He's still recovering from the surgery, the hamate bone takes a long time to recover from even after you're "cleared". It takes away basically all your power, and in most cases takes a full season to come back

okay.
So by all means let him continue to flail away at the plate. Let him rest in Syracuse. Or Binghamton. He may hit a double or two there.
Mets should hire you, Nave.

Huh? You asked what's going on with Alvarez and I told you, I said nothing about playing him every day while he recovers

 

[Deepster]

Alvarez is doing absolutely nothing right offensively right now. Barely making contact. Not sure how much longer you can keep Torrens behind him.

Mendy has had the benefit of being patient with situations like Soto, Vientos, Alvy because the team is playing so well in spite of it.

Was not a shot at you, but Mendoza.

 

[Alum86]

Well, that was a good road trip. 5-2 and arguably shoulda been 7-0, letting LA off the hook twice. Can we schedule the Rockies more?

Shout out to Stearns for assembling this team.

With Mauricio now up, you look at Him, Baty, Acuna and Vientos. What a dynamic group of young talent.
Torrens off the scrap heap combined with Alvy is a very good overall all around catcher combo.
McNeil and Marte are both producing. With Winker and Siri both eligible to come back soon.

Oh yeah.....and we still have Manaea in the wings.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I’ll be heading to the game the Monday after next. Driving down from CT. How are the parking garages near proper Flushing? I’d prefer not to park immediately at Citi Field since those prices have gone way up.

Of all the good Yankees teams, the one guy I always loved and wished he ended up as a Met was Andy Pettitte. Considering I also loved Al Leiter, I have a lean towards gritty big gamer guys who always gave you 6 strong in a big spot.

Is David Petersen our Andy Pettitte? When was the last complete game shut out we had? He had a bad hip that got fixed last season and since he's been back, he has been tough as nails.

As a Yankees fan, Pettitte was my favorite starting pitcher. Once he left, Tanaka took over that role. Very similar pitchers in that manner...not super flashy, but so damn reliable.

 

[Alum86]

Petey and Megill have outperformed. Throw in Lindor not s*cling to begin the year and there you have it.

 

[Alum86]

I am hoping Peterson is our 2025 El Sid (86) or Koosman. (69/73)

 

[Deepster]

Weird stretch we’re going through. Stearns and Mendy’s Midas touch seems to have gone on the fritz.

Interesting to see the demotions of Alvarez and Acuna. Definitely sending a message. I like the blend of Cohen and family and paternal feel and then the you’re not here if you don’t produce in the end.

I feel like a deals coming. Something like a Bregman or Duran for a Baty and prospects or something.

Dear Mets fans: Thank you for your revenue this weekend. Sorry your pitching sucks.

Which of our relievers can we trade you for an actual bat?

None, we don't want any of your RPs. And certainly not for a bat off the major league roster

 

[Deepster]

Weird to complain about being a half game out the first week of July.

You’re looking at the season overall body of work. But now, the present? It does not look pretty. SP hurt, RP a disaster. 6-9 batting order are auto outs.
We need Manea and Senga real quick, and take a flyer on a catcher.

Where were we last year at this time?

We wouldn't ask off the roster, but Jacob Reimer is a good fit for what Bucs need '-)

 

[storrsroars]

You guys have done the impossible - made Ke'Bryan Hayes look like a hitter.

Best of luck rest of the season. This was fun.

I could see see him traded, unfortunately the Pirates have nothing the Mets need

 

[Alum86]

.500, Outside looking in. I get it.
We just gave up 30 to the woeful Bucs. Parker is smiling down from above. We’re in trouble, Deepster. Losing games in buckets and we may be .500 by August.
Pitching has imploded, Lindor is hitting like early 2024 and Alonso is back to ‘24 form.

You are everything that is wrong with Mets fans. I legitimately don't think I've ever met someone more pessimistic about what is clearly a very good team

Really? Then you have not met many Mets fans.
At least Deepster is Pollyannish and civil. You are d&ckish. This team, right now, is in trouble. As constituted, not a very good team. It’s a board in present time. Who is our ace and stopper? Who can hit after the 5 spot? Maybe bring back up your boy Alvy?

I'm civil with the others here, I just find your posts about the Mets annoying and dumb. They've sucked the past few weeks, sure. But it turns out the wins during the first 2 months count the same as wins in June, so they're still in good shape.

The offense 1-6 is fine, and will be even better when a real 3B and CF are added at the deadline. Senga and Manaea are a great 1/2, and the Mets rotation has carried them for 3 months. That should be the least of your concerns

losing 13 out of 16 is a concern

 

[Deepster]

No doubt this streak is a concern. No doubt the lack of anything near an ace on the staff is a concern. And the "guts" of the team past 1-2-3 in the order looks awful right now (Taylor, Acuna, Vientos, etc).

1) Senga should be back soon. He was leading the NL in ERA most of the first half. You cross your fingers on Manaea. But just for argument's sake, let's say he's able to pitch like we hope in August/September.
2) I'm still confident in Garrett, Stanek and Diaz. Live or die with Brazoban and Butto in spots. Maybe make a trade for Aroldis Chapman.
3) I can't believe there's criticism on Lindor. Hasn't he earned the trust and confidence yet?
4) Lastly? I do believe in Mendy. I think we got our Terry Francona type who's going to be a really, really good one.

And if I am going to be a pollyanna? Hopefully the streak finally kills Frank the Tank with a massive coronary.

 

[Waquoit]

It's a pennant race. Even though they really don't have pennants anymore. If you're close on the 4th of July, you're good. Especially if you have a front office that knows what they are doing.

 

[storrsroars]

Not that I'd expect y'all to feel better about getting swept by the Pirates, but your pitching was thin and you did score four runs.

Bucs just swept the 3-game series vs Cards outscoring them 13-0. And the Cards were at full strength.

Aaron Judge seems unhappy on the Yankees. He seems like he wishes he was on the Mets with Soto.
