The Official 2022 Mets Thread

Why hasn’t Michael Conforto been signed yet? Is there no interest at all? Are his demands too high and he just won’t budge? I think the Mets were right letting him go and better with the new ads in his place but I’m surprised he’s still unsigned.

Conforto banged up his shoulder this winter, so I believe that Boras held off on the bidding process until he was 100%

That being said, I am quite surprised that someone has bit yet - he had a very strong stretch for us! I think his time ran its course here, but he could be a heck of a player somewhere else.

Nobody wants to give up the draft picks it'll take to sign him and give him the money he wants. At this point he may not sign until after the draft in July

It's starting to feel that way. We're so conditioned to wait for the other show to drop as Mets fans, but I'm starting to believe this team could really go places.

I like a lot of the youth and energy on the team and hope always springs eternal in Spring for me, but after last year's hot start I'm holding my enthusiasm in check.

@8893 that is true, but in 2015 we also had a great start and we made the World Series. Ya Gotta Believe, right?

100%. I am all in, despite being fully aware that this is always a possibility:

Did you watch the 9th inning last night? This team has a lot of 1986 in it. And Cahna reminds me a ton of Ray Knight at the plate. Doesn't give in, very smart situational hitter. He wouldn't let that team die last night.

Absolutely. I was watching intently and had resigned myself to the loss, figuring we were due.

Once Canha reached I was at the edge of my seat, thinking about Ron's earlier statement to the effect that, "If you want to have a special season, some nights you have to beat the other team's closer." I was worried we would pay when Jankowski didn't score on McNeil's double, but elated to see Dom reach with that ridiculous infield single. I'm still smiling picturing that awesome belly slide, followed immediately by McNeil doing the same at home plate.

I don't know how it was on your broadcast, but on my TV they returned from the commercial break after the change in pitchers right when Nimmo's HR was leaving the park, and I thought they were showing a replay of a different game because it seemed to come out of nowhere. Crazy how quickly the fortunes turned.

I haven’t watched the Mets snatch a game in the 9th like that in I don’t know how long. And while they looked psyched, they didn’t look surprised.

And just think. Nothing from DeGrom or walker so far.

So I'll continue to try and compare the makeup of this team to 1986 (hopefully minus the cocaine abuse). I loved seeing the benches clear and the fire from some of the players, especially Pete saying if he wanted to put people in the hospital, he could. The 1986 had a BUNCH of bench clearing brawls and didn't take anyone's and I feel like that was part of their fiber and what made them winners.

Thoughts? Is this a stretch?

It's a good mix of guys with some steel, including Bassit. Our HPB numbers are really out of whack.

Baez would have been great to keep on this team; fits well with what we have going.
 
It’s weird how I wasn’t as excited/nervous after 7 because it feels different when it’s not one guy. But the excitement came in the 8th then the awful nerves in the 9th.

If you’re a Mets fan and you’re not all the way, break my heart if you will level in after tonight? We can’t be friends.
 
And let’s not overlook this.

Tylor Megill is 4-0 and looking strong.
 
I love the Mets. As much as the Huskies. I'm still waiting for them to throw a no hitter
 
Nolan Ryan Tom Seaver David Cone Doc Gooden threw no hitters. No Met pitcher has. Santana's 1 hitter ruined his career.

So what the hell are you talking about here?

Santana threw a no-hitter in 2012, and last night was a combined no-hitter.

Was this just a bad joke or a drunken mistake?

He's implying a combined no hitter doesn't count and Santana gave up a hit so his doesn't count either. Interesting to say the least

Well that’s just silly, especially coming from someone who professes to be a Mets fan.

A combined no-hitter is actually much harder.
 
Another series win! So is today the last night we go to sleep with Robinson Cano as a Met?

I was watching without sound and saw a list of Mets that could be removed from the roster (either sent down or cut). What is driving that?

All teams have to reduce their rosters by two players on May 1.
