oh boy i can't wait for the mets to lose AGAIN!
So that's what infield defense looks like
mets on no-hitter watch
Amed Roario is better than Honus Wagner
literally Rey Ordonez
Please get no hit tonight. This team needs an annual no hitter to show how bad this hitting is, even with Bruce
>this mets team against the dodgers

I swear they'll fucking turn it around and kick the shit out of darvish

wow flexen fucking sucks.
The shitty of our pitching
>>77445372
>the Mets farm is so bad that we had to call up this shithead from AA when Wheeler died
here comes the pain again
>>77445382
Flexen is not a future starting pitcher. He's a future middle relief guy at best.
Peterson and Molina are way better hopes. Also Dunn if he unJUSTS himself
Coors is where pitchers go to die
>>77445422
I wish Szapucki didn't die, would have loved to see him up here instead of this faggot
Dunn might be good, maybe Peterson. Just sucks that we had so much minor league pitching talent, called them all up, and now half of them are terrible
>>77445465
We unironically traded our top performing minor league pitcher this year for AJ Ramos though
pitchers should kill umpires more often
it would be good for the game
>>77445491
Man, fuck that trade. Gonzalez was what, like our 9th overall prospect? There was literally no reason to trade for Ramos when we have 0 chance of contending this year. Sandy had an awful deadline this year
>>77445516
I would have preferred to trade Andres Gimenez. Why did they have to trade Merandy in the fucking division?
>>77445529
Why trade for Ramos at all? He's overrated imo, and it's not like we didn't get a bunch of relievers back in the Reed trade anyway. Let some other team overpay for him, and we could always have tried to resign Reed anyway. Felt like Sandy panicked about not making enough moves
>>77445572
He did one thing right: trading for minor league relief pitching. The Ramos trade seemed dumb though.
>>77445591
I liked the Reed trade, and I was okay with the Duda trade if that was seriously the best offer for him (kind of feel like it wasn't, but what do I know). Actually GIVING up assets in this shitshow of a season is so fucking dumb, especially something like starting pitching which we are so strapped for right now.
Sandy and Terry are gone at the end of September if digits.
>>77445657
Those count as digits imo
>it's a no hitter broken by a poorly fielded infield single episode
not to say a no hitter is in the making in the 4th, 5th, 6th, or even 7th inning but you hate to see potential greatness thwarted by such a mediocre outcome.
>>77445679
better than that time deGrom lost his no-no when Grandy couldn't find a fly ball
Fuck off Cespedes
>>77445657
close enough for me.
>tfw NL MVP
Reasons to live: Jay Bruce
>>77445664
>>It's going to be a couple hard years ahead isn't?
ALSO BRUUUUCE.
Are they saying boo or BRUUU-CE
big bruce
>>77445707
We can still finish with a top 5 draft pick next year. We won't finish worse than the reds, giants, phillies, and white sox though.
>>77445727
the Mets actually suck at drafting though
>>77445735
I would say the Mets are mediocre at drafting. Not as bad as a team like the Memeiners. The Confy pick was based.
>>77445727
Who can beat a Philadelphia team at being awful, honestly?
>>77445748
I think being better than the Mariners at drafting is like being better than a cripple at walking. I'd say Mets are in the bottom third of drafting; how many of our starters, pitching or otherwise, this year are homegrown and actually performing?
>>77445766
Not many. Mets need a much better scouting.
>>77445766
Plawecki is elite
>>77445784
They had a brief renaissance of pitching with guys like Harvey, Matz, deGrom, and Fulmer, but our position player scouting has been horrible forever. Conforto is the first star-quality hitter we've developed since Wright.
>>77445805
Hopefully the two big international players we signed this year turn out good. Both are position players.
didn't we pass on seager and bellinger?
>>77445805
>since Wright
since Murphy
>>77445832
We drafted Gavin "the definition of mediocre" Cecchini over Seager, yeah. Bellinger was a 4th rounder so everyone passed over him.
>>77445849
Murphy was never a star with the Mets, outside of 3 weeks in October.
>>77445832
It's not really about who you pass on. It's about who you take. I could forgive passing on Seager if the Mets didn't take a complete bust like Cecchini.
>h-he's fast!
that fan shitting his pants right now
>>77445849
>I still miss him
>>77445863
But he's still a player we developed that is now an elite hitter
Mad, cuckies?
>>77445894
That's like saying the Mets "developed" Justin Turner though. Murph was a career .280 hitter on the Mets
>>77445894
Seems like he's an elite hitter in spite of his time with the mets not because of it
>>77445894
Angel Pagan.
>>77445915
But we drafted murph, he was completely developed by us, he just didn't do that well until the very end of his tenure with us
I believe the Orioles drafted turner, we did not develop him
>>77445946
They DFA'd him after like 20 games. The Mets had Turner for 3 years, he was shit, and then he went to the Dodgers and was good. I don't give the Mets credit for that, just like I don't give them credit for Murphy challenging for the batting title every year now.
>>77445982
But we actually scouted and drafted and developed Murphy completely. You can't say the organization didn't correctly identify a potential elite batter in murph. Not to mention he credits Long's approach for a lot of his current success and has tried to spread his ideas with his new friends
We didn't develop Turner so that's not even relevant
>>77445657
terry's gone either way. dunno bout sandy.
mets coming back and giving us hope.
