It's early, but Flacco looks like absolute horsesh!t and the Jets playcalling is trash. Just an overmatched poor coaching staff assembled by Saleh. And Cory Davis with another absolute inexcusable drop
Looking like one of those games where we'll be lucky to score a field goal or two
-
Carrasco is the wrong guy to run out there today. No surprise also that the Marlins actually decide to compete now that they see the Mets than the usual apathetic forfeit they pull every game vs Atlanta. If would shock me if Walker can get through 6 giving up 2 or fewer runs. He always strikes me as a guy who will wilt in big games. Lopez (and then Luzardo) we'll probably make look like Cy Young

deGrom better be ready to go 8 scoreless and this team better hit in that wild card game...it's a guarantee now
-
Well so much for that, they go back to their no hitting losing to bad teams ways. Now the only thing keeping us out of 2nd is the Mariners. Go Mariners

If Flacco ever won a game or two to start the season the fans and the media are gonna turn on Zach hella quick if he doesn’t come back guns blazing. Especially after Mike White’s Bengal game last year and the preseason wonder being cut
If God willing the Jets are somehow 2-2 with Flacco playing well, and Wilson is 100% and ready to return, I wouldn't automatically hand him the job. Frankly it's not like he blew Flacco away during training camp when they were both healthy. Flacco has been doing well since becoming the #1. If the offense is rolling and we have a chance for some kind of season then keep on with Flacco until you have a reason not to.

LOL so now we went from Zach being 50-50 for Week 1 to out three weeks?! Did he reaggravate something?
Apparently they were hinting at him playing to try and get the Ravens to have to prepare for both Flacco and Wilson and keep them wondering...which is typical NFL gamesmanship. Still it disappoints the fans that got their hopes up.
I'm not a big Wilson believer but it sucks that he can't hit the ground running with this offense and get a full year to be evaluated. Still at this moment going into Sunday...Flacco may actually give us a slightly better chance of winning than Wilson. Or maybe a bit more than slightly.

Was wondering when the injury bug would hit, as the Jets year after year for the past 3 or 4 years have been among the, if not THE most injured team in football. And of course it's this guy. For all the weight he's lost...his body just doesn't seem capable of holding up in the NFL. Seems to me at this point his Jets tenure is destined to end in disaster and disappointment
They are numbers wise the most injured team in football three years in a row. They have had the most injuries and to their most critical players yearly than any other NFL team. I don't think they've been exactly #1 every year since 2019 but one of them they were and the other two very near the top. Impossible to win in the NFL like that even with a genius GM. This may end up being Douglas undoing
Now Duane Brown is hurt (didn't miss a game last season) and headed to IR. The Jets will be rolling with Fant and Max Mitchell.
Flacco better be ready to take some shots Sunday

Mets have handled the Marlins so far...not too worried about them. We'll see if the DH sweep got the ship righted. Even with the three-game losing streak, Mets are 8-5 in their last 18...it's not like they're on some major skid. If the Mets do lose this series, yeah, time to start to wonder. But we gotta be fair...this team has avoided the extended slump ALL SEASON. The angry Mets fan in me definitely comes raging out sometimes, but I gotta remind myself that this team hasn't deserved that...not yet.
That 3 game losing streak got the joyous anti Met elements that exist in the media to get positively giddy. "It's a CHOKE" It's a collapse! The Mets were literally on something like a 28-14 run in their last 42 and people were actually saying they were collapsing because the Braves tied us
-
I'm worried about the Marlins series. They did just beat the Phillies last night, and had lost 9 in a row before that...matters little. This is the Marlins World Series. They will approach these games and play them very differently from their usual roll over and die routine vs Atlanta (they have lost 7 in a row to the Braves)
Atlanta is in Seattle. Mariners have been playing excellent baseball of late (15-6 in their last 21) they absolutely need to take 2 of 3. If they can do that and we can do the same (I don't expect a sweep the Marlins always get some kind of fluky BS nonsense wins over us in their building)
Atlanta has 9 vs Seattle/San Fran/Philly. They are so due for a lackluster 4-5 stretch or something. Can that just happen already?

deGrom has gotta be the very best that I’ve ever seen, when it comes to finding a way to turn in a good outing despite not having his best stuff. I know facing the Pirates doesn’t hurt, but not like he hasn’t done this a lot in his career.
2015 Game 5 vs that Dodgers on the road. He was struggling early on...did not have his best stuff but buckled down, held LA to 2 in the first and then gave us 5 more scoreless.
He had given up 4 straight hits, Dodgers had 2 on, 1 out...that game was an eyelash away from being a disaster
-
terribly worried about playing the Marlins. Don't care that they've lost 9 in a row...they're not playing the Phillies, they're not playing the Braves, they're playing us and this is their World Series. I hope the bats truly did wake up and this is not just a 1 game anomaly. We've got Walker and Carrasco pitching two of these games and we're going up against 3 very solid starter in Miami, Cabrera, Lopez, and Luzardo...this is worrisome. I hope Seattle can take 2 of 3 from Atlanta. The Mariners have been playing sensational baseball of late.
-
If they don't sweep tomorrow then forget it...the division will be gone and gone for good. I just don't see Atlanta losing again. This is insane.
Everybody shares the blame and you have to look at what they did all season...but Carrasco and Walker both choked and cowered in two games against garbage opposition. Two games that we absolutely needed to have and they didn't give the team a chance
Bassitt and deGrom have to absolutely be perfect tomorrow with where this garbage offense is right now. Not adding another legitimate deadline bat has absolutely killed us
-
And against a sh!t offense that barely tries against Atlanta...Walker throws up all over himself. We're going to be tied by the end of the night
-
This is getting beyond frustrating, the Nats don't even take the field against the Braves, but they're awake and alive vs us.
Will Atlanta lose again?
-
oh crap crap crap. Something is up with Scherzer as he takes himself out of the game
-
Also it looks like Baty tore something in his thumb, so his season is over as the Mets promote Terrance Gore
-
What can you say...an absolutely critical victory (particularly since Atlanta won) and a brilliant play by Nimmo. Strange to see them actually WIN a game where they make a spectacular outfield catch in too. Usually that's a moment that precludes a gut wrenching loss.
The offense is still dragging along. Only 8 runs scored in our last 4 games...luckily they've gone 2-2 in that stretch. deGrom just showed how valuable and brilliant he is last night.
Atlanta certainly wasn't going to lose another one (when is the last time they lost 3 in a row anyway...) but another game bleeds off the calendar and they're no closer than 3, and we're almost out of this nightmare stretch of having to play one good team after another. Still one more to go with LA (kershaw vs Bassitt) maybe they can scratch out a win today but Kershaw is the last guy you want to see when your offense is in a hitting slump.
-
For all the Streveler hype...looks like they're cutting him. Fans are in a frenzy over this, but I mean it's not like the guy hasn't been on an NFL roster before (2 years in Arizona where he threw 25 passes and completed 17 of them) as well as a CFL body of work. He's done this mostly against guys who will be crisscrossing the country looking for a practice squad to latch onto. I don't know, part of me wants to believe we have something special but in reality they see guys like Streveler every day, they know what he can and can't do. Have to trust them here
-
Dodgers lost Tony Gonsolin (forearm issue...never a good sign) he's been having an insane season. 16-1. Missing him will be a big plus for us
Phillies were up 7-0 last night in the middle innings and LOSE 13-7. About as crushing as it gets. If they don't make the postseason there are going to be a lot of games they look back upon and shake their heads
Cards could be a sneaky good threat this year. 25-10 in their last 35. Goldschmidt and Arenado are absolute monsters this year. Guys like Brendan Donovan are tough tough outs who grind out AB's and get on base. Even Pujols...22 hits in his last 49 ab's

Kind of a surprise announcement at the end of the intros that Willie Mays’ #24 is being retired. I wouldn’t have thought to do it since Willie was only a symbolic Met at the end of his career but if it is something the original owner (Joan Payson) wanted well, vaya con dios and at least the man is still alive for the honor
Yea. I mean I never really thought of him as a Met or an integral part of Mets history. Just a cool footnote that he played here...not somebody whose number should be retired. However after finding out that it was promised to him by Payson then I can see Cohen sort of trying to right a wrong here. Since Mays was a Met only 3 guys have worn it it. Cano...Rickey Henderson. So two baseball greats (though Cano's career is now clouded with PED's) and one scrub who wore 24 in the early 90s and was pressured to change it due to backlash it seems. Really for the last 30+ years they have only issued it when they have a veteran big name potential Cooperstown players who has a history of wearing that number.
Stengel having his number retired bugs me. His impact on the franchise wasn't big enough to warrant that
-
fwiw Naquin who started off so well here...is a pitiful 2 for his last 27 at the plate. With just two walks during that stretch which dates back to Aug 12th. Automatic out when he's at the plate
-
That was absolutely pathetic, to lose 1-0 and get 3 hits with a chance to expand the lead to 4 games (and the Cards did their job, beating the Braves again) and they totally don't even show up at the ballpark. I mean German Marquez really? We can't score 2 runs off of German Marquez
The Dodgers are up next, while the Rockies will be rolling over and dying for Atlanta. Good thing is after LA, the Mets have a very very easy schedule for about 3 weeks.
If we can get out of the LA series and be 2 games back I will be feeling good about the stretch run. LA scares me...they've gone into juggernaut mode. Something like 43-10 in their last 53. if they can win 2 here I would be absolutely elated
Also potential good news here..,
-
I just think the Mets are gassed, a stretch like this vs good teams (something like 18 of the last 21 vs Phillies/Braves/NYY) the injuries that they've dealt with of late...not major crippling but it had an impact...they have that epic comeback again at CBP and have to turn around and go to Yankee Stadium the next day. Seems like they absolutely just hit a wall
The lead is going to be 1.5 as the Pirates will be forfeiting against the Braves once again, but hopefully this Rockies series is a chance for them to get well. Huge game for deGrom coming up
-
Goodness did they need this in the worst way last night. Marte got it going. He has been such an important under the radar catalyst and important part of so many important Met moments this year. Baty had his storybook first at bat which is good to see...not an indicator of anything going forward but it would really be awesome if he could go on a nice run here. He's been Binghamton's best hitter.
That 7th inning terrified me and nearly unraveled. And of course the disaster that is May allowed the tying run to get to the plate...but was ultimately able to close it out.
This is definitely a game they lose in previous years under Callaway and Rojas. But luckily this year these crippling losses that spiral into 8 losses in 10...10 in 12 just never seem to materialize. They stop the bleeding. If deGrom can get them a W today it would be absolutely enormous. it would be a split that would feel like a series win

The defense looks good but what will happen here is they will eventually get tired and buckle as the comedic sorry excuse for an offense continues to embarrass themselves
