Watch Edwin Diaz’ reaction after striking out Max Muncy in a key moment of today’s

Rumor has it from my very reliable contacts in San Diego that the Padres were not happy with Lindor’s glove-pound after this play at second. Heard in the dugout between innings: “make them pay for that!” And they did. Sad for the Mets.
#LGM
#Mets
If Jacob deGrom never throws another pitch, I’d STILL take him back on the Mets as a DH. There’s no question in my mind that he’s a better hitter than Vogelbach. AmIrite?
Serious question: with Steve Cohen’s billions, how tough would it be to find John Olerud and pay him whatever he wants to teach Brett Baty how to hit? Can we do that please, before the
#Mets
ruin another “can’t miss” prospect? Damn, does this kid look lost or what?
#LGM
Please
#Mets
fans, stop! Vogelbach is not “back”. He Conforto’ed a meaningless HR yesterday with the Mets up by 4 runs, but today when the game was on the line in the 8th, he K’ed at a pitch my Grandmother wouldn’t have swung at. He needs to be DFA’ed immediately. Mets lose, 5-3.
@RealSkipBayless
I like this tweet by Skip Bayless because he knows there's a high degree of stupidity and he's not EXPECTED to say anything smart. He can say it freely with a straight face instead of the nervous pressure he feels when no one watches his show. He was 1.4 average in high school
When the
#Mets
were up 5-2, Pete Alonso hit a monster solo HR. But when they were down 8-7 with the game on the line he … well, you can just guess what he did. Are you starting to see the difference between hitting and clutch hitting yet? Mets lose.
#LGM
#Mets
fans, please... no need to get on Jerad Eickhoff for this disastrous start. He's just not an
#MLB
caliber pitcher and shouldn't even be in the big leagues. I blame the Mets player development system & FO that necessitates him taking one for the team in the first place.
#LGM
Obviously, I’m not happy with this Max Scherzer trade. However, I will say this:
Steve Cohen immediately trading Max after he (as an employee not entitled to anything) demanded answers to where the team was headed after the trade of David Robertson was a definite “Boss Move”.
I’ve never seen anything like this after a
#Mets
game - and I mean that in a good way. Mets infielder Jose Iglesias (AKA Candelita) killed in in front of tonight’s
#CitiField
crowd. I bet every
#MLB
player wishes they were on this fun
@Mets
team.
#OMG
#LGM
Even though Charles Barkley calling Anthony Davis “Street Clothes” is the greatest nickname of all time, and everyone’s getting on AD for being “soft”, remember
#AnthonyDavis
looks at his paycheck and laughs at every one of you when he goes to the bank.
Eventually, Daniel Vogelbach is going to get a big hit. And when that happens, some clueless
#Mets
fan is going to tweet out “where are all the Vogelbach haters today”, totally ignoring the countless at-bats this guy has contributed to Mets losses. You watch.
Explain Francisco Lindor to me. Hey,
@StevenACohen2
, I’ll do this for only $340 million and save you some money. The result would be the same. *smh*
#Mets
#LGM
Who cares how many games Edwin Diaz blows for the Mets? As long as he’s able to “express himself” and “feel national pride” pitching in such meaningful events such as the World Baseball Classic, that’s all that really matters, right
#Mets
fans? *smh*
#WBC
We said Jacob deGrom would win double-digits this year and he did.
We said his ERA would be lower than 2.00 this year and it was.
We said he’d strikeout his 1000 career batter before the year was out and he did.
Now we’re saying he’s going to win Cy Young - and he will.
#Mets
If you’re a casual
#Mets
fan, you see Alvarez nailing the runner with a great pick-off throw. If you’re a student of the game, you listen to Keith Hernandez explain the nuances about how the play actually developed. That’s why GKR are the best!
#LGM
I challenge any
@Mets
fan to go through every game Bud Harrelson played for the Mets and find me ONE TIME where he made a mental error on the field. Just one!... You can't - because he was that special. RiP Buddy.

I’m ashamed to admit I fell for the Steve Cohen hype. I should have listened to the SEC about his fraudulent nature. Oh well, I guess us
#Mets
fans will get a nice casino complex built out of this at least. *smh*
@Michael1979
The problem with this analysis - while brilliant - is that it fails to take into account the physical location of the observer. Those on the Moon, Mars, Saturn, etc may experience time differently.
Gary, Ron, and Keith are the best in the business, but of the three, Keith Hernandez is the most important. Darling’s everywhere with national broadcasts, so he has to watch what he says. Cohen knows to pander to his employers. But with Hernandez, you get 100% pure authenticity!
@StevenACohen2
This tweet shows a remarkable lack of knowledge about how baseball games are won against good teams. I’m seriously concerned about our owner’s mindset. Seriously…
To all you
#Mets
fans who think the Mets should be sellers before the trade deadline: do you really think Billy Eppler is competent enough to strike ANY deal where he won’t be fleeced?
@StevenACohen2
, think about that and act accordingly.

If I’m Buck Showalter, I’d tell Daniel Vogelbach to just go to the locker room and stay there for the rest of the game after his little league baserunning bonehead mistake cost the
#Mets
a run and ended their best first inning of the year. I can’t believe this is an
#MLB
player!
Yes, the Mets won tonight’s game 6-5 over the Phillies, but let’s just be honest here: Francisco Lindor is stealing money. I think the only solution to his offensive woes is to give this guy more standing ovations to celebrate his continued failure.
#LGM
I don’t think
#Mets
fans are appreciating how unbelievable Wilson Ramos’ hitting streak is! 23 straight is amazing! .. and continuing it with pinch hitting is even more remarkable - especially when the hit is clutch and it ties the ballgame in the late innings. Wow!
#LGM
#LFGM
I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. Remember when
#Mets
fans were clamoring over Craig Counsell as manager and we said the guy was a disaster waiting to happen? I give you the fully stacked, yet last place Chicago Cubs - all due to "analytics".
I’m only going to say 1 thing about tonight’s 10-inning 5-4 loss: whether
@GMBVW
orders
#Callaway
to do it or not, every time 0-for-5 Robinson Cano is in the starting lineup, it’s a big “FU”to
#Mets
fans - and every time he’s in the 3 spot, it’s a big “FU” to logic & common sense
I’ve been shouting this from the rooftops for years now: Advanced Analytics is turning pitchers into wussified babies with an attitude of “just doing enough”. If you want a winner, you want bulldogs, not deer. This is a very bad look for George Kirby.
Keith Hernandez just said on the Mets broadcast that he has asked SNY not to make him call games against the Phillies because he doesn't like watching them play.
"As far as fundamentally and defensively, the Phillies have always been just not up to it."
Steve Cohen is finding out quickly it’s easier to defraud unsuspecting investors out of billions of dollars through hedge funds, wire fraud, securities fraud, and insider trading than it is to build a contending
#Mets
team within 5 years. Sorry, too soon?
If any of you younger Mets fans want to know what is was like when the Mets traded Tom Seaver in 1977, you’re getting a very slight taste of it with today’s Justin Verlander trade: Cy Young pitcher for a “solid return” as per Met apologists. It took almost a decade to recover.
You younger Mets fans may not believe this, but there was a time Tim McCarver announced
@Mets
games on par with the level of Gary/Keith/Ron ... and maybe even better! Sad to hear of his passing.

The

team!
#LGM
#MetsX
SNY better work this out with Keith Hernandez! Mets games just wouldn’t be the same without him in the booth. In fact, given the choice and had to pick one, I rather have Hernandez over Carlos Correa… and I think I’m being serious here.
I really don’t know what to make of David Peterson. Sometimes it looks like he has great potential, and other times - like in today’s
#Mets
7-4 loss to the Giants - he looks like he’s throwing meatballs even I could hit. Either way, he’s my nominee for the Steven Matz Award.
#LGM
Brodie Scam Wagenen fell for the “Edwin Diaz is the best closer in baseball” trick just because he saved 57 meaningless games last year with Seattle when no one watched the games and there was no pressure. Yes, my friends... playing in NY for the
#Mets
is a whole different animal
Remember back in 2007 when the Mets were chasing a post-season berth and the Marlins came into town and totally kicked the living daylights out of them in what is still considered today as the “Tom Glavine Game”? I wouldn’t mind a little revenge today. How about you?
#LGM
#MetsX
Nobody - and I mean NOBODY - got on Francisco Lindor more than we did earlier in the season, but give credit where credit is due. His 2-out 2-run single today in the 9th inning to give the

#LGM
#MetsWin
#MetsX
Well, the
#Mets
lost 6-2 to the Padres today, but there is good news: now .211 hitting Pete Alonso can concentrate full-time on the meaningless HR Derby he seems so psyched to participate in. Now that’s focus! THAT’S

The talent is there for the

team)!!!
I’ve always hated Pete Rose. Even as a kid, while everyone else loved him for his hustle, I somehow knew he was an a-hole in real life. But at this point, as
#MLB
has embraced gambling to a sickening level, he deserves to be in the HOF, if only just because of
@MLB
hypocrisy.
Derek Jeter WAY overplayed his hand for J.T, Realmuto and as a result the
#Mets
were able to sign Wilson Ramos without giving away any future stars (and/or Syndergaard). Great move by the Mets today. Brodie:1, Jeter: 0 - what a disaster he's been for the Marlins so far.
Buck was saving Robertson for the ninth?!?!? OMG, how many times do I have to say it: not every game is won, lost, or ”saved” in the 9th inning! Sometimes, like today, the game has to be “saved” in the 8th. Please, play the game to win!
#Mets
#LGM
Want to know why baseball is dying? Paul Skenes had a no-hitter going through 7, then got pulled from the game “just because”. There goes the
#NoHitter
; there goes a possible great fan memory. Instead, let’s give homage to the fictional pitchcount. *smh*
Guess how many runs the
#Mets
scored off solo-HRs tonight? Two. And guess how many they scored with bases loaded at-bats that require a “situational hitting” clutch mindset? ZERO… again! And that, my
@Mets
fan friends, is the problem with this offense.
There’s not much to say about tonight’s 3-1 loss to Cleveland, so let me say this: the main difference between us and just about every other fan site is that we tell the truth, whether it’s pro-Mets or not. And the truth is the
#Mets
lost the Lindor trade.
You can’t get more cringeworthy than
#ESPN

Francisco Lindor is getting lots of applause lately from the Citi Field

faithful, unlike the jeers he heard earlier in the season. It’s almost like when a player plays well, fans cheer … and when they don’t on a consistent basis, they boo. Who knew?
Cy Young winner and slam-dunk future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander can’t go more than 6 innings? It’s a sad state of affair when dominant pitchers get pulled from games. just because “The Book” says so. No one can tell me this is good for baseball.

It's the sound of

fans turning the channel as walk-happy Justin Verlander gives up 3 runs to put the game seemingly out of reach.
Only kidding - the game's on AppleTV, so no one's watching anyway.
#AppleTV

Not sure who needs to hear this, but did you know you don’t have to remove your starting pitcher (like Megill today) just because “the book” says so? And don’t give me this “pitchcount” BS. Everyone with a brain knows it’s completely arbitrary and made up.
There was a time when Dick Vitale was entertaining. But just like Chris Berman, John Madden, and countless others, all shticks and gimmicks grow tiresome and boring after a while and turn into trainlike wreck embarrassments. Dicky V, retire - everyone knows that.

If yesterday was Francisco Lindor’s “breakout game” (which it wasn’t), tonight’s 8-7

After Pete Alonso yelled “Throw It Again” after homering off the Braves pitcher Bryce Elder, they immediately came back scoring 5 unanswered runs to win the game 6-4 over the Mets. You think the
#Mets
could do something like that? Not with this lineup.
Mark Vientos, Trevor Gott, Denyi Reyes, TJ McFarland, Josh Walker, Danny Mendick, etc. Are you starting to see why the
#Mets
and Eppler CAN’T be sellers at the trade deadline? There’s no one at any level in this entire organization that can recognize real

I first got strong "Dave Mlicki" vibes from David Peterson in tonight's
