Mets 2024 Season

The good news is the Mets got 3 times as many hits last night as the night before, the bad news is they made as many errors as they had hits. Yeah, I know Alonso’s lousy throw was not technically an error but……….just another very soft loss.
 
Baty for DH--made one of the top 5 "bloopers" of the season (if not the #1). Not really a "hot corner" guy.

If they don’t win the next two games, it’s time to sell. Everyone except Alonso, Lindor, Alvarez, Nimmo, Baty should be made available. I would trade Alonso but the price would be comparable to Soto.

Vientos and Maurico should be playing every day after the deadline.

Let’s get some pitching prospects, use Cohen’s money to maximize return, and move on. I appreciate his ambition to win a World Series right away, but we’re paying the price for the Wilpons and BVV’s mismanagement over the last decade by having no pitching prospects in the pipeline. We cannot win by paying free agents every summer, need to focus on building the right way.

I said they weeks ago. My only concern is we won’t get good enough prospects in return. If we eat the salaries we need too 5 level prospects.
 
Jesus staff is at the game with the team and we score 5 runs already biggest 1st inning of the season.

Is there anything the Pitino factor can’t do ?
 
We know Alvarez will be a monster, but let him Baty play through the mistakes. He has a nice swing, and plays a solid third (of course we are aware of a couple of bloopers).

If this season continues down this path, the least we can hang our hats on is the development of young position players.

Such a 2023 Mets game. You can’t even trust them at 11-4. The only thing different was that they “held on”.

Reminds me of the old story about the 1962 Mets. Guy is at a bar. He asks another guy how’d the Mets do? The guy says they scored 10 tonight! The guy looks over at him and says yeah but did they win?

The other version of this is a guy at the boxing match. I think Jimmy Breslin came up with this. Nothing ever comes easy.

2023 difference was a win. Have to feel Coach Pitino was the key
 
Showing some signs of life, but the math is hard. They need to go at least 42-25 the rest of the way to have any chance and even that might not be enough.

If Quintana can be solid, they do have a shot when 1-4 is pitching, so you never know.
 
We also have a tough stretch coming up. We get the AL east and the Braves. They need to rack up wins versus KC and the Nats. The Cubs series could very well eliminate one of these teams.
 
I really liked his signing still a chance he can make a difference but hard without spring training
 
Quintana didn’t look good in ST. Of course he was injured. Quintana hasn’t really done great in his rehab starts. The velocity seemed down. Coming off an injury and very little ST I am not expecting much. Wish I could be optimistic maybe he’ll surprise. Fingers crossed.

Looks good through five most of the hits early were not hard contact. Throws strikes.

Don’t get to use to him. Andy Martino is reporting that teams have contacted the Mets about trading for him. He might not be here too long. Multiple scouts were at today’s game.

Bigger issue is what the hell is going on with Pete Alonso? His season has turned into a nightmare.

As to Pete, the injured wrist might have needed more time to really heal.

Agree, but he has lost the discipline of working the pitcher for good pitches to hit but is not alone, for whatever reason the whole team has almost from opening day. In a lot of ways they have reverted to a home run or nothing team, the team that worked pitchers for those 30+ pitch innings just disappeared.
