OT: NY Mets Season

[Knight Shift]

BLOWvins.

 

[Knight Shift]

Bullpen is not the BLOWpen.
Jacob Lame making BLOWvins looik like the Sandman.

 

[Knight Shift]

Why leave Lame in the Game when he is getting shelled?

Why leave Lame in the Game when he is getting shelled?

I know it worked out, but, if you're not going to use Gsellman, why warm him up? EDIT: OK I get it. Gsellman is the closer tonight. They might have used him for a four out save, but once Rhame gave up the lead, they sat him down.

By Sandman, you mean Billy Wagner, right?

 

[RUforJERSEY]

And there goes another one Mickey.

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

Fire Mickey

 

[RUforJERSEY]

He just throws roster fill-ins out there in key spots like these games are meaningless.

 

[Doctor Worm]

What else was he going to do? The problem is that his bullpen is populated with roster fill-ins.

When you play two the day before, get two innings out of your starter in the second game, then three innings out of your starter tonight... and your pen isn't that good to begin with... you don't have a lot of good options.

If only Robles could pitch every day.[winking]

Maybe save the more experienced guys for the tight late game situations and take a risk on the youngsters being able to get you there. Surely he's not making the right call much these days.

 

[tico brown]

THE CURSE OF BERNIE MADOFF AND JOSE REYES... It's to the point where the Mets can have a 15-1 lead and you know they're going to lose.

I should be on the DL for giving the Mets the finger every day for the last month.

 

[tico brown]

The Mets bullpen have 11 Blown Saves. They would be in first place if you cut that in half.

This is what happens when you go cheap on players.

 

[shields]

You knew when Rhame came in he would blow the lead.

 

[Knight Shift]

Looking at the box score, thought that Jose Bautista got the loss. Maybe he would have had a better chance of holding down the 9th.

 

[RuBird]

Those who say Fire Mickey I hope they mean Alderson too. Managers look like geniuses with better players around them.

 

[shields]

Alderson needs to go, pitcher from minor leagues we bring up that JP kid. Yuck.

Please call back Omar from Latin America scouting, and get him to right the ship. Also, give Bobby V a call, this team doesn't need the manager blowing kisses, they need some tough love. I liked it better when Bobby V had the whole league hating us. Now they love us,lol.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Please finish up with the Braves so I can go back to not being able to watch you bums play. Lol

 

[Knight Shift]

While yesterday's loss was painful, the Mets showed a lot of mettle playing with a depleted roster and scoring 6 runs. Unfortunately, the bullpen is the weak link, which may now be surpassed by starting pitching, which is heavily depleted due to injuries. The suggestion that the players on the field last night need to be "better" seems a bit off base. Maybe that applies to pitching, in particular the bull pen.
The shame of it all is the Mets can never seem to put up more than 1 or 2 runs when de Grom pitches.

 

[Knight Shift]

Tim Peterson on his way from Las Vegas for bullpen help.

[ruready4somefootball_rivals]

Some of the players Omar drafted,any look familiar?https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/omar-minaya

 

[BigEastPhil]

Any pitcher with goggles on doesnt invoke fear. Lol

 

[ruready4somefootball_rivals]

I was hoping it was Sandy being let go and a new GM picked, just like what the Vatican does when it has a new Pope. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Citi-Field-Fire-Flames-Smoke-Queens-484091111.html

 

[RUtix4me]

Fresh video (for real) of the Mets Bullpen (not for real).

 

[RUtix4me]

Oh yeh its real and mildly spectacular.

[tico brown]

Maybe it was an old burial ground...
Or the baseball gods are saying SELL THE TEAM!!!

 

[Doctor Worm]

Mets bullpen makes a line change:

IN:

• Tim Peterson (as reported by Knight Shift)- 27 year old rookie, former 20th round pick in 2012. You won't find him on any Met top prospect lists. These are guys I find myself rooting for, but I'm not sure that they are guys who win you championships.
• Buddy Baumann - 30 year old journeyman LOOGY who will hopefully lower his Met ERA of 19.29.
• Scott Copeland - another 30 year old journeyman whose MLB experience consists of five games for the Jays in 2015.

OUT:

• Jacob Rhame - optioned to Vegas. He'll be back eventually.
• Phillip Evans - ditto and ditto.
• P.J. Conlon - DFA'd (he had previously been optioned but now he's bye-bye).

SO... Mets are now going with a 14 man staff - nine man bullpen and three man bench. I wonder if that's a first.

And someway, somehow Jose Reyes is still on this team.

 

[Doctor Worm]

One other thing. Steven Matz is day-to-day. But then, aren't we all?

Vargas, for once, was pitching a gem. Mickey Mouse pulls him after 5 innings and 65 pitches. Brilliant!!!

Vargas has not been stretched out on pitch counts yet this year. Honestly good for his psyche not giving up a run. Although Peterson give up a HR, I like what I see.

I just want to laugh sometimes.

 

[RU4Real]

When they trade the team 757 for a DC-3 we'll know for sure what's going on.

 

[RuBird]

Vargas= Stopper?
Gsellman= Closer?

Who new?

 

[shields]

Thank goodness, and Rosario a couple of big hits.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

There is hope with the ongoing improvement of some of the young hitters. Nimmo looks like a better hitter than Conforto right now.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Extend Mickey.

 

[Knight Shift]

I just want to laugh sometimes.

The jinx laughs at us both. Nice win tonight. Nimmo is finding himself and Rosario is coming alive. LGM
