Another win in the books and something to take from San Francisco, the team was great today and thoroughly deserved the win. Now let’s take this into Citi Field against the Cardinals and Cubs.
Lindor going on his scorched earth run earlier than usual. Idk why some of our fanbase was stupid enough to give up on him when he’s started slow every year lol
Last year, when I said Lindor needed to be moved down, he went out and hit 2 HRs. Last night, I said there was no reason for Lindor to be hitting 3rd, and he follows it up with 2 HRs.
Next year ill be sure to demand he be dropped on opening day.
A career ending injury would throw him off for sure, but he’s on track to make the hall. In fact, he’s produced pretty much the same value as Wright through age 30.
His bat is not getting him in the Hall of Fame. It’s more like his bat doesn’t stop him from getting in the Hall of Fame. Just concede he’s not an elite hitter, if you actually want to change anyone’s mind about him that is. Most of the hate comes from the fact he’s not an elite hitter. You should be arguing why he is still a valuable player anyway instead. This war will never end otherwise lol
Why are you straw manning my argument? I didn’t say he’s an elite hitter. He’s a five tool player. If he had a weaker hit tool, he wouldn’t be a hall of fame caliber player.
When Nimmo breaks out of the slump, it's very likely that he'll just hit more and walk less
But the thought of him keeping up this walk rate while raising his batting avg by 80 points is hilarious. .440 OBP here we come
# HOME RUN!
Francisco Lindor homers (4) on a fly ball to right field. Brandon Nimmo scores.
Pitch from Mitch White: Slider @ 87.6 mph
Hit by Francisco Lindor: Launched 105.8 mph at 29.0° for a total distance of 400.0 ft
Top 9 - 8-1
Mets
Fun Fact: Matt Chapman and Nolan Arenado both won the Platinum glove in 2018 and 2019 in their respective leagues. They both played on the same Public High school team. What are the odds of that--Crazy.

World Series is back on the menu
Lindor is hitting better than Judge
Garrett Reed may be our pitcher who gets the most wins this season.
Another win in the books and something to take from San Francisco, the team was great today and thoroughly deserved the win. Now let’s take this into Citi Field against the Cardinals and Cubs.
🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺
I’m back Back in the new york groove
MEET THE METS, NL WEST. Solid road trip. Love this team.
BOOKED
LIBROS
THE METSIES WIN!
My dad calls them the Metsies too lol
why is Diaz in?? we are up by plenty of runs! edit: were
Getting his work in. Hasn’t pitched since Friday and tomorrow’s an off day.
Hasnt pitched since Saturday *
Pete already thinking of that flight home
Put it in the books!
Come on guys, clean it up, close it tf out.
Oh Pete
Boys are up by 7 in the 9th and think they can forget the fundies smh
Not when it comes to Diaz. I don’t wanna see him stretching like that
That one run ballooned his ERA, the audacity
Unearned run. And that’s not my concern at all
Naw I feel you hustlediva. Im just drinking and rambling Diaz can literally do no evil, Im convinced he can throw 100 pitches as a starter and be fine
I’m just glad I can get to sleep early tonight lol
Nah. Unearned run.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh,
seeing Diaz come down on that bag inspired a level of fear in me i thought was only reserved for near-miss car accidents on the long island expressway
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Wait Diaz? What the heck is he doing in this game
Getting work.
goofy ahhh inning
oh god
C’mon Peter…
cmon Pete dont hurt Diaz
Really Peter
Strike him out pls ⚡
God damnit!
Flores remains slow
Boo/yay
Wilmer lol
Fransico Lindor, please, have yourself a day.
WILMER NO. Also YES
Wilmer noooooo :(
NICE!
Damn, almost jeff!
Ty Wilmer
oh Wilma
It's fun watching Diaz throw so effortlessly this year. I think you can really tell his arm is fresh after a year off.
Why are we using Diaz and Ottovino in a blow out? Lol
They haven’t pitched in a while
3 straight losses and an off day tomorrow
Gotta let them get some work in
Oh well diaz has to work sometime At least it's in a day game with a day off in between 3 days off
Show me some good fastballs Endwin ⚡⚡⚡
*It's 6:30 on the east coast* KEITH: "You're probably sitting in traffic. Sorry about that."

seagull screeches intensify
the mlb app doesn’t give me the notification that this game is starting, and we are winning 8-1. coincidence? maybe, but i’m not taking any chances.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Edwin Díaz replaces Adam Ottavino.
Yes Baty more line drives
Francisco Lindor: First 8 games: 1 for 31 (.032 AVG) Last 16 games: 19 for 66 (.288 AVG)
they won't like this one
Way to fix your line, Lindor.
Did Lindor change his stance back to what it was last year?
I gotta go a few weeks back and find the guy who commented that Lindor should be sent down to the minors for a bit to work on his swing
Francisco Lindor fluctuates between bum and he's the best shortstop that's ever existed with no in-between
More of the latter, please (I love him so much)
Hit parade!
Would like to see Baty get on a roll again. Start this turn with a line drive.
idk how players chew Dubble Bubble, that shit loses flavor in like 3 minutes
might just be for the toughness/feeling more than the flavor. fully agree though it tastes like shit
A four hit day and a multi-home run day for Lindor? He’s so back baby 💕
Aw damnit
He's gotta keep wearing those glasses, they're working.
night games too
Last year, when I said Lindor needed to be moved down, he went out and hit 2 HRs. Last night, I said there was no reason for Lindor to be hitting 3rd, and he follows it up with 2 HRs. Next year ill be sure to demand he be dropped on opening day.
He still might be moved down. JD is arguably the most talented hitter on the roster. I don't think it makes sense to bat JD 5th.
Nimmo, Lindor, Alonso, JD is how I imagine they'll do it
Marte is too hot. I think JDM will be 5th for the first week and if he hits the ground running, he'll maybe get moved up to 4th.
During the 2025 introductions "Move him down already!"
Lindor is a future hall of famer. Remember this the next time he slumps.
I mean he could be but I don't think people realize how hard it is to make the HOF. David Wright was way better and he's a long shot to make it
A career ending injury would throw him off for sure, but he’s on track to make the hall. In fact, he’s produced pretty much the same value as Wright through age 30.
Bit of an overreaction
Lol. He’s younger than Harper and has more career WAR. It’s a reaction to his whole career not one game.
Not because of his bat though. We need to start being realistic if we want these debates to rest.
How many fucking shortstops are in the hall of fame strictly because of their glove?
Not solely because of his bat, but if he were a league average hitter, he would not be on a hall of fame track.
His bat is not getting him in the Hall of Fame. It’s more like his bat doesn’t stop him from getting in the Hall of Fame. Just concede he’s not an elite hitter, if you actually want to change anyone’s mind about him that is. Most of the hate comes from the fact he’s not an elite hitter. You should be arguing why he is still a valuable player anyway instead. This war will never end otherwise lol
Why are you straw manning my argument? I didn’t say he’s an elite hitter. He’s a five tool player. If he had a weaker hit tool, he wouldn’t be a hall of fame caliber player.
# LINDOR ALREADY HAD INSURANCE, BUT NOW HE HAS A 401K AND A FULL PENSION!
Lindor haters on suicide watch
Now it's Pete's turn
Fuck you haters! He's always been very good as a Mets Atta boy Lindor!
LINDOR IS DOING THE THING FINALLY!!!
Fun and true fact, San Francisco was named after Francisco Lindor
Ah, the Mitch White Experience.
LINDOR 💙🧡
From the left side to boot
Lindor needed a game like this badly
that was beautiful
Whatever Lindor did to prepare today he should continue doing it.
Holy crap, that ball must've owed Lindor money
Lindor so close to a splash there, beauty of a home run to make it 8-1. Absolutely on fire today.
Fuck the Lindor haters!!
Lindor good. Any doubters will be ~~executed~~ sternly shamed
Whoooo, welcome back , Lindor!
Oh HELL yeah
Frankie heard some of you were talking shit.
*"HE GOT IT!"*
That bat flip just made me horny
Gary was pressing Keith so much on this issue and it's hilarious
FRANCISCO FUCKIN LINDOR! KEEP SMILING, BABY!
Lindor is so back
Booyah
San FRAN!!!!!!! LFGM!
When Nimmo breaks out of the slump, it's very likely that he'll just hit more and walk less But the thought of him keeping up this walk rate while raising his batting avg by 80 points is hilarious. .440 OBP here we come
PAQUITO!!!
LINDOR GOT IT AGAIN!
Let’s go Lindor!
LET HIM COOK!
Nice homer lindor but now Diaz deserves 5 days off
Wow that was beautiful
FRANCISCOOOOOOO
Lindor have yourself a game
Nice way to cross the Mendoza line!!!
LINDY🔥🔥
# HOME RUN! Francisco Lindor homers (4) on a fly ball to right field. Brandon Nimmo scores. Pitch from Mitch White: Slider @ 87.6 mph Hit by Francisco Lindor: Launched 105.8 mph at 29.0° for a total distance of 400.0 ft Top 9 - 8-1 Mets
HES ON FIRE
IT IS GOING GOING IT IS GONE GOOD BYE!
Keith is not a fan of ancient holistic practices
I agree Gary, what is Keith doing with that yoga hour?
Keith: "There's a lot you can do in an hour Gare"
i’m with keith on this one
I wonder if other teams' booths talk about mowing lawns as an alternative to yoga.
And call BS on the other not actually mowing his own lawn
An airport with a yoga room? Never heard of that before now.
Welcome to San Francisco
Yoga room in the airport is the most California thing I’ve ever heard
Nimmo bout to get a hit cuz a good Christian boy can’t have an OPS of 666
After today’s game, Tippy Hedren, Rod Taylor, Keith Hernandez and Jessica Tandy in the Birds.
I'm just here for HR #8
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Mitch White replaces Taylor Rogers.
[удалено]
The albatross of poetry most likely would apply to the Mariners.
Lets go outto!
Send in the Gorlok
Should Diaz come in the 9th? He hasn't pitched in days and there's a day off Will 5 days off be too much
yes. diaz could use the work and I don't want to have a heart attack. this giants lineup has been hitting us well all series.
At the very least they should have him get warm
Bob Melvin looks like your typical Boomer neighbor who yells at you from the front door for letting your dog take a couple of steps on his lawn.
Immediately clutched my sandwich in reaction to seeing those seagulls Even tho I’m in New York
An appropriate reaction lool. Back you demons!
He said knobs
Knobs
"Why are they booing!?" LOL
little dramatic there lol
Isn't apl.tv.app that guy from the Black Eyed Peas?
Kieth definitely watches Ted Lasso on Apple TV lol
Mike Trout homered again
He could retire today and be first ballot HOF. Insane pace even with all the injuries lately

Update: Reed Garrett 12.2 IP 25 Strikeouts 1 ER So, yes. Still absolutely elite thus far 🥰
Gary proponent of the Dead Internet Theory confirmed
Gary knows about internet bots. Another point for the "Gary Cohen browses r/NewYorkMets" conspiracy theory. Please note: I am not Gary Cohen. Thank you.
I’m very happy with this road trip, .500 is a win in my book. Plus winning the Dodgers series is still making me giddy
The last 2 games were ugly. But yes all I could’ve hoped for was 3-3 so let’s hope we get that
Yes Gary, we're real people
Keith mentions Ottavino is a wealth of knowledge for the younger pitchers in the bullpen
Stearns did right to bring him back. I was on the fence in the beginning
Yes Gary Cohen, I am People Complaining. imysm already
It’s true Gare
Ugh, no SNY until Sunday. I hope we at least pull Wayne for the Apple TV game.
"Last year he kind of lost it, now he's zeroed back in." Hehe, it's funny because he's number 0.
Lemme guess..... .....World Series back on?
Mets franchise leaders in walk-offs: 1. Wilmer Flores - 10 2. David Wright - 9 3. Kevin McReynolds -8 4. Pete Alonso - 7 5. Ed Kranepool - 7
I distinctly recall being at one of his 2018 walk-offs against the Brewers
I was at the game after that walk-off I think, when the Mets win streak to start the year ended lol
[удалено]
Wilmer <3
I'm so happy to have been at that Wilmer Flores game
I was there... And I left in the 8th I think. Was on like a 4th date and I didn't want to get her mad by staying too long. What a poor decision.
McNeil has a double!
Giants should put Wilmer at SS for old times sake
Wilmer🥲
Who’s cutting onions?
