OT: MLB Thread 2024

[majordomo]

Lmao alonso getting a freebie

Getting?

 

[will1066]

Getting?

??

This problem of Lindor's due to not sliding on a double. It's so Mets.

 

[will1066]

Tyrone!

 

[will1066]

Fuuuuuu*****

 

[majordomo]

Quel surprise!

What is Keith doing in the booth? I recall in the recent past he made comments about hating Philly. Didn't he also say it was in his contract that he didn't have to broadcast Philly games (of course, I could be wrong).

 

[noncents]

just crushing

 

[RangerBlues]

Alex Cora is pathetic

 

[Crease]

Mets caught the injury bug at the worst time.

 

[majordomo]

Interesting lineup for Mets tonight.

 

[nyr2k2]

Knowing the Mets they will get swept by the Nationals, leading everyone to think they're dead, and then they'll go on a tear and sneak into the #3 WC only to score one total run in a quick two-game WC exit.

That will get us a nice banner so the Wilpons would’ve been cool with that.

What a joke of a banner:

I actually like alonso's at-bats the last week or so. He's going with the pitch to the opposite field and producing more ground balls, just snakebit. Hit some warning track shots to right center.

 

[nyr2k2]

Well, you always take a W, but that was hardly convincing. Really gotta get those bats going. At least LA is helping tonight.

Huge win. Come from behind, avoids 3 game losing srteak

Huge win for sure. I'm just concerned that we're clearly still in one of those team-wide slumps. We may scrape by against Washington but we'll be in trouble against Atlanta, Philly, etc.

I've never seen a team that runs so hot and then so cold. When they're on they literally have 12 guys who will put together good, productive ABs. And they'll string together 10+ games of that, and then suddenly, everyone is absolutely terrible. It's really amazing.

Agreed. It's a jekyll and Hyde offense. They put up 11 in the first game in Philly and then go 19 innings scoreless. I thought that they finally put together a consistently dangerous lineup 1 through 9 when they went on that heater in June. It's been inconsistent.

San Diego and Arizona play each other the last 3 games of the season - one of them will lose at least 2 games. Padres also play the dodgers and dbacks also play the brewers so I don't think the schedule is the issue for the mets.

Have to hope there are no three point games though.

 

[JimmyG89]

Both San Diego and Arizona have tough schedules. The Padres is 25th in SOS, but that is because they have 3 against the White Sox. The others are 3 vs LAD, 3 vs Arizona, and 2 against Houston.

Atlanta has the easier schedule with Miami and Cincy on their schedule. Fortunately the Reds are actually halfway decent unlike Miami and I can see them winning a game.

I know the schedule isn't an issue relative to what other teams have in front of them, but it's an issue for us if we're going to continue to be ice cold. If we're going to be doing this 2 runs on 5 hits bullshit every night we're going to be in trouble against Philly and Milwaukee, and while Atlanta doesn't score a lot of runs you're looking at a toss-up.

We need at least 2-3 guys to start hitting. And I don't mean Tyrone Taylor and Jose Iglesias.

Nimmo and Alonso need to get going. These are the two veterans of the team and should be the ones to step up their game. Would like to see Winker get hot too. JD might be a lost cause at this point, he's struggled for over a month now.

They're both just a tad off. Nimmo has smoked some upper deck foul balls and Alonso I think is slowly getting back to form. He'll still strike out but he's hit more liners and ground balls as opposed to pop ups and fly balls all the time. He's had warning track shots to right and right center. But Mendoza can't seem to find that effective 3-4-5 and someone who can protect Alonso a little.

Yeah I was referring to the relative difficulty. It'll be hard for every team to go 500 down the stretch. It'd be funny if the Mets swept the Phillies out of the top 2 spots and had to play them in the wild card round.

Both San Diego and Arizona have tough schedules. The Padres is 25th in SOS, but that is because they have 3 against the White Sox. The others are 3 vs LAD, 3 vs Arizona, and 2 against Houston.

Atlanta already had their 3 vs the dodgers.

 

[nyr2k2]

Mets move 2 up on Atlanta and the Snakes are losing at the moment. If that holds we'd be tied with them, and I think we hold the tiebreaker.
