OT: NY Mets 2025 Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
How can you fire a pitching coach ?
You’ll mess up the continuity !!
Hefner has all his pitchers pitching like dog
all at the same time !!THAT TAKES SKILL !!!!
some of you guys wouldn’t have even had one tank Built until after the Germans captured Montreal
Paul Blackburn just got fired to make room for Nolan McLean. Does that help?
Seriously, nobody is getting fired this late in the season. After the season, if there is no turnaround, some of the coaches will be in jeopardy. I don't think Mendoza is going anywhere, although he will be on the hot seat if they don't get off to a good start next year.
Note I said "if there is no turnaround". Just as this team was not as good as it looked earlier, they are not as bad as they look now. 40 games left. There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done.
Only prediction I have about this game is that if McLean has a sucessful debut(which I hope) there won't be much run support to back him.
A or B ???
A.) Mets played it perfect , kid had enough time to work on everything and was finally ready
B.) Why the hell couldn’t he have been up here a month ago ?? Did he really improve that much in his last 4 starts in AAA ??

Excellent question. I will go with A. Remember this is the first year that McLean has been a full time pitcher
What a terrible send
the camera angle was great and perfect to see Lindor wasn’t at 3rd when the LF picked up the ball , shouldn’t be able to yell he’s out as soon as OF releases ball

Follow up
McLean’s performance make Stearns think harder about Sproat and/or Tong ???
Nice thing about having Nolan is that he can serve as an extra PH or even DH/3B/OF in a pinch
No chance for Tong IMO, they'll give him the rest of the year in Syracuse.
Sproat maybe. Starting Tuesday, the Mets play 16 days in a row. I expect that they will add a sixth starter for that stretch. Could be Montas. Could be an unexciting choice like Waddell. Or it could be Sproat. We shall see.
Zack Wheeler injury update: Phillies ace has blood clot near shoulder
Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 16 with a blood clot near his right shoulder.

Phils have actually now lost 4 of the their last 5. Shame that we hadnt capitalized on that before today.
Nolan McLean wasn't the only pitcher with a successful Mets debut today. Jonah Tong's line in Syracuse: 5.2 innings, 90 pitches, 0 runs, 3 hits, 2 BB's, 9 K's.
100% the issue that caused the slump- we also saw some of his worst defense as well. Healed and playing so much better
Fun fact about McLean. He was originally drafted by the Orioles in 2022, but they lowballed him in contract negotiations. It has been rumored that the O's didn't like his medicals, but that has never been confirmed. McLean did not sign and instead returned to college for his final year of eligibility. The Mets drafted and signed him in 2023. A Kumar Rocker type story, except we were the beneficiary.
Interesting story on McLean. Played football (3-star QB recruit) and baseball in high school. Played baseball at Oklahoma State, where his nickname was Cowboy Ohtani because he could pitch and hit, where he hit 19 home runs and 47 RBIs, while batting .500 as a sophomore.
In former Mets pitcher news, Wheeler moved to 15 day IL with a blood clot near his shoulder.
Nolan McLean: 3 things to know about NY Mets' top pitching prospect as he makes MLB debut
The Mets turn to top pitching prospect Nolan McLean on Saturday to try and alleviate some of their starting pitching woes. Here's what to know.

Some of its trusting his stuff , somebody is going to guess right and hit one 400 ft . Make sure it’s only a solo HR . Scherzer won a few Cy youngs giving up 30 solo HR
Ronnie always says even veterans shy away from a pitch if it gets hit hard, especially if they give up a HR
then Keith follows up … the hitters are getting paid too , it happens to everyone .
Cmon
Strike 3 to Harper for strike em out throw em out inning ending DP …
To missed call , ball 4 …
Then DP one hop to 3B who ole’s it for run scoring error , still one out
EDIT …turned it off already

Missed 2 DP’s on horrible throws and FIVE more runs just scored after not turning DP to end second inning
6-0
