Lmaoing @ this god-awful thread
Go kick rocks, Mets-nerds you fucking zilches
>>75156835
you shut your whore mouth.
also, whats up fuckers, let's get ready to kick some ass.
SO glad to be back on SNY
*gets 3 hits of debust*
1 up, 1 Down
>reyes
Based ass dribble
Mets are a fucking joke like you are the sweaty dead skin excrement in between the nuts and the asshole remains of the dodgers and giants you are a fake fucking loser team and will move again fuck you
BASED assdribble
Can I watch with you guys? There aren't any other games I'm interested in for an hour.
>cespebitch
that really is a very nice curveball
Jay 'literally barry bonds' Bruce
>>75157072
Only if you stay away from Trout
>walking hernandez
made me think
just made some nathans hot dogs, fuck yes. what'd i miss?
>reyes
ODUBLEL
>reyes
send that fucker home
hahaha fuck our fielding is so shitty
>all these almost outs
little league defense
Saunders there's that 'power' we were told about
fffs. walked in a run. c'mon degrom you're better than this shit.
I thought DeGrom was supposed to be good?
>mest
>MEST
hmm
probably the best outcome for that inning
OKAY BROCK, BACK TO AAA
For what purpose are Reyes or Granderson starting
>>75157531
terry hates conforto and flores
>tfw conforto hits .347 against eickhoff
>>75157531
because mlb still wants to sell their stock of Reyes #7 jerseys. i duno bout grandy.
>neil WALKer
Glad we walked walker, dude has a phenomenal swing
>>75157531
Granderson is clearly in decline but he's still likely to be a 2 winish player, as for Reyes there isn't a better option for 3rd base
i always forget how much i hate d'arnaud
>>75157611
well there is one option for 3rd:
step 1: build time machine
step 2: travel to 2005 and get d.wright
step 3: bring him to 2017
step 4: ??????
step 5: PROFIT
>>75157611
>>75157649
Start Rivera or Flores at 3rd. Sure they aren't much better defensively, but at the very least you'll have a better bat.
>>75157689
Rivera definitely not, he did good in a tiny sample size but that without a doubt wouldn't last.
While Reyes is slumping right now Flores is both a worse bat and defender
>reyes
1/25 for fucks sake.
>batting .040
>>75157689
they ran flores on 3rd the other night, he was alright but i can't see him being permanent.
Come on Kendrick, keep that .450 average up.
>>75157760
>Have Rivera wasting on the bench despite showing he's season ready from the WBC
Terry's brain needs to be studied for medical science.
When did Bruce become an elite outfielder?
DeGrom is a mess
>>75157843
april 3rd
>>75157853
that's a nice birthday present
thanks bruce
This long hair shit with the pitchers is gay as fuck
>>75157941
Yeah, it was funny in 2015 but degrom, syndergaard, and gsellman need fucking haircuts
>>75157941
You're gay as fuck. Who comments on a man's hairstyle? Faggot hair dressers that's who.
>>75157941
fuck you. can't spell metal without met. mets fans are rockers, asians, and jews. yankees fans are normies, guidos, and retards.
t. long hair heavy metal mets fan.
Holy shit Bruce is doing it.
BOOOOOOORUUUUUUCCCCCCEEEEEEE strikes again
thanks be to bruce
BBRUCE!
jay "mike trout" bruce
I swear this guy hates Philadelphia with a passion
>>75157985
>Yankees fans
>Not mentioning Dominicans and Puerto Ricans
>>75157985
Guido mets fans reporting in
BRUUUUUUUUCE
>>75158011
yes that's true. los mets. we do have most of the spanish baseball fans.
>>75157998
I was saying booruce
>>75158030
Genuinely wondering if you're memeing, Mexicans like the Mets, Dominicans and Puerto Rican's are usually yankee fans
>>75158030
I feel like the Mets fans are the Mexicans and central Americans and the Yankees fans are the Dominicans and Puerto Ricans
>>75158048
he's just categorically grouping anyone who speaks spanish as a first language into one group
is manhattan yankee or mets turf? Im guessing yanks.
ill guess
bronx > yanks
queens >mets
the islands> mets
metro area > yanks
am i close?
>>75158104
manhattan is whichever team is doing better at the moment
>>75158104
pretty much. the bandwagon that flip flops is like 40% of all fans in NYC because there are so many transplants
I don't think it's racially based at all. I thought it was more like, Yankee fans are the default in most places around NYC; BX, Manhattan (front runners, girls)
Met fans are either from Queens, Brooklyn, LI, or they understand rooting for the yankees is lame af. why root for the team that's supposed to win every year?
>>75158104
Yes, and with regard to the city you can only really gauge Washington heights and Harlem which is mostly yankee fans, I'd have to imagine it's close in Brooklyn but prolly more mets
>>75158104
Manhattan is very mixed and is also filled with people who just moved to the city and bandwagoned whoever was doing better at the time. Westchester and LI are also pretty mixed I would say Westchester leans Yankees and LI Mets.
Phils are leaving too many runners on base.
It's only a matter of time before the Mets offense comes to life.
>>75158145
>not racial
>just about every Puerto Rican is a yankee fan
>every Jew is a Mets fan
>>75158157
we comin for that bullpen f@m
>>75158157
We shoulda got like 5 runs in the first inning. Stassi sux
>White women
>Bruce has 3 HRs and 4 RBIs
Mets offense in a nutshell
i was making the point that out of the teams we have here, to have long haired guys is more fitting for mets as the fan base tends to be more alternative generally.
as for the spanish breakdown, thats complicated, it comes down to the area. whatever, who cares.
>>75158157
>It's only a matter of time before the Mets offense comes to life.
as long as this game doesn't go until june you should be okay
>>75158165
>Every Jew is a Mets fan
Patently false, the Bronx used to be super Jewish there's plenty of Jewish Yankee fans
>>75158104
Manhattan is filled mostly with people who don't give a shit about anything except liberal politics and bad fashion, much less baseball
kek @ his wife. she's a qt tho
>tda
>>75158175
As long as the phils don't use Gomez they're fine
>>75157985
are asians really mets fans? I thought they were obsessed with high quality status symbols ?
>>75158199
only in riverdale.
>you will never have a wife that loves and supports you as much as jerad eickhoff
>>75158200
t. never been above 96th St.
>>75158207
Could be worse. Could be the Jints bullpen.
>>75158210
Most the Asians in the city are in Flushing, which is where the Mets play
>>75158213
Theres plenty of Brooklyn Jew Yankee fans
How much you think we can get for Neris at the deadline?
>>75158210
Yes mets absolutely dominate in asians, Jews, Mexicans, and generally anyone who isn't an Italian, Puerto Rican, or Dominican
>>75158210
queens has the highest asian population out of all of the boroughs (highest area is astoria if i remember correctly). and queens is mets home turf, so it tends to run that way. so per capita, out of the asians who are baseball fans, the majority of them tend to be mets fans.
>>75158200
You're a dumbass. I live in Harlem and there's plenty of baseball fans here, i see yankees caps on every corner and its mostly baseball/basketball territory.
and btw don't ask - it's cheaper
>>75158242
Flushing and Whitestone but yea this is he correct answer
>>75158210
American Asians most likely but Asians that don't or barely assimilate are only fans if the Mets have Asian players on the team
>>75158146
>>75158145
>>75158200
Thanks guys i also completely forgot about brooklyn- it makes sense it's split and fairweather because it's viewed as having similar values to manhattan
>>75158165
>every Jew is a Mets fan
Nope. I know far more Jewish Yankee fans
It does seem like a lot of PRs are yankee fans, but you can't tell me you don't see any at Citi field either
OUT AS FUCK
hoo boy assdribble
nice scoop by duda too
>>75158249
>i see yankees caps on every corner
You will see yankees caps wherever the fuck you go, that's not good evidence. Black people don't watch baseball, they just wear the hats, especially yankees/mets/dodgers hats
>mets fielding is suddenly god-tier
why can't it be 2015 again
>>75158274
Hmmm strange almost every Jew I know is a met fan. Also Long Island is absolutely dominated by Mets fans
kek he almost called him orlando cabrera
>>75158289
Not him and you're right about the hat thing but generally uptown is more yankee, it's closer to the stadium than a lot of places in the bronx
>>75158234
>>75158239
>>75158242
>>75158258
can i take it the only ethnicity that doesn't care about or play baseball are the asians? Arent there enough koreans and japanese that care? Thanks guys Im learning a lot
franco looks disappointing so far this year at the plate
>>75158274
there is such a thing as a mets yarmulke.
i have never seen a yankees one.
Why is every Italian person a fucking yankee fan?
Is mlb.com slow for anyone else?
It's saying it's the bottom of the 5th with no outs, but that just ended.
Alright, José, no time like the present to get on base my dude
No pressure, but if you strike out again you can clean out your fucking locker
>>75158329
We're not self-hating cucks like jews, germans, and other shitty ethnicities. We root for Champions
>>75158324
I have seen more Yankees ones than Mets but they make ones of every team for every sport I have a pic but it's too big
>>75158329
joe dimaggio and yogi berra?
>>75158318
Rich asians live in Whitestone and are usually Mets fans, Korean as well
Tons of Chinese in flushing mostly Mets fans
Japanese population in New York is completely negligible
>>75158329
There are dozens of us Italian Mets fans in Staten Island
>reyes
Give Us Jose, we'll turn him into a good hitter
>>75158318
the japanese community, despite this city having literally 10+ million people) is incredibly small. the korean community is a bit larger, but still rare. the bulk of what is 'asian' in the 5 boros is mostly chinese.
also reyes 1/26 now. ffs.
>>75158360
and phil rizzuto
>>75158353
>We root for Champions
Like Franco and Hitler
>>75158329
Joe Dimaggio and some others, yankees are just older, and Bronx had relatively high italians to the other boroughs
It's really not a racial thing, it's a geographic thing, plenty of italian mets fans in queens, brooklyn and LI
>>75158364
Korean in flushing as well
Eickhoff is rolllling. Really impressed by his first 2 starts
So I think all of these comments about the Yankee/Met breakdown proves my point that it's more based on geography than race
just sayin
>>75158329
because most italians are full of bravado and are natural frontrunners. they support the yanks because MUH 27 RINGS and use this as an end-all excuse to proclaim why your favorite team sucks. thats the mentality you're dealing with.
>>75158382
neither were Italian?
>>75158415
You're completely right, /pol/ just wants more excuses to call Italians not white.
>>75158415
U do understand in New York City the two are not mutually exclusive, asians live where asians live and Italians live with Italians
>>75158428
ah shit I meant Mussolini
>>75158415
NYC born and raised I would say ultimately there's no real rhyme or reason to it the only really reliable one is that Dominicans will be Yankees fans 95% of the time
>>75158478
i've noticed that too. but that's also because most of the dominicans come from washington heights and spanish harlem zones, which is all yankee turf cause bronx.
>Brock assi
>>75158478
that is very interesting. come to think of it I get my hair cut in Abington ( Philly area) by some dominicans and a few of them wear yankee caps sometimes.
>strike out the next pitch
lmao
based jake has so much heart
>still paying bobby bonilla
Fucking hell man
LET'S GO METS
LET'S GO METS
LET'S GO METS
>>75158551
It's better for the mets
Philly may be the worst city in america
Welp.
Time to tie the game
>>75158576
It is
>>75158576
i dunno, detroit seems to get all the points for being a dystopian shithole.
ROLLIN' DOWN THA STREET

holy lel
>lillies
>lillies
>lillies
Would you prefer a subway series World Series or us vs the Indians (disregard actual facts of how good the teams are)
I would absolutely take Indians I actually think losing to the stankees in another ws is not outweighed by beating them in one
(-_-) gonna kms
alright d'ontknow just dont hit into a dp so conforto can get up
it's time
what the fuck is terry doing, i am confus. pick a batter what the fuck.
>terry
what a waste, conforto should have been batting
>florass
KEK
Let's win this boys
>its a terry episode
Shoulda fired Collins last year when backman was ready
Why does Collins hate Conforto so much? I just don't get it. I'm starting to hope Conforto gets traded just because I feel bad that his talent is getting wasted and destroyed by Collins and Long
STFU gary, we know the bullpen is bad
>your last name will never be smoker
bring in blevins
HAHAHA
TIME FOR LELVINS
i went outside for a minute, what happened? smoker smoking cocks again and got pulled off the mound?
>all this armchair managing
You guys have literally zero clue what goes into managing a baseball team

the fuck did I just watch
>>75158888
not their fault lol, there's no way in hell he should have stopped that
we out here doe
>>75158893
stopping that pitch was pretty amazing, even if he airmailed the throw to second like he always does
>blevins threw 1 pitch that inning
>>75158888
Ramos owns the mets.
>>75158900
idk i don't think there is an excuse for kendrick not getting back
goddamnit Reyes
>0.037 after that out
We gotta start throwing trash at Reyes whenever he walks up lol
OHSHI- assdribble is mad
what the fuck dude
>mets players are little pussies
Nothing new here
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Someone get the hothead outta there
>>75158971
Where from that did you get pussy
>>75158971
>lillies cried about robles' quick pitch
>lillies' manager goes out to bitch about his own player throwing a pitch BEHIND the batter
pathetic
>>75158971
>phillies are classless niggers
color me surprised
hr incoming
FIGHT FIGHT
>ronnie encouraging the fight
absolutely BASED
>>75158992
You gotta stick up for your guys. Glad pete gave joe the verbal beatdown.
>Bruce coming up
Time for the Mets to take the lead.
WALK HIM
>face 3 batters
>make the whole fucking game awkward
leave it to a nigger tbqh
>>75159037
>be so pissed about giving up a walk off hoemr last year you take it out in a tied game in the 8th inning this year
what a moron lmao
I can't believe Bruce is the most exciting person in the mets lineup
>>75159061
It's important to set the tone for the rest of the year.
>11.57 ERA
lel
>>75159072
ROLLIN DOWN THE STREET
HEADIN TO CITI
GONNA GO SEE JAY BRUCE
We need to apologize to Bruce
BRUUUUUUUUUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bruuuuuuce
metsfags better apologize to bruce
FUCK YEAH BRUCE

ABSOLUTE MADMAN
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHA
Your 2017 NL MVP
BRRUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCEEEEEEEEE
APOLOGIZE TO JAY RIGHT NOW
Fucking hell
>>75159035
Called it.
GG Mets.
sandy alderson is an absolute madman lads
>>75159138
He's literally Trouting them this season. They should be 1-6 right now, fucking pathetic lineup.
I'm so sorry Jay
>>75159175
>WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>75159175
>Trouting
This should be a verb used even outside of baseball
>>75159186
Like:
I TROUTED YOUR MOM LAST NIGHT
>lillie relief pitching
>>75159175
Keep sucking this dick, you philthy rat hole faggot
>it would have only be 3-2 if ramos didn't chimp out
l m a o
>>75159196
More of a catfish than a trout.
>>75159175
>>75159185
Your whole fanbase wanted him traded in the offseason, not to mention he was booed AT CITI FIELD in july or august when he started off slow. Sucks to see an unappreciative fanbase get rewarded, but what can you expect from the new york complainers.
w/e it's just one game
>buttholez tomorrow
KILL ME
>>75159221
>he's a fucking PHILADELPHIAN
>talking about unappreciative fanbases
my fucking sides, you booed every good player you've had out of town. bruce was shitty last year, so he got booed. clearly he's used that as motivation, instead of crying about it like you would have clearly done.
>>75159221
They were saying boooooooruce
>>75159221
Your fans just booed Ramos for walking Cabrera you retatd. You are literally the most classless fanbase in professional sports, and everyone knows it.
>>75159221
You should never boo a player for playing poorly but he was straight awful last season and it seemed like he didn't fit in
lillies can't handle our swag
>throw literally no strikes in an AB
>get a K for your efforts
>Herrera
wew lad. Franco did it right.
>>75159250
That was situational come on. Not even remotely the same thing.
We shoulda booed Ryan Howard every at-bat after 2012 with his dynamic .240 average and lead-leaguing strikeouts every year
haha you about to get blev'd
oh no, not robles.
in b4 mets are choke artists
time for a double play
>saunders is going to give hope to another fanbase only to destroy them in the second half of the season again
why is he allowed to get away with this?
>robles
wuh oh
>Robles
Enjoy the win, Phillie.
why does terry want to lose this game so bad
>>75159346
>implying Rupp won't hit into a double play
Don't get my hopes up, anon.
>7.71 ERA
Wew lad he somehow pulled it out his ass
welp called it
>rupp
gotta love that veteran infield
Fucking fairweather fucks doubting Robles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9V9L_V3KU4
>>75159363
I hate being right.
>>75159405
robles is garbage about 50% of the time he pitches. the other half he's amazing
>>75159409
That's my mascot
*blocks your path*
is brock stassi an 80 grade name?
>>75159428
Anyone have a picture of his wife? Legend has it that she is super hot.
>Metsfags are getting to see Bruce's hotstreak finally
Reds fan here. He does this just often enough that you'll never totally hate him, but the cold streaks like you saw last year happen regularly. Streakiest hitter ever.
>were going to lose by one run
gg mets
>>75159520
Duda is pretty similar
Like Familia never left
>>75159529
falseflagger
we're winning this shit!
General rule of thumb isn't to chuck the same pitch five times in a row because that usually happens eventually.
dude is just kris bryant with blonder hair, i think that's cheating
>reed
>>75159531
They need to trade Duda to the Twins for a ham and cheese sandwich
Making it interesting
Fuck you Phillies, don't get my hopes up.
umpball
fuck off
>>75159580
Clearly a strike, batter immediately walked away.
bounced right into the ump's nuts, ouch
>>75159580
i'll give you that one, that ball didn't even touch the plate, they were talking about it being half on half off while they show the overhead replay of it being outside.
>>75159593
thought he took it to the chest
reed setting up the DP, 7D chess
1 MORE REED LET'S GO
Those mets fans look like douchenozzles
WOOT GG PHILFAGS.
whew that was closer than it should have been
gg lillies, we 1st now

>>75159693

>tfw Reed intentionally gave up a ran just so that walk to Cabrera would sting much more
>5 more months of this shit
I'd say I'm looking forward to the start of the NFL, but I'd be lying.
