OT: 2019 Mets Season Thread

[Zak57]

Can't believe Regan is 82.

 

[T2Kplus10]

I believe he was adamant in telling Familia to just through high sinkers and don’t worry if they hit it hard and Noah to stop worrying about speed AND control, it’s overrated...

Okay, maybe they deserved to be fired!
Looking for the hitting coach to be canned for telling Cano to slow his bat speed and not to bother running out balls that bounce off the plate.

 

[cicero grimes]

This move is insane. Maybe they can bring back Davey to manage. He is a youngster at 76.

Jack Mckeon, only about 85 years old. Sorry 88.

Regan gave up Jack Reed's 22nd inning homer in the Yankees' 9-7 win,a mere 57 years ago Monday when Regan was only 25.Yogi caught all 22 innings.Phil Rizzuto kept bitchin' about how hungry he was during the telecast.

 

[tico brown]

Can't believe Regan is 82.

Maybe they'll wheel him out to the mound like Classie Freddie Blassie.

 

[Kbee3]

So the dismissals have begun...

The Mets youth movement has begun.

 

[rurahrah000]

Did they have to dig this guy up from his grave? Did the red woman (Game of thrones reference) resurrect him?

 

[Doctor Worm]

Regan had been the Syracuse pitching coach. If he's got the stamina for that job, he's got the stamina for this one. If anything, the travel is easier.

 

[Doctor Worm]

For those keeping track for some reason, Zamora sent back down to make room for Lockett. Also, Santiago declined assignment to Syracuse and opted for free agency. We will all miss him, but must move on.

 

[Knight Shift]

Inning 1. McNeil and Alonso base hits. Cano double play.

Inning 3. McNeil base hit. Alonso homers to avoid the inevitable double play. Of course, Cano grounds out.

Watching that combination of McNeil and Alonso is the highlight of 2019.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Pete is must see TV now !!

That ball was absolutely crushed !

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Horrid pitching

Imagine D. Smitty there with them.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

There’s always next year

 

[RUEd]

That wild pitch from Pounders was almost comical it missed by that much. Wtf?

 

[Knight Shift]

Time for Gsellman to go.

 

[shields]

Gsellman stinks.

Best 1 -2 punch since Lenny"with teeth" and Wally!!!

 

[Knight Shift]

Speaking of Lenny, why is Cano in the 3 SLOT? He's slow, and prone to hit into double plays. Why not move Conforto up to 3?

 

[Knight Shift]

It was so comical, the rookie Cubs pitcher copied it. Cano did not look amused. Oh, and he grounded out to second--big surprise. 3 out of 4 at bats are ground outs, one being a double play.

 

[RU4Real]

My observation now is that firing the pitching coaches does not necessarily improve the pitching staff.

An 82 year old Regan trotting off the pitcher's mound showed after a visit showed more life than the young Mets pitching staff. Can the Mets put Regan in the pen?

 

[RUforJERSEY]

I read somewhere recently that the Mets were floating the idea of moving Conforto to CF, McNeil to right and using Dom Smith and Davis in a defacto platoon in left. They need to do it although it would lessen the OF defense. Smith needs more playing opportunities. He got it and was thriving when both Cano and McNeil were out, but now it's just the occasional at bat.

 

[tico brown]

As long as Lagares is not in the lineup.

 

[Knight Shift]

As long as Lagares is not in the lineup.

C'mon. He's batting over .200 in June. He's trending in the right direction!

His batting average is worse than the collective batting average of the Mets starting pitchers.

Today you get your wish!

 

[Zak57]

We don't care about defense and we wonder why our pitching also sucks.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Cool. Now just flip him and Cano in the lineup. .233 and .341 hmmmmm let's see Mickey. :chairshot:

Am I asking for 2 much now?

Put Cano in the bullpen. Can he be any worse than Gsellman or Familia?

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

82 years old. Was 14 and 1 in Koufax last year .Won most games coming out of the pen for Sandy and Big Don Drysdale.And kept the 69Cubs in the race until the Mets blew past At times unhittable with a super funky motion.Mets are shot.

 

[superfan01]

82 year old pitching coach. Have him coach a bunch of 25 year old kids who mostly don’t speak English. Does the vulture even own a smartphone or know what one is. Another Mets disaster.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

In other breaking news Nixon has resigned and Saturday Night Live premiers on NBC. :cool2:

He is the INTERIM coach, sparky. Settle down.

 

[Knight Shift]

Is Bobby Bowden or Ralph Friedgen willing to serve as the interim head coach of a fledgling B1G East football team?

 

[Knight Shift]

Nido goes headhunting and almost takes out Vargas on throw to 2nd. What a clown show.

Cano's agent makes all line-up decisions.

I have noticed @FELONIOUSMONK is usually 12-15 hours behind on his news. Then starts a thread like it’s breaking news.
Love the guy.

 

[T2Kplus10]

The Mets are also looking into firing MC and replacing him with Sparky Anderson.
