The Official 2022 Mets Thread

Article on Barstool about Musgrove and being checked for substances last night. First off, his spin rate on all pitches were highly elevated and Buck checked out a ball early on in the game.

Article goes on to comment on how regular ol' sunscreen (is slippery) combined with rosin is super sticky....and Musgrove went to the rosin bag all night long. Like an interesting amount, especially considering it was a cool fall night and wasn't 95 and humid in Texas.

Eh, at the end of the day, I don't blame stuff like this for a loss. But it is an interesting explanation for how good his stuff looked all night.

What are we expecting from Syndergaard tonight?
 
.-.
Syndergaard only pitching to max of 11 batters so Alvarez doesn’t see him twice?!? Wow.
 
I can't wait to watch the Astros celebrate tonight. F Thor. F Bryce Harper.
 
While we sit back wondering if they’ll re-sign Vogelbach.

Agreed. Although I am hoping they bring back Vogelbach for a bench spot, he was surprisingly good after they got him

I’m a big fan. But he’s nowhere near the top of our priority list, which is what the OP was implying.

I like Vogelbach. He outperformed expectations and was a positive force among teammates and fans.

I’d like to see him back, but we need an entire bullpen; at least three starting pitchers, at least one of whom has to be an ace; and a center fielder.

I hear we are not going to make a play for Judge, so it sounds like our priorities are:

Diaz
Nimmo
deGrom
Two more SP
Five relievers
Big bat
 
Haha how stupid was that, pulling Wheeler in the 6th on 70 pitches. Analytics have removed common sense. Astros got a soft single it’s not like Wheeler was getting rocked, your ace gets into a jam so what, you stick with him it’s your aces job to get out of the jam.

Number one priority done.

Sources: Closer Diaz, Mets reach landmark deal

The Edwin Diaz deal is the first nine-figure contract ever for a closer and for the first time takes the position into the $20 million-plus range.

Nice!!! That shows you just how important he is to our success. Huge deal.

On the Jake front, I watched teams like the Padres and Astros trot out guys who were gutty with great stuff. I don't think we "need" the "greatest pitcher ever" to win it all.
 
It's a big contract for a RP but I love it. Window is the next 2 years with this group and you try to win now before years 4-5 are tough

You know I’m torn about Jake. But we’re not getting Judge and Uncle $teve has to put fannies in the seats. It’s not my money and we need an ace. I’m worried about Jake’s durability but I don’t know who is a better bet. And he creates a buzz, which is important in New York.

It had to be big. He’s the best one on the market.

I'd also rather give him a big contract than make a big trade for a reliever, especially with the current owner.

Also, if you are willing to give an RP 102M, you better get Judge or deGrom.

I think you're underclubbing the contract he'll get and the impact of it. With his stats, he's going to require a contract that, if he doesn't produce and he's hurt for a length of time, he'll cripple our ability to go get other pieces. Even with Uncle Stevie's deep pockets. And his agent knows a) his injury history and b) this being his last big payday.

Who is a better bet? What about Ohtani?
 
too nice a day not to double down, and give myself an extra chuckle at the expense of mets fans.
my entire existence, longer than that of a squirrel, i've said to mets pals,
'when u gonna win something? i mean, every other team in the division has won a ring since youse did it back in the days before electricity.'
and this year, the formerly stinko fillies fired their manager midseason, and yet they still went to the series. must have been their better mascot.
youse talk aboot flashin the cash (numbah 1 i think last season), but u let those two starters walk out the door recently. smooth move, exlax.
meet the mets, beat the mets, head to the park and defeat the mets...
catchy tune, no?
p's and c's loosening up in like 90 days. and forget fogelberg. that poor guy is dead, too, after spinning such great mets hits like The Reach, The Last Nail, and Lonely in Love.
but hey, im sure jakes arm won't fall off the minute he signs a deal. just don't let him use the drive up atm to deposit it. sometimes, it's a stretch to reach it when you don't park close cuz ur worried aboot smashing the sideview mirror.

Aren't you a Yankees fan? It's been 13 years for you, which is a lifetime for a fanbase that thinks their don't stink.
 
What is the thought process between offering Carrasco the option but not Walker?
