Mets 2024 Season

Rising up my list of favorite Mets of all time. When I was a kid, Cliff Floyd was my GOAT, it'll be hard to displace him as my all time favorite Met, but I just love everything about Lindor. His personality, his joy when playing the game. He has a few plays in the field every week that make your jaw drop. Hitting wise, he has ups and downs, sometimes his trigger happy approach at the plate can frustrate me, but you can't deny the results this year since he was moved to leadoff. And to top it all off, he has multiple clutch moments this season that stick out in my mind.

Lindor has been like a few of our players throughout the history of the team. A lightning rod. Like Strawberry and Piazza. We “need” them to succeed. When they play well we love them. When they fail they get torched by fans. Sometimes you just have to be patient. Also, no one singular player can carry the whole load on a baseball team. They all have peaks and valleys.

I remember when Piazza came. A nice first game against the Brewers but then he struggled. Fans were debating (crazy right) whether they should resign him. Just imagine if he left. OMG alright! We would have killed them for letting him go. He made it all moot by tearing the cover off the ball. Lindor is heading on a similar trajectory. Let’s hope so. He’s gonna be here a long time.
 
Lindor x2! Mets lead 7-1. I have to eat some serious crow on Peterson. Hated on him coming into this season. Wasn’t a fan. He’s been great this year

Unfortunately the Braves won tonight and just don’t seem to f’n lose anymore
 
Baseball is such a weird sport. Mets now 5-1 vs a good Padres team. They were playing great until the Mets showed up. A win today would be 3/4 and that would be more than I dreamed of. Splitting would have been considered acceptable before this series. Now it’s more treading water. Problem is Quintana has been aweful. Perez pitching for Friars is also a weak link. Mets need to score early and often to have a chance.
 
Playing with house money today. Quintana gives me little hope for success. Nunez return last night was very special and bodes well for home stretch. Lindor continues to impress but not just his offense; love his defense and take charge focus which works because of his hitting--definitely our MVP to date.

It’s just what the Mets are; it is a waste of time IMO projecting anything based on the opponents quality, or lack of. And not just this year.
 
Gotta give credit to Quintana today. It’s been a struggle for him lately and given the stakes this was probably his best start of the season.

Now bullpen needs to finish this *gulp*

Vientos' 162 game pace would have him at 40 home runs, 110 rbi's, 40 doubles.

Outside of possibly/probably Lindor, he has been the Mets best hitter for a while now. What I like is he has gone through a couple of “down” times, as every hitter does, but unlike many rookies, he has righted himself pretty quickly after each of them.

Braves lost. Diamondbacks down.

Shaping up to be a big opportunity

Diamondbacks came back again to win, they are very tough offensively, obviously. Not sure they have the pitching once playoffs come but they have scored 32 more runs than the Yankees, who have scored the second most in the majors.
 
Butto’s escaped trouble in the last but his control issues are a bit alarming. Darling mentioning his arm angle was interesting
 
If we come up short in this wild card race, that’ll be one of the main losses I remember.

That and the loss in the rubber match against the A’s stick out as the two awful losses down the stretch here that shouldn’t have happened
