Mets

In baseball, there are all different kinds of losses and each of them hurt in different ways. There are losses where, as a team, you simply get embarrassed ...

We are the sommeliers of the final inning meltdown, and last night, we experienced a vintage so rare you can count on one hand the number of times it has happened in the Phils’ 139-year history. - From@EliasSports, The Phillies had lost one game they led by 6+ runs entering the 9th since 1937, back on May 10, 1994, vs. There are games where offensive futility frustrates, especially against no-name starting pitchers with ERAs over 6.00. It feels like the Phillies have experienced a number of those in recent seasons. There are the losses when opportunities abound but an offense struggles to get that one big hit. In ‘15, there was the famed “white flag” 19-3 game in Baltimore when the Orioles beat down Ryne Sandberg’s squad and Chase Utley was seen yelling at pitching coach Bob McClure for not taking Jeff Francoeur off the mound after 50+ pitches. There are losses where, as a team, you simply get embarrassed and make a fool of yourself.

The Phillies' game Friday night against the Mets at Citizens Bank Park has been postponed because of rain. Could it be a reset for Joe Girardi and company?

Friday’s rainout gives the Phillies a day to regroup after the worst loss of Joe Girardi’s tenure as manager of the club. The Mets had eight hits in the inning against relievers James Norwood and Corey Knebel. It will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Aug. 20.

After 51 years, the Mets now have two no-hitters. “How often do you see a no-hitter? It's like seeing a white buffalo or a unicorn.” -Pete Alonso [ ...

But at the end of the day, I’m with the New York Mets and I respect their decision.” -Francisco Lindor [ New York Post] “I knew it was a strike, but at the same time, I think umpires, they have one of the hardest jobs in the world,” Bassitt said. “You can kind of have a human element without the cameras being on you,” Bassitt said. “Sad. I didn’t want to see him go, but I respect the team’s decision. “I enjoy when the home-plate umpire checks me, because I can talk with them almost off the record. We’re lucky that in today’s world it’s something that can be fixed.” -Buck Showalter [ New York Post] I think that’s what we have in this clubhouse.” -Travis Jankowski [New York Post] And I like to pitch a lot. “The best way I can describe it is you shake up a soda bottle, and you’re just waiting for the cap to pop off. It’s like, ‘Yes, we’re doing it!’ We all believed it [could happen], but it’s just like, ‘It’s happening, it’s happening.’ You don’t have too many nights like that.” -Francisco Lindor [ Mets] “It was just one of those euphoric moments that just kind of took over. “I think everybody pulls so hard for [Carrasco] because he’s such a quality guy.

Friday's game will be made up as part of a split-admission doubleheader on Aug. 20. The teams' three-game series Aug. 19-21 is the last time the Mets will travel to Philadelphia this season.

New York Mets releasing Robinson Cano in 2022 is comparable to the release of ...

And that is exactly what the Mets did with Robinson Cano. Hard to believe it was ever done with the Wilpons at the helm, although Nelson Doubleday still had some say back then. And when he struggled with the Mets, he was often booed unmercifully. In 1986, at the age of 37, Foster was a shell of himself and struggling. During that span he hit for a .301 clip and averaged 122 RBI. The rest of his career was rather pedestrian. By the time the Mets acquired Foster prior to the 1982 season, Foster was 33 years old and already in decline. The Mets made the decision to cut their losses and cut Cano. Although the Mets acquired Foster in a trade, the Mets had to first give Foster a new five-year $10 million contract to approve the trade. Foster had hit 248 homers in 10 seasons prior to joining the Mets, and hit 99 during his four-plus seasons with the Mets. Based on the average, it would appear his production was steady. Foster did most of his damage during the four-year span from 1976 through 1979 when he hit 29, 52, 40, and 30 home runs. And given his pedigree, and the “win now” philosophy of the Mets, and the permanent addition of the DH in the National League, it made sense to keep the aging one-time superstar. Cano did not perform well enough to keep him the lineup and justify keeping others off the field. That is what happens to All Star second basemen when they come to the Mets…just ask Robert Alomar, Carlos Baerga, Juan Samuel. Cano hit .256 with 13 homers and 39 RBI and managed to stay on the field for only 107 games in 2019 due to various nagging injuries.

Through injuries, deficits and scuffles, the New York Mets have proven they are not going to back down during the 2022 season.

And two times the Mets have spilled out of the dugout to come to their teammate's defense. That year's team eventually reached the World Series. Tylor Megill took the ball that day and has pitched like an ace in his first six starts. "I was involved in too many other things going on to start cheerleading, but I sure felt like it," Showalter said. That mentality and fortitude begins with manager Buck Showalter. In a seven-run game, he never stopped managing. Things looked grim Thursday night against the Philadelphia Phillies. A six-run, ninth-inning hole meant TVs were turned off or switched to the Rangers' playoff game.

The concerns surrounding Jarred Kelenic's outlook could numb the sting of a trade not many thoght the Mets should have made.

The Mets after 28 games are trending in the direction of a special team.

If the Mets weren’t getting that production, there would be an almost daily vigil for the ace right-hander, as he returns from a stress reaction in his scapula. But there was Davis in the middle of this latest ninth-inning rally with a pinch-hit double that set up Nimmo’s game-tying single. Four nights earlier it was Smith with four hits against the Phillies that helped lead a victory. There was the jaw-dropping rally with two outs in the ninth inning in St. Louis less than two weeks ago in which the Mets scored five times to overcome a two-run deficit to win. The moments are there to tell us that. Francisco Lindor told Jeff McNeil he would buy him a car if McNeil wins the batting title this year.

Girardi needs his team to respond to the toughest loss of his tenure in Philadelphia.

Without a contract for next year — the Phillies have yet to pick up his option — Girardi’s future could depend on it. “You trust the guys in the room to get it done. Though it is very early, this could be a seminal moment in the Phillies’ season.
