Willie Mays Hayes’d
Or Ricky Vaughn’d ????

OMG to WTF

 

[MadRU]

 

[Anon1751632159]

On a positive note …..the Mets in game production team is on point …. As soon as Soto was out at first they immediately started Alonso’s walk up music to try and drowned out the boos

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Ventura, Beltran and Piazza also very good/great. Lindor will be great and Soto will be great as well.

Was Beltran good in his his first year with the Mets? I can't recall. And Piazza came in a trade.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Big time response today.

 

[gmay8]

Don’t worry guys. This is a good team.

Beltran was not good in 2005, his first year as a Met. He exploded (in a good way) in 2006 and remained consistently very good through 2009. Had a down year in 2010, regained his form and restored his value in the first half of 2011, and was traded at mid season for Wheeler.

Ventura is probably the best example of a Met free agent signing who excelled in his first year.

Are you looking for bats only? You only have to go back to last year to see Manaea and Seve did better than their previous years. Senga 2 years before that had a very successful first season in the majors as a FA.

 

[Anon1751632159]

2.5 back
Wheeler start pushed back due to shoulder soreness . MRI came back clean Most innings pitched in mlb over the last 5 years . Think it’s him and Webb from SF top 2

issue is Mets are only 2.5 back of Phillies but now there are several teams ready to push Mets out of wild card with another $hitty weekend

You know that guy who said "It's on the Internet so it must be true"? He was lying.

Do yourself a favor. Do me a favor. Do us all a favor. Google "New York Porch". Come back with any questions and we'll be happy to assist further.

Where is Jorge Lopez when you need him.

[Doctor Worm]

In case you're interested in Soto's actual postgame comments.

 

[Doctor Worm]

All good. As a rule, if you see an outlandish quote or story from some source you never heard of, and nobody else is running with it, well...

https://pix11.com/sports/ap-mlb-is-calling-up-its-first-female-umpire-promoting-jen-pawol-for-saturdays-marlins-braves-game

Well, she probably can’t be any worse than what we’ve seen already.

 

[RutgersNJ]

Ventura, Beltran and Piazza also very good/great. Lindor will be great and Soto will be great as well.

I agree 100%

 

[RutgersNJ]

This thread sucks. Enjoy the misery, Mets fans.

This from a guy who's posted numerus negative comments, are you frigging kidding me? When the Mets turn things around don't come back how's that? Front runner fan, you belong in the Dead Zone thread.

 

[RUBob75]

My biggest concern is that they look listless and playing without emotion!

I know it’s AA but Ryan Clifford looks pretty good.

How about this hard fact?

Looks good to me.

 

[willisneverrana43]

That’s just what not hitting looks like.

My biggest concern is that they’re not hitting. My next biggest concern is that they’re not pitching particularly well either.

I know it’s AA but Ryan Clifford looks pretty good.

2 HR game is always nice to see! People forget he's still young for his level so his acclimation this year is another positive development that we've seen this season. Our best power hitting prospect by far.

 

[Doctor Worm]

My biggest concern is that they look listless and playing without emotion!

HOW CAN YOU TELL?

Because they're not throwing helmets, breaking bats over their knees, or punching walls in the dugout?

How does a team show that it isn't listless, that it is playing with emotion? My #1 answer is: on the basepaths. That is where you can steal bases (something the Mets are very good at), take the extra base, and do all those wonderful things that fans love to see.

Problem is, you can't steal first base.

I would add that playing with too much emotion (otherwise known as "pressing") doesn't help. On the contrary, good hitters will tell you that when they are on a hot streak, they feel very relaxed at the plate.

I don't think I've ever seen a MLB fan base watch their minor league system as much as Met fans on this site. Congrats to you for your dedication to the entire program and not just the guys on the field in the bigs.
It's next to impossible to follow the Padre minor league prospects as Preller trades them all every year at the Deadline.

My Son and I went to spring training this year to check out the younger players.

We also go to the minor league BlueClaws (Phillies) when they are playing the Mets farm team, the Brooklyn Cyclones.

And if Somerset was closer or Trenton still had the Thunder, we’d go there to check out the Mets farm team too.

Has to be pretty cool to be able to do that. If I lived near Iowa or South Bend, I would definitely `be checking out the Cubs' younger players. They also have an affiliate in Myrtle Beach. That wouldn't be bad either...
