The Official 2022 Mets Thread

I'll tell you what. It's gotten to be a sideshow to watch them make a starting pitcher rack up the pitch counts like they do. 72 pitches in 4 innings. 32 pitch first innings. 8-9-10 pitch at bats. What a fun friggin weekend of baseball. Wow.

Yeah that aspect is great to watch. 100% coaching and incredibly effective and frustrating to the other pitcher.

Vogelbach scoring from 1st was glorious icing on the cake

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I mean, c'mon, how cool is this?



Hoping to make it out to the game Wednesday, weather pending...

Feel like this series should silence any doubters, this team is legit. Still a long way to go and I bet the Braves still make it interesting but this team showed they belong with the best

They are the best, if healthy the Mets should absolutely be the favorites to win the World Series.

Wow group of real winners. Dumb ATL fan got held up for a 2 on 1 how’d that work out?

Not. Good.

Don’t like to see that.

Nope not at all.

What happened? Checked a bunch of the beat writer accounts and can't find anything mildly concerning

I only saw a report that the guy got knocked out. Obviously got popped pretty good after flailing.

I was just commenting because I don’t like to see physical violence in the stands, no matter the provocation.

Ah I see now, Mau has had me on ignore for about 3 years now so didn't see you were responding to anyone. I was assuming an injury or something

Well that was another nice series! Good to see no letdown after the Braves.

Bummed that we will miss Syndergaard (again) in the upcoming Phillies series. Heading in for the Sunday matinee for my first game this season, so I will miss Max and Jake, but I have no qualms with Bassitt.

You gotta go in for a Mad Max start if you haven't already. He's a pitcher you'll talk about seeing live once he's retired.

I brought my youngest daughter to see one of Jake’s starts last season for exactly that reason. I will be back again this season. I was supposed to see Max for his rehab start in Hartford and was ticketed for the game, but they switched him to the next night literally a couple hours before the game. This weekend’s game is for the purpose of bringing my oldest daughter and her boyfriend and they both work on Friday and Saturday nights, so the Sunday matinee was best for all of us.

I went yesterday with my daughter. Park looked to be about 80%+ filled for a Wednesday matinee against the Reds. In the first inning, you watched them work this rookie pitcher into 3-1 counts and he had no answers. They hit liners off him all over the park and were just SURGICAL with an easy 10-2 win.

And Danny Burgers is already a Mets legend.

So you saw Vogelsnack walk up to "Milkshake." Awesome. My oldest daughter just moved to Queens and she turned me on to the Gametime app for buying tickets (which is what I used for Sunday's game), and she said the cheap seats were going for $3 yesterday. She couldn't get to the game because she had to work, but she's gone for $10 earlier this season.

Anything new of interest for food or drink selections? Where were your seats?

I tend to be a bit picky about my seats and really like being low down in the 300s directly behind home plate. Great perspective, cover from the elements and club access with much shorter food, drink and restroom lines. Obviously not the cheap seats, but the app was great for scoring a huge discount. It's a bit addicting because the prices and inventory fluctuate quite a bit and drop precipitously when Gametime approaches, but by then the seats in those sections are usually gone.

I sure did. It’s been cool to see my daughter connect to this team too. I was her age in 86 and while I was a much bigger fan prior, I know the buzz of a really fun team.

She got us the tickets and we always sit low in LF “to catch an Alonso HR”. There is also a pretty cool SNY video moment I’m a part of that makes that section hit close to home.

I’ll be there on Saturday. It being deGrom day really offsets no game tonight.

 

[husky8273]

like DeGrom in years past, Scherzer has received little support.

Since his return on 7/5, 4 no decisions in which he gave up a total of 3 earned runs.

8 starts - 52 IP, 67K, only 8 ER, 3-1 W/L.

 

[8893]

If McNeil and Escobar have to miss tonight I wonder if we see a Baty call-up.

 

[navery12]

 

[lavuuk153]

This deGrom fella is pretty good. In the 108.2 innings he’s pitched between last year and this year, he has struck out 174 and allowed 59 base runners.

 

[8893]

Well that was a fun day at the park!

Bassitt had a lot of traffic but he handled it masterfully. And of course it’s nice to have a lot of run support, including a sweet Vogelsmack!

Nice to hang the L on Zack, too.

Felt like a great big party there today.

I was in Saratoga all weekend at the races and wore my Mets hat both days. I've never had the amount of people yell "Go Mets" or something similar like they did this weekend. There's a definite vibe right now.

And when the bugler played the Diaz Timmy Trumpet/Narco entrance song in the concourse, there was a mini-roar. Good times to be a Mets fan.
