Terrible by the Mets tn. No way around.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Jared Young has been a terrific player for the Mets, with a glaring hole at 1st with Vientos in the dumps and Polanco on the shelf for the foreseeable future, Young has stepped up big.

52.5% HardHit | .398 xwOBA | 150 wRC+

Young needs to play everyday.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Austin Warren with his first hiccup. It’s gonna happen tough loss. Have to find a way to win the series tmr.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Christian Scott in his last 3 starts:

🔶 16.2 IP (19.2 over his first 5)
🔷 24.2 K%
🔶 2.44 FIP
🔷 111 Stuff+

Scott has been dominating as of late, control has been much better while also going deeper in game. Stuff is still so good.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

I think it would be malpractice if Vientos is still on this team past the deadline. He had a great run in 2024 but since then he has had a massive fall off, is a negative net player and is not helping the team in anywhere. Move him, see if u can get an upside reliever.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

I don’t think Mendoza is the manager on Friday. Just simply cannot be the manager even if it’s not on him.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Honestly the Mets season probably lies in the hands of what happens the rest of this week. 10 games under with 5 games left this week if they can grab 4 and get good momentum into the west coast trip next week it could turn some things.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Nolan McLean last 2 starts:

14.0 K-BB% | .310 BAA | 9.07 FIP

McLean had a terrific start to the year but his last 2 starts have been disaster. McLean has great stuff and I’m not too worried about him he will figure it out.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

The Mets have holes, and injuries have made the holes show much more. 1st base with Polanco was always a ? and it busted. Bichette I think will turn it around but he’s been very underwhelming. This season is likely one that is done, but this team isn’t far from contending.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

That’s a really tough series. Mets had an awful series, no way around it. Have to make up for it this week or it’s looking very bleak.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Tough start in Miami. Place has been a house of horrors for the Mets and it really can’t be that way this weekend. Hopefully they find a way to snag both or atleast 1 game and get back home and keep rolling.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Wouldn’t say today is a must win, but it feels like one the Mets really need to continue their momentum. LGM.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Tough go for the Mets tonight.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Zach Thornton will make his MLB Debut tonight for the Mets after a terrific start in Syracuse. His numbers are really solid.

28.3 K% | 50.0% GB | 3.19 FIP

One of the better Mets pitching prospects gets an opportunity to prove himself tonight.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

The Mets bullpen gets overly criticized which is just down right wrong as it’s been one of the better ‘pens in baseball.

(MLB ranks in parentheses)

3.47 FIP (7th) | 25.1 K% (7th) | 3.34 SIERA (5th)

The notion that this bullpen is “bad” is just wrong.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Austin Warren has seemingly come out of nowhere for this Mets bullpen and has been one of their better arms. He’s been mainly used in low-lev situations but I wouldn’t be shocked if we see his role increase.

29.5 K% | 28.4 Whiff% | 1 PRV | 0.84 ERA

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Mark Vientos for about a month now has caught a solid stride offensively and has been pretty decent at 1st base. This was needed for the Mets with Polanco on the shelf.

.422 xwOBA | 16.1 Barrel% | 119 wRC+

Swaggy V is slowly coming back.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

MJ Melendez has been a sneaky solid add for the Mets, playing both corners of the OF well and his bat has been red hot.

60.0 HardHit% | .443 wOBA | 187 wRC+

Obviously it would be near impossible for him to keep this up but hopefully he can continue.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Christian Scott will toe the rubber for the Mets today. His stuff has been extremely solid but locating it has been a problem. Hopefully he can find some control and dominate today:

31.0 K% | .136 BAA | 113 Stuff+

Locating today is priority #1.

[Dom B @DomB92_]

Carson Benge after a rough start to the season, has been really solid, and is beginning to show why he was the #1 prospect in the Mets system.

Since April 20th:

52.9% HardHit% | .375 xwOBA | 140 wRC+

Pair that with his defense (3 OAA). Solid.
