NJDevs4978 Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 Naravaez to the DL for at least two months, good grief...at least it gives Alvarez a shot. Heaven forbid he doesn't do well, I hope it doesn't shy the Mets away from promoting the other kids. God knows they find excuses to block every prospect in tarnation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 Only the Mets would get everyone excited about Alvarez for a day and a half, then throw a wet blanket on it by starting Nido in the home opener after a day off lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 You can already see the difference in the bullpen this year, no lead is safe except maybe for when Robertson pitches. Everyone else looks like 2019-20 Mets bullpen bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a team that’s going to have to fight and claw to reach 90 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 I don’t want to hear Carrasco is struggling because he can’t adjust to the pitch clock, figure something out cause if he can’t, dude looks cooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Mets now 6-5. Max with 5 scoreless but needed a ton of pitches to get through them. At least they’re not digging themselves a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 Yeah at least Max didn't blow up like last year in the playoffs. I was getting acid flashbacks when I saw Scherzer vs. Darvish in Game 1 against San Diego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Only a half-game out so far. Of course it doesn't really matter that much this early...but sometimes you can get off to one of those 3-8 kinds of starts and just never quite get out of the hole. So at least even with that brutal series against the Brewers, the start to the season is at least decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 At least they nutted up against San Diego and beat an actual major league team. Even if we didn’t face their early season ace in one Seth Lugo 🫣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Mets to me seem to be missing some of the energy and optimism that permeated last years team. Last year (up until Atlanta beat us out of the division) felt like a fresh start, a new chapter...optimism abound. This year sort of feels more businesslike. The team is expected to win. While they haven't stumbled out of the gate...they haven't exactly come out roaring either For all the $ they've spent...I just can't believe how ho-hum the lineup. It's still very early...but in all of baseball they are 28th in team batting average, 25th in runs scored, 26th in slugging, 28th in hits. I mean that's just not gonna cut it. They need to go out and beat up (sweep) the A's here before they have to play LA. Edited April 14, 2023 by '7' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Yeah a blah start to the season for sure...but I'll take it over a disastrous one. Must be weird to be the Yanks and already be five games back, despite doing fine from a W-L standpoint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going from the heightened intensity of the WBC probably doesn’t help players get motivated for April baseball, never mind the natural letdown that comes after a 101-win season leads to a three game exit. Doesn’t help our collective attention spans that the Devils are in the playoffs and Armageddon is upon us there either.

NJDevs4978 Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) Wonder if they fiddled with the baseball again, seems like walks are up all over the place in MLB but maybe that's just me seeing the Marlins and A's for too many games so far.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 So the A’s hit two batters and managed to walk SEVENTEEN hitters. Goddamn that’s heinous…never seen anything like that. The A’s pitchers combined to throw for 245 pitches…holy fvck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
