Game 140/162 #Mets lose Record: 75-65 Series Record: 2-1 (win!) Game's biggest moment: Helsley warms up Player of the game: Alonso Biggest takeaway: Think that was Helsley's last chance in a late & close game. Offense did well, 8 hits & 5 walks, but 2-9 w/ RISP. Clay couldn't go 5. #LGM #LGM #LGM
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Helsley is cooked. You can't use him anymore. They gave him a ton of chances. Mop up duty here on out and not making the post-season roster given the other options & days off built in.
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent
he unfortunately has my guy's number -- let's see if he can get back in this, though

Game 139/162 #Mets win! Record: 75-64 Series Record: 2-0 (win!) Game's biggest moment: Torrens 3R HR Player of the game: Torrens Biggest takeaway: McLean once again looked the part. Encouraging to see him face some trouble and work out of it. Soto now has a wRC+ of 155 (2nd in NL). #LGM #LGM #LGM
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent
Oof -- somehow worse. Hopefully they can hold on.

Reds trailing 8-2 in the 2nd π
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Shit, Hef got to McLean
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent
Right, definitely injuries playing a role. Also Clay who is past his normal innings and some adjustment for opposing scouting realizing they shouldn't chase when playing the Mets. Just a crazy flip of the switch.
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent
It is absolutely insane how we went from having the number 1 team ERA and an offense who shit themselves when trying to hit with RISP to a pitching staff that throws meatballs and a lineup of Barry Bonds.
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent
let Manaea have surgery
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Is there something that would indicate the pitching should get better for the Mets that I'm missing? I think there will be some regression to the mean (in a good way) but not in a way that sees us through a playoff round. Unless someone that's deeper in the analytics sees different?
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Game 138/162 #Mets win! Record: 74-64 Series Record: 1-0 Game's biggest moment: Soto 3B Player of the game: Soto Biggest takeaway: Thank GOD we have Soto. This pitching staff is hot garbage. Needing to score 10 runs to eke out a win is not great. #LGM #LGM #LGM
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Oof
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent
Simons has to play 10 since we have no other CAM. Johnson has not worked at LW, Tel has been poor in his minutes. Agree on Odobert but feel he's more a rotational option rather than a PL starting XI quality LW
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
No LW, no cover for VdV when his has his injured hammy spell, no depth at CAM. Unserious football club whose front office deserve the upcoming results this year. #COYS
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
10m for Gil deserves a round of applause
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Unbelievable if this is it for incomings. This club never learns. Relying on Richarlison to play 2 games / week is insanity.
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent
Perfect customer
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent
Very well said. I think they'll keep him given his team friendly number, but he has to be viewed as a 5th or 6th guy when constructing your rotation. If you get a good year, amazing. If he sucks, you're covered. Cannot count on him to be a middle rotation guy.
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Game 137/162 #Mets lose Record: 73-64 Series Record: 1-3 (loss) Game's biggest moment: Ramirez 2R HR Player of the game: McNeil Biggest takeaway: Senga has been a negative WAR player since returning. Once again SP dooms the Mets. Awful with RISP again. Just can't capitalize this yr #LGM #LGM #LGM
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Arsenal lose? What a shame.
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Ced is 4-6 with 2 homers off Sandy. Hoping we see a big game from him, otherwise we'll need a hook for Taylor before the 6th.
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent
It really was. I am glad they faught back from 6 down even if they did end up losing. Disappointed that our 2 best relievers are the ones that gave up runs and all the other guys held serve. Onto tomorrow!
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Game 136/162 #Mets lose Record: 73-63 Series Record: 1-2 Game's biggest moment: Marte K Player of the game: Soto Biggest takeaway: Peterson was atrocious, Soto tried as hard as he could to bring us back. Diaz killed any chance of a(nother) comeback in the game. #LGM #LGM #LGM
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Juan Soto plays for the Mets. The end.
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Mets defensive play has been just awful this entire series.

Game 135/162 #Mets win! Record: 73-62 Series Record: 1-1 Game's biggest moment: Nimmo 3R HR Player of the game: Nimmo Biggest takeaway: Nimmo broke it open early. B2B 5+ run innings to start. 1 sloppy inning almost cost Tong his win (plus Gare's jinx). Things got silly at the end. #LGM #LGM #LGM
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent
No I meant Mendy getting one for getting Helsleys inning over with early lol
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent
Honestly its the best case he has for asking Stearns and co for an extension.
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent
Mendy wanted to get it over with early lol
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
lmao Lindor & Alonso make that play for Helsley, but for Tong they play with cement gloves. OK, pals.

If the plan is to score 5 runs every inning for the rest of the season, I really like our chances of winning a World Series.
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
You were looking for an acknowledgement that last night was unacceptable. 5 runs before an out is recorded. Yeah, that'll play. #LGM #LGM #LGM

Game 134/162 #Mets lose Record: 72-62 Series Record: 0-1 Game's biggest moment: Clay drops it at 1st Player of the game: Lindor Biggest takeaway: Clutch HR by Pete, but this game was all about sloppy defense. Offense not enough to make up for it. Tong tomorrow. Shake it off. #LGM #LGM #LGM
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social) reply parent

I am very surprised the Mets have stuck with Stanek despite all the evidence pointing to him not being a capable reliever right now. They don't have time to wait for him to figure it out.

Brandon's post game is proof of Lindor's leadership. Lindor ALWAYS compliments the guys who got on base ahead of him to allow him to be a hero. Brandon just did the same. Side note: Baty has to be absolutely buzzing to get that kind of shoutout / vote of confidence from Nimmo! #LGM #LGM #LGM
Nick (@nickfromjersey.bsky.social)
Game 132/162 #Mets win! Record: 71-61 Series Record: 2-0 (win!) Game's biggest moment: Diaz comes in Player of the game: Alonso Biggest takeaway: Duran you found Nimmo! Alonso 4 hit game. Diaz bails out Helsley. What a fun game, some times you just gotta be in the moment. So fun. #LGM #LGM #LGM

Game 131/162 #Mets win Record: 70-61 Series Record: 1-0 Game's biggest moment: Entire 2 out rally in the 4th. Player of the game: Torrens Biggest takeaway: Bullpen was amazing (even Helsley!). Vientos is back. 11-19 w/ RISP. Bohm the unsung hero for mic removal. Get Tong to Queens. #LGM #LGM #LGM

Big thank you to Bohm for fixing the mic thing in the outfield so we could score.

The only Met in the starting lineup without a hit? Lindor. Go figure. Usually he's the engine on any night we score in bunches. #LGM #LGM #LGM
