Altchek's Office Alumni: 2017 New York Mets

Looks like it was just a bruise in the end. Here's hoping.

Lagares is back, and Salas DFA'd.

A few days back, Sandy Alderson said Robert Gsellman needed to pitch better during his rehab. Gsellman replied: “I don’t really care."

@AnthonyDiComo
Alderson says the roughly $9 million the Mets saved via trades is not "earmarked" for next season. But he believes payroll will be flexible.

his Players Weekend jersey sez LITTLE D

d'Arnaud is switching btwn 2b & 3b depending on hitter

wow

Haven't read in detail about this -- surely Terry Collins didn't go to the ump every time the two infielders switched. So why wasn't it treated officially like a glorified shift?

positions are a feeling

With a shift the fielders are still standing in the same ordering ... maybe?

Collins had the players switch 22 times, and this strategy led to natural infielder Cabrera getting all the groundballs and d'Arnaud only having to handle one popup, which was hit by pinch-hitter Todd Frazier in the ninth inning.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi's reaction to this unusual strategy?

"I thought it was really smart on Terry's point," Girardi said. "D'Arnaud's never played the infield. So I think they were trying to give him the least amount of chances possible. He got one and he made it."

(brian blessed voice) wright's alive

Cespedes hamstring, might be done for the year

reyes could get OF starts

Conforto may be out the rest of the year too. Thread title keeps delivering.

It has at least been nice to see all the young players get some consistent playing time lately.

Wright rehab shut down

"uncle"

Kevin Plawecki lowered his ERA to 12.00.

Conforto may miss part of next season.

David Wright will have rotator cuff surgery, Michael conforto shoulder capsule surgery and tj rivera tommy john surgery, mets announce

Matt Harvey will start on Wednesday on short rest. TC says he wanted to get back on the mound as soon as possible.

— Steve Gelbs (@SteveGelbs) September 4, 2017

good idea

Have we suffered enough yet. I just want 70 wins.

Going to guess the whole training staff will be fired in the offseason, and TC will not return.

Have we suffered enough yet.

NEVER

as long as the Braves have a Hundred Years' Drought

winning a pennant aint nothin' but Collins seems clueless on a number of levels

as long as the Braves have a Hundred Years' Drought

totally cool with that, the move to Cobb Co. was the last fucking straw – Mets, Phils & Barves fighting for bottom spot every year is a dream

Instant classic

Moltar:
Mets have already said that they are not making changes to their medical staff, training staff, or their partnership with Hospital for Special Services. If you were a free agent, would that alone scare you away from signing with the team? Would you take the Beltran route and only see private doctors?

Eno Sarris:
You know, I think their problem might actually be internal and communication related? How often is it just what they told us was a… fabrication? Does Terry Collins foster a clubhouse of communication and openness? Does the GM make sure that all players feel welcome to reveal what they are feeling without repercussion?

im glad they got rid of those black mets jerseys

Here’s a fact: the Mets allowed 39 runs to the Cubs, the most in a 3-game series in team history.

"fuck it i'll be a legend"

hahahahahahaaaaa

In case you were wondering how much I watch playing-out-the-string Septembers, i have no idea who #77 is.

when you're down eight runs in the ninth, you need to make your own breaks

Noah Syndergaard will face live batters in Miami, and the Mets hope he is able to get into a game sometime over the weekend at Citi Field.

Whyyyyy?

harvey day

According to sources within the organization, the Mets are keen on the idea of bringing in someone they consider more technologically savvy and more fluent in analytical and sabermetrics: someone in the mold of the Cardinals Mike Matheny.
