Just let Bo focus on hitting and put Baty at 3rd

I’ve missed watching the Mets not being able to hit some random mediocre pitcher

Get paid a combined 120 mil and can’t get a run home

@jonsnow0704 If he walks because he cant play 3rd then go ahead. He shouldn’t automatically get to play the field because he makes more money. Do what’s best for the team

@blux279 It does when he signed here to play third and its Game 2. You want him to walk after this year cause we decided to DH him in April?

We got Baty at DH so we can have that at 3rd, makes no sense

@LFGDevils @JMC9787 I’m aware but still anything could happen, does that mean no pros should compete in international competitions?

@blux279 @JMC9787 Nahhhhh that’s the point right there man. These guys are pushing themselves way harder than spring training ball. You know that. You’re just wasting my time now.

It’s kinda a joke this WBC final is being played in the US and the ballpark tonight will probably be like 60% Venezuela fans.

@LFGDevils @JMC9787 Same thing could happen in spring training

@blux279 @JMC9787 I am. Someone’s season could go down the tubes on any play.

@LFGDevils @JMC9787 Speak for yourself, I obviously don’t want my players getting hurt but that’s not what I’m thinking while watching them play

@blux279 @JMC9787 When we’re hoping our players don’t get hurt more than winning the tournament, we really don’t. Stop lying to yourself.

@LFGDevils @JMC9787 You literally said “we don’t really care”

@blux279 @JMC9787 Yeah bro we care, just not nearly as much. Back to my original fucking point. Jesus Christ dude.

@LFGDevils @JMC9787 No but that doesn’t mean I dont care, just not on the same level which I dont think you understand. My closer had a season ending injury last WBC, was I upset that he got hurt, yes. Does that mean I like the event any less, no

@blux279 @JMC9787 If I offered you a deal and said USA will win the WBC, but Juan Soto would get hurt and be out for the season. Do you sign up for that? Then sit down please. We’re having fun tonight but the real season starts next week.

@GiraffeNeckMarc None of these guys would be able to hit a juco pitcher right now

So DeRosa just leaves Raleigh on the bench? I don’t understand it one bit

@LFGDevils @JMC9787 I care about winning the World Series more than anything in sports. And I hope our players don’t get hurt, but that doesn’t mean I’m not invested and care about the US winning

@blux279 @JMC9787 Nah not really. If you really care about winning the World Series you just hope your guys don’t get hurt here. Sure, I’d like the US to win, but I don’t care even in the same fucking stratosphere as a World Series.

@LUISGARCIASZN @BNightengale His fault for giving up 2 whole runs not the offense for not doing anything against Eduardo Rodriguez

@BNightengale Nolan McLean will forever have a hater in me

Nolan McLean is out of the game, with his only two big mistakes being a passed ball and the HR to Wilyer Abreau. Venezuela 2, USA 0 with two outs in the 5th. Brad Keller relieves McLean

@JeffPassan Yet we can’t hit a guy with a 5 ERA

Wilyer Abreu just took Nolan McLean out to dead center. A monster shot from one of the purest swings in baseball. Venezuela leads the U.S., 2-0, and Eduardo Rodriguez has carved through four innings, allowing only one hit.

@INTLBaseball24 Cannot hit line drives to save their lives

Regardless of what happens the rest of the way, this US lineup has really disappointed in the WBC. Take away the games against GB and Brazil and they have scored more than 5 runs just once. They’ve performed well below their talent level.

@LFGDevils @JMC9787 Crazy concept you can care about both

@JMC9787 We don’t really care. A World Series means more to us. The WBC means more to the Latin American countries.

@JeffPassan Great block Will

First blood goes to Venezuela. A looping single to right by Salvador Perez, a walk by Ronald Acuña Jr., a wild pitch by Nolan McLean to advance them and a one-out sacrifice fly by Maikel Garcia gives Venezuela a 1-0 lead over Team USA in the World Baseball Classic finals.

@James_Schiano Is it possible to see the full track of that pitch

Really sucks for a game to end on this

@MetsdUp Save that for the Mets Huascar

Huascar Brazoban with a 1-2-3 inning against team USA!

@GomesDaLegend These guys suck

Two in scoring position. Judge and Schwarber coming up Zero runs.
