If you saw mick's interview during the game I'm sure you chuckled when he used the term "dirt slop" or something close. Speaking of sons..perfect timing since our nug is flying in tonight..we'll go to see family,then come home to watch the dvr'd game together..be the first time in years.peace.
Tierlifer Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Interesting move today...Nimmo sent down for Sewald. Before everyone freaks out I will try to be the voice of reason. With Lagares emerging as a viable option to not only be a starter again when called upon and the Mets facing 2 lefties this week....AND....I think they do not trust Wheeler on Wednesday going more than 5 I can see why an arm is being summoned from Vegas. While Nimmo is a curious move he just seems to be the odd man out right now. Also...perhaps they find some "phantom DL" move for Sewald who has not pitched since the STL series and Nimmo does not even leave South Beach and can be called back up immediately and avoid the 10 day call up rule? Just spitballing. I know it is not a popular move and I love Nimms a lot too but the new staff earns some credence IMO.I hate playing with a short bench but there must be a reason. I'm not saying I love the move...just willing to wait and see what happens. Edited April 10, 2018 by Tierlifer

I'm not saying I love the move...just willing to wait and see what happens. We all knew the outfield was crowded. Lagares earned his spot. If Lagares stops producing, Nimmo will be back. There's just not room for both of them with Conforto, Cespedes and Bruce healthy - AND with Gonzalez doing pretty well at 1B. I'm sure we'll see Nimmo much more this season. For now, though ... it was absolutely the right move to make, in my opinion.
Misterbluesky Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 I have a kind of funny Mets story about a time when the Mets projects were in Buffalo..me and my brother in law took our paps to a game..third base side.The sun was out..mid 70's..they had the button down sweaters on..they botched they were hot..we fed them a few beers and hot dogs,they got happy..then the sun left our seats...they botched because they were getting cold,...Backman got the ejection around the 8th inning during a bad Bisons showing.That afternoon still reminds me and my brother in law of Grumpy Old Men...Both Mets fans..William "" foz" Wasielewski...I'm going to put a small Mets flag in his coffin tomorrow afternoon..and it will go with him on Thursday...that's the way Mets fans roll... 1
SinceThe70s Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Mets just tied it up with 2 HRs in the top of the 8th. They may win, they may lose. To me they already won tonight win or lose.

Sorry that your father-in-law passed away, but great story in so many ways. Baseball is all about passing along the love and legacy to me. My grandfather was a huge influence on me as was my father. I hope someone puts a Mets flag in my coffin when my time has come.
Gugny Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 That was a great !@#$ing win. But our bullpen is going to end up dead. These starters need to go longer. Especially Jake and Thor. 1

Especially Jake and Thor. I don't disagree, but I also think it's part of why Nimmo got sent down today. Hard to argue with any moves when you're playing .900 ball. And as much as I don't like it (get off my lawn!) I have a feeling we may need to get to used to shorter outings, including Jake and Thor. 6/7 may be the new 7/8 normal. Just win baby!

The short outings are only sustainable if we've got 5 MLB-ready bullpen arms in AAA. I love that we're 9-1, but Mickey is managing every game like it's Game 7 of the World Series. I just worry about sustainability. However, the reason I loved the Callaway hire was his prior experience with Cleveland. So I'm just gonna sit here, trust him, and enjoy the **** out of watching them!

Especially Jake and Thor. Not unless Logo and Gsvllman get burned out and how the off days are managed. Callaway is carrying an extra reliever no in case of this. Something to keep an eye on. Lugo and Gsleeman are the key, they can go multiple innings. However I do agree we are going to need length at some point. I was hoping last night but that did not happen. LGM.

Completely agree on the sustainability concern. I would probably be destroying Calloway if things weren't going so well. Winning cures all.
Tierlifer Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 TDL errr I mean TDA partually torn UCL. Most likely we’ve seen his last days as a Met if he needs surrgery. Would also explain why his throwing has been even worse than usual at trying to catch guys stealing. He just never could stay on the field long enough to show what he could have been. 2015 was a nice season for him and 2 huge playoff HR’s that helped the Mets take the lead and win but the guy just can’t stay off the DL. Nido called up. Looks like Plawecki will get the lions share of PT. I’m betting Sandy isn’t content with that and will be monitoring the trade wire.

Tierlifer Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 I want Realmutto! Mets have the pieces despite how “the experts” value the farm.

Jeter wants to run a poverty franchise for some reason... He has 2 more years of arbitration I believe. Sandy might go for that...
Gugny Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Any word on Plawecki's hand? Nido might be the guy tomorrow. That's scary.

I’m sure it swelled up like a balloon on the flight home and this morning. Good shot we see Nido play Fri/Sat is my guess.
