cleveland - Lake Erie Perch
Guardians had four 4 hits on the game, three of them came consecutively and, just for good measure, we tossed an error in (could have been two) amongst those hits. Yeah, don't fire them pitchers. The Mets are 14th in MLB in team ERA. Which I guess is technically above average, but not great. If you...
