The Official 2025 New York Mets thread

[Deepster]

Went to the game last night with the 7 Line Army. Obviously not the outcome I wanted (I think I’m on a four game losing streak in person) but if you get the chance to go to a 7 Line event, you gotta go.

They had the whole third floor of Lucky Strike reserved. They sold 1,000 tickets and it was bizzare seeing all those Mets fan in a Boston bar. Around 6:00, we gathered outside for a group picture with a really loud “Let’s go Mets” chant, then we all marched over to the park. The looks and comments from the Boston fans was hilarious. No idea what was going on.

Everyone is super friendly and love sharing 7 Line stories or talking Mets. My daughter was blown away. And the “Let’s go Mets”, “Pete A-Lon-so” chants and signing “My Girl” was really loud. Anytime the Boston fans got ticked we started a “Yankees suck” chant and that pulled us together every time.

As for Fenway? Wow. I hadn’t been there in a long time and it really needs to be rebuilt. It’s so uncomfortable and outdated it’s almost sad. I don’t want to hear about “nostalgia”. It’s not a good fan experience. See the picture attached of where our seats actually point. It’s ridiculous.

All in all, even with the loss, it was a ton of fun and well well worth it.

Looks like a good time. See those animals on tv and wonder if they behave. LOL.
I can barely fit in the seats at Fenway. I’m Not meant for the 1910 era stadiums.
I was at old Comiskey, that was roomier. Wrigley too.

Can we officially end the Bruce Baty Experience/Experiment? Yeessh…
And top of the lineup did not look so good last night. Wasted a nice start by Senga.

 

[Deepster]

Very well behaved. Respectful of the other team but good natured chants and cheering. The one time I winced was a guy in a Jason Tatum jersey walked by and they started a pretty loud "Jalen Brunson" chant. LOL

My buddy recently said it best. Baty is a AAAA player.

What’s up with Alvarez?
I bashed him last year. Was never a fan of him, but he came around.
This year, besides his improvement throwing runners out, he has totally regressed to an auto-out. 7 RBIs so far with 3 XBH is abysmal. He should be relegated to back-up to Torrens, no 50/50 split.

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
