OT: 2023 MLB Thread

[NickyFotiu]

Unpopular opinion; Volpe is closer to Rob Refsnyder than he is Derek Jeter.
Imo he’s a 2b not a SS.
I don’t see him ever hitting more than 11 HR.

Has he changed your mind about that never hitting more than 11 home runs?

 

[Bob Richards]

I think 98% of the Mets HR output was done in like two weeks by Alonso lmfao

 

[sbjnyc]

Kumar Rocker getting Tommy John surgery.

 

[Crease]

Not to worry, Carrasco is coming back soon to save the Mets season.

Great Yanks win, them continuing to go to bat for German is horrible, he got away with cheating a few weeks ago, and does it again tonight, enough with this clown.

Should have been gone as soon as what he did to his wife.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Got so fed up of this team I threw a $25 free bet on Tampa -3 last night. +350.

And we know how that worked out. A 9th inning back door cover loss.

[Bob Richards]

Had maybe 2 minutes of joy after the Vientos HR

Delete my account and then delete me from this earth

 

[Kane One]

Alvarez is gunna be a beast

 

[Bob Richards]

FINALLY SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT

 

[nyr2k2]

Well that was cool.

Awesome to see Vientos and Alvarez playing key roles. Between them and Pete the Mets have some serious light tower power. Mauricio can also really smoke them.

Win probability is the most pointless stat in every sport.

 

[Crease]

Also no Alvarez, who somehow got "dinged up" in the half inning between his game-tying home run and their walk off.

Win probability is the most pointless stat in every sport.

Within a game, it's not particularly useful to predict who will win because it's more or less just a reflection of the scoreboard.

What it's generally used for is identifying what would be considered a "clutch play" or a high-leverage situation.

I love Buck, but this pisses me off.

Eh day game after night game, in fine with alvarez sitting.

Vientos on the other hand is just straight under BS

Yeah I believe that Alvarez has a bit of a knock. Happens often with catchers even if it isn't apparent. And you're always more sore the next day.

Vientos was hitting righties and lefties in AAA, there is no reason to platoon him at this point. He should be given a shot pretty much every day. Certainly you put him back in there after he hits a big HR the night before.

Agree 100%

Good job yesterday! Now sit down before u embarrass the overpaid vets more and they get cranky.

 

[McRanger92]

My worlds are colliding with Buck Gallant refusing to play the kid's regularly

 

[Crease]

Huge series win for the Mets against a very good Rays team. Hopefully they carry this momentum forward.

 

[NYR94]

Nice to win some games again, finally hitting some home runs

 

[McRanger92]

Pete Alonso put the team on his back

 

[mrmovies779]

What a win by the Yanks and the kid with a huge HR late for an insurance run .
