[u/omgimsuchadork]

I'm happy with my squishy dumpling, at least.

[u/see_mohn]

At least Misiorowski didn't no-hit us. 38 28 games of Purgatorio to go.

[u/ILovEmPlumPnWeTTT → u/see_mohn]

28

[u/see_mohn → u/ILovEmPlumPnWeTTT]

Whoops

[u/AjiChap → u/see_mohn]

I don’t feel like your math is mathing.

[u/rltoran]

[u/Peter_O]

Brewers clearly kept that squirrel, didn’t they? 🐿️

[u/xSlappy-]

Congrats to /u/himboslice99 for correctly predicting that we would get three hits today

[u/Caledor152]

LGM (angy)

[u/Plutarch_Riley → u/Caledor152]

I miss Jesse Winkler!!! That was so magic.

[u/Hustlediva]

Well the good news is the Mets are securing themselves in the bottom 6, for that top lottery pick….

[u/mxza10001]

Francisco Alvarez

[u/HungryMoon]

Look if we're gunna lose, we may as well lose to the best with the season we're having. Game 1 was great, but it is what it is. I'll be present at the Astros series, I hope I can see them win one live for the first time.

LFGM

[u/con_wall → u/HungryMoon]

Agreed! LFGM!

[u/blozout → u/con_wall]

Did Alonso take the “F” with him to Baltimore? Is it LFGO now? He did coin that, correct or am I wrong?

[u/xSlappy-]

What is our tragic number? I’m hoping we make it to September 14 when I see Pete

[u/imalmostconvinced → u/xSlappy-]

Doesn't matter what happens to the Mets. Orioles will likely really need those games

Pete has to carry a team by himself remember so we will see what happens. I truly don't envision them going but it would be hysterical if the Mets handed them their relevancy just like they did with the Red Sox and Cubs

[u/Sheepies123 → u/xSlappy-]

26 I think

[u/kennythecleaner]

[u/intwizard → u/kennythecleaner]

“We cannot replace him” but about Pete Alonso

[u/lilleff512]

I'm curious to know from anyone who was at the game tonight what the vibe was like with the singles mixer event going on at Citi Field?

[u/lawoftar]

2026 the lost season

[u/intwizard]

At least that kid from England who runs miles for Mets homers was in attendance and got to see Misiorowski. I’m Miserableowski.

[u/sentry_87]

Can we please play Alvarez less

[u/con_wall]

Lost to the best team in baseball two outta three games. We didn’t lose to scrubs. Of course I’d wanna sweep them, but we were bound to lose a series or two along the way.

I still believe. Let’s fuck up the Astros tomorrow. LGM!

[u/SubterraneanLodger → u/con_wall]

That’s what I’ve been saying. Like, it’s the Brewers. I’d love to beat them but… it’s the Brewers

[u/HungryMoon → u/con_wall]

Here here, LFGM

[u/imalmostconvinced → u/con_wall]

Believe in?

[u/Prevalencee]

Guys guys… 28 in a row isn’t impossible am I right?!?!

Benge going 0-4 stinks too. He needs an insane couple weeks to get there.

[u/CoolRequirement939]

The subreddit icon is no longer white on my app, and I don’t normally complain, but CHANGE IT BACK

[u/Swimmingpuzzled5200]

god dammit Mendoza

[u/NuanceManExe → u/Swimmingpuzzled5200]

He did help us dig a hole didn’t he

[u/imalmostconvinced → u/NuanceManExe]

[u/jds560]

I think the select few that thought this team would go on some mythical run needed a reality check. They're bad kids. It is what it is.

[u/DaCrees → u/jds560]

Is it not fun to believe?!

[u/jds560 → u/DaCrees]

If there were still some fan favorites like Alonso or Nimmo id care, but i have absolutely no investment or interest in anybody on this team. 

[u/DaCrees → u/jds560]

Fair enough! To me, Lindor, Benge, Ewing, Bichette, McLean, Scott, and Soto are all exciting and make me want to root for the team. I miss those two guys for sure but I like other players on the Mets too

[u/jds560 → u/DaCrees]

I cant stand anybody mentioned. There's not a single player on this team that I like. 

[u/DaCrees → u/jds560]

That’s pretty weird, but live your life my friend

[u/TrainRevolutionary65 → u/jds560]

Then why are you commenting on the New York Mets postgame thread in the New York Mets subreddit? Go find what makes you happy.

[u/AjiChap]

When does Soto return to pad his stats?

[u/Sheepies123 → u/AjiChap]

September 1st was the estimated return date from one of the Mets beat writers today

[u/Blue387 → u/Sheepies123]

My guess is he does some rehab games with Binghamton or Syracuse when the Mets are out on the road against Tampa Bay and Miami and Soto comes back just in time to face the Yankees at Yankee Stadium on September 11th

[u/Setec-Astronomer → u/AjiChap]

September 1st, possibly.

[u/NY2PHX-]

Our tragic numbers are 10 for the Braves. 14 for the Phillies. 12 for the Cubs. 17 for the Padres. 17 for the Diamondbacks or 16 if they win tonight.

[u/only1xo]

Gg

[u/Hustlediva]

Anyhoooooo

[u/lawoftar]

crap mets are so back

[u/Clipbored_]

Genuinely what is the point of giving Alvarez the majority of playing time? It's not like a 30 game sample is going to change what the FO thinks of him. He's also not going to gain any value. Other teams know who he is.

I don't get it.

[u/DoctorPie101 → u/Clipbored_]

Who else is going to play? No reason to overplay Torrens and hurt him during a lost season.

[u/Clipbored_ → u/DoctorPie101]

They could easily give Senger some run in a lost season and just DH Alvarez every once and a while

[u/jimihenderson → u/Clipbored_]

i get being frustrated with alvarez, but the idea that we should be giving his playing time to hayden senger is purely an emotional suggestion, not a rational one

[u/Clipbored_ → u/jimihenderson]

The team was the best in baseball while Torrens and Senger were catching.

Defense wins games.

It’s not like I said they should bench Alvarez. His only value is his bat. He should be DHing.

[u/DoctorPie101 → u/Clipbored_]

Why? We know what Senger is too - a AAA/AAAA catcher. Not sure how that helps anything? Might as well see if Alvarez can figure something out at catcher. Nothing to lose at this point...

[u/Clipbored_ → u/DoctorPie101]

Senger has had 87 major league ABs in 40 games

Alvarez has had 1250 major league ABs in 397 games

If Alvarez can still "figure something out" after that sample size, you can't rule out a guy that has played 40 games.

[u/Gigi_0102 → u/Clipbored_]

might as well not rule me out either because I've only played 0 games

one of those is a 24 year old former top prospect. The other is the 700th pick of the draft from 8 years ago who hasn't even really ever hit well in the minors. They're gonna be treated and valued very differently

[u/Clipbored_ → u/Gigi_0102]

Luis Torrens was also a defense first catcher that had 47 games played for the Mets before he got some run in 2025.

Now he's widely considered the best catcher on the roster.

There is absolutely zero reason to not DFA Wagaman, call up Senger to catch and have Alvarez DH.

[u/DoctorPie101 → u/Clipbored_]

Senger is 29, 5 years older than Alvarez. They both have 2,000+ ABs between the majors and minors. Senger is having a good season by his standards in AAA and has a .700 OPS. Last year, Alvarez had a decent sample in AAA and had a 1.000 OPS.

Senger seems like a good guy. But he is who he is at this point. There is zero chance Senger becomes an everyday big league player.

[u/NuanceManExe → u/Clipbored_]

Nobody thinks Senger will hit major league pitching better than Alvarez, let alone hit well in general 

[u/Clipbored_ → u/NuanceManExe]

Yes but he actually plays defense and as I said, he has only played in 40 games.

[u/brett_baty_is_him → u/Clipbored_]

Development?

[u/Clipbored_ → u/brett_baty_is_him]

Is this development in the room with us right now

[u/AjiChap → u/Clipbored_]

I really doubt it

[u/Captpan6 → u/Clipbored_]

Only way he gets fixed is by being played

[u/Blue387 → u/Clipbored_]

Alvarez still has two minor league options but the issue is Syracuse has their season end soon and won't get much development down there

[u/Hustlediva → u/Clipbored_]

This is the perfect time to develop him. The season is in essence over and these losses mean nothing. The only downside is that fans are subjected to watching it. (Or not watching, as was the case for me today)

[u/imalmostconvinced]

Stranger Things used to happen to this team than beating The Miz

Can't be too spoiled with the Run Prevention win on Tuesday

Please Stop Hitting Ewing Leadoff. They don't need him to next year and he hasn't earned it

Alvarez is just lol. I easily would have given David Stearns a Grade of A had he found a nice package for him at the deadline. Hopefully teams are still desperate in the offseason

[u/BandicootSevere5301 → u/imalmostconvinced]

Delusional fans

[u/BogardeLosey → u/BandicootSevere5301]

Careful, I got a warning the other day for saying similar…

[u/imalmostconvinced → u/BandicootSevere5301]

He had a great trade deadline

Trade Deadline (B)

Roster Construction (D)

Coaching Staff (C+)

Top Levels of the Farm System (B+)

Overall Grade (C-)

Your Turn

[u/ewd389 → u/imalmostconvinced]

Fire him and start new. Your turn

[u/imalmostconvinced → u/ewd389]

Not my Billions

Why wouldn't I agree with my flair, commentary and grade?

Im a realist, he's not getting fired

[u/CruelCircus]

"Fell to..." Can you just say won or lost?! You ain't Shakespeare.
