So, to recap: the Mets batted Conforto, their best hitter since the ASB, in the #8 spot last night, and benched him today for Bruce. To make room for Bruce, they demoted Dom Smith instead of cutting Reyes or Bautista. They're carrying three catchers. They're 14 games under .500.

Now "Mickey Callaway" (hint: Jeff Wilpon through Mickey Callaway) is saying that Jay Bruce will play "quite a lot" at 1B.

FUCKING WHY

YOU HAVE A FUCKING ELITE 1B PROSPECT AT AAA WHO IS READY TO GO

WHY ARE YOU FUCKING BLOCKING HIM BY PLAYING A CHRONICALLY INJURED OUTFIELDER OUT OF POSITION AT FIRST BASE WHO HASN'T HIT FOR SHIT IN A YEAR AND A HALF ANYWAY

AND AGAIN I ASK WHY IN THE FUCKING ASSHOLE IS CONFORTO SITTING FOR HIM TODAY

god this team makes me want to fucking break things

please someone poison the wilpons

please

WHY IS CONFORTO SITTING

HE WAS JUST OFF TWO FUCKING DAYS AGO

this team INSISTS, FUCKING INSISTS on startign aging vets whenever they can. In a fucking lost season theyre squeezing these old farts in as much as they can, like on purpose.

Why is this happening

After a bullshit ball 4 call from the ump on the prior batter when he should've been out of the inning yeah

degrom didnt have his best stuff today and still went 6 and struck out TEN , and gave up just 1 earned run, despite being squeezed by the umpire multiple times, not to mention that foul tip missed call that wound up being a passed ball (though that went down as unearned so that's not as significant to his case. but unearned runs still have meaning)

Just wait until they call up Tebow in late September instead of actual prospects.

You make this joke but it was going to happen over actual prospects like literally 2 months ago, but he's out for the season with an injury. You'd hear new and new hints every week that he was going to be called up soon. It's no joke. It's real life. I'm sure the front office was super disappointed at the lost opportunity to sell tickets instead of making the team better for 2019

Jeff Wilpon cares more about trying to improve to the 22nd best record in MLB over the 24th more than trying to improve the team for 2019.

I dont even get most of the wilpon-logic anymore.

why would you insist on playing 38 year old washed up vets over 24 year old prospects who are actually part of the future? like on a basically every day basis?

Why are they priortizing winning games in a lost season of 2018 over trying to see what you have for 2019? It makes NO sense. Other teams that are out of it (and some in it) with young kids are giving them the playing time they deserve. Look at Acuna and Soto. The Braves and Nats called them up early and had them play every day with profit. The Mets waited until fucking August to call up McNeil and even then he only starts every other day but he's their most exciting position player right now outside of Nimmo (who obviously is hurt because fuck the Phillies for hitting him)

And Alonso is a super stud tearing it up ALL YEAR LONG at AAA (so was McNeil) and they won't even call him up. Why ???? Why insist on playing these old shits ? What benefit????

the only reason to force him to continue to play in LF is if you are trying to destroy the franchise. there is no other reason.

mlb is fine that this continues to happen, that the wilpons run the club like a bunch of blind poo-throwing monkeys

under normal circumstances I would say "well good. hopefully everyone learns their fucking lesson to not play their prospects out of position" except obviously theyre not going to. and as im literally fucking typing this, i hear callaway say "well hes gonna learn by playing there more and more. thats why we had him get reps in LF in AAA."

He's supposed to be an elite 1B defensively. he hasnt been great defensively in the tiny bit of reps hes gotten there so far in his career but the mets are gonna say "nope fuck all that. we dont care. stick him in LF. we need to have jay bruce play 1B"

hi im sorry in advance:

hey its a day that ends in a Y that means there has to be more mets abject fucking disaster

Nimmo placed on the DL 3 days after "he'll be fine, doesnt need the DL"

fuck the phillies and fuck ranger suarez for killing the Mets sunshine.

mets lineup today benches conforto and McNeil for no reason. THESE TWO SHOULD BE PLAYING EVERYDAY. ITS IN-FUCKING-EXCUSABLE THAT THEY AREN'T.

THEY ARE PLAYING FUCKING AUSTIN JACKSON AND FUCKING JOSE FUCKING REYES OVER PLAYERS WHO WILL BE ON THE TEAM NEXT YEAR. WHO NEED AS MANY ABS AS POSSIBLE

and worst of fucking all

Smith is being called up to replace Nimmo. Former 1b prospect. Former top 100. He has yet to get consistent daily ABs in the majors since 2016. BUT THEY WON'T PLAY HIM. THEY LITERALLY SAID "dont expect him to get much playing time"

WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCKING SHIT IN MY FUCKING DICK

HE WAS A FORMER TOP 100 PROSPECT. HE HAS NEVER GOTTEN A CHANCE TO PLAY CONSISTENTLY. He's sucked but we've never seen him for an extended period. Why do they ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO PLAY HIM??? IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE. COMPLETELY MIND BOGGLING even for the wilpons. Theres literally NO LOGICAL REASON to sit him and insist youre doing so. This all makes no fucking goddamn sense. This is beyond infuckingfuriating. The wilpons have to ruin prospects at every turn

Please god, someone save us from the wilpons. please god make them stop ruining our team

why is there always some new horrible shit every fucking day with this team

Also btw

Brandon Nimmo got hit in the knuckle (not intentionally) by the Phillies awful Ranger Suarez in the drubbing, and had to leave the game. I was pretty mad at him (clearly an accident) just because he may have killed the Mets sunshine. XRay was ok (that doesn't mean anything though, as we saw with d'Arnaud earlier, who had a clean X-Ray but not MRI).

It actually was ruled in play since it was off his hands and the bat and he was thrown out at first while he was crumpled on the ground in pain. Luckily he's ok?

Best part was he said:
I saw the ball go [toward third] and I was like, Ah, crud! And then I felt the pain and I was like, Oh, crud, it hit my finger! and went to the ground.

"Crud", That's so Nimmo.

~Wigs~ Dp Guru Wins over Me: 1, Fantasy Baseball Wins over Dp: 3
2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS

I more mean to say that he wasn't intentionally trying to HURT him.
---

~Wigs~ Dp Guru Wins over Me: 1, Fantasy Baseball Wins over Dp: 3
2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS

And to follow up on that. I think that's fair. We're all saying it looked like he hit him on purpose, but can we really claim to know that? How do we know he wasn't just trying to pitch tight and inside, which is perfectly fine, and something you generally want to do to someone hitting as well as Acuna, and the pitch slid away more than he expected? And even if he was being more cavalier in not caring about hitting him, by cutting it close inside, we shouldn't really have any reason to think he was aiming for a certain part of his body. Like, maybe he was. But really, I think probably not.

After thinking about all this more, I don't really think it was as intentional as we all made it out to be. Still, I'd be pissed if I were a Braves fan, and as a baseball fan, I'm upset that it happened, and perhaps Urena needs to learn to control his pitches more before he risks pitching inside that much - but I think he just tried to brush him back, pitch close, and have a mindset of "if it hits him, it hits him" while not actively trying to hit him, just not caring if he did, figuring if it did, it probably wouldn't hurt him. He fucked up.

Which is why it's literally indefensible, and trying to rationalize/defend it makes you a legitimately terrible human being

ok. everyone is welcome to their opinion. just because you disagree is not grounds to call someone a horrible human being. Keith actually went on to explain that he didn't think Urena was trying to hit a sensitive part of his body on purpose. That Acuna raised his elbow. I still don't really agree with Keith, but I understand where he's coming from. He explained himself a little more:
