Mets 2020 thread

I thought they were home. So this really is a strange situation. I hope he’s okay.

At the end of his career, they're going to show the numbers deGrom "could" have had when he gave 6+ IP with 0 or 1 runs allowed and it's going to make me puke. With even below average run support, he's looking at one of most dominant runs of our generation.

i admittedly hate the Mets but can't help but admire DeGromm. he is easily the best in the game. McNeil is another Met i would love to have - you just can't get that guy out.
 
I have no problems with a player opting out especially now but there has to be a better way to do it than how Cespedes did it.

Cespedes opting out for the season.

What a joke.

Can't imagine anyone touching him in Free Agency. Rumor has it that he was pissed at the mets about playing time, position in lineup not allowing him to meet performance metrics

Hope he enjoys his ranch

I will say. I saw he was batting sixth the other day and thought that was pretty low for him. Apparently he didn’t care for that.

He signed a 110m contract. He didn’t play for two years. And now opts out here in a contract year. I wonder how many millions he’s thrown away?

That’s the point.

To paraphrase Chico Esquela, the Mets have been berry, berry good to Cespedes. Unless there is more to the story, this seems pretty disrespectful, to put it mildly.

A bizarre day and an opt-out: What happened with Yoenis Céspedes and the Mets

The slugger had sought out teammates on Saturday night to say goodbye, but management was unaware of his intentions.
theathletic.com theathletic.com

In opting out, Céspedes is leaving money on the table. His pro-rated base salary for the season was $4.07 million, and he could have earned up to a total of $7.41 million with incentives tied to plate appearances. Through 10 games, Céspedes was on pace for 204 plate appearances and to earn $6.67 million this season, hitting all but the two highest-level incentives in his reworked contract. By opting out, he’ll earn about one-sixth of that initial base salary.

A source told The Athletic that Céspedes’ mother, who is in the United States, is ill, and his calculations for playing this season had changed given the outbreaks with other teams.

Thank you Jake for making it worth watching tonight. Seeing how pissed he was for giving up those runs was probably my favorite part.

And thank you Mets for giving the man some run support for once.

Saw this.....

Since 2018, deGrom is 21-17 in 66 starts. If he got 4 runs per game in support, he'd be 59-3 with 4 no decisions. Also, when he has a 4 run lead, he's 30-1 in his career.

Unfortunately, the Mets are 89-80 in his career starts.

I'm just glad that Dominic Smith will get everyday at bats, he's deserved them for a long time. I think once Stroman is back and they sort out the back end of the rotation this team can make a run. Of course now Cano, McNeil, AND Rosario are banged up so that doesn't help.

I think the bullpen will work itself out, Lugo will handle the lions share of the important outs.

deGrom just deserves so much better, that's the most frustrating piece of his career.
 
Stroman opting out now. He's a free agent at the end of the season, so he'll never throw another pitch for us.

Marcus Stroman becomes second Mets player to opt out of season

Marcus Stroman’s rehabbed left calf told him he could continue this season. The national pandemic told the Mets pitcher otherwise. Citing COVID-19 concerns, Stroman on Monday became the second Mets…

He’s injured anyways and Mets aren’t going anywhere.

He was coming back to the rotation this week, and the Mets are currently in a playoff spot. It's a big loss

This^

Our starting rotation was supposed to be our strength. Now it looks like we have only one legit starter.
 
Matz is simply not a quality starter.

Two positives:

Giminez

Piping in the crowd “Wilson” Phish cheer for Wilson Ramos’s at bats

I was just coming here to post about Giminez. Do you think we could slide Rosario to 3B? Pete-McNeil-Giminez-Rosario???

I like it, but I hate to admit that we can’t afford to sit Davis. His bat is too valuable and now he’s actually working hard at fielding 3B pretty well.

How bad does that Cano-Diaz deal look now though?

Not as bad as 3 years from now when Kellenic is the next Bryce Harper....
 
Oof. What a start. He may not get an out.
 
The Kellenic deal makes me throw up in my mouth every time I think about it.

Not to mention giving up Anthony Kay for literally nothing in the Stroman trade.. Not that I think he's great or anything, but with our rotation problems he'd be a decent #5 - him or Justin Dunn who wen to Seattle.

Dammit. Have time to watch some baseball this weekend, too. Thanks, Mets.
 
Luckily, nobody else in the organization has tested positive after the staff member and player did on Thursday. It looks like we're going to play ball tomorrow.
 
For no reason whatsoever, I have a good feeling about Lugo‘s start here.

Lugo's start = good.

Everything else = bad.
