Optimus-NY : 6/3/2024 5:55 pm
We’re trying something a bit different with the threads starting with this series. Instead of a thread per game, we’re going to try a thread per series due to their being less activity on the daily threads—which is totally understandable since the team is in a tailspin and doesn’t look to be going out of it anytime soon. Let’s see how it goes.
It was suggested we try it this way and we agreed upon it yesterday after we voted on it. If it’s not popular, we can always go back to doing it the old way. Please share your opinion about this change after this series is over on this thread. It won’t be much different. Lineups and starting pitcher matchup graphics will still be posted for each game as before, just consolidated into a single thread. Anywho, let’s give it a swing—and unlike the Mets, hopefully it’ll work! 😂

Notes:
-The games today and tomorrow will both be on SNY.
-The weather forecast for tonight's game at Nationals Park looks decent despite their being a thunderstorm prior to it. Click HERE to keep updated and see Hourly AccuWeather Reports for there.
-The Mets suffered their 6th loss yesterday when leading after 8 innings since May 1st. As of the end of yesterday afternoon’s game, no other team has more than two. Additionally, the Mets are 24-35 & in 4th place in the N.L. East. They’re 3.5 games behind the 3rd place Nats, who they’re playing for the first time this season tonight in the first game of a three-game set. They’re dangerous when it comes to stealing bases, so that’s something to take note of.

-The Mets' 4-man bench for tonight’s game will consist of Nido (R), Taylor (R), McNeil (L), & Stewart (L).

Gotta keep Nido. Torrens is gonna get the Gary Sanchez treatment once Alvarez is ready next week.

Has he figured out that there's no fighting in baseball? He's prepared to f*ck up guys who don't fight. I'd love to see the tough guy in an MMA ring.
Is he out of options? Didn't the Prisonstripers trade him because he's got an opt-out of his deal for June 15th?

Well, he's a career .226 hitter with 19 total home runs before today. He seems to have a good arm.

Series sweep. I don't know but maybe we should have done this sooner!
Check it...
I want him back next year with the Mets. He's showing that he's part of the solution, not the problem. Mets are gonna have at least three kids in the rotation between next year and into 2026 (e.g., Scott, Tidwell, and Sproat). Severino would be a nice veteran to be mix in with that group.

I think so! I'll take this as a vote for "Yes, let's continue!", lol.
We'll be doing one each month for the rest of the season. It'll be easier to consolidate info this way and for everyone to be able to follow along any news and information centering around the big club's various affiliates.

That and playing the Nat's....I thought they were supposed to be better this year?
Jose Iglesias is making me even less excited about Jeff McNeil's contract. I mean, Iglesias can play it seems and has a MLB track record to suggest this isn't a DJ Stewart fluke-ish few games...
Nice to win a few games; makes last Sunday's BP meltdown even harder to live with..

After a series sweep in the first series thread, is this even a question? Series threads, only, please! Thanks for doing these Optimus.
If Paige is dancin' I'm happy.
I'll cast my ballot right now in early Primary Voting -- Series Thread.
What exactly is Severino's Contract status ?? I want to keep him as long as possible as a bridge to the Young Guns.

FA after the year.
He's worth a new Contract. All the money the Mets have wasted on dis-interested Pitchers.....Luis is a Keeper.
he has shown he can pitch in NY and IMO has answered the question as to whether last year was an outlier.
Wouldn't mind going fwd with Senga, Sevy, Scott, Butto, Peterson, Tidwell, Sproat.
did not forget Manaea. Would look to deal him if out of it
whether he takes it or not who knows, but that would be a 4th round pick and $500k+ in pool money if he signs elsewhere.
fyi in the last few drafts that would mean a player like:
Ewing (2023 round 4 $675k)
Tong (2022 round 7 $226k)
Scott (2021 round 5 $350k)
signing 1 year free agents who perform well enough that you can qualify them the following offseason is great business. Ewing was the comp pick for losing Bassitt, and at this point he is likely a better prospect than anyone they gave up for Bassitt (Ginn is 25 w/ a 4.5 era in AAA, ranked #15 in OAK system).

Didn't the Mets sweep the Pirates earlier this season?
Either way, it doesn't happen often.

I didn't even think of the QO strategy. What would be his draft compensation if he was to sign elsewhere?
Would that beat mid season trade to a surging contender who needs pitching at the ASB?
Rory it would be a 4th round pick and a little over $500k in bonus$
Eric on Li : 6/6/2024 2:21 pm : link
for the draft pool. that's why i comp'd some of their recent picks in that range, because they have been getting solid prospects. scott and tong maybe more than solid as top 100 candidates. ewing probably a little fairer but he is squarely top 20 and probably comparable to vargas who was a good return for D-Rob.
so bottom line it would take a really good return for me to move Severino if i liked him enough to give him QO.
separately mayer just posted this, which is pretty interesting. I dont think lindor is the only variable here (vientos became starting 3b, JDM is healthy, alonso moved to #2, etc) but i think the takeaway is that this offense can be really good when they get alvarez back and he can outproduce whatever fall off we inevitably see from vientos.

Solid hitter, though with very little power/speed. Hit .292 in '22. I assume he was injured last year, as he only had 28 AAA games (and hit .317). Good backup IF. Ideally, you'd have a better starter at 2B, but ride the hot streak.
has played well and Acuna has cooled down (3 for his last 23), she they will probably give Iglesias a decent amount of leash. I'd like to see Ritter get a cup of coffee though.

acuna has cooled in terms of results, but under hood he is still playing better than earlier. not sure the hh% but i know he has had at least 1-2 every game and of those 23 only 2 k's (and 3 walks). so basically 7.5% k's, 11.5% walks, and 81% batted balls (21).
think that means 3/21 = .142 babip over the mini-slump, so there's some bad luck mixed in.
i agree iglesias probably has at least the rest of june or so and acuna is going to need to continue making good contact and showing progression before being ready for a call up.
Stewart's roster spot may be the easier one for someone at AAA to grab than Iglesias', if I were Baty i'd be volunteering to shag balls in LF.
be surprised to see Trayce Thompson relatively soon. wRC+ up to 116, 11.7 BB%, 22.4% K%, 14 homers. May hit .292/.363/.652 with 16 extra base hits and is 2/6 in June with a HR

Isn't he Klay Thompson's brother?
Saw him in ST...looks like he at least brings some power to the table...whether he'll figure out a way to keep the K's down is the question.

That he is. Posted a .901 OPS with the Dodgers in 2022
Like Alvarez won’t be back on the 11th as he’s missing this weekend in Syracuse to tend to a family matter.
but if they could some how keep this win streak going and come home to alvarez + diaz rejoining the team entering a 6 game homestand starting with miami, they wouldnt quite be back from the dead but they'd have a chance to get to .500 by the end of the month.
if they can be close to or at .500 entering this stretch, they will likely get themselves over .500 entering the ASB.
