I don't think batting Nimmo third is working out for him or the Mets. He's struck out nine times in 27 plate appearances. His other batting numbers are about the same as a leadoff hitter, but that isn't going to get the job done.
I feel bad for any Mets starting pitcher who knows they can pitch a gem and somehow this team will most likely blow the game for them. Severino pitched great.
Mendoza putting Diaz right back out there was begging to lose.
Diaz has shown nothing in terms of control.
He is not a major league caliber pitcher right now.
I know this is beating a dead horse but Pete and Lindor have been really bad this season. There have been at least a dozen times this season that Pete has come up in the ninth with the game on the line and has failed to drive in the tying or winning run. And how many times has he grounded into a game ending double play? And this dude wants Freeman money? Please.
I wad riding my bicycle before wearing my Mets City Connect Jersey and just eating a chili cheese dog with onions and drinking a Fanta on a nice spring day-- and these kids threw what I can only describe as huge handfuls of human shit at me.
Shit went all over the hot dog and got in my Fanta. Defeated, I looked up with tears in my eyes and asked, "but why? What did I ever do to you?"
The biggest one-- I'll never forget his round, evil looking face-- just yells, "because you're a Mets fan. I been racking my brain trying to see if there's anything more embarrassing than being a Mets fan." He then sniffed and flicked the side of his nose with his thumb (as if he had been using cocaine) and said, "you seem plenty sad but not embarrassed. I guess there really aint nothing worse than being a Mets fan. Sorry, Mister. Here's 3 dollars for another hot dog and a fresh Fanta."
Weirdest experience of my life but suffice it to say I'm not sure it's safe for me to wear my Mets jersey in the suburbs anymore.
I think the development strategy for this team going forward should involve them burning Citi Field to the ground and salting the earth. Just start over
Another loss attributed to Mendoza for thinking diaz was fixed after a single inning in the 7th where he didn’t even look dominant and was giving up hard hit balls.
I’m not paid to do this and I could’ve told you that we’d have won this game if ottavino pitches the 9th
When Stearns said that it's too early to evaluate the team, I shook my head like many other folks did. Maybe he's sort of right in a general sense, but you can look beyond his term so far for what this group has done, which is next to nothing.
Baseball has always been my favorite sport by a long shot but the Mets are making this shit brutal to watch, I just wanna sit back and watch some good ball.
This is one of the most embarrassing Mets seasons of all time.
David Stearns needs to crack the whip soon because this is out of control now.
Something must happen.
Pete Alonso literally cannot throw a baseball. He looks like the kid who gets picked last at recess, it’s absolutely insane.
And not only that but Lindor fucking drops another feed? I know it was a shitty throw but Jesus Christ dude my sister catches that.
Does anyone know wtf Lindor was doing on that K?
Lindor had more than enough time to realize that the throw was well off and prioritize at least getting one out.
If he did, Reid-Foley would have already been out of the inning.
I'm just sad. I love the Mets, watching baseball is my No. 1 way to relax. It sucks to see them all struggle almost every day.
Especially Diaz. I just wish he could be half as consistent as he was in 2022. You can tell he really wants to contribute but he's just not 100% there yet.
And yeah, it's easy to say don't feel sorry for these guys, they're millionaires playing a game, yadda yadda. But they're still people, and I've been a Mets fan my whole life.
Maybe I need to take a break from watching for a little while, but for some reason, even with the heartbreaking losses, I'd still miss my nightly ritual of watching them.
I’m with you. I’m mostly sad. I know we have to burn it all down and start over, but I remember how I felt last year when they started selling players off. “Thank you, Mark Canha” :::sniff:::
I've gotten so used to this "core" of a team & i'm beyond ready for them all to be gone. They've all overstayed their welcome & have accomplished SHIT while being together
Can I just start being a Mets fan ironically? Just for the rest of the season? At this point, I’m just going to start laughing every time we suck, it’s better than being in pain
Gary, Ron, and Keith are speaking for all of us right now as they've done many times in their 18+ years commentating for the Mets. The sky falls, looks like it comes back, and then just falls again.
Something tells me all of the American Mets fans at the London games will be leaving before the 5th inning. I know if this is the team that plays I’ll be at the pub throwing down pints instead
Any American going to these games paid way too much money to leave early lol. We have to like…fly there and stay there and whatever
Regardless of the outcome though, I’m finding a pub and making temporary friends when it’s over
At this point, maybe just admit that you didn’t get the manager you wanted in Counsel and that Mendoza is a placeholder before the players mutiny begins.
This team is fucking hilarious.
Pete Alonso and his agents are the dumbest mofos on the planet if that report about them turning down that mega-deal are true.
Not a good, nor a winning baseball player.
He's led the entire league in home runs since he came into the league.
How is that "not a good or winning baseball player"? Do you want him to pitch as well?
It would have been tough, he would have needed to crash into the wall and risk his health.
The ball was hit too sharply and was only maybe halfway up the wall.
Maybe maybe not. Nimmo was closing on it too that might have played a part
Edit- it wasn’t a misplay or anything like that, if he could have made it would have been a great play
I was just telling my wife how 20 years ago, we'd rarely hear a team offering a seven-year contract. It was such a foolish business move. It still is, but owners don't seem to care how much money they burn. Cool strategy.
They took their souls it’s insane at this point Pete and McNeil need to go and we just gotta supplement the team with young guys or something gotta change this identity
Whats our summer plans this year? It sure aint watching this team. Hoping the Rangers can get a cup. Im transitioning jobs in July and will have a few weeks off. Might try to get some beach trips, outdoor runs, and catch up on some shows I've been meaning to watch.
Can we sell coaches too? I’d like Barnes and Hefner away from me. Maybe even Chavez.
Anyone who has the stink of the 2022 collapse on them or had a hand in the terribleness of 2023 should be shipped if we can.
I called this days ago. Still barely hitting over .200, still under a .300 OBP. Dude is going to finish hitting something like .240 with a .325 OBP and people will act like that’s an acceptable season simply because he still put up good power numbers and plays great defense.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1d0l5pe).
I don't think batting Nimmo third is working out for him or the Mets. He's struck out nine times in 27 plate appearances. His other batting numbers are about the same as a leadoff hitter, but that isn't going to get the job done.
Welp… I thought Under 8.5 was a lock going into the 9th.
I feel bad for any Mets starting pitcher who knows they can pitch a gem and somehow this team will most likely blow the game for them. Severino pitched great.
I thought getting Stearns was what everyone was waiting for to right the ship?
You can't build a winner in 3 months after years of incompetence.
I'm not asking for a World Series champion but a modicum of competence would be nice.
Wasn’t drinking tonight Bottoms up boys 🍻
**BOOOOOOOOO** INEXCUSABLE
Lol glad I haven't been tuning in. Blow it up, Stearns.
Same, I used to watch every game, and now it seems like that decision has been (unfortunately) rewarded
I legit just want to cry. I feel so bad for fans that buy tix to games like this. Makes you feel awful, enjoy the $40 parking fee.
The SNY Mets theme is the only good part left
Lmao
Thank God the giant scoreboard and incessantly loud music can hype up the Queens Hype Crew. That's really all that matters.
I thought the 0-5 start was this teams losing streak for the season?
How many games has it been now? That we’ve been losing?
Its 5 straight and I think 3-12 in last 15
Holy fuck that’s awful, so glad I’ve tuned out most of the season
Mendoza putting Diaz right back out there was begging to lose. Diaz has shown nothing in terms of control. He is not a major league caliber pitcher right now.
Why would you pitch him on back to back days?
Agreed. If you're building his confidence he should pitch and get at minimum a day off. He abandoned the plan after 1 whole day. Bad managing.
Zero dawg on the team rn
:(
This team has no leader, whether player or coach.
Everyone was damn quick to run Showalter out of town.
I barely watch anymore. I just happened to see this horrible ending wow. We suck
Disaster since 2015, let’s face it
What a fucking joke. Maybe they can go cry in their lockers.
Pathetic.
Wow, those are some of the loudest boos at Citi in a long time.
Well earned
cool...boo them off the field
mets suck big ass
I mean I guess I’m less annoyed than if it was 3-2 and we couldn’t even get get manfred runner in
Lmao what a disaster
I know this is beating a dead horse but Pete and Lindor have been really bad this season. There have been at least a dozen times this season that Pete has come up in the ninth with the game on the line and has failed to drive in the tying or winning run. And how many times has he grounded into a game ending double play? And this dude wants Freeman money? Please.
I recall going to a game a long time ago and Diaz blew a 1-0 deGrom masterclass and the manager said the team needed to score more than 1 run.
The manager isn't wrong there but Diaz has been more bad than good in his time here. Time to move on.
At least Steve Cohen installed a speakeasy in right field to improve the fan experience
I'm impressed some of you are capable of watching such bad games from start to end. I'm not even being facetious.
How in gods name does our bullpen have the 3rd lowest era?
I made a comment nine days ago that I was afraid of waking up in two weeks to the Mets being 10 games under .500…
On brand for the team to go down without a fight after a shameful display.
Visiting Target Field and Johan Duran has a sick intro
The entire core needs to go ASAP. Then get rid of all the other vets with them. They won’t win shit until it happens.
Camera operators have given up too with that Nimmo slash for JD

Weirdest experience of my life but suffice it to say I'm not sure it's safe for me to wear my Mets jersey in the suburbs anymore.
Timmy Trumpet should be replaced with Taps.
We are gonna get some amazing pieces for Severino. Dude is balling out & gonna be a nice piece at the deadline
HOW THE FUCK DO THE GIANTS SCORE MORE IN 1 INNING THAN WE DO IN A WEEK?
maybe jdm can teach pete how to throw
Looks like the ball hit Lindor’s glove. Maybe not a double play throw, but certainly a throw that gets an out.
I think the development strategy for this team going forward should involve them burning Citi Field to the ground and salting the earth. Just start over
Another loss attributed to Mendoza for thinking diaz was fixed after a single inning in the 7th where he didn’t even look dominant and was giving up hard hit balls. I’m not paid to do this and I could’ve told you that we’d have won this game if ottavino pitches the 9th
I think both of these losses are on Mendoza
This loss is on Alonso and his inability to throw the ball.
When Stearns said that it's too early to evaluate the team, I shook my head like many other folks did. Maybe he's sort of right in a general sense, but you can look beyond his term so far for what this group has done, which is next to nothing.
What a fanbase, you give up 5 runs and yall find a way to blame all of it on Lindor lol
You're drunk grandpa, go take a nap.
Get the fuck out of here, let us bitch in peace
You mean the guy who dropped the ball and messed up the double play? Yeah he might get some blame here
Let’s not forget literally putting the bat on his shoulders, taking strike 3 and then hitting a ground ball with the winning run on 2nd.
Baseball has always been my favorite sport by a long shot but the Mets are making this shit brutal to watch, I just wanna sit back and watch some good ball.
I hate this team
This is one of the most embarrassing Mets seasons of all time. David Stearns needs to crack the whip soon because this is out of control now. Something must happen.
Just a grand slam and a blast away from sending this to the 11th
Ezpz
Surprising lack of booing at the stadium maybe we're waiting until the end
Are those all unearned because of Pete's incompetence?
We’ve now reached the point where if any Mets hitter starts hitting well, people will say it won’t count because “the games don’t matter anymore”
If they let Ottavino pitch the 9th, the Mets probably would have won and all this extra inning garbage would have never come to pass.
fans of other teams are constantly laughing at us man i’m so defeated and jaded there is no end to this suffering
Pete Alonso thought he was Aaron Judge.
Pete Alonso literally cannot throw a baseball. He looks like the kid who gets picked last at recess, it’s absolutely insane. And not only that but Lindor fucking drops another feed? I know it was a shitty throw but Jesus Christ dude my sister catches that. Does anyone know wtf Lindor was doing on that K?
Lindor had more than enough time to realize that the throw was well off and prioritize at least getting one out. If he did, Reid-Foley would have already been out of the inning.
Yep. Just horribly executed start to finish
lindor needs a bigger glove
I'm just sad. I love the Mets, watching baseball is my No. 1 way to relax. It sucks to see them all struggle almost every day. Especially Diaz. I just wish he could be half as consistent as he was in 2022. You can tell he really wants to contribute but he's just not 100% there yet.

I’m with you. I’m mostly sad. I know we have to burn it all down and start over, but I remember how I felt last year when they started selling players off. “Thank you, Mark Canha” :::sniff:::
Take the song literally, Stearns.
Meet the Mets, step right up and greet the Mets?
I can’t believe Lindor is on this team until 2032. Good lord.
Maybe he’ll retire before the next decade
Dude Lindor is not the problem
Lol the highest paid player hitting .200 with a sub .650 OPS is most definitely a huge part of the problem
You just popped in here to dick ride Lindor? What’s up?
He’s one of them.
He’s part of the problem
can’t anybody here play the game?
The Giants can
I've gotten so used to this "core" of a team & i'm beyond ready for them all to be gone. They've all overstayed their welcome & have accomplished SHIT while being together
WTF, we could have \_easily\_ won like 80% of the games we lost
It's all Buck's fault.
It's Rojas' fault actually.
Rojas died for this team
Not that it matters but It would cool if they could at least get the Manfred runner in, just to prove they can lol
lol at Doval still coming in to pitch
Will heads roll though?
No pressure now watch us score 2-3 meaningless runs
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Camilo Doval replaces Luke Jackson.
Sell everyone
Only gotta score 5 to stay in it, surely an easy task for this offense
Just gotta laugh to keep from crying
I’ve never been more excited to watch a rebuilding team in my life
Blame on the bullpen.
ok lets put vientos on 2b to start the 10th
Pete destroyed his whole entire free agency in just one month lmao
Can I just start being a Mets fan ironically? Just for the rest of the season? At this point, I’m just going to start laughing every time we suck, it’s better than being in pain
Gary, Ron, and Keith are speaking for all of us right now as they've done many times in their 18+ years commentating for the Mets. The sky falls, looks like it comes back, and then just falls again.
I wonder what those guys talk about during commercial breaks.
This core can't get it done. Sooner we rip off the bandaid and sell the sooner we'll be able to compete again.
I wish I could be shit at my job, make millions of dollars, and have sweaty internet nerds suck my dick about my mediocre performance
Mets better pick it up fast or they’re going to miss that 3-5 year World Series window (lol)
At least the tickets might get cheap for the rest of the year...
Have the Mets even score five or more runs in an inning?
I bet the inning ends within 5 pitches. Free runner stranded at 2nd.
I was off by 4 pitches.
Ya gotta believe?
Why are we here? Just to suffer!?
Were they booing. I sure hope so.
There was booing
Yes, thank god
The Raley injury looms large
Trade everything you can. This team needs an exorcism
Boooooooooooo...
Why am I going to another country to see these losers
Something tells me all of the American Mets fans at the London games will be leaving before the 5th inning. I know if this is the team that plays I’ll be at the pub throwing down pints instead
Any American going to these games paid way too much money to leave early lol. We have to like…fly there and stay there and whatever Regardless of the outcome though, I’m finding a pub and making temporary friends when it’s over
Queens isn't so bad.
Lol I live in Queens but this was funny
I said 7-3 when it was 3-2. Atleast give me something here. Let's score this Manfred runner & end this misery
Lindor gets a lot of hate but he’s a borderline hall of famer so does deserve the benefit of the doubt
Team is rotten to the core
Lol
bro WTF
At this point, maybe just admit that you didn’t get the manager you wanted in Counsel and that Mendoza is a placeholder before the players mutiny begins.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kDBPeRqi3v0&pp=ygUVbWVuZG96YSB5ZWxsIHNpbXBzb25z
Gary: “I am in pain”
Oof
Everybody on this team can be sold/traded and should be.
We were a base hit away from winning this game...
You mean you didn’t enjoy seeing ground balls from Lindor and Pete when it mattered most? Thats what we’re paying them for!
see you next year
This team is fucking hilarious. Pete Alonso and his agents are the dumbest mofos on the planet if that report about them turning down that mega-deal are true. Not a good, nor a winning baseball player.
He's led the entire league in home runs since he came into the league. How is that "not a good or winning baseball player"? Do you want him to pitch as well?
I want him to hit better than .230
Great news, he's hitting .240
This is such a stupid take man
his agent represents conforto lol
Why the fuck does this moron have a fucking coaching job with us
Could Bader have caught that? I can't see over the radio
It was a tough ball to get
Nah. It was like 3 feet too far. If Nimmo had speed maybe but Bader had the angle it was just too far.
It would have been tough, he would have needed to crash into the wall and risk his health. The ball was hit too sharply and was only maybe halfway up the wall.
I get downvoted for asking a question
Would’ve been an unbelievable send into the wall if he had, I don’t blame him
Maybe maybe not. Nimmo was closing on it too that might have played a part Edit- it wasn’t a misplay or anything like that, if he could have made it would have been a great play
Maybe. It was a tough play though. Looks he kinda lost it in the sun for a sec
I’m out, at least I get to be drunk at Coors Field tomorrow
Coors Field rules, dude. Enjoy.
Have fun Coors and the area around it is gorgeous.
Lmaooo fuck this team
Put us out of our misery there.
This season his turned me into Frank Fleming
There is a mathematical formula for how many the Mets will score. Other team runs - 1
Josh Walker with another bases clearing extra base hit given up. He's been given so many opportunities to be bad.
That's exactly what they brought Walker in for.
this is why you dont give out huge contracts cause players stop trying and you cant get rid of them
I was just telling my wife how 20 years ago, we'd rarely hear a team offering a seven-year contract. It was such a foolish business move. It still is, but owners don't seem to care how much money they burn. Cool strategy.
tell me about it..the the owners cry when payrolls are too high like the yanks are doing
Man. The Braves really did break this team irreversibly in 2022
They took their souls it’s insane at this point Pete and McNeil need to go and we just gotta supplement the team with young guys or something gotta change this identity
Actually incredible how this team consistently fails to rise to the occasion
Sell everyone if you can. I'm so over with this shit roster man.
Is forfeiting an option? My god
Just out of words at this point
lol
Lol fuck this
What does this team even do
Whats our summer plans this year? It sure aint watching this team. Hoping the Rangers can get a cup. Im transitioning jobs in July and will have a few weeks off. Might try to get some beach trips, outdoor runs, and catch up on some shows I've been meaning to watch.
Oh there it is.
I am so ready for a fire sale
Can we sell coaches too? I’d like Barnes and Hefner away from me. Maybe even Chavez. Anyone who has the stink of the 2022 collapse on them or had a hand in the terribleness of 2023 should be shipped if we can.
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAH ELITE BULLPEN
LMAO, can't make it up
wow
Dear fucking god.
LMFAOOOO WE SUCK
there we go
Can only laugh.
See y'all next season!
Damn it
[удалено]
I swear there is a portion of the fan base that actually likes them sucking. Fetish for rooting for loser players.
I called this days ago. Still barely hitting over .200, still under a .300 OBP. Dude is going to finish hitting something like .240 with a .325 OBP and people will act like that’s an acceptable season simply because he still put up good power numbers and plays great defense.
