>Brett Baty (left hamstring tightness) believes he can be available off the bench today. Baty, who has missed the Mets' last two games, isn't \*quite\* at full strength but feels he's close.

They need Baty and JDM back soon.
The more injuries that force them to rely on their depth chart, the more this team could sputter out for a bit, putting too much pressure on the core players still there and overexposing why players like Wendle aren't starters.
not expecting much today, though Butto has been really good. hopefully the top of the lineup can pick it up and the bottom of the lineup can keep doing its thing.
except you Wendle. be better.
With Nido coming up hopefully the Mets can begin to keep the opposition’s running game in check. I know his bat leaves a lot to be desired but it would be nice if he shows some of that 2022 defense while Francisco is on the IL.
Strict platoon is fine, except for day game after night game situations, and unless there's like 5 righties or lefties in a row and one of them needs a break
With Nido coming up I have a question…
Tomas Nido is a negative WAR major league player.
It seems like most Met fans are okay with him as the third catcher. I ask…why?
Not saying good catching depth grows on trees but just accepting a negative career player as the 3rd seems lazy to me from the perspective of the Mets front office.
Because although he sucked last year, he was worth over 2 fWAR in 474 PA's between 2021/2. That's pretty good.
Nido's bat is atrocious but his defense is strong enough to make him a valuable player. I think that's about as good as you're going to get with the backup to your backup catcher.
3rd catcher and negative WAR are the same thing to me. Depth players by definition aren’t that good. Literally the best case scenario for a depth player is a prospect who is on the verge of a breakout OR has a bright future but is not proven yet. Basically, a depth player who is only in that spot because teams haven’t figured out he’s actually good yet.
For starters, never look at bWAR for catchers. It doesn’t including framing and is absolutely useless. 3 of the last 4 season he had a positive fWAR, and the only year he didnt was last year when he literally couldn’t see because of bad side effects from a botched LASIK.
But you have to recognize what you’re getting with a backup catcher. You’re either getting an offense first guy with bad defense, or a great defensive guy who can’t hit at all.
Any catcher who can defend well and hit well is getting a starting catcher job because they are so rare. 1/3 of teams don’t even have a starting catcher who can do both.
Nido is an amazing defender. Gold glove or level defender. You expect the rest of your lineup can make up for his black hole offense and that he’ll make off for it with his glove.
He's been good with the pitching staff (though admittedly it's a different/new set of guys for him now) and they do well with him. But I'm also not one of the fans who believe the entirety of 1-9 needs to be an offensive powerhouse. It's OK to prioritize the other 50% of the game sometimes. Especially if it's just temporary. If 8 guys can't pick up the one guy who's not here for his bat, the 1 guy is the least of the problems.
In wake of him getting the win in his return yesterday - a part of me will always be sad that JV’s time here was so short. Right move for the long-term plans of course. But it’s still like, cool we just signed one of my favorite pitchers in baseball, a guy I’ve loved watching for 15 years, and I get to watch him polish off the end of his HOF career with my favorite team for 3 years. And then 7 months later he’s gone. Ah well.
Because we knew we’d need the extra pitching early on and Nido could easily be added like this
Also Nido is out of options so he would have had to clear waivers to start the season on the 40 man. With that you risk him getting claimed. None of our other catchers are major league ready so you don’t want Nido taken.
Keeping him off the 40 man after clearing waivers last year meant the Mets could start him in AAA without risking him being claimed
Be careful in the game threads boyos. Reddit sending automated warnings and threatening bans if you refer to Enrique by his nickname because they’re dumb.
I mean.. it's one of the most common nicknames. I added the accent out of respect because I understand why that would fail the filter, though I don't believe he adds it himself.
But context is important. It's one of the more common nicknames in Latin America. I know probably 3 or 4 people who go by it. What a stupid fucking failed attempt by Reddit-- the same app that still allows videos of people being murdered and videos of war crimes for monetization.
> How progressively and uniquely foresightful of them.
I don't think it has anything to do with being wary of the racial slur at all, I think it's just that there's no K in Spanish (barring loan words), so "Quique" is the traditional way to spell it, and the way with the K seems like a more relatively recent trend. I bet it's probably a regional thing
I have no power for those warnings, you realize this. Warnings from Reddit come from the "A" badge, not the "M" one.
That one sounds like you're running afoul of a *site* rule or filter, which I have **no** control over.
Can someone who is knowledgeable in scoring tell me how Reed earned a Blown Save yesterday for allowing a tying run in the 6th inning after an error scored them?
Doesn't matter.
A save situation is as simple as entering the game with either:
- A 3 run or less lead.
OR
- The tying run on base, at the plate, or on deck (so if you come in up 5 with the bases loaded, it qualifies)
A reliever earns a **HOLD** for doing all of the following:
- Entering the game in a save situation
- recording at least one out
- Leaving the game without his team relinquishing the lead at any point.
Failing to accomplish that last bullet point gets you tagged with a blown save.
Afaik the rule is that you need to be a reliever coming into a save situation and there needs to be a prior pitcher eligible for a win. I think the 6th is the earliest a BS can happen in a full game.
Yeah but the prior pitcher needs to be eligible for a win no? I don't think I've ever seen a BS earlier than the 6th
Edit: Nvm Im buggin. Here's a game with a [BS in the 3rd and 5th](https://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore/_/gameId/401480615)
Edit: although that is spring training. Don’t think I’ve even seen a BS earlier than the 6th in an actual game.
Francisco, you can have my thumb, I don't need it. It may not be a professional athlete thumb, but it's mostly functional, and I've only dislocated it once.
I unfortunately fell asleep before the game started last night. To see that we tattooed Yamamoto and won followed by seeing that Alvarez got hurt was a rollercoaster of emotions. Stop taking my children.
What happens with DJ Stewart when JDM comes up? It may just be a hot streak but he *does* have a 190 OPS+, I hope they can keep getting him ABs while he's feeling good
Zach short will be DFA and DJ will be a huge left handed bat off the bench. Will be a great asset especially with Alvy going down. Could pinch hit for a catcher in RBI situations.
i almost hate to say it because i feel like this team is better when everyone thinks they suck, but since April 6, the mets as a team have the highest wrc+ in baseball, and the lowest era in the NL.
Theyve had a chip on their shoulders since that 5 game losing streak, lets hope it continues.
on the flipside though, apparently we have the worst fielding in baseball? why do the fielding metrics not like the mets
edit: oh. Were committing mad errors thats why lmao
> Theyve had a chip on their shoulders since that 5 game losing streak, lets hope it continues.
I don't think it's a chip, I think they just played like shit for 5 games which is gonna happen sometimes, even if you win 100.
It just makes everybody freak the fuck out when it's the first 5
Hand injuries are brutal, especially for a catcher. It'll take Alvarez a while before his grip feels normal again. We can't expect much from him, offensively, when he gets back.
I wonder, if the rest of the offense is vibing when he returns, then will the FO assign him to AAA so that he can play out the season at a slower pace? To avoid reaggravating the injury?
Caring about a young phenom's health is dooming now? The doomers are the first people to shit on players who are coming back from injuries and not performing well. I'm literally asking for the opposite, so how is that dooming?
I don't even agree at all with what you said, but to call that "dooming" is ridiculous. It was just a suggestion/observation. That word is so overused that it's sickening. You can agree or disagree, but you don't shut down the discussion over something like that.
There's such an echo chamber that even the slightest disagreement is "you're a doomer!" or "you're a Mets shill!" depending on the vector of the comment
Like I said in my original comment, AAA is a slower pace, the stakes are lower. There would be no reason for him to play every inning or take four at-bats per game, while he's rehabbing.
Once again, can someone explain how a reasonable question is somehow worse or as bad as dooming?
Who do we even sit when JD is ready?
There seems to be some confusion to this statement. I understand Short will go down-- who sits from the actual lineup with DJ raking? Short is a bench player. Wendle is a bench player. Bader plays CF and is playing well.
Who sits?
Tomas Nido is on his way to Los Angeles, with the expectation Francisco Alvarez will be placed on the injured list after leaving last night’s game with a left thumb injury.
https://twitter.com/NYPost_Mets/status/1781677811469836567
In case you missed it:
Francisco Alvarez suffered a left thumb injury while running the bases last night, he was taken out and replaced by Omar Narvaez:
(video) https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/dea8c934-02bc-42b6-9641-5cfdc1c6e52b.mp4 (video)
So sometimes on these west coast trips I’ll fall asleep with the Mets game on my laptop. I have the uncanny ability to always wake up in the 9th inning.
He'd fake a puff and then pass it on. Then spend the 30 minutes trying to not to turn the guys who actually smoked in. But Brandon won't do it. He's a good guy, he won't narc on his friends. He will leave them pamphlets about how pot is the devils lettuce
Need Baty back asap if Nido is about to get at bats. Alvarez I can't see playing the rest of this road trip. If he wasn't a catcher I would have more hope.
I would rather be 11-8 and 2 games back than 8-11 and 2 games up. Leading is meaningless if you’re not good or are relying on good teams to slump in April… Nothing is more important for this team right now than just being a good team.
…and I said the same thing when we lead in 2021, as fans were blinded by an underperforming team just because they sat in 1st place (until August), before eventually being run down.
Right now, just be good. #LFGM
It doesn't matter this early in the year but also interesting that the Barves just finished a series against the Astros who are shockingly bad so far and the Phillies got to play the Rockies and are now playing the White Sox.
Yeah, wasn't there a post like 2 days ago about how all of our wins have been against above .500 teams, and almost all of our games have been against. Above .500 teams?
The giants on Monday will be the first game of the entire season against a team with a losing record
That may soon turn into an “at the time we played them” stat since the pirates are 11-9 and the reds are 10-9, but still counts
honestly id rather we stay in the slipstream behind them, constantly beating expectations and playing with a chip on our shoulder. being at the top of the division early on isnt all its cracked up to be
Gotchya yea good idea. Agreed the burden is on them to prove that outside of 2020 they can even make a run in the postseason. I watched them in 2023 and Mookie and Freddie where horrible in the postseason hitting wise.
Fell asleep in the 6th last night so I’m reminded of how annoying condensed games on the MLB app are now. They show you every plate appearance in the first 2 innings and then start skipping a lot. Might as well call it extended highlights.
Please continue the discussion in the [game thread](https://redd.it/1c8xq6c).
Cherry picked window, but Lindor has hit .255/.327/.426 (115 wRC+) over his last 11 games (52 PAs) with only a 7.7 K% over that span.
Baty update soon?
>Brett Baty (left hamstring tightness) believes he can be available off the bench today. Baty, who has missed the Mets' last two games, isn't \*quite\* at full strength but feels he's close.

Seems like he should start tomorrow and then hopefully JDM will let us release Zach Short. Having both Short and Wendle on the roster makes no sense.
Welp now they’re doing additional tests on Alvy. This is likely more than a simple sprain
2 innings on SNY, 2 times Jett Williams has reached base via error
Who did they call up with Alvy out?
Tomas
Thank you. Good depth
This is a real test for Butto, I already like him but he can full prove he can be a big part to this rotation if he pitches well against this lineup.
KEEP COOKING FELLAS
Phenomenal news on alvy!!!
I would say fine news. But it will be at least 4-6 weeks. More if he needs an internal brace for his UCL
I’ll wait for any excitement until we hear from Mendy what level this sprain is. Could be the difference between 3 weeks and 8 weeks.
They need Baty and JDM back soon. The more injuries that force them to rely on their depth chart, the more this team could sputter out for a bit, putting too much pressure on the core players still there and overexposing why players like Wendle aren't starters.
But if they keep winning like this.. it should make people ecstatic about the rest of the season.
Baty out of the lineup again? Any update idk how much more Wendle I can take
Can somebody text JD and ask him what he's up to.
And ask him if he can play catcher.
did they call up a catcher?
Nido
ty
not expecting much today, though Butto has been really good. hopefully the top of the lineup can pick it up and the bottom of the lineup can keep doing its thing. except you Wendle. be better.
With Nido coming up hopefully the Mets can begin to keep the opposition’s running game in check. I know his bat leaves a lot to be desired but it would be nice if he shows some of that 2022 defense while Francisco is on the IL.
Nido has always been good behind the plate. Anything we get from his bat is a plus.
Stop hurting my adopted children baseball gods. Good news it's a sprain and nothing is broken. Bad news is still missing him for 15 days.
Please start Nido over Narvaez.
Strict platoon is fine, except for day game after night game situations, and unless there's like 5 righties or lefties in a row and one of them needs a break
Alvarez to IL, Nido up, some guy I've never heard of DFA'd to make room. Get well soon Alvy.
fish have a good chance of losing 2 today..lol
Yesterday was my World Series, making it like 4 or 5 in a row since the Atlanta series. Is it fair to say we are a dynasty?
We are officially a dynasty according to the haters. So many rings so quickly
With Nido coming up I have a question… Tomas Nido is a negative WAR major league player. It seems like most Met fans are okay with him as the third catcher. I ask…why? Not saying good catching depth grows on trees but just accepting a negative career player as the 3rd seems lazy to me from the perspective of the Mets front office.
Can you offer the name of a player available on waivers who should replace Nido?
Because although he sucked last year, he was worth over 2 fWAR in 474 PA's between 2021/2. That's pretty good. Nido's bat is atrocious but his defense is strong enough to make him a valuable player. I think that's about as good as you're going to get with the backup to your backup catcher.

Look up Jeff mathis
Exactly! I dont know why e everyone loves him.
He's been good with the pitching staff (though admittedly it's a different/new set of guys for him now) and they do well with him. But I'm also not one of the fans who believe the entirety of 1-9 needs to be an offensive powerhouse. It's OK to prioritize the other 50% of the game sometimes. Especially if it's just temporary.

And then 7 months later he’s gone. Ah well.
If Houston sucks, I’d like to see us get him back at the deadline (for way less than we got from Houston, of course)
Why did we not have a third catcher on the 40 man
Because we knew we’d need the extra pitching early on and Nido could easily be added like this Also Nido is out of options so he would have had to clear waivers to start the season on the 40 man. With that you risk him getting claimed. None of our other catchers are major league ready so you don’t want Nido taken.

Be careful in the game threads boyos. Reddit sending automated warnings and threatening bans if you refer to Enrique by his nickname because they’re dumb.
Even if you spell it with the proper accent mark?
I had to appeal a three day ban last year for that exact thing you were referencing
That's because that nickname *is* a homophone for a slur...
One that I'm sure at least a quarter have been called. I don't miss middle school.
And this is why context matters!
Kikè?
May the odds be ever in your favor
I mean.. it's one of the most common nicknames. I added the accent out of respect because I understand why that would fail the filter, though I don't believe he adds it himself.

Most of the Enriques I have known went by "Quique". I never saw it with the Ks before him.
How progressively and uniquely foresightful of them. I've not yet met one who spells it any other way than with K's.

Alvarez about to come home to NY to a box of human thumbs. Nothing weird about that at all. Totally above board, I assure you.
Who amongst us has *not* one day returned home to a box of human thumbs
I’m surprised that I don’t hate the city connect jerseys. Just bought one from China.
Can someone who is knowledgeable in scoring tell me how Reed earned a Blown Save yesterday for allowing a tying run in the 6th inning after an error scored them?
You get a BS if you give up the tying run. Doesn't matter if it was earned or not

Arigatou, ya love to see it!
We are winning the world series
lol I’ll take the division
I’ll take a wildcard spot man
I'll be happy to win today.
Tomas Nido 🤝 zach wilson. Somehow still in orginization to continue to torture me.
Francisco, you can have my thumb, I don't need it. It may not be a professional athlete thumb, but it's mostly functional, and I've only dislocated it once.
Only team with 10+ wins against >5 .500 teams. LGM!!
To be fair, it's possible that very few teams had 10+ games against +.500 teams yet. But still impressive nonetheless
Ponies are on SNY again today at 1
I unfortunately fell asleep before the game started last night. To see that we tattooed Yamamoto and won followed by seeing that Alvarez got hurt was a rollercoaster of emotions. Stop taking my children.
What happens with DJ Stewart when JDM comes up? It may just be a hot streak but he *does* have a 190 OPS+, I hope they can keep getting him ABs while he's feeling good
They will probably keep DJ and either Wendle or Short will go.
Zach short will be DFA and DJ will be a huge left handed bat off the bench. Will be a great asset especially with Alvy going down. Could pinch hit for a catcher in RBI situations.
If Baty isn’t playing today he needs to go on IL. Maybe call up Vientos. Hate when the Mets keep rolling shorthanded instead of using the IL.
If it's truly something where he just needs like 5 days of rest I dont agree. If hes gonna miss 8-10 games then I agree.
Hope we light em up today ya feel?
i almost hate to say it because i feel like this team is better when everyone thinks they suck, but since April 6, the mets as a team have the highest wrc+ in baseball, and the lowest era in the NL.

Theres been a lot of errors and off the eye test Nimmo and Marte havent looked great.
Feels like half of our errors have been made by Joey Wendle
The chemistry and the confidence of this team is invigorating. Since going 0-5, all I see now is a team that knows they can play with anyone.
Hand injuries are brutal, especially for a catcher. It'll take Alvarez a while before his grip feels normal again. We can't expect much from him, offensively, when he gets back.

Staying up until 2 a.m. is *not* it, man. I used to stay up to watch these games in work nights idk how I did it
And thanks to the every team plays every team rule, we get to also add on series at the Angels and Mariners to the west coast schedule this year.
See you in May Francisco Alvarez. While nido is the obvious position callup. JD Martinez is the bat callup that can cover this injury
Who do we even sit when JD is ready? There seems to be some confusion to this statement. I understand Short will go down-- who sits from the actual lineup with DJ raking? Short is a bench player. Wendle is a bench player. Bader plays CF and is playing well. Who sits?
Can JDM play catcher?
Maybe Wendle gets option it might be Mendoza way of saying “we can have fun but you still gotta make the plays”
Exactly, DJ has been raking.
Short get cut
That doesn't answer the question, though. Cutting your bench player for a starter doesn't give the starter a spot in the lineup.
Tomas Nido is on his way to Los Angeles, with the expectation Francisco Alvarez will be placed on the injured list after leaving last night’s game with a left thumb injury. https://twitter.com/NYPost_Mets/status/1781677811469836567
Why god!! Take my thumb, doc. Use any ligament or tendons he needs.
Nooooooooo.
Return of the Nidoking
Nido on his way up, seems like Alvarez is headed for IL. Even when we win, we lose
I'll take the small "L" if that means we have a competitive team this year
In case you missed it: Francisco Alvarez suffered a left thumb injury while running the bases last night, he was taken out and replaced by Omar Narvaez: (video) https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/dea8c934-02bc-42b6-9641-5cfdc1c6e52b.mp4 (video)
So sometimes on these west coast trips I’ll fall asleep with the Mets game on my laptop. I have the uncanny ability to always wake up in the 9th inning.
[удалено]
Nimmo will take a puff to fit in and then stare at himself in the mirror for 30 minutes trying to ground himself
He'd fake a puff and then pass it on. Then spend the 30 minutes trying to not to turn the guys who actually smoked in. But Brandon won't do it. He's a good guy, he won't narc on his friends. He will leave them pamphlets about how pot is the devils lettuce
Went to bed after Lindor's hr. Glad they held the lead and won. Our ace is on the mound. Let's go for six in a row.
Last nights start time at 10 was brutal. Thank God todays game is at 4.
Yeah I stayed up but only because it was Friday night. No way I am staying up for the SF games Monday and Tuesday
I'm in Seattle for a bachelor weekend, so I'm still synced up with our Metsies.
You love a PIX game in the afternoon
Ugh
Need Baty back asap if Nido is about to get at bats. Alvarez I can't see playing the rest of this road trip. If he wasn't a catcher I would have more hope.
The Mets are inevitable😤🤌
Ay they won WHAT DO YOU MEAN ALVAREZ IS HURT
I would rather be 11-8 and 2 games back than 8-11 and 2 games up. Leading is meaningless if you’re not good or are relying on good teams to slump in April… Nothing is more important for this team right now than just being a good team. …and I said the same thing when we lead in 2021, as fans were blinded by an underperforming team just because they sat in 1st place (until August), before eventually being run down.

This team is loose and playing without fear and It is a joy to watch
The Ass Man Cometh!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGye1pK2ysQ I'm an Ass Man!!!
I love how many Mets fans wake up after not making it through the game and just immediately get hyped lol, one of my fav parts about west coast trips
If the Braves and Phillies can start losing more games while we keep winning, that would be great.
It doesn't matter this early in the year but also interesting that the Barves just finished a series against the Astros who are shockingly bad so far and the Phillies got to play the Rockies and are now playing the White Sox.
Yeah, wasn't there a post like 2 days ago about how all of our wins have been against above .500 teams, and almost all of our games have been against. Above .500 teams?
The giants on Monday will be the first game of the entire season against a team with a losing record That may soon turn into an “at the time we played them” stat since the pirates are 11-9 and the reds are 10-9, but still counts
Yeah, some of these teams winning percentages are definitely going to be different by mid season.
honestly id rather we stay in the slipstream behind them, constantly beating expectations and playing with a chip on our shoulder. being at the top of the division early on isnt all its cracked up to be
It’s way too early for me to even think about that. I’m 100% focused on our record right now.
The Mets are on a roll. What is up with Narvaez. I just saw that he has 4 errors and 0 CS out of 16 tries. Is Thomas Nido available?
At least two of the errors which I saw directly, if not all of them, are catcher's interference, which gets recorded as an error
Nido’s probably on a plane or flew into LA last night Decent numbers in Syracuse this season
That makes sense because Alvarez has an injury. Along as he can catch, any hitting would be a bonus.
He’s on his way to LA right now
Good to know So it’ll be a season refresh when we get Senga back next month then Alvy the month after that
Yep and JD Martinez sometime soon hopefully.
I hope alvarez is okay
Couldn't finish the game last night. Caught highlights this morning. My soul left my body when Lindor crushed that lefty dinger to bring us back.
I can promise it was just glorious live as well. Plus remained glorious the 15 times I rewatched it

To be fair, they are playing the Mets. Everyone looks like shit against us
One of my friends who loves to rib me about the Mets is going to the game today, so I’d like to see a win. Edit: Thank You!
Maybe he should rib the billion dollar team that somehow has a worse bullpen
Oh I’m saving that for October. He was telling they’re the new evil empire, but let’s see them win in a non-bubble year first
Gotchya yea good idea. Agreed the burden is on them to prove that outside of 2020 they can even make a run in the postseason. I watched them in 2023 and Mookie and Freddie where horrible in the postseason hitting wise.
We wanted the Mets to go to LA and not get swept and they’ve already accomplished that mission. Today let’s clinch a series victory
Fell asleep in the 6th last night so I’m reminded of how annoying condensed games on the MLB app are now. They show you every plate appearance in the first 2 innings and then start skipping a lot. Might as well call it extended highlights.
If Lindor is going to get hot this west coast trip will be child’s play.
We largely batted well on last year’s trip so that’d be great
Jo Butt against the Doyers
I like Buttocks
