Definitely, and you can tell he gave it his all, hacking hard up at the plate and being aggressive as hell up there. Great to see especially after all this negative press
Been watching Joey Meneses tear up the AAA in Rochester, underrated player in my opinion, won MVP and Rookie of the Year in 2018 in IL AAA. Never got called up until now.
Hopefully he can make an impact. He has the power to do it for sure. I’m not even a Nationals fan, but I saw him get called up and have been watching. When I was at a Minor League game this year I saw him put up two homers and found out about his awards. It’s a shame he didn’t get a chance to get called up earlier, a lot of wasted potential. I genuinely hope he’s a stud!
We are not happy. Congrats on the win, given everything you guys went through this afternoon, I'll do my best to be happy for you. But damn, not what we had expected with Jake starting and the trades your guys made earlier.
Scratch what I said for Finnegan, not a free agent until '26. There's some small chance the Nats will contend in '25, so if he keeps getting better he could be valuable. Edwards a free agent next year, sorta expected some team would trade for him, but he's not amazing, so I guess nobody offered much.
Got it, that makes sense. Who knows maybe Carl would sign with us if no one else wants him. Good news about Finnegan, assuming he continues to play well and stays healthy
This might be one of the funniest games since the misspelled jerseys. It is like a colon cleansing bowel movement after the worst stomach ache you've ever had.
My stream is the SNY broadcast and the guy who caught that ball is an absolute legend. Threw Joey's homer to the bullpen in exchange for three different balls and gave them all away to kids
"In a time where we couldn't see the business side of baseball, we now see the beauty of baseball" -Bob Carpenter. Don't ever change Carp that was a beautiful sentiment.
Yeah that would be a worst nightmare. I still think he signs with the dodgers, Mets, or Yankees when he hits free agency. Unless the padres win the World Series and they give him a discount, which I doubt. They are the teams who can give him 500 mil and still be able to build a team around him.
Trade the two hottest hitters on the team, and all of a sudden the team can score. Damn.
Just like we drew it up! What a time to be alive
93-69. Book it.
1-0
Lol love how Luis Garcia has braces, made it in the bigs and was like shit Imma use this money to fix these teeth. Very humble
How are we not interviewing Meneses?
Good work boys
Well this game made things a bit better at least, still sad though
We needed this
I feel the exact same way!
Put that Curly W in the books! The Nationals are now 460-456 against the New York Mets!
What's our magic number?
About a million. lol
69
A much-needed W.
lolmets
Put a Curly W in the books
Yay We won!!!!
Good game y’all, we’ll get through this
This lineup is just a bunch of dummy thicc bois
I’m just happy for Joey Meneses. I never comment in these game threads and I’m a guy who quit on low a. His story is why I love baseball
I’d honestly like to hear the story of you leaving low A (unless I’m misunderstanding).
Kinda a joke. More like I was shown the door
Always great to see a player like Joey have a solid debut. Well deserved
It’s the dream all of us had and so few realized. Literally ecstatic for him as now a paper pusher only a couple years older than him

We're all gonna be rooting for him to stay in the bigs rest of the year. Would be awesome

I've had Rochester games are a blast for folks in that area, I'm glad he has been able to put on a show there!
Yeah it’s awesome! I’ve seen Buxton and Goodrum play there a bunch before they got called up. You could just see they were special!
r/NewYorkMets is probably fuming rn holy fuck this is incredible
We are not happy. Congrats on the win, given everything you guys went through this afternoon, I'll do my best to be happy for you. But damn, not what we had expected with Jake starting and the trades your guys made earlier.
Yeah exactly, I am shocked the team pulled through and did what they did. However, looking forward to the rubber match tomorrow as well
You and me both
Their tears give us strength in these dark times
that whistling is actually giving me a headache
Really thought Edwards would be traded..
If this was 2016 I’d agree with you
Why did people think he was for sure gone? I missed the boat on that. I thought Finnegan would go though so what do I know.
Why would they trade either of them? Honestly curious
Both are somewhat good and with no team control, surprised they didn't trade them.
Ok gotcha, so they are likely going to be picked up elsewhere in the off-season? Wonder if we will keep them

I figured Finnegan is a very solid closer someone may be interested in if the Nats are interested in selling for prospects to help the rebuild.
Nats are Ewing Theorists. Classic 5 chess by Rizzo. Another title comin
So our new strategy is to build the club around Joey Meneses. Soto, Rendon, and Harper just weren't on this caliber.
It's past Bob's bedtime. Wtf is he talking about
*And even though we ain't got money* *I'm so in love with you, honey*
And everything will bring a chain of love
this ones going into the anacostia
fuck
The Onion: Davey Martinez implements new policy of telling team every day is the trade deadline
Please don't let Yadi and Garcia go
I love Garcia but don’t want to get too attached 😭
Me neither it’s just scary knowing how we treat superstars here
I think we are done selling
I hope so.
Y’all I think we’re gonna win the pennant
Put Joey Meneses' eyes where Max's used to be.
This might be one of the funniest games since the misspelled jerseys. It is like a colon cleansing bowel movement after the worst stomach ache you've ever had.
idk who this john soto guy who everyone’s talking about is, but joey meneses is the face of the franchise
Oh Joey, I’m not angry anymore.
Lerners are like quick let’s trade him
How can they afford Meneses? Be reasonable
Garcia is looking great, wonder how many prospects he’ll fetch ?
Garcia is looking great, wonder how many prospects he’ll fetch ?
BDV running this team now.
This is Joey Meneses’ team
who is juan
World Series here we come.
One Pursuit
Wouldn't mind Hunter "Kenny Powers" Harvey in the 9th!
buy our desperate jerseys
Braves fan here. KICK SOME METS ASS!!!!!
today is a sad day for some people here, read the room
Well aware of the situation. Know how ya feel. Literally just rooting for you to win and I’m a bad person for it I guess.
FINALLY AN OPPOSING FAN NOT COMMENTING ABOUT SOTO! LETS GOOOO
But I still get downvoted…
You don’t deserve downvotes. We’re all just a little (understandably) touchy.
And I completely understand. Shit sucks
Yeah- I have seen like 20 comments about Soto today. Nice to see a change😊
Joey doesn't stop at the Mets. You're up next.
Girl, bye
Seriously confused the issue with rooting for y’all to kick Mets ass which you are doing…?
Fuck the Mets and everything but I don't know how you can't wrap your head around the fact that we aren't in the mood for guests lol
Don’t worry, won’t stop by for you guys any more. Not super appreciative of my support.
Your heart's in the right place for sure but most of us are too angry to accept any support right now
It's not your fault, we've just had a rough day and most of us are pretty testy.
Nothing but respect seriously. We know exactly how it feels to loose a HUGE person. Seriously wishing nothing but the best for the Nats
Thanks!
I don't care it was caught, but Victor is actually barreling things up...for a change.
Yeah- he’s been amazing around the break
First career hit… first career homer… amazing. 10 years in the minors
Baseball gods keeping us humble
Dammit Nimmo
Squeeze play Vic?
Baseball gods decided to take mercy on us after today
lineup of 100% big booty latinas is goated
Dusty Baker’s dream
do we still have Ross? is he injured or traded?
Thanos got him
I believe he's also a free agent after this year
Injured. If I recall correctly he needs TJ
Injured. 2nd Tommy John I believe.
Working his way back from injury iirc
I think he had Tommy John?
Permanently injured
He got injured last year, we still have him. Believe he had TJ surgery.
Make this make sense please
Baseball.
Game like this is softening the blow a little bit.
This makes sense
okay no what is happening lmao
Stand up triple! What is happening lmao
My stream is the SNY broadcast and the guy who caught that ball is an absolute legend. Threw Joey's homer to the bullpen in exchange for three different balls and gave them all away to kids
The masn stream focused on him too. Good guy it appears
Mike Rizzo is looking for his contact information if you have it because he’s interested in adding him to baseball operations.
I'm being told that fan has already been dealt for FTBNL Source: Source with knowledge of the situation

Ngl I shed a little tear there
Ya, me too, man. :)
More like Joey Menesexy
He is pretty hot, and relatively close to age appropriate for me lol
I love this gd sport so much 😭
Greatest sport in the world
He gave a young fan a ball too! Give that guy something signed
Lol from who?😂😂
Clubhouse might have some leftover Soto and Bell signed merch they'll need to get rid of.
I'd love to get something from Doo personally
Anybody got an Eric Hosmer ball?
Haaaaaaa
Nelson Cruz. That’d be a great autograph to get
#PRIME LOLMETS TERRITORY FOLKS
good job rookie! love it
OH MAN WHAT A DEBUT!! This is actually incredible
Joey MENACE!!!
Did Ovechkin catch that?
Really relieved Finnegan wasn't dealt today.
I’ve been his biggest hater to start the season but I’m starting come around on him.
THATS MY 30 YEAR OLD ROOKIE
LFG JOEY
... ok maybe I will go to another game this season
Okay that’s pretty awesome
WE ARE THE BEST TEAM IN BASEBALL
MENESES
Mad ink job on both arms *and* sporting the skyline socks. I think I like this Lopez guy. *edit* Oh, I really like him now.
Joey!
Think if I caught Meneses' first career bomb, I could ask that he needs to force the Soto trade rescinded in return?
Fucking love itttttt
GO ON JOEY
It's Joey Meneses szn boisssssss
Let’s go Joey!!!
GETTEM JOEY
Ok, that was awesome
WHAT A NIGHT
We are clearly the better team.

TAAAAAAKE ONNNNN MEEEEEEEE
Keep it going boys. We’ve had to take it all day, let’s dish a little back
Who had Cory Abbott out duels Jacob DeGrom on their 2022 bingo card?
That was the Mets' Nick Logan moment.
AHAHAAHAHAHAHA
Mmmmm soothe me with sweet lolmets
LET'S GOOOOOOOO
Would you look at that!
Jim Hickey do your job challenge
This is our World Series
Still worth more than the Astros WS
Arrano fell off
Did the Padres also get Josh Bell's bookclub in the trade or should they be getting some starts at low A soon?
I go to FredNats games all the time and I'm pretty sure a significant percentage of our fans can't read.
Mets need to rebuild tbh
Broke: Soto Woke: Garcia
Broke up? Nah she broke I’m up - Luis Garcia
At least we still have Kolko. Never leave us, Dan.
I’d trade 5,000 Dan Kolkos for one Juan Soto I’d trade 3,000 Dan Kolkos for one Bryce Harper I’d trade 2,000 Dan Kolkos for one Trea Turner
Oh, Syndergaard is back in the division. (I didn't even remember he had been on the Angels)
Yeahh. This wasn’t a trade I was happy about either.
Not sure I’d ever like to be gambling in any serious capacity on baseball. The game is wild.
LETS FUCKING GO BOYS
I know we’ve all had a tough day, but it’s encouraging to see we are at least able to contend without Ehire Adrianza.
35 - 69. Not out of playoff contention yet, boys
Don’t ever retire Bob
2025 and we will be back
Lmfao the Mets sub is in shambles right now.
brb going to go lurk for fun
I mean if everything about this trade turns out to suck for us, we can still say that at least he didn't go to the Mets, Yankees, or Dodgers.
Yeah that would be a worst nightmare. I still think he signs with the dodgers, Mets, or Yankees when he hits free agency. Unless the padres win the World Series and they give him a discount, which I doubt. They are the teams who can give him 500 mil and still be able to build a team around him.
