Lith Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I will always have fond memories of that one time that Lowrie reached base in his Mets career. 0-7 and a walk in 9 appearances. For $20MM over two seasons. What a waste of a signing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it really is about Covid, then how about making a phone call to the team before the game? Sounds like you may be right -- at least according to this article in the Post https://nypost.com/2020/08/02/yoenis-cespedes-opts-out-over-mets-anger-not-coronavirus/?utm_campaign=iphone_nyp&utm_source=twitter_app Quote Yoenis Cespedes was frustrated with Mets before opting out By Mike Puma and Joel ShermanAugust 2, 2020 | 6:22pm | Updated Yoenis Cespedes walked. Is it because money talks? The Mets announced Sunday afternoon that Cespedes opted out of this season over concerns about COVID-19, and a friend backed up that version. But multiple sources confirmed that twice in the first nine games of the season, Cespedes confronted Mets officials concerned about playing time and that he would be kept out of lineups to prevent him from reaching lucrative performance bonuses. One of those came Saturday, when Cespedes first talked to Luis Rojas and then Brodie Van Wagenen about his playing status and bonuses. Then Cespedes knew before the buses left for Truist Park on Sunday he was not in the starting lineup and he never showed for the game against the Braves, triggering a bizarre day even for the Mets. ... Cespedes did not start for the first time in the fourth game of the season in Boston. Cespedes confronted Rojas, asking why he was not playing and if it had to do with his bonus provisions, sources said. Rojas told Cespedes he was unaware of the bonus provisions and explained to the player that the off day at Fenway Park was because the team had arrived at 3:30 a.m. after a long bus ride following a Sunday night game. On Saturday, Cespedes talked first to Rojas and then to Van Wagenen again about his playing status and if it was being impacted by the bonus provisions. Both Mets officials attempted to reassure Cespedes that was not the case. Still, with Cespedes 2-for-15 with nine strikeouts in his past four games, the decision was reached to put Cespedes on the bench again Sunday. And then he was a no-show — it turns out for the rest of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is crazy.....some of the numbers for Jake over the last 2+ seasons are incredible. He is the modern day Tom Seaver as far as run support goes. You want to have some fun? Look at Seaver's years from 69-71, especially 71. He was 20-10, with an ERA almost a full run lower than 69, when he won 25 games. I can remember many of his starts that year, when if he gave up one run, he had a good chance to lose or, at best, a no decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 The oddities of modern era Baseball.... The four backup LF's to Juan Soto so far this year (Stevenson, Taylor, Harrison & Bonafacio) are a combined 3 for 29 (.103 batting average). All three of their hits......Home Runs. /smh All of them are fast guys, the kind of guys who should be legging out infield hits and slap hitting for singles then stealing bases, advancing, etc. Nope, all of them swing for the fences with every at-bat. There are days where I truly think modern baseball is just rediculous, where even 5'4" infielders think they're supposed to be Babe Ruth, and somehow the metrics justify that instead of old school small ball hit-for-average-get-on-base baseball. /endoldmanrant Good luck tonight, hoping Scherzer can hold yall down and get us into the winning season record side of the ledger finally.

RutgersJetFan Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Silver lining is Gimenez. Holy cow is that kid for real. I am an Amed fan but they are going to have to move him elsewhere because Giminez is a whiz with his glove. Clearly their best infielder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's the beauty of the game: It is always adapting. Pitchers are already starting to get smarter about how they handle the new launch angles that hitters are using. Throw pitches up in the zone (or higher, out of the zone) more consistently. Throw more breaking balls and less sinkers. Keep the ball in the park and force more pop-ups. Eventually things will shift back toward a more palatable form of baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 That was a really crisp, clean well played game. Great efficient pitching from both Porcello and Lugo. Really refreshing to see a starting pitcher who is not approaching 100 pitches in the 5th inning. Defense was really solid as well, both Guillorme and Gimenez really improved the defense up the middle. Never thought we had a chance tonight the way Porcello had been pitching. Hopefully this is the start of something for him and not a fluke. Would like to see them do a bit better than 2-11 with RISP, but I guess you can't have everything.

Amazing how a well played defensive game can make a team look so much better. As Rutgers pointed out above, Gimenez has been a revelation. He acts like he belongs. As bad as Guillorme is offensively, he plays pretty slick defense. I believe my baseball IQ has actually decreased, having to watch with DH rules.
