Jolot Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 To think that just a few months ago being down 3-0 early was game over for the Mets. amazing right? this is some run we are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here... thought to myself we were due an off game. Turned the game off and when I come back 2 hours later, they're only in the 6th and then Murphy with the bomb. Could be a very special season. Thanks for crying Wilmer.... that set this whole thing in motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeShelter Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Flores is becoming a player. When you look at what he and Cespedes have done, all I can say is.thank our lucky stars that the Carlos Gomez deal went bad at the last minute. I don't know where the Mets would be if they HAD made that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where the Mets would be if they HAD made that deal. Gomez has sucked since that deal fell through too. What a way for the team to welcome Wright back to the lineup. Took their cue from him and away they went. This team is just ever out of a game. Mets have gone from the worst offensive team in baseball to the best since the Cespedes trade. I'm sure a lot of that has to do with the cupcake schedule we've had, but to be fair it swings both ways and I'm sure the tough schedule we had for the first half played some sort of role too. Either way this is just one ******* hell of a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where the Mets would be if they HAD made that deal. Watching Flores I am amazed by how effortless his swing is. The ball jumps off his bat. Doesn't take crazy swings like Uribe and Cespedes.... he has great balance at the plate. Absolutely amazed at his transformation. Milwaukee might regret not throwing in a little money to get Flores and Wheeler. Definitely a better package than Houston gave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I heard for years and years how he was one of the Mets top rated prospect. I just didn't see it translate in his first several stints. The kid id pretty resilient when all is said and done, and he reacts well in pressure spots (crying aside). The little flick that he does on outside pitches to go to right field is a thing of beauty. As I heard on the broadcast the other day, he has responded with rest., It seems he was just tired starting all of those games. That said, the majority of the players have responded very well to being plugged in and out. Give Collins credit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I wonder if it is possible, if the Mets indicate interest in him, that he eliminates the 5 day verbiage That window was in there for a reason, the guy took a big gamble on himself and it looks like it's going to pay off. It will be interesting to see if this experience changes his view at all, because there's something to be said for enjoying your career rather than winding up like Jose Reyes. If I'm the Mets I'm selling him on stability with a no-trade clause and the Cuban population in NY. He has to love playing here. And I'm also encouraging Wright to drop some subtle hints about Reyes on what can happen if you only chase the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that clause was put in to pressure whatever team was the team holding him to either a) Bring him a deal he considers worthy and tie him up before free agency or b). Allow him to enter into FA unfettered. He can conceivably strike that provision if he would like the Mets to bid against his FA suitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Steve Gelbs 2 mins · The New York Mets offensive turnaround since the initial trade for Kelly Johnson & Juan Uribe has been nothing short of staggering. In the first 97 games of the season, the team averaged 3.4 runs per game and hit 77 home runs. In the 27 games since, the Mets have averaged 6.1 runs per game and they have hit 50 home runs. ... They have also gone from one game over .500 to 12 games over .500 in that time. Simply remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he does for our lineup is going to be sooooo hard to replace. The pitches Murphy and whoever plays clean up gets to see is night and day when the 3 spot was revolving door of sh*t.

Jetsfan80 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 What kind of contract would Cespedes be looking at? He turns 30 in October. It'd be so sweet having him the next 2 years or so. After that it gets scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 This was already brought up earlier, but still felt like adding this: Since the deadline deals: Carlos Gomez: .188/.226/.250 Yoenis Cespedes: .307/.344/.545 Wilmer Flores: .328/.368/.516 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Cespedes will likely get or look for 5-7 years at 18-20 mill. I just don't see Wilpon even considering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32EBoozer Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I like Cespedes but don't see Sandy/Wilpon pulling the trigger on a $160 - $180 mil contract (especially when he doesn't run out ground balls) Wright will have to be what Cespedes is for us... the big bat. Wright still has 6 yrs. on his contract. Grandy(Lagares), Flores, Wright, Duda, d'Arnaud, Conforto, Cuddyer, Tejada... your 2016 NY Mets lineup!! What do you do with Herreira, Flores and Tejada? Does 1 get dealt for a bat next year? I'll miss Murphy (he's earned a few Million$ extra over these last 3 weeks) Just going to enjoy this season and trust Sandy to build this roster into a dynamo.

Who gives a **** about running out a ground ball, the guy hit another space bomb last night!!! What he's doing for this line up insnt replaceable by just any old bat. What Murphy has been doing over the last month has a a direct relation to Cespedes place in the line up. Wright isnt Cespedes, never was and certainly wont be moving forward, not with his age and injury history. I know it's unlikely but damn! I want this dude for next couple of years. The Mets have something that could last right now and he's a crucial piece to what has happened to this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
