I mean he probably didn’t care to begin with, but that really confirmed it.

Nothing else to say other than our offense rolling over for the brewers. They have no fight.

Nimmo 2.1 Semien -0.9. That is all.

EDIT - The plan was not for Ewing to get playing time this year. He wasn't a top 100 prospect and was in AA. Stearns got lucky that he has been good, but that doesn't mean it was part of the plan. The plan was Robert Jr. in center, Baty in left and call up Benge mid season.

Additionally, why couldn't he just stick Nimmo at 1st or DH? He made a terrible decision, and just because you can explain his thought process doesn't make it correct. Ewing has mitigated another strategic war crime by Stearns.

Who else adores this guy? He's so cool I even have a Brazoban game-worn jersey that I wear to games. The only good thing Stearns ever did (Torrens too). With my luck, they both get traded.

& y do u like him

So Baty playing out of position fucked up that routine fly ball sooo badly, that its marked as a hit and 2 runs earned for Scott?!?!?

Since when did he become a right fielder? I can think of a couple better options in right field.

We had amazing OF def last night and today we stick Batt out there. We have SO many of’s now that Taylor and Roberts Jr are healthy - why tf is Baty out there??

I hate this team. I hate whoever is putting line ups together

Also, who's to say we can't get on a hot streak like the Red Sox? You Gotta Believe.

I’m a 17-year-old Mets fan, and Peralta’s decline has been worrying me.

I kept hearing explanations like velocity loss or bad location, but neither fully matched the data. His four-seam actually went from 93.7 mph to 94.5 mph, and he did not suddenly start throwing more pitches down the middle.

The bigger changes were:

• Four-seam chase rate: 27.4% → 20.0%
• Four-seam whiff rate: 21.5% → 17.1%
• Four-seam hard-hit rate: 19.1% → 30.6%
• Four-seam RV/100: +1.90 → -1.55
• His changeup also became less effective
• First-pitch and two-strike fastballs got much worse

His ERA went from 2.64 during his strong opening stretch to 6.56 during the decline, so the drop-off is real.

The hopeful part is that his velocity and general pitch shape are still intact, his walk rate has not gotten worse, and his overall xwOBA barely changed. That makes me think this could be an execution, deception, and sequencing problem rather than his stuff completely disappearing.

I wrote a full breakdown with the pitch data and location charts here:

Would be interested to hear what other Mets fans have noticed from watching his starts.

How much is/are the autographs of the entire 1998 New York Mets

on a baseball with Piazza (first year) Valentine, Olerud, Baerga, Franco etc., etc.

and a JSA certificate of authenticity?

The most die hard and miserable Mets fans,

of which I have a great deal of respect for right now

because you're still buying tickets to go to the games,

how valuable of an artifact is that baseball to you right now

if it were in your possession and you were selling it?

Also reported White Sox were in attendance during BP session. Other pundits have suggested a comp deal from last year Shane Bieber netted a fringe top 100 prospect. Difference being Holmes injury was not his arm.

Not really clear in the info!

I’m not usually a WSJ reader, but this article hit the nail on the head. There is just not excuse for this - and the heat needs to be on Stearns big time. If the regression in the minors continues, he’ll go down as the worst executive for the team since at least the 1990s.

Why take him out after only 81 pitches? Let him start the 7th and take him out if gets in trouble. I hate that baseball has conditioned not only the players but the fans to accept 6 innings as the norm. If you never let them try to go deep in the game, you'll never know if they can do it. It's like what Crush said to Marlon on Finding Nemo, "when they know, you'll know dude."

They should be spending the rest of the season conditioning these guys to be more efficient with their pitch counts since the bullpen will be decimated in two weeks after the trade deadline. McLean and Scott haven't taken the next step to me because their pitch counts get way too high chasing strikeouts early in the game.

It's also quite obvious they have no interest in winning the days Manaea and Senga piggyback because they're just trying to fill innings so that's not good for morale. That can be mitigated by teaching that starters to be more efficient and saving the bullpen arms for those days because they'll have plenty of traffic on base to practice on those days.

In a lost season, I want to see internal growth within the starters like how Wheeler did in 2018. He was incredible in the second half of that season.

Hi people, I'm an international student that's looking to catch the Mets at Citi field in the next few days and I'm kinda torn between going to the Dodgers game, which has more expensive ticket prices but the chance to see Ohtani play, versus going to the Braves game, which is about 3x cheaper, for a first game. sorry if this is not allowed to post.

I just learned the rules of baseball, I'm a lifelong cricket fan, and I've been meaning to start following the great game here and root for the Mets. Please advice!

Thanks in advance.

Their was a time and may still be in the time where people say stop relying on the prospects and spend money… but I think after tonight our youth Christian Scott, Nolan McLean, zac(h) Thornton proved to me we need to show some reliance on our our pitching prospects. It has fully shifted my mentality of full spending or also showing interest in your prospects. What do you guys think? Should the Mets stick with their young heads or keep a few and rely on free agency. I honestly think that we stick with those 3 and get 1 arm and keep Holmes. Don’t forget about tong and wenninger.
