Mets 2024 Season

Every game is the same. Offense mashes to a sizable lead and bullpen almost pisses it all away. The good news the majority of the time the emphasis is on “almost”. Stearns has to find a couple of ML reasonably priced arms. I gotta believe someone is looking to dump some salary somewhere. This is beyond ridiculous how bad some of these bullpen guys have been.

its comical at this point... their turn-around has had to make mgmt "buyers" at this point... hopefully we get 1 reliable arm that can sustain a lead post 5th inning...
 
Unfortunately it seems like this will not be a great season for Diaz. Any improvement would be huge because if Cohen is willing to invest in a couple of better relievers we still need Diaz to close games out. Butto and Nunez look solid to date.

So happy with Vientos, Alavarez, Nimmo, Lindor and the OMG guy. Honestly the whole offense outside of McNeil. Hopefully a good start for Scott today.
 
Scott with another very up and down showing, my impression of him is the same I had last year of Baty, an Al McGuire airport player.

But Bhutto and Nunez combined for the best bullpen outing of the year……👍

I’m fine with what Scott has done this year, a 4.3 era from a 25 yr old rookie.

Next year we lose all the 10mil+ one year rentals- Severino, hauser, Manaea, Quintana.
And the huge contracts still on our 24 books come off- verlander, scherzer
We’re paying 3 catchers in 24 no longer on team-McCann nido & narvaez

Plenty of room to sign 2 big bats

I don’t think we must sign a top starter this winter- I’m fine with
1) senga
2) peterson
3) Scott
4) Butto
5). a 1 yr rental ?
Top depth- Sproat & Tidwell, but they both could make team in ‘25.
**** depth behind them:
Megill, Jarvis

Then we just disagree, he looks better than he pitches, he’s 25 years old and on a pitch count, struggles to even go 5.
Now, that’s my first impression and no way I will say I couldn’t be wrong but I have seen nothing to think he is more than a journeyman in the making.

Not saying he’s a #1-2 in the making, but you mentioned innings-
Mets starters innings/start 2024:
Severino. 6.1
Quintana 5.3
Manea. 5.3
Peterson. 5.4
Scott. 5.4

Scott is 25, Peterson is 28, above other 3 are 30+. Scott on an innings watch
because it’s July 13 & he’s already matched his 2023 tot innings (incl AAA)

Manaea is signed unless he opts out. He’d be passing up $13.5 million to do so. I don’t see it. Houser is only making $5.5 million for 1 year.
 
Correct on hauser.
At this rate no way manaea doesn’t opt out. He’s having best year in his career. If he opts out of 13.5,
at this rate he gets 50 mil+ over 3 years ( I’d love to get him back on Mets in 25 for that)

I was talking Scott, I never mentioned any other Met pitcher, if that is your bar, that is your bar, it is not mine.
 
Quick research on 2024 MLB pitching stats:
Of the 50+ MLB pitchers who have started 19+ games this year,
Approx 1/3 average 6 or more innings.

I’m a die hard met fan for 55+ years ( went to a ‘69 WS game)
I love watching the young players develop & come up & give them room to grow
(Last year I took in a Syracuse & Binghamton game)

I agree, Scott has a lot of room to grow & improve. I’m fine w an innings limit this year

If Sean Manaea can get get that money I’d wish him luck.

Maybe you’re right but I don’t see it. He’s far too erratic. We’ll see. Anybody’s guess.

He gives up far too many homers.
 
Always interests me when few if anyone cares about the MLB Draft. Hard to follow because unlike football or basketball there is very little coverage of college baseball. I guess we’ll see Carson Benge in 3-4 years as he was a college player.
