Mets 2024 Season

The problem with our prospect list is that Williams, Gilbert and Mauricio are all injured. In fact Williams and Mauricio are missing pretty much ALL of 2024. Gilbert? Who knows. He was “suppose” to be back in early June and since we are in July and we haven’t seen him is troubling.

Just imagine, Mauricio was really starting to show a little promise in the bigs and poof a huge setback. Frustrating.

I'm obviously not saying this to disagree. I think the lack of pitching development the last ten years is the reason why the team's been so up and down.

But in the short-term, we can look forward to:
Bryce Montes de Oca. He is finally healthy and in AAA. He was expected to be a major part of the bullpen last year, and will be up soon enough. He throws 102...

Eric Orze. He has an incredible story of battling back from cancer. Apparently team is high on him.

It's crazy to think we could've lost Nunez from the Rule 5 draft but his injury made him come back to us. Guy looks like a stud.

I also think the Mets should convert MeGill back to a reliever. It was a success story to make him a big league starter. But, unless he can harness his stuff consistently in Syracuse, the Mets need him to take on a Seth Lugo role with this team for years to come & give us 2 innings out of the pen.

We tried it briefly in 2022 when he came back from an injury. Worth another try.
 
Well at least our brain surgeon closer only has two more games in his suspension. Keep in mind he claims he won’t “change a thing”.

Doesn’t solve anything as he is almost as unstable as the rest of them. Diekman should be the next to go upon Diaz’s return. Maybe jettisoned into the sun would be appropriate.
 
As soon as he came in, I knew the game was over. If he appears in 58 games, his contract guarantees for next year so I hope he's gone asap
 
And yet another “right from jump street” bullpen failure. Does the Mets bullpen EVER throw a scoreless inning?
Obviously the offense pretty much couldn’t have been worse but still……

My internet stream goes down right as the bottom of the eighth started. By the time I get the damn thing up it’s a 1-0 loss. Imagine sitting through that poor offensive showing and not seeing our magical bullpen give it up. Oh well. If I didn’t see it did it really happen?

Good news was I had to grill for a house full of people. So at least the disaster was over before it began. I want to go to someone else’s bbq it sounds like more fun. 🤩
 
True pitchers duel and for most of the day seemed like no one would score . Nimmo gets the big hit we are up 1-0 and With Nunez and the Diaz I’m thinking. We’re good. Nope we choke it away.

Then Chapman does Diaz like things. Mets had some great ABs (Alvarez, Bader, Iglesias) and finally Lindor. Wow. Feels good to see them pull it out. Second most comeback wins in baseball. Team hasn’t given up. That’s good. I’m sick of “selling”.

Agree. I’m a hard no to selling right now
 
Two of the last 3rd Wild Card teams have made the World Series from the NL. You just never know what can happen in October. Just need a couple of arms

Why take your starter out after he got two quick outs to start the inning? Our bullpen gives up 5 runs before they can get the last out. Terrible

Neither the new GM or manager have done a thing to impress me; they certainly deserve a fair chance but my first impression of both is just an indifferent shrug, same old, same old.
