Reminder also that the Wilpons/Sandy "sold" many of their worthwhile players last year: a small fire-sale last year netted the Wilpons cash and no players of note. Then they kept the cash instead of reinvesting.

I don't have the numbers to back it up, but I feel like the Rangers have actually left less runners on base this year than in the past couple years (Where it felt like they were really, really bad about it)

Granted, if I'm right about that, it would 100% be because they're putting fewer runners on base LOL

the mets were epically bad with RISP last year, and in 2016.

they solved that problem this year though, by a different solution I'm sure you can guess

and see ? mets don't score again beyond the first inning. the game was clearly over the moment the yankees tied it. Not being a pessimist. Just real. This is what actually happens. Every time

Also Cespedes had a setback during his rehab, was supposed to be back maybe next series.

So no, eaed. I have no reason to be happy as a Mets fan, ever. And those rare times when I do feel happiness, it is swiftly crushed in the most demoralizing way possible. So it's easier to just not feel happy.

Smoltz just said "Safe to say the yankees are going to be in the postseason". wish i could hear this about the mets in June.

Not in baseball. when you're a mets fan, even good news is met with worse news.

also I just want to add about the DH, if your pitcher pulls a hamstring (or... two hamstrings in the case) running 90 feet in a straight line, I don't think adding the DH is going to solve anything.

also chapman got hurt later just pitching normally so gotta not allow pitchers to pitch too!

this is the hill I will die on

this game was over once the unearned run scored anyway, so it didn't matter.

at least the mets lost in 9 rather then drag it out 13 innings again only to lose at 1am

lol yeah. Sandy usually knows how to get value (assuming that they don't force the other team to eat the contract which happens with Fredo and Jeff), he'd probably insist on Torres as a start.

I think there'd have to be better fits from the other side point of view though. Would the Yankees really want to give up talent that's actually a contributing part of the MLB team as opposed to prospects who aren't ready yet? I feel like the Indians would be one of the better fits

Of course, I still dont really want to trade him at all. they still have the pieces. they have to spend this coming off season to justify it , and spend for real. none of this fake bullshit.

Consequently, that run, being entirely on Bruce's arm and Gonzo's error, and not the fault of deGrom at all, should really DL Bruce with his bad foot, and bench Gonzo because dude can't hit anymore, and call up a mr. pete alonso

no way you'd get him without torres and/or andujar imo. the one you proposed with Andujar might get it done?

its irrelevant though because like i said before, Fred Wilpon is a moronic stubborn jackass and wouldn't make a trade with them if it might help them win a championship.

like he is one of the best pitchers, arguably THE best, in the game right now and controllable for 2.5 years. the value in order to get him is absolutely astronomical

Fyi Yankees fans you're not getting deGrom or Syndergaard anyway because Fred Wilpon is a petty moron who refuses to deal with the Yankees on "principle".

And they're actually not a great fit anyway. Most of your prospect talent is already too relevant to the team. It'd cost at least gleyber and Clint Frazier to START. I dont think they can trade deGrom at this pt because I don't think they'll get truly proper value nor do I trust the FO to get it anyway

Alright Wigs, I'll see your Mets incompetence and raise you some Orioles incompetence:

http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/23729870/real-not-chris-davis-worst-season-all

Chris Davis's on-pace-for in fWAR would rank him 81892 out of 81892 player-seasons since 1901. By NEARLY A FULL WIN.

That's right, the Orioles are not going to be able to pay Machado because we splurged on the literal worst player of all time.

Thanks Angelos.

Angelos is def the 2nd worst owner in baseball and top 5 in sports yeah for sure.

This is similar to the wilpons spending a buttload on David Wright whose contract is insured so they only have to pay him like $5 million (insurance pays the other $20 million if he plays like 80 games or less each year) yet when calculating and announcing their budget they act as if that full 25 million counts against their full budget. They include the 25M instead of the 5M to justify not spending more. So they'll splurge on someone and lie about it to justify not spending.

Also in that report I posted you'll see that the rest of the mets front office LITERALLY DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE BUDGET IS. The wilpons don't tell them because they make it up as they go along and the front office has to operate blindly knowing it's low but not how low it is while constantly having the wilpons being No Men to everyone they want to sign anyway.

They were all set to sign Jason kipnis in the offseason and wilpons nixed the deal after it was in place at the last minute cuz it was over their invisible budget. (I mean thatvwound up working out cuz he's been awful but that's besides the point)

Syndergaard will not start Sunday. Scratched. Still has finger swelling and pain. I guarantee you like I LITERALLY just posted about yesterday this was a wilpons doing. Like I said not only do they interfere in the daily medical shit and try to force guys back too soon and make them pitch through injuries and call them wimps when they Don't, they also are LITERALLY OBSESSED with the Yankees and the only reason they were rushing him back was so their most marketable pitcher would pitch on national tv against the Yankees. A move solely For money and marketing.

I'm telling you fucking everything our owners do are only in the interest of money and spite. Not what's good for the team.

Also Familia got hurt and is on the dl too with shoulder pain

So lugo starts Sunday so were down our 2 best relievers

Heres one excerpt


According to Pedro Martinez, Jeff Wilpon forced the then injured ace pitcher to start a meaningless game at the end of the 2005 season because they wanted to sell more tickets. While Im the boss here, youre going to have to do what I say, Wilpon reportedly said to Martinez, who gave in and pitched.

https://goodfundies.com/a-complete-history-of-media-reports-chronicling-the-wilpons-meddling-in-new-york-mets-baseball-6c0055acaa2

I really think you all should read this article top but it's quite long. At least skim maybe?

The word needs to get out as much as possible about how truly disgusting the wilpons are. I know y'all know they're awful but you may not have a good grasp on the scope of how truly catastrophic they are to the health of the franchise they own. I only hope mlb one day realizes this and can do something but it seems unlikely they can force out ownership sue simply to sheer complete incompetence

This article sums up a lot of my feelings on the Mets very well and is a ton of the season why mets fans are fed up and angry so much. It's far far from being about just poor play. It's simple easy mismanagement that even a slight bit of competence could correct in enormous ways. You should read this if you get the chance.

Just imagine if YOUR team constantly did stuff like this (in addition to awful owners who time and time again prove strongly that they care more about making money and looking good in the public eye than fielding a winning team... and meddled in the team's injury affairs to their own liking in purely destructive ways . Burly refusing to spend money on the team in order to improve it)

To clarify for those not watching, the 2 Cubs runs that scored that inning came on a steal of home (during an attempted pickoff at first), and a "sac fly" that was a few feet off the infield dirt because Jay Bruce didn't call off the second baseman, and wound up catching it at a weird angle.

Wonder if 2 runs have ever scored in the same inning like that before- Steal of Home and a Sac Fly on a pop up to the 2nd baseman.
