Mets 2024 Season
- Thread starter BrooklynRed
- Start date
I half agree with you. The other half of me thinks it was extremely unfair of the Mets to promote him after just 6 AAA games. The kid barely played minor league baseball to that point. Vientos has over 200 AAA games by comparison and like 112 before his brief debut.
David Wright, who flew through minors, played in 405 minor league games before his MLB debut. Baty played in just 241. He played in a combined 46 at AA and AAA.
The one thing that doesn't make sense to me is his lack of power. He's a big strong kid who can hit it 450 feet with ease. It's good to see he's finding some power in AAA.
Maybe someone could link to You Tube for the Iglesias video, OMG, post-game last night. A lot of fun for the players and fans.
at met games during rain delays He has electric stuff and he dominates the minors. He's pretty much the Brett Baty of the pitching staff.
I defer to you on the minor league performance, I haven't a clue but after watching him for four years in the majors, he has little at this level.
Pitching lowers the ceiling on this team. Leading MLB in walks is a sin.
Diekman and Garrett were not even close to the plate. Diekman’s K was fortuitous because the guy swung at three balls.
His splits are pretty crazy. He has a career ERA below 3.00 for March and April. Then he gets hurt and his ERA almost doubles in the middle of the season. He finishes relatively decent in September.
You’d think a kid that big would be more durable.
Why in the heck take Ottavino out after 6 pitches to bring in Matt Festa??? Who???? Main Man at least tell me he has electric stuff in the minors (just kidding)!
Ottavino has been generally terrible but……Matt Festa??? At least they gave him a chance to show his own terrible I guess

This guys throwing meat balls down the plate. The human white flag
Hopefully not a sign of things to come, the bullpen is just so weak and they have no starters that give them length.
I also don’t get Mendoza at times, Severino didn’t pitch great yesterday but after 7 innings he had thrown 79 pitches yet he gets yanked to go to a bullpen that doesn’t have anyone near his ability. Then you take out Ottavino after 6 pitches to go to a guy I never heard of who at least threw strikes, unfortunately pretty much all down the middle of the plate. At least for the Astros luckily they didn’t have much on them either.
They got hot for June but this is a bullpen game now and the Mets have one of the worst I’ve seen in a long time.
The Bull Pen sucks! and it is not just tonight. Ready to throw something at the TV
