The Official 2019 Mets Thread

[8893]

As an aside, did you notice how hammered Hundley was?

 

[8893]

Dodgers have clinched. Mets need every win. Momentum to the Mets. Maybe, just maybe.....they're catching the Dodgers at the perfect time. The Dodgers simply can't have the same sense of urgency on every at bat at this point, right here, right now.

Unfortunately the Dodgers are playing with a lot more urgency tonight.

Well they avoided the sweep and deGrom didn’t get the win (shocking). A win tomorrow and I feel like they’ve got a punchers chance to make the playoffs.

This was a big win tonight, puts the floor at 4 games tomorrow which was my hope. Hopefully tomorrow we get some breaks with the early games and a real lineup tomorrow night

13 left.

How many do they need to win to make the playoffs.

10 probably doesnt get it done. 11-2 would give them a shot.

 

[whaler11]

The Reds have are 41 runs better than the Brewers and 11 games behind them.

11-2 if the Cubs play .500 which would get the Mets to 88 wins

yeah 11-2 gives them a chance - 10-3 probably doesnt. 12-1 probably gets them a wild card

I'm looking at all the team's schedules and it's gonna be real tough. Lots of games with the Cubs/Cards and Cards/Nats and I don't even know what the best outcome for any of those are

thats easy. you want the cardinals to win every game.

pretty much 3 losses and the mets are done. if they win 11 of 13 they have a shot.

 

[8893]

if they win 11 of 13 they have a shot.

Would you believe 11 of 12?
[in my best Maxwell Smart voice]

 

[8893]

8 of 8?

 

[navery12]

8-0 and 3-4 from the Brewers will get it done

 

[the Q]

either way it’s a good start for next year. Desperately need to add a real cf and turn domnsmith into a Better fitting asset

 

[navery12]

Re-sign Wheeler, sign Puig or Ozuna, get some bullpen help and that's a playoff team next year

Neither of those guys solves a major problem in the OF.

Need a true cf imo. I’d be curious to see a jbj trade for the Mets. Red Sox are going to slash some payroll.

I'm more than fine with Conforto in CF though. Want absolutely nothing to do with JBJ and there's no good CF who's a FA. JBJ is just another Juan Lagares clone.

Corner OF or 3B (with McNeil or Davis filling the other one) is the logical add for the big bat they need. Those types are out there in FA this year

The metrics show he’s awful in center.

There is also the trade market. But that’s just a major hole that needs to get fixed.

Yeah the metrics aren't good but I'd still take that 100 times out of 100 over another black hole in the lineup with good defense

what are your assumptions for Rosario and Cespedes in your plans?

 

[navery12]

I like Rosario, have some confidence in him as the starting SS now after his good 2nd half. Cespedes might as well not exist, they shouldn't count on anything from him. Anything they get from him is a bonus

 

[navery12]

RIP in pieces

 

[whaler11]

classic mets not allowed to have nice things

 

[the Q]

Dom Smith to CF is the most Mets move ever.

 

[Klipper]

Dom Smith to CF is the most Mets move ever.

He will never get a jump on the ball. Balls will go over his head, between his legs and possibly right thru him!

 

[Deepster]

Other than the two WS wins, is Alonso’s homer tonight the third best moment in Mets history? 4th?

Santana’s no hitter? Piazzas post 9/11 HR?

It’s gotta be top 5, no?

I think it's outside the top 5 probably, but barely. WS wins are top 2, I'd probably put Piazza 9/11 HR, Endy's catch in 2006, Johan no hitter ahead too

No doubt a top 10. Top 6.
I don’t think it gets a top 5 but I can see it replacing Endy’s catch and moving in there.

 

[Deepster]

I thought of Endy's catch, but a) it was a moment, not a moment that was a culmination of a bigger thing and b) they didn't win the WS. I think it's a highlight.
