Re: Bad Roster Construction
The Mets either need to lose an outfielder/DH or a pitcher. Yes, exactly... but losing a pitcher feels fanciful these days, especially if they are going to a 6-man rotation (otherwise, you could excise Houser unless he's a placeholder for Peterson). Narvaez--yeesh, but if you don't have another cat...

Re: IGT, PHI@NYM 2024-05-13: One I'm Sure They Wrote for You and Me
There’s a real roster/bench management problem here when the Mets have no viable options in the 10th inning. Burning 2 players to hit for Baty is a real problem. If Baty can’t be trusted to hit in a big spot, he can’t start. Not with Wendle and Nido and Narvaez holding down unproductive spots on th...

Re: Are the Mets Just Bad
Bench and roster construction leaves something to be desired with 3 players who can’t hit and a bunch of extra DHes. Right. When you pinch-run w/DJ Stewart, then yes, there is an issue with roster construction. JDM is a DH-only which is fine b/c he's a good hitter but it clogs up a spot that is mos...

Re: No Longer the Cock of the MLB Walk
Various Sunday afternoon games have been shifted, likely in anticipation of the successor to the Cock for the Sunday contract. The Mets game against the Marlins on August 18 is now at 12:05.
Rumors have the Cock's package being moved to the Roku Channel. Really.

From August 2 to September 1, the Mets will play 29 games in 31 days with only 9 home games. There will be two west coast trips, they will play in 3 different time zones for 3 consecutive days (August 4 to 6) and none of the road games will be in the eastern time zone (we'll be tired, too!)

IGT 05/10/24 -- ATL @ NYM
After two days off, the Mets face the Atlanta Braves. The starters are Jose Quintana and assassin Charlie Morton (he hit Pete on purpose and Buck did nothing to retaliate). Game time is 7:10 PM ET on SNY. The second-place Braves are a 1.5-run favorite and the O/U is 8 runs. https://www.mlb.com/gamed...

One run and it was helped by a dropped/unseen fly ball. Meanwhile, Oakland scored 20, PHI scored 14, TX scored 15, and SD scored 13.

Re: IGT 05-01-2024 Cubs at Mets Back in the Black
I keep thinking about the C standing on the plate waiting for the ball which is contrary to the rule. MLB said that the "trajectory" put him there but that's wrong. The fielder threw the ball to where the C was standing, not the opposite. There is supposed to be a "lane" for the ...
