OT: MLB Thread XLVII

McCann is just god awful. Has he had even one clutch hit all year? I'm the first to admit that I liked the signing and not going for Realumuto was the right move. Well I was wrong...dead wrong. He has absolutely no clue at the plate...zero...none...ugghhh!!!

 

[GoAwayGiannone]

Rojas putting in Barnes instead of Familia is a bone head decision. Now he comes in, gives up 4 runs in 2 ABs after being so hot, which I'm sure will weigh on him in future save situations. Should have just put him in to start with.

Yeah I recognized that there was a chance he could be bad, reverting to what he was, but he has been worth -.5 fWAR through 26 games. So if he plays 100 games at this rate he's worth -2 fWAR which basically makes him the worst player in the majors. This, so far, has been beyond worst-case.

Who was available at catcher other than McCann and Realmuto? I feel like the Mets were afraid if they didn't sign a catcher right away they'd be left empty handed so they signed McCann. Were many teams even in on Realmuto and did the Mets even make an offer?

The best options behind Realmuto and McCann were probably Yadier, Zunino, and Wilson Ramos. So the guy we had, a guy who wasn't going to leave STL, and Zunino.

I've heard several things about Realmuto was not enthusiastic about signing with the Mets, but I don't know how accurate they were. Either way, he was in no rush to sign and the Mets wanted to get moving, so I get it.

Nightmare weekend in Tampa.

Yup. I knew the baseball gods would F with us since we had a 7 game winning streak and things were going pretty well.

I mean god forbid us Met fans can have any serenity at all for too long...ugh!!

Stanton to the IL - 10 days/ quad. (water is wet)

how do you hurt your quad as a full-time DH?

 

[Bob Richards]

Would anyone here like to pitch for the Mets lol

They should have some openings

 

[Greg02]

deGrom, Syndergaard, Carrasco, Walker, Lugo would be a top three rotation, right?

50 Cent running out to the mound with “Many Men” playing, throwing like this and still posting a lower ERA than Joey Lucchesi.

[East Coast Bias]
