New York Mets 2025 Season

Will be interesting to see how we do in Boston, don’t think we played well this weekend at all. Even the win yesterday we kinda had to just scratch it out

The schedule is interesting. 9 games coming up soon against Rockies/White Sox, so a lot of opportunities for wins

But also play the dodgers 7 times in that stretch too

Also despite the Alvarado suspension, Philly fans I talk to are really starting to feel themselves. They had a prospect start his first game today and apparently he was great. Obviously we will have our hands full to win the division, which is my goal for this team
 
Soto had one hit the whole series and dare I say he appeared somewhat intimated from all the booing and jeering IMO. He is a great player and will be great for the Mets but expected more from him this series.
 
The baseball season is a long and winding road of ups and downs. Relax. Remember when we “buried” the Fillies? Now they are but a 1/2 game back.The Braves are just 5 games back. This is not to make everyone nervous. In fact, quite the opposite. We still have over 100 games left. They aren’t handing rings and putting up banners tomorrow. They’ll be playing another game in Boston.

And as of this morning we are tied with the Dodgers for the second best record in baseball and the best in the NL. Lots of baseball to be played and likely close all season. Hopefully we will be playing our best baseball at the end of the season like last year. The way the playoffs are structured now you need to get in and anything can happen.

He has that look about him, a guy who just got paid big big money and is kind of resting on his laurels. Not hustling on that grounder to second last night late in the game was a bad look

I feel like the closest comparison I have in my mind is when Bryce Harper signed his big deal with Philly. His first season there was shaky for the first couple months, he didn’t really have his “welcome to the team” moment until August when he hit a walk off grand slam against the cubs. I think with Soto he will obviously get there eventually
 
Soto will be fine. It is May and the Mets are in first. A three game series in May, do not a season make. Relax and enjoy this team.
 
The defense is my only true, overarching concern. Vientos has no track record of being an okay defender -- in the minors or majors. Soto has been uninspiring, to say the least. I think Stearns put Mendoza in an impossible roster management spot. We have: Winker -- who is on the IL conveniently but can't play much OF, Marte -- Soto's best buddy on the team but also can't play much OF (or hit), Vientos, and even Nimmo, who can use some of the half-days off. Its tricky, and may have to result in tough decisions in July.

The hitting with RISP seems particularly flukey. I think we will eventually go on a tear and the numbers even out. I'd prefer to have the flukey non-hits now, instead of later.

Bullpens are notoriously hot and cold. Minter loss hurts. Buttressing the lefties with Raley a couple of months ago may pay more dividends than anyone expects down the line, but I am sure we'll figure out what to do.
