New York Mets 2025 Season

[guinness77]

The way the Mutts are playing that is setting a pretty high bar.

I’m trying the ol Gman reverse jinx

Can’t hit to save their lives. Don’t worry the metrics will all work out!

 

[gman]

Mendoza should punt a game and send a message by benching Lindor, Nimmo, Alonso and Soto. We can’t have our top 4 continue to suck. That bunch is way too streaky.

I’m so desperate to see something good, I tuned into the ninth of this Yankees game once I saw Stinky Phil Maton was getting the chance to close the door for the rangers

Thought maybe I’d get to see a vintage maton melt down and laugh at it. Nope, pretty clean inning. Secures the win rather easily.

And with that, the city of New York is a combined 1-9 in the month of August. Mets 1-4, Yankees 0-5. All the sudden, the city having zero October baseball isn’t even far fetched.

I hope this is rock bottom and things turn around

I feel like Will Ferrell in Elf compared to you guys. These problems seem very temporary.

This rough patch does seem like the team gathering itself for a long postseason run.

Sorry guys I’m away again. Last time 1-9. This time 1-7…so far. .

Good Lord I’d like to wake up just a few times where I feel good about the Mets.

I hope you’re right

What gives me anxiety (and probably isn’t worth doing) is I keep checking out our schedule for the rest of the year. A lot of playoff and playoff hopeful teams

The only “bad” teams we play are probably the Braves and nationals. And I don’t even have to say why those games don’t feel so easy either.

Bottom line, team needs to pick it up, at the plate, in the field… whole team just looks a little too lackadaisical for my liking. Time to pick up the intensity

We’re built for October, as long as the rotation and our stars hold up their end of the bargain. Holmes is a premium three inning October guy.

Just have to cross your fingers we get hot at the right time. I do think getting home field and a bye is very important, so I hope it doesn’t get out of reach.

We’re built for October....

gotta get there first...

Another nice 1-2-3 innings to start the game. The bats really need to wake up.

 

[Jack Williams]

4 guys just got ABs with a RISP. No one did anything

 

[dk423]

Me to everyone in this lineup:

 

[Jack Williams]

This team feels emotionally dead. There’s just no juice

 

[gman]

We might get no hit tonight. I think the fan will be more embarrassed than the team. Actually we have been no hit over the last 9 innings already…

 

[dk423]

Well, it's already been 10 innings.

Hope one of the hitting coaches don't make the trip, but doubt it.

 

[gman]

Geez we are getting no hit today.

Cohen needs to roll someone’s head after this.

 

[Jack Williams]

that Soto HR to break up the no no almost has me angry LOL. I had myself convinced the no hitter could be a wake up call. Now this is just a forgettable 4-1 loss

I agree 100%. No hitter might have changed some things.

Even in the modern game where pitchers are babied and allowed to get away with poor mechanics, you still need starters that go at least six innings, and hopefully seven. Only Peterson has done that with any kind of regularity. Montas is terrible and has been for years, Blackburn is one of the worst starting pitchers in MLB, Holmes is five innings max, and Senga is in a funk. Manama hasn’t been great either. We caught lightning in a bottle with Canning for a little while, but he was starting to regress when he got hurt. The decision to prioritize Montas over Quintana was a blunder.

My long-winded point is that the strategy of piecing together a starting rotation made up of a collection of 4 and 5 starters - which other than Senga is what we have - is a flawed strategy from the start. It worked to a degree last year, but the staff was on fumes by the Dodgers series because of overuse. This year it is coming apart before our eyes.

At this point I expect to see some of the young pitchers up in a couple of weeks. However, it might be too late by then.
