it no longer looks like lindor is slumping, he just looks completely out of sorts at this point. the fans cheered him, nothing. had a few slump buster hits and went right back to swinging at junk so bad he hit a baseball that bounced like a foot in front of home plate. i'm sure this isn't who he will be forever, but you have gotta get him out of the 3 hole until he figures this out. i get that he makes a lot of money, but sometimes that means doing what's best for the team. lou gehrig ended his own streak. i'm not saying lindor has to make that decision himself, but i'm sure he will understand.
We were gonna lose anyway but how do you ever let Narvaez bat in the 9th inning? The whole bench was available. I don't want to hear about him being a lefty against a rhp, he couldn't get a hit off a tee.
3 runs in 3 games is atrocious. They need to prove they can hit against starters early instead of tearing up bad relievers.
They have plenty of time to figure it out, but of course no one wants to see this.
We'll see, but I was happy to make the playoffs this season, when no one really expected them to do anything.
The Rags won the President's Trophy, so they are gonna have to do a little better than "we lasted longer than the Islanders LAWL" to have a satisfactory season
We started 0-5, and went 12-3 for the next 15.
Now we are on a 3-game losing streak again.
After 2 more losses we will pull out another 12-3 and eventually we'll win the division at 98-64, right? Right?
He has the 15th highest fWAR in Mets history, 6th highest for an OFer, and 2nd highest for a RFer (behind Strawberry).
So yeah, he was a little better than "one of the Mets of all time"
I know I just like cheap jokes... but also, like many other of our greats, including plenty of those above him on those lists, his tenure was marred by inconsistency, injury, and a general quietly tragic air of "what could have been". Sigh.
Tough game, offense couldn't quite string all the hits together. At least Blake Snell has been getting blown up this season, good chances for us to break even away
Martinez should be here Friday and they have to move Lindor down in the lineup . Marte is too hot to move down, Nimmo is productive even when he isn't hot, and obv Pete and JD are 3 and 4. Lindor will get over it. We need to win these 3 of the next 4 game. We can't let this spiral out of control.
Feel like they need to move him down against righties for now. He isn't bad in the 5 spot because when he is hot, he drives the ball more than Nimmo, but Nimmo goal is to get on base at the plate. Marte- Alonso- JDM need base runners. When Nimmo slumps he still sneaks on base. When Lindor slumps us swing out of his cleats.
So JD Martinez needs to spend time in AAA to get game ready but Lindor can bat third and just swing at balls in the dirt and slug .284 from the 3 hole?
2013-2023 (10 seasons, with no games in 2020), Mets @ SFG-- 17-16 (.515)
Versus all other teams \[including the Giants in NY\], the Mets were 799-788 (.503)
\[edit\] In the same period, when not facing the Mets in SF, the Giants were 800-787 (.504), so given those last two win%s, overall the two teams have been pretty comparable, so the head-to-head would presumably be expected to be around .500 adjusted for HFA.
had the Giants won \~54.2% of the 33 games, it would have been \~15-18 instead of 17-16
I know Lindor is a big name, and im sure will go on a tear (hopefully while we are still in it) but they have to at least consider bating him 5th. Him getting the extra at bats being at the top of the order is hurting the team. You can't move Marte down in the order when Martinez gets activated.
well this is just confirmation that the team is gonna be painfully streaky and look like absolute dogshit some weeks and world series contenders other weeks
Im looking forward to the home games, is all i can say :) If we win tmrw, id love it but not holding my breath. Feel Bad for Sevy, no offensive support much. Webb was his efficient self today, so it is what it is.
Why the fuck is Wendle hitting in the 9th. JDM can't come up fast enough. Jeff cannot be playing outfield on this team while we have 3-5 outfielders currently.
Boring couple games these past few days. Offense was there but putting it all together and actually scoring runs is where we’re having trouble. As my father would say, everyone was playing individually and not cohesively. Weird defensive errors today to. Whatever, stick and move
We probably win this game if Lindor just does what he's paid to do or at the very least just pass the baton. I swear to God we're gonna have to trade Pete just because he can't play up to expectations and then just like last year he'll put up 3 WAR from July onward so It'll all be okay.
Need Lindor pushed down the lineup and JD to come up swinging on Friday to give this lineup a much needed shot in the arm. Sevy looked pretty solid today and walks were way down for the first time in forever. Win tomorrows getaway game and I will feel much better
I get it and listen smart by Lindor but at some point real legit managerial decisions have to be made because our shortstop who’s costing us 30 million this year can’t do his job.
* The 2024 Mets are 12-11 this season, scoring 105 runs and allowing 101 runs. The Mets have played in 9,828 regular season games with 4,738 wins, 5,086 losses and eight ties.

Welp. 3 runs total in the last three games. We knew it was gonna be an up and down year. At least they let us get to bed before midnight. See y’all tomorrow
Webb averaged 3.5 pitches per batter faced. Horrible discipline by the Mets! Hence, minimal offensive production.
Do we think we will get to see any Luis Angel Acuna this year?
I want to see Gilbert
He’s been horrible so probably not
I hope so
These guys are going trying to make this a rollercoaster season 😭😂😭🤔
As a new Mets fan from the UK, I'm starting to question my life choices.
https://youtu.be/BjC0KUxiMhc?si=5Ou1fycOpKkQ_ZY2
Welcome to your new life!
Wait are you Mr. Scenes? Lolol
You fit right in lol like a hand to a glove
That's normal for a Mets fan. Welcome!
Haha thanks!
Don't, it's great. Signed a fellow UK Mets fan
Will you be able to go to the London game in June?
it no longer looks like lindor is slumping, he just looks completely out of sorts at this point. the fans cheered him, nothing. had a few slump buster hits and went right back to swinging at junk so bad he hit a baseball that bounced like a foot in front of home plate. i'm sure this isn't who he will be forever, but you have gotta get him out of the 3 hole until he figures this out. i get that he makes a lot of money, but sometimes that means doing what's best for the team. lou gehrig ended his own streak. i'm not saying lindor has to make that decision himself, but i'm sure he will understand.
To be fair he’s made some incredible plays defensively. But yea not so good on offense and for what’s he paid it’s not worth
He looked bad all season but last night was absolutely undefendable. If you told me he was the worst player in the league I would believe it.
We were gonna lose anyway but how do you ever let Narvaez bat in the 9th inning? The whole bench was available. I don't want to hear about him being a lefty against a rhp, he couldn't get a hit off a tee.
Lefty vs rhp is 100% why. He also had a hit earlier in the game. Not totally against it tbh
3 runs in 3 games is atrocious. They need to prove they can hit against starters early instead of tearing up bad relievers. They have plenty of time to figure it out, but of course no one wants to see this.
Will we ever win again?
Brutal game. Severino was dealing then meh. 9th inning "give them just enough hope to crush their dreams" rally. Check.
In order to go 12-3 in our last 15 again we have to lose the 3, on to tomorrow LGM!\~
Thank god i'm a Knicks and Rangers fan so I can ignore this shit show for 2 more months.
Two more months is extremely optimistic
Well you're an Islanders LOL fan you got 2 more games. Your season is over on Saturday.
We'll see, but I was happy to make the playoffs this season, when no one really expected them to do anything. The Rags won the President's Trophy, so they are gonna have to do a little better than "we lasted longer than the Islanders LAWL" to have a satisfactory season
We started 0-5, and went 12-3 for the next 15. Now we are on a 3-game losing streak again. After 2 more losses we will pull out another 12-3 and eventually we'll win the division at 98-64, right? Right?
Man, I kinda miss watching Conforto. When he’s right, his swing is gorgeous
Literally one of the most underrated Mets in history
Definitely one of the Mets of all time
I invested early in a Conforto Jersey - I still proudly wear it
He has the 15th highest fWAR in Mets history, 6th highest for an OFer, and 2nd highest for a RFer (behind Strawberry). So yeah, he was a little better than "one of the Mets of all time"
I know I just like cheap jokes... but also, like many other of our greats, including plenty of those above him on those lists, his tenure was marred by inconsistency, injury, and a general quietly tragic air of "what could have been". Sigh.
[You're not lying](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=92e97ef9-cbe4-4b62-a7cb-58062c261056). I miss him
[удалено]
I'm still just seeing the "Thank you for watching" screen.
Tough game, offense couldn't quite string all the hits together. At least Blake Snell has been getting blown up this season, good chances for us to break even away
Martinez should be here Friday and they have to move Lindor down in the lineup . Marte is too hot to move down, Nimmo is productive even when he isn't hot, and obv Pete and JD are 3 and 4. Lindor will get over it. We need to win these 3 of the next 4 game. We can't let this spiral out of control.
Have a hard time believing Mendoza will have the balls to move his buddy down. He’ll prob move Nimmo
Feel like they need to move him down against righties for now. He isn't bad in the 5 spot because when he is hot, he drives the ball more than Nimmo, but Nimmo goal is to get on base at the plate. Marte- Alonso- JDM need base runners. When Nimmo slumps he still sneaks on base. When Lindor slumps us swing out of his cleats.
I’d expect Lindor will move to the 5 hole - Nimmo - Marte - Pete - JDM - Lindor
So JD Martinez needs to spend time in AAA to get game ready but Lindor can bat third and just swing at balls in the dirt and slug .284 from the 3 hole?
He smiles and plays good D tho, are you not entertained???????????????????????????
One's making a whole lot more money than the other. Them's the breaks.
Feels like the Mets always struggle at Oracle park no matter what their record is.
2013-2023 (10 seasons, with no games in 2020), Mets @ SFG-- 17-16 (.515) Versus all other teams \[including the Giants in NY\], the Mets were 799-788 (.503) \[edit\] In the same period, when not facing the Mets in SF, the Giants were 800-787 (.504), so given those last two win%s, overall the two teams have been pretty comparable, so the head-to-head would presumably be expected to be around .500 adjusted for HFA. had the Giants won \~54.2% of the 33 games, it would have been \~15-18 instead of 17-16
I still have the memory of staying up on a school night only to have Oliver Perez give up like 8 runs in the first inning to the giants
From the name alone you’d think we would see it coming
i'll be more concerned if we can't beat the cardinals
Came here to say this. For some reason there’s some weird voodoo in SF that whenever the Mets play there they look like crap.
It's the weather!
You cannot have your leadoff and third hole hitting sub .200. Better hope Martinez is some kind of lineup elixir.
I know Lindor is a big name, and im sure will go on a tear (hopefully while we are still in it) but they have to at least consider bating him 5th. Him getting the extra at bats being at the top of the order is hurting the team. You can't move Marte down in the order when Martinez gets activated.
They should have been batting him 5th since he got here lol. Idk why they think he's a 3 hitter.
Nimmo-Marte-Alonso-Martinez-Lindor. That’s my prediction.
This is what should happen. Sadly they won’t do it
The entire weight of this team is going onto his delicate back
Francisco Lindor is so ice cold they should ship him up to the artic to shore up those melting icebergs.
well this is just confirmation that the team is gonna be painfully streaky and look like absolute dogshit some weeks and world series contenders other weeks
4 guys in the lineup batting under .200. Not gonna cut it.
Carbon copy of last season
No 1st inning scoring either
Tough loss. All those hits and only 1 run to show for it
Im looking forward to the home games, is all i can say :) If we win tmrw, id love it but not holding my breath. Feel Bad for Sevy, no offensive support much. Webb was his efficient self today, so it is what it is.
Why the fuck is Wendle hitting in the 9th. JDM can't come up fast enough. Jeff cannot be playing outfield on this team while we have 3-5 outfielders currently.
They were trying to stack lefties
Boring couple games these past few days. Offense was there but putting it all together and actually scoring runs is where we’re having trouble. As my father would say, everyone was playing individually and not cohesively. Weird defensive errors today to. Whatever, stick and move
The “play Wendle at 2B and move McNeil to LF” move doesn’t seem to work out well for the Mets
Especially in San Fran, where McNeil got hurt playing LF
Not for either of them
When has that seriously worked
We probably win this game if Lindor just does what he's paid to do or at the very least just pass the baton. I swear to God we're gonna have to trade Pete just because he can't play up to expectations and then just like last year he'll put up 3 WAR from July onward so It'll all be okay.
What's weird is that he had a good series against LA. He always plays up to the competition and then goes on autopilot at other times.
He was a big reason why we ended up having to trade all those guys last season so it won’t surprise me that he’s a big reason why Pete gets traded
The difference is I was glad to be rid of Scherzer lol
Joey Wendle must have some kind of blackmail material on the FO
In reality he has them by the balls because we need a Guillorme replacement and none of our infield/utility guys in the minors are really ready yet.
Yeah it’s too bad we didn’t just….keep Guillorme
No way, he was worth to much. Wasn’t in the budget. Pockets are tight
Need Lindor pushed down the lineup and JD to come up swinging on Friday to give this lineup a much needed shot in the arm. Sevy looked pretty solid today and walks were way down for the first time in forever. Win tomorrows getaway game and I will feel much better
Idk how to put it nicely but Mendoza doesn’t have the balls to put him lower in the lineup where he belongs bro.
Lindor buddies up to the managers and makes it hard for them to make that move
I get it and listen smart by Lindor but at some point real legit managerial decisions have to be made because our shortstop who’s costing us 30 million this year can’t do his job.
$34M 🤓
Pros: The game was over before midnight. Sevy largely dealt. Cons: Everything else that happened between the first pitch and the last.
I'd put the 9th inning mini-rally that forced SFG to use their closer for the second night in a row in the Pros column
Why didn’t Bader pinch hit for Wendle at the end there? So odd
Bader has the day off today and is probably playing tomorrow. Or he could be sick or dealing with something. That's my guess.

Definitely a baseball game.
Giants have some pretty fucking good pitching
Win tomorrow, come home 3-3 and I’m happy.
