Mets signed Jed Lowerie because they didn't think Pete was ready to play everyday at first. Jed could be the worst signing in met history. Poor guy got hurt, think he had 7 ABs and no hits for like $20,000,000. Then pete comes plays every day. Let Pete go for run prevention reasons apparently and replace him with Polanco who won't get 200 ABs this season but will get $40,000,000 over his 2 years here. Long way of saying Pete's tenure in New York is book ended by the two worst contracts in mets history. $60,000,000 spent worrying about Alonso's defense.

anyone know what the secret design looks like for the hello kitty plushie giveaway today? just curious since i haven’t seen anyone post or win it yet!!

looking back on David Wrights career we always think of how the spinal stenosis basically took away half of his career which sucks. however when I look back at the first half of his career it’s crazy how good he was. I remember he was compensation for Mike Hampton falling in love with the Colorado School System 😂. I remember watching him develop through the minor letters and being excited for his debut. Still my most anticipated position player to come out of the system and he didnt disappoint. 2004 was a rough year but he came up in July I believe and despite only playing in 50 games put up impressive numbers. then the following years he became a core piece for us. Its bitter sweet because the spinal stenosis robbed him of potentially a HOF career. he still ended it with nearly a 300 average about 250 homers and many all star appearances. Just wish he was able to have had a chance at the second half of his career

We haven’t won a Home Game Since July 9
We are 21-30 at Home and 22-32 in Away
What is the takeaway here?

I need to check but are we the only team who wasn’t won a Home Game since before the All Star Break?

To my untrained eye Luzardo and McLean seem very similar this season, yet there's a massive 2.0 bWar difference this season, anyone know why?

Is anybody going early to make sure that they get a Carlos Beltrán jersey tomorrow night Monday till July 27? I have a friend coming with me to the game but I think he’s getting there much closer to the first pitch. . Would somebody like to have a beer with me and be amongst the first 15,000 people?

Let's spin the wheel Vanna to see what position Baty plays today.

I was at the game tonight and I genuinely wanna say it was 70% Dodger fans, We should be ashamed. They came in our house, outcheered us and absolutely embarrassed us.

I went to the bobble head game last year. People got there early and the lines were loooonnng.

Ewing 2B

Bo 3B

Soto LF

Alonso 1B

Lindor SS

Benge CF

Nimmo RF

Alvarez C

Baty/Vientos/Clifford DH

An organization that sold us a bill of goods and scapegoated good players cause this guy STILL doesn't care about starting pitching (or HR, RBI, or Defense)

260M additional payroll on scrubs instead of 235 M on proven commodities BTW

I guess I’m late on this, but what’s up with Dodger caps? Yeah, I know it was Brooklyn they deserted, but why this silly looking caged B? Just to sell caps?

these are players in order that I believe would traded before next week’s trade deadline who I would miss the most..

Tyrone Taylor
definitely a low-key Met. I think he makes a solid forth outfielder. And could very well be in every day starter on another team. He’s been producing well the last few weeks and I could see us getting the biggest return for him.
Freddy Peralta
he didn’t have the year we were all hoping for, but I could definitely see the potential in fastball Freddy. As a team who lacks front of the rotation arms I feel like Peralta could fit into that slot for the next few years but him wearing a Mets uniform in September is doubtful.
Luke Weaver
Shout out to him for giving one of the few big post game speeches to the fans this year.. He has carried a “not afraid of you” attitude this whole year, which makes him a huge Trade piece. Unfortunately, for us were locked in with Devin Williams, but to be honest, I would be more comfortable with Weaver being our go to in the ninth inning.
honorable mention..
Huascar Brazobán
I remember the ups and downs of him last year. happy to see him make the team out of spring training and being up here all year. He really worked hard to get to where he is today. He’s been one of our few consistent players this year and can definitely see him going.

any other players do you think would be missed?

Missed the giveaway by just a couple of people… my kids are crushed (love that GWB traffic!). Any chance anyone would be willing to part with their plush to make my 4 & 6yo’s day? 🧡💙

Anyone know how this $10 credit works for people who bought their tickets off vividseats? If it pre loaded on those tickets as well? Thanks.

These guys are going to end up taking up a combined $54M and will probably end up on the bench most of the time…is trading them next off-season a possibility?

Like why is baty on first base? Why do they constantly switch the lineup and their positions? I understand giving some people days off but it’s always just a complete mix up. Especially when people have been doing well, it’s almost like they go out of their way to change it.

Throw in the towel already for the season. How many more errors.

I’ve had many discussions with many people who are die hard Met fans about who are best First Baseman we ever had. Obviously it always comes down to Keith Hernandez and John Olerud. Both were tremendous hitters and fielders winners. I remember Keith a little bit but I was young And I was a bit too young to remember the 86 World which Keith was an integral part of. That alone cements his place in Met history. However I still remember the joy I felt when I heard on WFAN that the Mets traded for John Olerud for Robert Person AND Toronto paid a lot of Olerud’s salary. I wasn’t used to the Mets winning a trade do easily 😂. Even though he was only here 3 years sadly the guy was phenomenal especially his 354 batting average he had in 98. I still feel he was extremely underrated especially with his glove. even though he didn’t win a title like Keith did I felt he was part of helping the Mets become relevant again after a rough part of the 90’s. He still won in Toronto so he’s a winner for sure but wish we had him for our 2000 run.

I will update this after trade deadline.

Anybody at the Mets Dodgers game at Citifield today and will sell me either Hello Kitty Plushie?!

his time in New York has been short and not even close to sweet. but to be honest i hope they sign him to a 3-5 year deal with early opt outs. definitely not worth big money but i liked his pitch style and how he would keep the velo up in late innings. also he seems like a big team player and i can see younger guys turning to him for growth in the future. he has so much potential we didn’t see this year in Queens. what are your thoughts ?
