Almost time to start up the Fire Mattingly thread

Damn if feels good to see Springer having a good game Offensively

Omfg where are the bats

What's our record in the division now? Must be atrocious

And what's their SP budget?

Proven cheaters now Enough wkrh warnings just toss them

Vladdy DH Good. Good.

f*** the Orioles That is all

He's cooked

Looked up Oakland A's middle IF depth charts in search of a trade Almost puked when realized they're all actually worse than what we already have

Espinal is by far the most egregious of course. He's there mostly for the defense and he hasn't even provided that while hitting .171/.237/.229 He was expected to get plenty of playing time but he's somehow dropped himself from All Star to AAA option/DFA candidate

This year, Chapman Bo and Vladdy carried the team for 6 weeks to start Need to spread it around more cause Chapman has cooled off and our 25M leadoff hitter continues to get on base less than 30% of the time FTR I think Springer will be fine at some point but hopefully sooner than later cause it's killing us

It's weird In the off season I felt really good about a bench of Merrifield/Espinal/Kirk/Biggio Now not so much..... Merrifield has shown himself able as an everyday player and Espinal/Biggo have done worse than nothing

Freddie Freeman career HR #300

A little over 1/4 of the way through the season It's down

Didn't know they were up against a deadline with him Interesting year in Mets land

Yes. Both AA/Beeston and Atkins/Shapiro clearly subscribed to this philosophy I'd be fine with a steady stream of pitchers, catchers and middle infielders that flourish in the organization Corner outfielders can be made/traded for

Can't find that anywhere yet Just speculation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mets To Select Gary Sanchez By Anthony Franco | May 18, 2023 at 11:59pm CDT The Mets are selecting the contract of veteran catcher Gary Sánchez, reports Andy Martino of SNY (Twitter link). He’s expected to be formally added to the roster before tomorrow’s game against the Guardians. The Mets will need to create a spot on the 40-man roster before the contest. Sánchez signed a minor league deal with the Mets a little over a week ago. It was his second non-roster pact of the season. He’d initially signed with the Giants shortly after Opening Day but never got a big league look thanks to significant struggles with their top affiliate in Sacramento. He opted out and caught on with New York thereafter. The two-time All-Star’s deal with the Mets allowed him to opt out if he wasn’t added to the MLB roster by tomorrow. He’s fortunately gotten out to a much better start for their Triple-A club in Syracuse than he had with Sacramento. He mashed at a .318/.531/.545 clip with a homer, two doubles, eight walks and nine strikeouts in seven games there. His overall Triple-A batting line for the season is a modest .208/.386/.286 thanks to the tough first month, but he’s clearly acquitted himself nicely in his brief time with his new organization. With the opt-out date looming, reports earlier in the week suggested the Mets were strongly considering calling Sánchez up. Now that they’ve done so, he’ll be guaranteed a prorated $1.5MM salary (roughly $1.1MM through season’s end). Even with the Mets paying a 110% tax on that figure, bringing their total expenditure to around $2.31MM, that’s a reasonable sum for a capable #2 catcher. Sánchez isn’t going to supplant highly-regarded rookie Francisco Álvarez as the starter. He’ll add an experienced depth option to the bench, offering some extra right-handed power for skipper Buck Showalter

Definitely It's been awhile
