Jesus - that game had a lot going on.

 

Game gets tied on a little league play

 

The pitcher appealing a suspension stemming from the team he is facing melts down and blows a late lead on a walk (as a Met fan that was delicious)

 

The Mets closer gives up an apparent game tying HR (as a Met fan this was not tasty at all) - only to have it over-turned on review . BTW, I hate review but this is why we have it. 

 

Now if only Lindor could get a hit in a big spot - he had 3 chances tonight

 

 

 

Yeah, I'll take the W, but that was a rollercoaster.  Nice to see Alonso and Conforto remember how to hit.  Lindor will get there.

More of the same in a loss last night.

 

And two hitting coaches lost their jobs after the game ...  https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/31386424/new-york-mets-struggling-score-fire-hitting-coaches

We swapped out Chili Davis for the immortal Hugh Quattlebaum. I've heard nothing but positive things about Chili Davis since he's been here. This has the stench of an analytics-based decision - or maybe Lindor didn't get along with him. I'll be interested to see if the players have anything to say. On the surface I don't like the move.

 

And how about this quote from our GM (https://nypost.com/2021/05/04/mets-fire-hitting-coaches-chili-davis-tom-slater/)

 

“This was a really difficult decision to make, but the reason we felt like it was the right decision was based on a vision for what we want our major league hitting program to be,” Scott said. “There are certain things, the process under the hood is what’s important. It’s not about results.”

 

Wtf? It's all about results.

Last year, the Mets were horrid with RISP and the trend has continued through this very young season.  My guess is that Davis was put on notice before the season started - as he should have been.

 

It's tough to blame the hitting coach, but we both know that's how it works.

 

Lindor better get his head out of his ass soon.

How much longer can Rojas keep him in the 2 hole?  This guy doesnt have a clue at the plate right now.  Wainwright made him seem like he never seen a curve ball in his life before.  Absolutely ridiculous.

He's getting schooled up there.  Way out in front of everything.  Rojas needs to move him to 6 or 7.

Is anyone as excited as I am for the start of the MLB season?

 

This is our year.

There are two types of opening day in sports.

 

1. Football season. It doesn't get any better than this

2. Everything else. 

 

The Mets on paper have a good team but I think they could use more pitching. A 3rd starter behind the big 2 and relief pitching.

Well-deserved.

I know its not official, but with the Olson trade yesterday, Freddie is basically gone, it will be tough to see him play in another jersey

[Nineforty]

I hear ya Bray. I quickly pivoted to "eff him" mode if he signs with LA. My friend is still sending me sad face texts only lol... 

 

Obviously will love 'em for what he has done, but as a fan, I'm super excited for Olson and ready to turn on Freddie (in a non-toxic way of course). I'm sure its just a defense mechanism in my stupid brain

Gotta think LA is the most likely.  I hate them.

Agreed, it is his hometown team, and yes I despise them as well. Anywhere but LA is fine really, well maybe I should say anywhere but LA and NL East haha

[Gugny]

Well .... two bits of good news today.

 

One - Familia will definitely not be back.

Two - Because the Braves signed him!

 

Bum.

Where did you see this? I hope we didn’t sign him, he always gave us a chance late in games against the Mets 😁

 

edit: I think I just saw he signed with the Phillies so good for both the Mets and Braves
