If you are referring to the ninth inning, Ramos was not on base. He made the last out.
Did you try calling Mickey in the dugout, or was the phone busy because he was taking orders from BVW?
Oh of course, that. I guess because Ramos was not the tying run. Plus when you pinch run for Ramos you lose two players, unless you use Nido to pinch run. Not going to kill Mickey for that one.
The Mets should emulate Tampa and have a reliever like Gsellman; Font etc start and pitch for the first 1-2 innings. Then bring the starter in the 3rd inning leaving Lugo and Diaz for the end. Usually hitters are sort of lethargic at the beginnnig of a game which I'm sure metrics and analytics can prove.. Can't hurt. If it works for Tampa and Chaim Bloom, it works for me!
For some reason no one's allowed ro talk about the Cano trade in this thread.
Will never happen as long as Jeff Wilpon is calling the shots.Mets bullpen =
Which is sad, since you guys seem to have some good young talent on the field. Dump Mickey and BVW, hire Joe G and a competent GM, you guys will be fine.
Season been over since Diaz blew it in LA.
"I'm usually against boycotting your sports team in this case, Mets fans should organize a planned boycott just outside Citi Field the next home game.
Not inside the property. Don't give the Wilpons parking money.
But a large protest and boycott. Don't use or sell your tickets, eat them.
Notify the media so you get press attention
Your owners don't care about winning."

Agree with you 100% But will never happen because the same people will still keep going to these games and expect a different result. I was going to get 2 tickets with the 13 Game Plan this season but thought better. Only got 2 games this year and will only go to my last one because its with my son. Otherwise I wouldve ate them.
And the sad part is that if the Mets will ever get better, the raise in ticket prices will be more than usual to justify the raise.

Keep opening this site expecting/hoping to read there's a news conference and the Mets are making sweeping changes, oh well, just another day in Mets Land.
I was also at the game with my brother-in-law who is a diehard Dodger fan, going back to the Brooklyn days. Enjoyable indeed, but tainted with the memory of Goeddel failing to close it out with a nine run lead. Which prompted Collins to bring in Familia with a six run lead. Thought that decision may come back to bite the Mets later in the series, but it did not.
Oh well, no point in looking backwards when the future is so bright.
There is a ray of light today although it doesn't move the needle in the short term. Mets have reportedly now signed all of their top 10 picks in the recent draft. Including that pitcher Allan who had a mid 1st round grade but slid to round 3 because it was said he was asking for a huge bonus to walk away from his commitment to the U of Florida.
No. The team hasn't confirmed the deal yet. Probably just an agreement until ink officially goes on paper., Or however they do it these days. The news of the agreement came from MLB.com
The downside is that Van Wagon Wheel just traded him and their first round pick for Chris Davis.
BVW put together the bonus pool credit to sign Allan, their #3 pick with #1 talent, by scrimping on picks 4 through 10. With those picks they drafted only college seniors with no remaining eligibility. These guys tend to be lesser prospects, as the blue chippers tend not to hang around for senior year. Lacking the option of returning to school, the seniors have no negotiating leverage and can be signed for chump change. And that is what the Mets did.
So in essence, they traded their 4-10 picks for another #1. A bold strategy and we'll see how it works.

So these guys are good already? We don't know, so he could just have easily picked bad prospects.
We do know, however, that he traded two #1 picks this off season for a 36 year old with 5 years $100 mm left on his contract and a closer, and that those #1 picks are performing very well this year. We do know that.
That Cespedes unparalleled jack was one of my favorite live sporting event moments - ever.
Oh Gary, shut up already about Vargas not apologizing.
Vargas went off the rails, and he was fined. Time to move on.

Right now Vargas is “knocking the Phillies the f*$k out bro.”
Annnnnd... Vargas gets the ND as the bullpen blows their 20th game of of the season.
