The Official 2026 New York Mets Thread

[Deepster]

This is a historically bad hitting team.
However: Gotta win tonight, right? McLean on the mound.

But just for the record, it is 4/21. Francisco Lindor has 1 RBI. Tonight he doubles that.

You're home. You had a day off. You're fast becoming the laughingstock of the league (if we're not already there). Mendy, Stearns and Cohen are all taking bullets.

At some point, doesn't pride kick in? Don't you have some fire in your belly as a major leaguer to at least look like you're trying your best?
As for Lindor, our "captain", I am willing to acknowledge he missed all of the spring and is still recovering from the hamate bone issue, but the smiling, fraternizing with other players at 2B, the multiple mental mistakes are a terrible look. Time to sack up.

Mets should just DFA Devin Williams now and save yourselves a season of angst. Yankee fans have seen this movie before.

Mendy has to go. I think he lost the clubhouse last year and this team just is not responding.

12 straight and counting. Could this team break the Mets expansion season record for most losses in a season? I am hoping so…..

 

[Deepster]

In order to win 90 games and be in position for a WC spot, they need to go 83-54 (.606) the rest of the way.

Their best month last season was July (.583)
In June and Sept of 2024, they were the best team in baseball with .667 and .654.
Their best month in 2023 was July .609.

Translation, they're all done. This stretch basically requires them to play the best baseball they've played in almost 3 years to climb back. With no answer at 1B, Semien's bat looks ancient, no single pickup contributing offensively and a dumpster fire closer.

Devin Williams was a great signing.

 

[Hunt for 7]

0-138 teams with 11 now 12 game losing streaks that have made the playoffs. When does the fire sale start. Where Cohen eats salary just to dump some of these players……they are going nowhere and no team is going to pick up these ridiculous contracts…..it may be decades before they recover. The Jets and Mets are the fans frets…..

The last 10 months have been absolute torture as a Mets and Jets fan. I feel like a battered spouse.

Well, Frankie quadrupled his ribbies last night. Problem is,
that was it. Benge hit a Homer game 1, that was it. He should be playing Twi Met in Waterbury. Poor McLean, he deserves better. Maybe let him hit.

Take this to the women's board

 

[Deepster]

I'm going to try and be positive.

Holmes gives us gutty innings every game. I have no complaints about Peralta, Nolan and Holmes.
Alvy is the one guy that consistently shows some spark and heart and he might be maturing at the plate as a hitter.
We need a guy like Weaver and his attitude. I wouldn't mind seeing him get the closer nod right now.

I'll enjoy that and worry about how long Lindor's out or why Soto didn't speak to a teammate the entire time he was on the DL tomorrow.

Matinee from Hell yesterday as Weaver gives up a two run bomb in the 8th. Then the streak of o-fers after trailing after 8 continues as Mauricio goes golfing on a full count with Alvy on 2nd and two outs in the 9th. It is so disheartening. They are so bad. Then they have to get on a plane to Cali for tonight.
