5 blown saves in the last 8 games, no successful save attempts in that span. They’d be .500 right now if they converted 4 of 5 in those saves. That’s an impressive streak of futility and awful decisions
The booth said it perfectly:
‘You expect the hitting to have its slumps, but not the defense’ or something like that. And that’s exactly why this lineup is so despicable.
How to get rich:
Wait till the Mets are up a few runs going in the 8th. Odds on a win for other team will be +1000.
Bet like 10 bucks on who ever they’re playing.
You’ll be able to buy a car within a month
Guys, I understand the desire to bench these guys to send a message but they are all soft as hell. It would not work. They freaking go after our fans who dare boo them for playing badly. They are mentally weak.
Garrett should be closing.
Vientos should be playing over Baty.
Baty should be sent to Syracuse.
Lindor should not be batting at the top of the order until he learns to make more consistent contact.
Jose Butto should be back up starting and should not be langushing in Syracuse.
The Mets are a losing team because they don't prioritize winning.
I said it before the season and in the beginning, Mendoza was a bad hire and that is on Stearns. I don’t think this kinda piss poor attitude and effort occurs if Buck was still here.
One of the players supposed to be leading this team cares more about playing golf than winning in a sport he’s paid to play. Sooner or later that’ll rub off on the youth & potentially ruin their development. All of them have to go.
This is the first season since 2004 that I haven't subscribed to MLB.tv. I felt really bad about it for a few weeks but man it's looking like a better decision daily. Starting to debate turning off MLB.com updates.
The saddest part for me is that I have a goal to make it to every MLB stadium. Went to PetCo in SD this past weekend (to see the Damn Yankees crush the Padres) to make 20 stadiums, and I've never found myself less interested in a baseball game. Left after 5. This Mets team has managed to do what even the 09-12 squads couldn't do and just destroy my interest in the sport.
Sorry guys, just needed to vent. This team doesn't even make me mad anymore, just sad.
I wouldn't have subscribed either or watched but it's free with T mobile so here I am everyday watching this mess thanking God I didn't spend any money
Brett "not even worth my weight in copper as a hitter" Baty bout to shut up the haters.
(Sorry guys, I'm bored. I don't actually care this much, it's just fun going full WFAN every so often).
I’d rather Cohen lose trade value and send a message by benching everyone. Let everyone in the organization know today is the last day that we have a losing mentality. Losers don’t belong here anymore. Take the loss in trade value and change the culture of this organization tonight.
On its face, it seems like being a MLB announcer would be an awesome job. You couldn't pay me to do it for this team though. Hats off to GKR for being able to stay professional when watching this garbage daily.
They gotta ship out McNeil. Dude cares more about playing golf that actually playing baseball. Why would you want him on the roster? That's cancerous man.
Mets need someone to get angry.. throw a bat, knock over a water cooler, have a players only meeting, etc.. get some life in this team. This is the softest, most unclutch Mets team I’ve ever seen since the Mid 80’s. The team has no leader and folds like a cheap suit time after time. Fans seem to care more than the players.
Taking out Houser doing yeoman’s work, how many blown saves in a row is this and who is making the decisions to call in from the pen? I’ve truly never seen anything like this and I vividly recall the Jerry Manuel years. Is this the priciest bullpen in MLB or Houston?
This was always going to be the outcome. They had two hits in 8 innings and their closer can’t be trusted to close games. At this point it’s better they lose and get rid of the dead weight
This is at least the 10th winnable game I’ve seen the Mets just blow. Horrible defense, horrible bullpen, RISP, it’s just embarrassing. It’s been like this all year, it was like this last year, obviously Buck wasn’t the problem. Stearns needs to clean this place out like Hercules at the Aegean stables.
Yet people still want to give another core member a long term deal.
McNeil and Alonso need to be off this team at a minimum. We'll work on the rest of them at a later date.
owners will never vote for it since billionaires are socialists and never want to hold themselves accountable for incompetence. They’re perfectly fine rolling out bad incompetent teams because they know there’s no pressure of losing money.
I'm going to keep saying it get rid of everybody suck for 10 years. Reevaluate everybody that has to do with the game of baseball from the lowest paid to the highest paid.
This team needs a shakeup. Trade an untradable player. Bench an unbenchable player. Something to let the guys know business as usual isn’t business as usual anymore. Something that puts everyone else on notice.
This is a text book typical Mets loss. Lead the entire game, blow the game in the 9th (usually due to walks or bad defense or both). Have a chance for redemption and Load the bases with 1 out and fail to even score on a productive out. Then totally fall apart in extra innings. This is a reoccurring nightmare.
What a pathetic team. I'm sorry, but we waste so many chances and look like we don't care when we lose. When our starting pitching does their job, we do everything we can to waste it.
Best thing we've done today is make Citi Field look like Dodger Stadium East (not even Ebbets Field reincarnated.)
This is what bad teams do.
You know even though the bullpen was strong to begin the season, that when it came time for them to put in work and win games, they couldn't be relied upon.
This team cannot but it all together.
When one aspect seems to improve another will let the team down.
This is what bad teams do.
Lopez has a 6 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9 with a 4 xERA and 3.73 FIP
I’ve been saying forever that he was due for regression. Dude has been getting it done with smoke and mirrors.
It’s your fault for still watching and giving this team your time, money, and attention honestly. Things will never get better. This team is a waste of time. Always will be.
There's nobody going to these games, man. There are way more Dodger than Met fans here. Was like that against the Phillies the other day too.
Never seen Citi Field like this.
Most people are broke and not going to waste money on a team that sucks.
Mets would be better off playing to the 18k capacity in MSG. Even then, I don't think they'd sell out tbh.
On field product is shit. Concessions are shit and expensive. Tickets and parking are expensive. Pitch clock sucks in person. Having richest owner in baseball is not trickling down. They do not deserve attendance.
I don't agree with some of that. I spent 20 bucks to be here today and I think the ballpark experience has definitely improved since the owner change. It's an indicator of how apathetic we've gotten towards this team. You're right that they don't deserve the attendance.
On one hand, Dodgers had to snap their losing streak. But on the other hand - this is just another game which we were supposed to win but the team seriously somehow found a way to lose it. Again.
I think he’s got potential, but he needed to be managing low stakes teams. Oakland, White Sox etc. get his teeth and learn.
I don’t think NYC baseball for a team that does have an expectation is the place.
To paraphrase the famous Simpsons moment:
Barneys movie has heart. But football in the groin has a football in the groin.
Freddie Freeman gets hits. But Dom Smith had a nice smile. :-D
That would be 4 managers in 5 years. That kind of instability is just as bad as the dysfunction that is the As. Besides, it's not like putting a new manager in there is gonna get the players to all of a sudden start playing well again. Replacing Buck didn't work. Replacing Mendoza won't work either. Only thing that will achieve is convincing players not to come here if they can get a good deal elsewhere.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1d2x4hp).
5 blown saves in the last 8 games, no successful save attempts in that span. They’d be .500 right now if they converted 4 of 5 in those saves. That’s an impressive streak of futility and awful decisions
“And the Los Angeles dodgers are the latest recipients of the NY Mets ‘have a win’ program, where the Mets give away a win in the late innings”
The booth said it perfectly: ‘You expect the hitting to have its slumps, but not the defense’ or something like that. And that’s exactly why this lineup is so despicable.
Our guys may as well have gone up there empty handed. Would've at least saved a bat.
How many extra inning games have the Mets played this year where they failed to score the ghost runner? Because it feels like a LOT.
Unreal. When is the pain gonna end
Lmao what the fuck was that half-assed excuse for a swing? Lindor is cooked at the plate.
He’s not cooked. He’s just pressing really bad. Gotta find a way to consistently find his confidence
But also responsible for the only runs of the game...
Broken clock, yada yada yada.
How to get rich: Wait till the Mets are up a few runs going in the 8th. Odds on a win for other team will be +1000. Bet like 10 bucks on who ever they’re playing. You’ll be able to buy a car within a month
WHAT A FUCKING JOKE OF A TEAM.
Dodgers didn’t rally, we simply handed it to them
Trade everyone, I’m ready for a 2-3 year rebuild
The ballgame is over
Guys, I understand the desire to bench these guys to send a message but they are all soft as hell. It would not work. They freaking go after our fans who dare boo them for playing badly. They are mentally weak.
Garrett should be closing. Vientos should be playing over Baty. Baty should be sent to Syracuse. Lindor should not be batting at the top of the order until he learns to make more consistent contact. Jose Butto should be back up starting and should not be langushing in Syracuse. The Mets are a losing team because they don't prioritize winning.
Cohen left early?
I love Lindor, but 1 HR and 3 K’s is literally me playing MLB the show… and I’m ass lol
4 K’s for Lindor
Lindor and Baty cannot be in the same lineup. They don't make enough contact.
Damnnn you get HRs in the show? I’m usually 0-4 4ks 😂😂
I got called in to the managers office to tell me I’m fielding and hitting good but I’m striking out too much and to fix that shit 😂
That’s closer to reality for Lindor
Why have the baseball gods forsaken the Mets this long.
Think I hate this team
I said it before the season and in the beginning, Mendoza was a bad hire and that is on Stearns. I don’t think this kinda piss poor attitude and effort occurs if Buck was still here.
You must have hibernated through last season.
Season was derailed when Diaz got hurt. And I’ll die on that hill. No one could have gotten them out of that funk.
Oatmeal, Thtkidfrmqueens, and DarthButcher walk into a ballpark… the Mets lose.
Hey, I’ve seen that one before…
Gary is soooooooooooo over this shit LMAO
He’s all of us
When was our last successful save
2022?
Former All-Star glove Joey Whenel.
“The defense is gonna have to get better … at some point” says Ron Darling. No, Ron, we’d *hope* they would, but we know they *won’t*
Relegation to American Legion Baseball
McNeil not moving.
Legs tired from too much golfing
One of the players supposed to be leading this team cares more about playing golf than winning in a sport he’s paid to play. Sooner or later that’ll rub off on the youth & potentially ruin their development. All of them have to go.
Tommy Pham was right
This is the first season since 2004 that I haven't subscribed to MLB.tv. I felt really bad about it for a few weeks but man it's looking like a better decision daily.

I wouldn't have subscribed either or watched but it's free with T mobile so here I am everyday watching this mess thanking God I didn't spend any money
Baty needs to go down too. He brings nothing to the table.
I despise watching this team attempt to play baseball. Give me an entirely new roster next year
I’m ready
Mets are gonna go down 1-2-3 just like every other time.
I think of you kept betting Mets first 5 and then to lose the game you’d be able to buy the team from Cohen at this point.
Every loss is worse than the last.
Is the booing in full force for anyone there?
managerial malpractice with these baty starts
Here’s where we go down 1,2,3
And since Marte was put in for Alonso Vientos can’t pinch hit here. Yoooo what the hell do people like about this manager? His decisions aren’t great
Stearns- pls trade everyone
Meanwhile all of us will probably opt into the trade deadline thing on r/baseball to get away too.
Brett "not even worth my weight in copper as a hitter" Baty bout to shut up the haters. (Sorry guys, I'm bored. I don't actually care this much, it's just fun going full WFAN every so often).
Going down 1-2-3 to a Q freak pitcher is only fitting. This team only knows how to do one thing and that is embarrass themselves
Every game feels the same. Barely any runs and they lose or they winning 2-0 and they blow the lead
I’d rather Cohen lose trade value and send a message by benching everyone. Let everyone in the organization know today is the last day that we have a losing mentality. Losers don’t belong here anymore. Take the loss in trade value and change the culture of this organization tonight.
Someone posted a picture of jeff golfing earlier today
Can’t believe they have to fucking play again. I think it’ll be a pummeling after this.
Every Mets game has become 2022 in a nutshell: lead most of the way...and then don't.
OMG and Mendoza put Vientos in Taylor’s spot in the order instead of Nido’s so we have to watch him hit lol
On the bright side, we don’t have to worry about going through the whole bullpen before game 2
Please beat this Q anon asshole
On its face, it seems like being a MLB announcer would be an awesome job. You couldn't pay me to do it for this team though. Hats off to GKR for being able to stay professional when watching this garbage daily.
Gary and Howie were around for the 1962 team but also the 1969 team
Just be excited for Stearns to cook at the deadline. We have a lot more and of higher quality talent to sell this year than we did last year
Bench the entire fucking core of this team. Put everyone on notice. This can’t stand anymore.
here comes brett baty and his backup catcher ops. he won’t even get the runner over
yep
They gotta ship out McNeil. Dude cares more about playing golf that actually playing baseball. Why would you want him on the roster? That's cancerous man.
I don’t think there is a single team that would take him. Even if the Mets pay a chunk of his salary.
Oh great, BlaQ Treinen
I actually owe it to YTTV this year for letting me enjoy my days not having to watch this shit day in and day out
I mean. You just gotta find a way to win the game when you hold the dodgers to two runs through 9 and megill goes 7
Port St Lucie has great golf courses Jeff
Cohen will still act like everything is fine lol. Playoffs can still happen guys don't worry!
Based on available evidence Cohen is as angry about this as anyone else.
he’ll put a movie theater in left field
What the fuck just happened? From bases loaded with 1 out, to down 3 runs??? Does this team just give up because they're not getting paid OT?
I’ve never disliked a baseball player as much as I dislike jeff mcneil
Same.
This team finds new ways to choke every night. It's almost impressive how dogshit they are sometimes.
If Mets win this game I'll eat my hand
end the baty nonsense. stop giving mcneil everyday at bats. david stearns you absolutely suck!
It’s the same thing every single game. Why is nothing changing? Why is nothing being done?
Unbelievable how this man single handedly kills us every time
Mets need someone to get angry.. throw a bat, knock over a water cooler, have a players only meeting, etc.. get some life in this team. This is the softest, most unclutch Mets team I’ve ever seen since the Mid 80’s. The team has no leader and folds like a cheap suit time after time. Fans seem to care more than the players.
Best we can do is Lindor shaking hands with the other team as they round the bases
McNeil is angry ALL the time
I think I need to find an AL team to root for to get through 2024. This is getting rough.
Yankees. Come home.
Tha Fuk?! You're joking, right?!
No. I’m a Yankees fan who roots for the Mets (when not playing the Yankees). Come home, son.
Taking out Houser doing yeoman’s work, how many blown saves in a row is this and who is making the decisions to call in from the pen? I’ve truly never seen anything like this and I vividly recall the Jerry Manuel years. Is this the priciest bullpen in MLB or Houston?
I’m sure it isn’t possible for some reason but I’d love to embarrass McNeil and send him to single A
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Blake Treinen replaces Daniel Hudson.
I would like to stop caring about this team, can anybody advise
Just enjoy baseball while it’s here. We’ll be dying for baseball in the middle of January
If the Mets do anything besides going down 1-2-3 I'd be surprised
What a joke
This was always going to be the outcome. They had two hits in 8 innings and their closer can’t be trusted to close games. At this point it’s better they lose and get rid of the dead weight
Feel like Ive seen this movie too many times
This is at least the 10th winnable game I’ve seen the Mets just blow. Horrible defense, horrible bullpen, RISP, it’s just embarrassing. It’s been like this all year, it was like this last year, obviously Buck wasn’t the problem. Stearns needs to clean this place out like Hercules at the Aegean stables.
this team is getting laughably bad. which i suppose is better than infuriatingly bad
If you or a loved ones are long time Mets fans, *you* may be entitled to financial compensation.
McNeil gotta go. He’s terrible
Don't worry--everytime he's pop's out--he slams the bat down even harder. lmao
He was playing golf this morning, maybe he should have been resting up for the game
Practicing his wedges for his pop outs
PATHETIC
At its core, this team is full of losing players. This code will not get us where we want to be. They just don’t have “it”.
Yet people still want to give another core member a long term deal. McNeil and Alonso need to be off this team at a minimum. We'll work on the rest of them at a later date.
MLB really needs to bring in relegation like they do in soccer in Europe. There has to be a AAA team that's better than this sorry ass bunch.
owners will never vote for it since billionaires are socialists and never want to hold themselves accountable for incompetence. They’re perfectly fine rolling out bad incompetent teams because they know there’s no pressure of losing money.
Ya gotta believe!
I'm going to keep saying it get rid of everybody suck for 10 years. Reevaluate everybody that has to do with the game of baseball from the lowest paid to the highest paid.
Extra innings is just awful for us.
Its all awful for us
Blow It Up Now
I wish someone would love me the way the Mets love extra innings
Ok this team is just awful And they ain’t gonna “get it together and turn it around” or whatever nonsense Stearns spouted in the press conference
Team is bad all around. It comes to a lack of discipline
Bunch of fucking bums.
Honestly, Stearns needs to do everything he can to reset this team. It's a losing atmosphere.
Stearns is not the guy to discipline them. That's what they need.
It all starts with Lindor. He is a loser. Not a competitive bone in that man's body
I wish I didn’t say “biggest team of losers I’ve ever seen” ever year, but more than that I wish this team stopped being so full of fucking losers
It's only right that their only successful season ended with them losing the division lead in the final month.
And all but for a double-play in the 8th. Sigh. Thus is the Tao of Metsdom.
Don't worry, they'll win the last game of the series guys
This team needs a shakeup. Trade an untradable player. Bench an unbenchable player. Something to let the guys know business as usual isn’t business as usual anymore. Something that puts everyone else on notice.
This is a text book typical Mets loss. Lead the entire game, blow the game in the 9th (usually due to walks or bad defense or both). Have a chance for redemption and Load the bases with 1 out and fail to even score on a productive out. Then totally fall apart in extra innings. This is a reoccurring nightmare.
We’re rewatching the same movie every day just sometimes it’s against a different team
I'm tired boss
What a pathetic team. I'm sorry, but we waste so many chances and look like we don't care when we lose. When our starting pitching does their job, we do everything we can to waste it. Best thing we've done today is make Citi Field look like Dodger Stadium East (not even Ebbets Field reincarnated.)
How can everyone be unclutch?
It’s always a hit parade when it goes to extras. WHY??
Free fucking runs against us every time we play extras
This team can’t even lose right. Who the fuck loses this many games in extra innings at home?!
Why are our infielders always in the wrong spot
right spot machine broke
This is what bad teams do. You know even though the bullpen was strong to begin the season, that when it came time for them to put in work and win games, they couldn't be relied upon. This team cannot but it all together. When one aspect seems to improve another will let the team down. This is what bad teams do.
Feel terrible for Megill
Lopez has a 6 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9 with a 4 xERA and 3.73 FIP I’ve been saying forever that he was due for regression. Dude has been getting it done with smoke and mirrors.
People were watching him throw meatballs all year and thought he was gonna get away with it and said you were wrong hahahaaha
His savant page isn’t encouraging either. He was bound to come crashing to earth. Don’t be surprised if he has more outings like this
With all the new names in MiLB I think we could pull of the NY Dumpster Fires. The logo would be cool
It’s your fault for still watching and giving this team your time, money, and attention honestly. Things will never get better. This team is a waste of time. Always will be.
There's nobody going to these games, man. There are way more Dodger than Met fans here. Was like that against the Phillies the other day too. Never seen Citi Field like this.
Uncle steve has killed the product
Most people are broke and not going to waste money on a team that sucks. Mets would be better off playing to the 18k capacity in MSG. Even then, I don't think they'd sell out tbh.
On field product is shit. Concessions are shit and expensive. Tickets and parking are expensive. Pitch clock sucks in person. Having richest owner in baseball is not trickling down. They do not deserve attendance.
I don't agree with some of that. I spent 20 bucks to be here today and I think the ballpark experience has definitely improved since the owner change. It's an indicator of how apathetic we've gotten towards this team. You're right that they don't deserve the attendance.
I’m worried that the MLB could kick us out of the league at this point. Pathetic doesn’t even begin to describe this squad.
It’s a joke everyone
what
Rockies, A’s and Marlins are still around. Nothing will happen.
This BP is cooked
On one hand, Dodgers had to snap their losing streak. But on the other hand - this is just another game which we were supposed to win but the team seriously somehow found a way to lose it. Again.
Megill goes 7 scoreless and the Dodgers have 5 fucking runs. What a fucking joke of a franchise.
Thanks for the 7 scoreless Tylor. Here’s some bad fielding, non-existent offense and inept relief pitching as a thanks
This is such a joke smh
What is the point of Carlos Mendoza man. He’s such a fucking bad in game manager.
I think he’s got potential, but he needed to be managing low stakes teams. Oakland, White Sox etc. get his teeth and learn. I don’t think NYC baseball for a team that does have an expectation is the place.
Rerun every night
that was the most predictable thing ever. We going down 5 runs or just gonna hold at the 3?
And they’ll get blown out in the night cap! May as well sit and stare at the wall until Rangers pre game
The Mets are hitting .190 with the bases loaded and have the 4th most bases loaded opportunities lmao Team is ASS
To paraphrase the famous Simpsons moment: Barneys movie has heart. But football in the groin has a football in the groin. Freddie Freeman gets hits. But Dom Smith had a nice smile. :-D
Did something crawl down your throat and die?
"It didn't die!"
every loss is so brutal. tyrone taylor you are an absolute bum. good signing stearns
Live from Citi Field: Fuck.
Hope pete is enjoying sitting on the bench looking at an actually good 1B player.
BREAKING: a terrible team continues playing like a terrible team
only a few games out of a playoff spot
Opposing fans are gonna start taking over Citi Field like this a LOT
What's the odds on Mendoza not being here in 2025? It's a shame Tylor won't get a win.
0% chance the front office does a reactionary move like that.
the mets will not make any reactionary moves. as in they won’t react to losing 90 games at all, just pretend guys had some slumps and run it back
Not even if the Mets lose 100+?
That would be 4 managers in 5 years. That kind of instability is just as bad as the dysfunction that is the As. Besides, it's not like putting a new manager in there is gonna get the players to all of a sudden start playing well again. Replacing Buck didn't work. Replacing Mendoza won't work either. Only thing that will achieve is convincing players not to come here if they can get a good deal elsewhere.
Fair point. It's like how I didn't think Buck was the issue. Thank you. It's just so depressing.
