New York Mets 2025 Season

Maybe intentionally walk Judge here with nobody on lol?

Wooo! Much needed win and stress free from Diaz for a change!

Mets win! Subway series tied up. Acuña once again proving how valuable he is. Lindor didn’t even get great wood on that sac fly, but it was never gonna be close with the speed we had on 3rd

Great win. Let’s get one more tomorrow

Excellent old fashioned hardball game. 3-2 good guys win. Skankees Lose.

can't say anything bad about Diaz. To quote a famous poem--There is no joy in Yankeeville....The mighty Judge has struck out!

Kent and Mitchell were clearly steroids. The Bay area is the PED capital led by the Stanford and Cal labs.

Even over the last 5-7 years the Giants have been able to get some very suspicious results from older players.

I never really thought about Mitchell and steroids. You are likely right, however he was already becoming a good player in 1986 as a 23 year old so it was still a very bad trade. Howard Johnson had a career year in 1989 also, so was he on steroids. Impossible to know. After McGwire's rookie year in 1987 it gets very confusing.

Highlights the problem with the Mets approach to pitching. This is a playoff team we have depth in the rotation. Question is who do we trust when facing a Dodgers or Phillies lineup when we are facing say a Yamamoto or Wheeler? Megill? Canning? Peterson? Manaea? etc. Mets need to answer that question or we might be facing a good but not good enough ending again.

Tonight Is a good example. Peterson vs Fried.

wow Jose Alvarado of the Phils 80 game PED suspension and won’t be able to pitch in the playoffs

Hojo’s stats are within a more narrow range over a longer time. He hit 36-38 3x followed separated by a slight dip into the 20s. He never hit more than 10 homers after his age 30 season.

Guys Mitchell and Brady Anderson came out of nowhere to hit 47 and 50, respectively, and never came close before or after.

Jeff Kent made all of his 5 all star games between 31-37 which is not a natural aging — and did it beside Barry Bonds in SF (same place Mitchell hit 47).
