@SNYtv And just like Mendoza we leave the leadoff hitter on first instead of stealing him and that HR scores one instead of 2.

Juan Soto with the 251st home run of his career and his 52nd career homer at Nationals Park

Again you leave your leadoff guy on 1st base to be victim to a double play. Seriously this stuff is just got to stop. He’s batting first for a reason.

@HowieRose Most fans had no idea who wore #8 until someone wrote it on X.

It appears that most fans are opposed to the Mets releasing #8 (to call up Nick Morabito) after having not issued it for 25 years. There’s been a debate over whether Gary Carter’s number should be retired, but to release it this 40th anniversary season of 1986 just seems wrong.

@SNYtv He probably should have dropped it.

Nick Morabito makes an incredible catch in foul territory!

Where do these clowns come from?

@Metsfan_1990 @DanBartels2 I think you should probably quit posting. You’re just an embarrassment to yourself at this point.

@MicParabolic @DanBartels2 Neither of them was called up to be a fill in. What a putrid attempt to make a point

The Mets are making moves. They DFA’d Tommy Pham, Andy Ibanez and now, Austin Slater. Their leash isn’t as long as it appears.

@FredoDaGawd7 It’s going to be interesting to see how they handle it.

I wonder what the Mets do when Lindor comes back if Vientos and Baty are still playing like this and Bichette goes back to normal

@Metsfan_1990 @DanBartels2 Even funnier is 20 minutes after I wrote that they called up Morabito.

@MicParabolic @DanBartels2 Promoting young players for a short stretch more often than not has a negative impact, so would have been silly

@metsbatflip1 I don’t think we will see Tong until he can iron out his pitch development. Realistically they could call him up but all he throws is a 4 seam and a change up so after 3-4 innings he is vulnerable to guys sitting on him.

Zach Thornton and Jonah Tong make the most sense for starts Wednesday and Thursday. Both TBA.

@SleeperMets I could get on board with this.

The Mets outfield for the time being COULD look like this: Nick Morabito — LF AJ Ewing — CF Carson Benge — RF Juan Soto — DH Gives Soto even more time to heal from his injury while only putting a bat in his hands.

@Masterflip_ @WillSammon That should have been the move before Slater and Ibanez.

Mets are promoting Nick Morabito, per @WillSammon WS type moves 🫶🏽 #lgm

@Metsfan_1990 @DanBartels2 Morabito is on the 40 man and Winker would be a better choice than all 3 and you still have Melendez. I get bodies but with the exception of Pham none of them should have seen the field.

@MicParabolic @DanBartels2 Needed bodies, nothing wrong with carrying them for a short period of time

@Metsmerized This being a bunt and not a suicide squeeze at least didn’t make a lot of sense but I guess it worked.

Woke up thinking about the bases loaded bunt

@NYNJHarper Baty is benefiting from having consistent play time and it shows. He is having some of the most productive at bats on the team. He chews up a lot of pitches and it usually leads to a walk or base hit.

Baty getting a lot of love for force-out play in the 11th, and rightly so, but earlier Vientos made a key play at 1B as well, nailing runner at plate w/quick throw. Impressed with how much Vientos has improved defensively. Started that great DP Sunday. Throws are strong./true.

@The_RadMan @Masterflip_ You’re kidding me right? There’s absolutely 0 circumstances where stealing in that situation shouldn’t happen. Unreliable batter, proven SB guy on 1st, 1 out. Everything 100% points to stealing in that situation.

@MicParabolic @Masterflip_ Can’t depend on Soto stealing all the time to avoid the GIDP. Mark gotta hit it in the air more.

Mark Vientos is not the type of hitter to protect Juan Soto in the lineup. Mets need a righty bopper #lgm

@MetsGiveMeAgita Last year at this time Mets fans were ready to tar and feather McNeil and now he’s the one that got away.

Is Marcus Semien really an upgrade from McNeil at the plate?

@TheMetsX Notice how regular play time and a consistent position makes for a better player!? Weird how that works.

Lineup is so much better when Brett Baty starts playing to his potential Playing everyday at his natural position has seemed to help get his bat going

@SNYtv Don’t give him any ideas!
