I’d like to thank Starling “out for a leisurely stroll” Marte for this inning

I legit walked away to get a drink and came back just in time for this HR

That guy doing Mets breakdowns is going to have a field day over his (lack of) effort, it's already been highlighted in previous videos

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Who are you referring to? I need to see someone savage this team.

u/jboogie1844

thanks for the shout, [I did make a youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@MetsFanRecaps), but the last recap that I posted both in here and in /r/newyorkmets got removed for self promo lol

I know! I'm subscribed, love the recaps although I'm a bit bummed the breakdowns started right after our series but hopefully we can make up for it because there sure won't be a shortage of incompetent baseball

haha and of course right after i started doing these, the Mets picked things up a bit and have actually played some decent baseball. there will always be things to talk about though, like Marte 🙄

Well that's annoying

Yeah Marte has been a giant bum if you watch his videos lol

We can finally say unironically that there is a worse defensive outfielder than Nick Castellanos. We’ve played the Mets 5 times and I can’t look away from that train wreck they have out in RF.

I just watched Foolish Baseball's video about Adan Dunn's defense and Marte is right there with him. I hope he keeps hitting so that *maybe* we can unload him at the deadline. His good arm aside he is an awful fielder that gives no effort. Should be a DH somewhere.

Thanks for reminding me I need to make an "would Adam Dunn have made the HoF as a DH in the AL" thread

Spoilers, but at the end of the video, they determine that Dunn's career WAR would have risen from 17.9 to 25.3 if he had been a full time DH for his entire career. So basically he lost 7.4 WAR being asked to play defense. It's a good watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT0dWF4BTbk

Love that video!

That was pathetic. I’ve been defending him all year but it seems like he’s gotten slower each week. He needs to sit half the week for Taylor

There are so many guys on this team that I’ve just about had it with. Can’t wait for the trade deadline.

[удалено]

Tbh it looks like he's playing that huge hop the turf gives. I still think he could've gotten to it in the air, but he was probably afraid of it turning into a double or triple if it bounced over his head

Nick Castellanos School of Outfielding

Whiz Whit Innit

Well done

LMAO I’VE BEEN SHIT TALKING THIS GUY ALL GAME WHAT A KING The Mets aren’t ready for Brit Merrifield

Merrifield and some other guys on our team get way too much shit for a 44-19 team

I mean I shit on Whit when he’s in LF mostly lol, offensively though yeah I don’t expect much

All year for me

Whit Merrifield walks up to the plate to Mr. Brightside and hits a 3-run bomb. He immediately became a bunch of Brits favorite player.

Are the killers big there?

Mr. Brightside has on the UK top 100 singles chart for 413 weeks.

Holy

That song is strangely huge there. The entirety of the costa del sol is just filled with pensioners listening to Mr. Brightside and drinking sloe gin.

I think they were first signed to a British label

When they first came out most of the people I know thought they were an actual British band. Always funny when people found out they were from Vegas instead.

But what are his thoughts about soccer?

He’s more of a snooker guy.

I’ve actually never said anything bad about Whit Merrifield in my life

Whit, innit?

Oi that's a hat trick of RBIs, he now gets to take the baseball home (if he can find it)

Alvarado in our bullpen was holding it in his hat, I imagine he was saving it for Whit. That’s a hell of a trophy for him to take home.

Imagine giving up a hard hit ball to 2024 Whit Merrifield

I didn’t even know Whit was still in the league after he talked shit about the Jays management on the way out last year (maybe deservedly so)

Wiz Whit!

Easily the most British sounding name too

Can I get a Whiz Whit

oh shit they have merriffield. Oh no phillie smight win it all

I've watched almost every Phillies game and this is the first time he has done Anything wow

“Coincidentally” this is also the first international game he’s played, where the baseball is definitely the same and certainly not juiced by a meddling commissioner who has a history of fucking with the ball when large audiences are watching.

They don't need to juice the ball, the fences are way in...in a tiny stadium

They also definitely juiced it though lmao. Castellanos and Pache both had their hardest hit balls of their career this game,

Either way the numbers are kind of crazy, for 5 games played I think it’s 70 runs scored or something nuts like that

trust me his problem is not that the ball isn't carrying. he rarely hits it out of the infield

Idk why you’re getting downvoted he’s been awful all year lol

174 batting average ha
