OT: Mets 2026 Season Thread
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
Two different types of players
Twins RF slows down and lets ball drop 3 feet in front of him to allow go ahead run to score
Buxton full speed into an all out head first dive to save runs and end inning

When did the Minnesota Twins become the Dodgers or anything like it? They won't be tweeting tonight.
Shame about Lindor now getting hurt.
Team seems snakebitten !
Not a good thing but I think Mets will be able to do ok without Lindor as Bo will move to SS / Baty to 3b and they ll call up Mauricio and play him minimally vs righties at 2b.
Think Bo and Baty will hit better comfortable at their regular positions!
Lack of hitting / offense remains a significant concern !

over the last 2 weeks during the losing streak- Lindor was the only one hitting...
Crazy enough the Phillies might be in a worse spot right now. Same record with a run differential worst in MLB at -50. Much older roster as well.
Mauricio up for Lindor.
After his 3 HR game two nights ago let's hope he continues to hit.

When you have a team pressing for runs you see stuff like that. I don't blame him especially with Pham as the next batter. People are going to force things more when things are going bad.
We know exactly what Vientos was thinking. He told us in the post game interview.
Vientos acknowledged that he didn't miss the sign. He just ignored it. In his words "I trusted my instincts". He repeated that phrase about three times. At no time did he acknowledge any error. In fact he threw in some crap about how he didn't want this to curtail his aggressiveness.
Wrong answer, big guy. The correct answer would have included words like sorry and it will never happen again.
Vientos publicly defied the coach's (and by extension, the manager's) authority, and seemed unconcerned about any possible ramifications. That is not a good sign.
Mendoza has to have a talk with him. He doesn't necessarily need to make it public, but Vientos's needs a talking to.
Vientos should have learned that his instincts aren't nearly as good as the instructions from the third-base coach. He was Charlie Brown at home.
The first question is will he play. Whose AB's does he take? Maybe Benge draws the short straw.
That sucks.
Snakebitten year continues !
Hope they simply let Mauricio play every day and he learns to be patient at the plate and lay off the breaking stuff.
Devin Williams is going to have to claim he has an injury to try to save face. He simply cannot pitch in the majors right now.
Mendoza explained it in the postgame. Peterson was working on three days rest and the plan was to limit him to 50 pitches.
Good win tonight! Offense finally with a big night. Bichette and Benge good stuff tonight. Really good stuff. Scott nervy or something I'm not sure. Meyers was awesome. Williams got the W with a scare. He'll come around.
At this point who do you think the top 2 closers should be.

Hopefully the Mets can activate Stearns from the IL list
He’s been on the IL for close to 2 years
