Brandon Sproat listed as the starter in Syracuse tonight. Looks like another week without a top prospect coming up.
Been saying it on the show for a bit now that we will see Paul Blackburn start before one of the kids. I’m sure he’s going to factor in with Montas on Saturday.
Here’s Lindor openly saying JD martinez changed their offense last year on 5/30. This offense looks exactly like it did when last year when they were 11 under before JD showed up. Chavez and Barnes are the clear obvious problem and we’ve watched mediocre .500 baseball for 80 games instead of any change being made. Slap in the face to sellout crowds at citi and the fans watching at home. @StevenACohen2 please do something here #LGM
I can’t believe this is a serious comment below… that’s like saying “a coaching change has never worked in the history of sports” - sometimes you just fire the coaches and shake shit up, give the players a different perspective on things, of course fire Chavez and Barnes
Analytics Nerds will tell you batting average doesnt matter… the Mets suck because they are 23rd in batting average, they dont actually get hits, which is kind of the whole game
@_Jay__Tee_ It shows they have information overload… all of these analytics guys and coaches try to keep themselves relevant… so they overdo things and overthink things… if you are 1-0 in the count be ready to mash, 2-0, 3-1… just hit in hitters counts
@_Jay__Tee_ Yes the nerds really did kill baseball… the traditional slash line works perfectly:
Batting Average/HR/RBI
You gotta get hits and drive runs in to win, even Billy Beane said “my shit doesnt work in the playoffs” (too many walks, not enough actual hits)
This isn’t fun. Sports are meant to be fun
I don’t know what the answer is, but something needs to wake this team up
I got crazy for a second and thought getting no hit might be the punch in the face they needed
Just to my eye, it looks like they’re going through the motions
I once met former Assistant GM JP Ricciardi at a private Mets event… I asked them why they couldnt fix Ramon Ramirez who kept falling behind in counts… JP said, “Well we tell him… he just doesn’t do it.”
That’s the 2025 Mets
Carlos Mendoza says the Mets have struggled to make in-game adjustments offensively
A follow-up question on why that's the case: "Our coaches are working really hard, they continue to have those discussions with the players - but we've got to do it"
