2022 Mets

[mjmaherjr]

Yes, we could add the number 27 to the Powerball as well!
What do you guys think of the trade for Ruf? JD went to San Fran.

Doesn't initially sound sexy but he crushes LHP. Absolutely crushes. I think he has 9 home runs in 100 at bats vs LHP or something like that so if we weren't going to get a big time bat then looks like with Vogs vs righties this isnt a bad option. I hated the Dogs trade but that's working out well so far

Just found this on Rufs stats this year

Ughh got cut off vs lefties also 257 BA and .364 obp

 

[MainMan]

Some potentially good small moves but underwhelming to say the least.

This is like in 2015 we got Nick Johnson and Juan Uribe but DIDNT get Cespedes.

All comes down to DeGrom’s health at this point.

 

[mjmaherjr]

deGrom is throwing more 100s than Monte at a strip club tonight

 

[MainMan]

And the Mets are playing a typical DeGrom game, no offense and a terrible bullpen.
Something's don't change.

I thought the same thing--he can sue them for non-support.

 

[BrooklynRed]

Davis is an interesting pick up--pitched for Buck for 4 years in Baltimore so he must have had some input

We can only hope.

I think that Uncle Steve is thinking "If it's not broken then don't fix it!".

 

[braintrust]

Platoon at DH with Vogelbach v Righties; Huf v Lefties...SNY had a stat that showed the two-headed DH has over 20 HRs and 50 RBIs...one month to September, two months to playoffs.

It's an audition for PT in left field, 3B and 2B...McNeil fills one spot...Guillorme is tough to sit...Canna, Escobar have earned innings.

 

[MainMan]

Still can't believe we didn't upgrade offensively at catcher.

Nido is a great backup, Mazieka is a minor leaguer and McCann has been an injured bust.

Maybe we can put Vogs behind the plate. Will give catchers a big target

On the other hand if you’re not getting better you’re getting worse

Especially when your division rivals got better. Really surprised that The Mets did not better upgrade the pen. Let's hope for the best.

 

[Fizzy]

For the Mets to not improve their pen in any shape equals huge problems. Yeah deGrom is a key but he's not going more that 7 if even that far. Ottovino has looked good but man they needed at least 2 relievers and missed out.

I think they couldn't really get involved to deep with teams is that their minors are pretty bad after Alvarez, Mauricio and Baty.

 

[Andrew]

Big home run by the big boy today.

 

[gregbodkin]

Can we give Givens back? We really got screwed on that deal! What a horrible ending to an otherwise immaculate game. Lugo should NOT have had to pitch today
On to the big series!

 

[sjc88]

Good road trip 5-1. I have to give Givens a little slack but that was terrible. Hopefully just 1st game, new team jitters. We’ll see. Up 3 1/2 that’s good.

I was at game in Miami this weekend for Saturday night W. JD Davis final HR for the Mets. LOL. Lindor hit absolute bomb. I had great seats between home plate and Mets dugout. I’ve been to games here before. Ok stadium. MJ would be pleased full AIR CONDITIONING!
