Switching to Knicks Pacers. Enough misery for one night.

I say we give him a bat and see what we got. Can’t be worse than what’s out there.

IGT - 5.17.24 - Hey we get to play a team worse than us!

Christian Scott vs. Jesus Luzardo. Luzardo hasn't been great this year (0-3, 5.97 ERA) but has been ok in the past. His WHIP is 1.33, which is not terrible. Similar to Manaea. Better than Quintana. The high ERA comes from two bad starts against the Braves and Yankees. He's given up 2 ER three times ...

Re: National League East Vote

I don't remember if I voted in this poll, but if it were late in the offseason, I would have guessed third. I'd still guess third now. I think they'll eventually overtake Washington. I know the Mets may well benefit from the third WC team, but I still think it was a stupid idea to add it. A .500 tea...

Bad throw costs us a run.

Walk leads to another one. Anemic offense.

It’s the same thing every night.

IGT - 5.16.24 - The "Why is this not a Day Game?" Game

To FK's point.

If they needed Tuesday to be a day game because the teams were traveling all the way to Philadelphia, why is today not a day game when the Mets need to trek to Miami?

Not that I want this to be a day game. Just illustrating how little sense this makes.

Re: IGT 5/15 Mets at Phillies Lucchese Steaks 6:40

I'm also looking forward to Alvarez coming back. But he had a .652 OPS prior to getting hurt. So it's not like he was providing big production.

I do think he will be better than that once he comes back.

Re: Bad Roster Construction

Honestly I’d sign on for 5 DHs at this point if it meant scoring runs.

Re: Rock Reconsidered

Reiser has plenty of writing experience. When an actor starts writing books that almost exactly parallel the arc that the character he's playing on TV is going through -- COUPLEHOOD, followed by BABYHOOD, then PARENTHOOD -- I tend to assume that those books are ghosted ... but maybe not.

Re: Bad Roster Construction

But the key is to stop taking the ones that you have out while they are pitching well. I know this isn't exactly the place to hold this conversation, but I feel like this ship has sailed. Everyone believes you should pull the pitcher before he starts to struggle. And the more they subscribe to this...

Re: 5/14/24 - The 'Why is this a Day Game?' IGT

NYM pitchers: 8 walks plus a HBP (w/bags loaded natch) Nola: three times went to a three-ball count Nuff said This is part of the reason this team is so unwatchable. The opposition scores in the most aggravating way possible, and our guys don't score at all. Hell, most of the time they don't even t...

Re: 5/14/24 - The 'Why is this a Day Game?' IGT

The Mets don't hit and the pitching staff walks everyone.

I feel like Stearns was trying to get us to hate this team so we won't mind when he blows it up.

Yeah, I don't know that I like Mendoza, but he's far down the list of what's fucked up right now.

Honestly, I'm surprised we haven't been no-hit yet.

Re: Bad Roster Construction

How long until you can tell? He's already had 550 plate appearances in MLB and has a .603 OPS.

Alec Bohm, in his worst year, had a .647 OPS.

Tons of walks. HBP. Bad ABs. Bunt popped up.

Flush this team down the toilet.

If Diaz is this bad it’s going to be a long season.

Bad baseball.
