World Series or Bust! with the Coke Party Patrol: 2016 New York Mets

there's a GIF of it in that fangraphs article. i'm not fantastic at pitch recognition but it looks like a slider to me. insane

pretty sure bartolo got the biggest cheer during opening day intros

@AdamRubinESPN
I think Mets fans really want to boo the Phillies, but have no idea who these people are.

lol nice

Duuuuuuuuuuuuu-da

Con-FORRRRRRRRR-to

wallllker

it doesnt work as well with d'arnaud does it

Jim Henderson has 2 holds, and i don't think i knew he was on the team.

Logan Verrett starts Wednesday for deGrom (lat tightness)

yo

granderson + d'arnaud: 2-for-39

they both got a hit last night if that makes the loss more digestible

Wilmer Flores makes mlb 1B debut

@AdamRubinESPN
Terry Collins said Jacob deGrom will rejoin the Mets in Cleveland for the weekend series. If the lat issue persists and he is unable to throw a bullpen session, then expect a disabled-list stint.

@AnthonyDiComo
Um. The #Mets have removed Logan Verrett after six shutout innings and 85 pitches. In comes Jim Henderson, who threw 34 pitches last night.

Terry in postseason 'pen management mode

Via @ESPNStatsInfo: The #Mets have scored 20 runs -- their fewest thru 8 games since scoring 19 in 1973 (when they won the NL pennant).

Conforto batting 3rd tonight!

results

the Mets are really sockin' the ball

(3 hr in an inning)

degrom on emergency leave due to trouble w/ his newborn child - wish him/family/the kid all the best

baby is doing better

ike davis made his big league debut six years ago today : /

@AdamRubinESPN
Elias: Mets' 19 homers is the most in franchise history in a six-game span.

goddammit, gotta have that game

crutis

The Mets have 23 homers in their last eight games.

depending on today's whiffs, looks like about 60% off some tix for the homestand beginning tomw night

Nice pitching matchup tonight with Thor vs. Iglesias. Iglesias reminds me of El Duque with his pitching motion.

walkers april 2016 = murphys oct 2015 p much huh

Murphy's currently leading the league in batting average, so seems like a win-win for both clubs so far.

I'd figure with his glove and contract, Walker is a better deal.

also i bet neil walker isn't a terrible asshole

Adam Rubin:

Catcher Travis d'Arnaud departed Monday's game with shoulder soreness, and the Mets already are making contingency plans for a potential disabled list stint.

Major league veteran Rene Rivera was pulled after one at-bat from Triple-A Las Vegas' game against Albuquerque on Monday night, signaling he is in line to be flown to New York.

The Mets are calling Travis d'Arnaud's injury a right rotator cuff strain. He has been placed on the disabled list. Rene Rivera has been promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas.

aw <3

Cespedes off the bench like magic (or Willis Reed)

I wish Flores hadn't messed up this throw ... I think Colon might have beat him

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=15412713

Neil Walker joined Dave Kingman (1976), Carlos Delgado (2006) and John Buck (2013) as the only Mets ever to hit nine homers in April.
