This is the Metsiest start ever.

Nah. It'll be the Metsiest when Lindor pulls a ribcage muscle on his first swing and it nags and hampers him until mid-August.
 
Outside of it being opening day, this is pretty typical. When was the last time a FA bullpen arm didn’t suck ass?
 
Need to get McNeil going, the bullpen will round into form - I truly think it will be a strength by July

Because you think Lugo will be back by then, or you're expecting on of these rag arms to turn around?
 
Be positive! Castro and May are great bullpen arms! Familia is Familia... Loup was a sneaky good signing!

It's only game 3! Need to batter Nola early today.. POSITIVITY!

I hear you. We have talent. I wish I had more faith in Rojas.

On the bright side, how about Alonso’s defense!
 
Pete looks like he slimmed down too, my wife pointed it out, I wish she'd say the same about me!

Did the Mets strike gold with that kid or what?
 
Topic for discussion: Should the Mets sign Conforto to a big extension?

I have a big love/hate relationship with him. Seems like a great kid, good teammate, sweet swing. Power and average. But do we need him? Or can that money be better spent elsewhere? Is he the next Jay Bruce, Jason Bay type "average" corner outfielder that makes his bacon over a hot few stretches every year?

I think it's a no brainer to sign him. They're already going to be looking for a CF in a weak OF class next year, finding 2 is going to be really tough. Especially when Conforto is by far the best option available. After him you're looking at older guys like Starling Marte and Andrew McCutchen as the best options
 
Gotta sign him. 5 years 100 mil? Have to lock him up long term.

That strike 3 call on him with the bases loaded yesterday made me IRATE, it was outside.

Right now he's looking for $200M, I suspect they settle somewhere in the middle above Springer's 6/$150M
 
Mets steal a win with Comforto getting grazed on his elbow protector in the strike zone with bases loaded in bottom of 9th and bases loaded. Refs blew it big time. It is illogical that getting hit on a called third strike is not called batter interference. :confused::confused::rolleyes:

Yeah, no doubt it was the wrong call. Ref admitted it afterwards; Mets announcers said it instantly. HBP in strike zone = out.

I’m not certain he meant get hit but it doesn’t matter. He should have been called out. And he will get thrown at before the Marlins leave town.

Yikes, bad press that the Mets booth is getting so much attention for criticizing the call on the field and the "lean" by Conforto. Hope this fades away quickly.

It should fade away quickly once Conforto gets beaned. It's unfortunate that they have a day off today.

Still feel good about this one?

deGrom and Conforto each have three hits on the season after today.

100%. I'll take the 632 game sample over his 5 game struggles

Unreal. It’s like they’re trying to drive him off the team. He has the most thankless job in baseball.

So....

Peterson - 6 IP, 0 BB, 10 K
Stroman - 6 IP, 0 BB, 3 K
Walker - 4.3 IP, 3 BB, 8 K
Combined 16.3 IP, 3 BB, 21 K, 9 H, 2 R

Throw in Edwin Diaz's entrance music right now and the Mojo is building in Flushing, kids.
 
The video of Steve Gelbs playing the trumpet with the Diaz fans to his entrance music is GOLD

Oh my god. I just saw it. GOLD.

I cannot wait until that stadium is full against a team like the Nats and that music starts playing.
 
Holy crap. This is bordering on an epic performance and we’re only four innings in.

If these hammerheads don’t get him some more runs someone needs to get Medieval on their asses.
 
Nothing makes me hate this team more than deGrom’s starts.
