Clutch was stuck all night. Particularly Vientos and Soto. Bullpen starting to spring some leaks. Was never gonna remain as good as it had been. Although Stanek didn't exactly get raked around. More like a few as long as you put it in play something good can happen type of hits. As opposed to striking out with ducks on the pond as was our m.o. tonight. Can't and won't win em all but 0-10 with risp? Geez. Arizona won because their hitters produced back to back sac flies. And sometimes that's all you need. To bear down and find a,way to get a run in.

Not saying you're wrong, but I doubt that Mendoza will ever make that move.

If pinch-hitting with Torrens is the correct decision, and if Torrens (as is generally conceded) is superior defensively, then Torrens should be the starter and Alvarez the backup, no? I don't ever see Mendoza doing that. I think the Mets are committed to Alvarez as C1 for at least the foreseeable future.

Very surprised that Diaz, who was on three days rest, was not brought in to pitch the ninth after he had warmed up.

Yeah hence my oh well. Felt like absolutely the right move, but they’re just not going to pull the trigger on that (at least anytime soon).

Since you frame it as something personal, that's fine. It's not as if Torrens is a good hitter. And while, yes, Alvarez is still finding himself, he's still got a much higher lifetime OPS than Torrens.

Regarding Stanek. The bloop hit that plated two runs was a terrible pitch. Keith pointed out the uppercut swing. If he throws a high fast ball, that dude strikes out. Instead, he gave him a good pitch to hit down and in the strike zone. Stanek has lost his mojo. We need him to get his sh*t together quickly with the other injuries in the pen.

Torrens for Alvarez? Diaz pitching the 9th? I guess you can say anything would be better than what happened. But I wouldn't have done those things. Sometimes the right decision doesn't work out.

I didn't notice that Keith said that. But I also didn't like the location on Stanek's fastball. It allowed the guy, who was already slapping at pitches to stay alive, to slap one in play to the outfield. In and up would have been better.

Do you think Mendoza had a conversation with Lindor about not busting it down to second and not sliding when the Diamondback second baseman dropped the ball trying to turn a DP.

Just saw an article in something called BVM sports, listing the 10 greatest Mets of all time. Here is their countdown:

10. Jose Reyes
9. Pete Alonso
8. Jerry Koosman
7. Keith Hernandez
6. Jacob deGrom
5. Darryl Strawberry
4. Mike Piazza
3. Dwight Gooden
2. David Wright
1. Tom Seaver

I think #1 is unanimous, but the rest is subject to debate. What do you all think? Is Pete Alonso, based on his current body of work, already one of the top 10 Mets of all time?

No Lindor?

He and Alvarez both need to learn to be ready for 1st pitch fastballs. They take so many right down Broadway to immediately fall behind in the count, before then starting to flail at breaking pitches way out of the strike zone.

To my fellow RU and Mets fans: Please accept my sincerest, heartfelt apologies! Despite having been a Mets fan since that first day in St. Petersburg in 1962, it appears as if my attendance at Mets games has become detrimental to the team. Therefore, I will take a three week self imposed timeout so that I may reevaluate my fervent fandom. My best wishes to you all!!

Didn’t realize Mets got off to such a good start in 1972.

Was that the year the whole team got decimated by injuries throughout the season ?

Rookie ball FCL starts tomorrow so we'll see how Lantigua does stateside. Hopefully some intriguing guys do well like Adderly and de Oleo and others begin to pop up.

Yeah Sproat pitched Wednesday so wouldn't have enough rest. He's also been struggling a bit more than Tidwell so far.

Nimmo can’t play center a few times a week ??

Glad he has a single but Vientos just swung at a pitch 3 feet outside AND 2 feet low for strike 3
