Team has definitely woken up lately, playing better. The wild card race is still wide open.
― Michael F Gill, Sunday, 16 June 2024 21:07 (three months ago) link
guess i’m wondering if this continues, will we end up becoming buyers at the trade deadline? so far a ton of rumors that we’re looking to sell
― 龜, Monday, 17 June 2024 20:38 (three months ago) link
Need to get to .500 first. Currently that would get you a playoff spot. Not sure you need to make a deal then if you can get good momentum going into the playoffs.
― Michael F Gill, Monday, 17 June 2024 22:51 (three months ago) link
I would still sell because I don't think the current core is enough to get you there consistently in the next few years. Not to say they shouldn't be a wild card team a couple of times, but they just lack dynamism.

I just checked the score after I posted, lol, maybe I'm wrong.
The sad part is this run they are on would have to continue for 3-4 more weeks to undo their April/May.

It’s not that bad? People will be much happier with a winning record and a chance for the playoffs. Put together another solid week or two and the ship is mostly righted. As for the future, I think it’s good enough to not tear it all down. When this team goes all in or all out, misery seems to follow.

Steve gelbs is fine as a sideline reporting goofball but I still can’t take him seriously as a play by play guy. Can they bring back Gary Thorne again?

― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 26 June 2024 04:17 (three months ago) link
really nothing more than the mets went 7-0 starting with the game where grimace threw out the first pitch in a city connect uniform
and have been the best team in all of baseball in june (saw some stat like that)
other correlations: return of francisco alvarez (apparently some kind of catching savant who makes all pitchers better), benching mcneil for iglesias, vientos continuing to mash, lindor hitting well after switching to the leadoff spot
― 龜, Wednesday, 26 June 2024 04:49 (three months ago) link
one of those things where none of the memes are as good as the thing itself

the overwhelming sentiment 3-4 weeks ago to completely do a massive selloff to the "we're looking pretty good playoff-wise, maybe we're buyers" now has been something to see esp. for long-time die hards like me, i admit i was all-in on the "blow the core up" team but i do think alvarez is the most important factor here, i buy into him having some sort of vibe x-factor (along with game calling skillz)
― buzza, Wednesday, 26 June 2024 08:06 (three months ago) link
I agree with 龜 that the hitting has been the big change, which seems mostly down to (1) reverting to the mean (they were so bad before), (2) Martinez starting to mash, and (3) Vientos giving them another power bat that was previously a zero.
― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Wednesday, 26 June 2024 11:35 (three months ago) link
How does Vientos look at 3B? I know he was terrible last year but his savant page currently has him at -1 OAA which the Mets can certainly live with if he stays hitting.

Those 9th inning at bats were great.

Pete Alonso posted this which made me really happy because 1) I’ve been there and it’s very good but 2) more importantly it’s right beside the Clemente museum and that’s where he’d have been going. It’s great when players appreciate the history of the game.https://i.postimg.cc/Pq2PdMCY/IMG-2949.jpg
― Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac), Tuesday, 9 July 2024 22:03 (two months ago) link
yeah the mets radio broadcast mentioned how after the team dinner they all went to the clemente museum
― 龜, Wednesday, 10 July 2024 10:14 (two months ago) link
That’s cool. They had a lot of shirts there from players visiting that has been signed but I don’t think I saw a Mets one.
― Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac), Wednesday, 10 July 2024 10:27 (two months ago) link
now in playoff position! (at two games over .500 lol)
― mookieproof, Thursday, 11 July 2024 21:24 (two months ago) link
30-15 record in their last 45 games :)Entertaining game tonight. Walk judge four times, then strike him out in the 9th inning.
― Michael F Gill, Wednesday, 24 July 2024 02:47 (two months ago) link
loool at luis severino (who has pitched well lately but still!) shit-talking the yankees when he's not pitching against them this week

That is the perfect time to shit-talk

Okay the mets seem very fun right now
― H.P, Friday, 26 July 2024 08:35 (two months ago) link
I'm still not sure how they are doing it.
It is fun seeing other teams meltdown in pressure situations for once.
― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Friday, 26 July 2024 11:57 (two months ago) link
It’s like there are so many good vibes around the team right now that even the little things are going their way.
― Michael F Gill, Friday, 26 July 2024 12:59 (two months ago) link
Lindor going off and Nimmo heating up aren’t hurting them one bit. Is Senga due back soon?

xp nimmo has been slumping recently which is why mendoza gave him last night off, but he'll be needed since bader is day to day with a bum ankle
senga is starting tonight!

Sale pitched a deGrom last night
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Friday, 26 July 2024 14:28 (two months ago) link
Yeah, some of the guys who initially started the turnaround (Martinez, Nimmo, Alvarez) have been slumping and the team keeps on truckin'.
― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Friday, 26 July 2024 14:59 (two months ago) link
Yeah McNeil and Lindor have more than made up for that since the all star break. There’s been a lot of different clutch players this year.

They’ve certainly got a revolving door of pitchers coming and going this whole season, but it seems like there is always one or two of them with the hot hand.
