Only you would find that gem, Maas. Well done. Never even crossed my mind. Never even knew we had Parker.

Seems like Luis Ortiz has really found a rhythm since returning from injury. Is his use out of the pen, albeit in a piggyback role, mean anything at all as far as his planned MLB role, or not really?

As fun as it is to watch Arcia defensively at SS sometimes (though, to be honest, the tough dropped flies the last 2 nights by him are a play you'd like to see a defense only SS make), is about as not fun as it is to see him hit. You've kind of reached a point where only major injuries to all of our legitimate SS depth in the minors is the only thing keeping Arcia from toiling in Colorado Springs for the rest of the season. Now Arcia may someday blossom, and you hope he does. He's still very young. But you have to wonder if there is any expectation of contention in the near future here, how long that leash is going to be. Arcia doesn't need to be an offensive star, but he can't be a 2nd pitcher in the lineup. And currently getting on base less than 25% of the time, it's fair to call him that. You've kind of reached a crossroads where you wonder where we go from here. Fortunately for Arcia, the only other legitimate healthy SS on the roster is Sogard, no real long-term threat to his job. I never viewed Mauricio Dubon as anything more than a future utilityman, but I'm starting to wonder if he actually has a better chance of being what we hoped Orlando Arcia could be than Orlando Arcia does -- a high end glove with reasonable offensive skills and basepath speed.

For sure. Good to see.
-
He NEEDS regular maintenance days. Having a great series but you cannot run Braun out there every day like he's in his prime. Whatever it takes for time off to get the production, if you get greedy he won't look right one day for a couple games and will hit the DL shortly thereafter.
-
Maybe it's just my love for the guy but I feel like Williams has been starting to come into his own lately and nearing that late inning reliever status.
-
Literally anyone besides Arcia would have been better, Craig.
-
Yeah I mean he just ..is what he is. A 4.68 ERA speaks for itself. Won't make you long for the days of Glover or Obermueller as your #5, while still wishing for an upgrade.
-
Home plate ump gives Arrieta a straight gift on 3-1 to Suter just because he can't throw a strike to the pitcher. Would have been a travesty if he didn't walk anyway.
-
God Arcia is useless.
-
Saw that coming.
-
Come on Arcia! Weak as that bat is you need to start making those plays!
-
87 from Suter...bringing the cheese today.

Syndergaard and deGrom

The problem is this team isn’t a cheap rental bat away from being a legitimate World Seties contender. I just shutter to think of going into the playoffs with Chacin as our best starting pitcher. As far as the insistence Hader has to be included I don’t see it. Hader is not a young prospect anymore. He’s a very important piece to the current team. Why would the Mets expect us to give up possibly our most valuable pitcher when we are clearly in win now mode? We have plenty of good, major league or near major league prospects to offer. Whether or not they are good enough is the question. You're never one piece away. It's fools gold to ever think that one piece ever does anything more than increase your chances. So you have to weigh the cost benefit of everything you do. I do like the idea of getting a cheap rental bat that could significantly help our offense down the stretch. Depends on cost. I don't think there is probably a JD Martinez type value out there this year. Machado will cost way more. Ideally, Nelson will be our best SP in the playoffs. If not, it doesn't mean we don't have a chance. Its tougher, but you can win the WS off the backs of a strong offense and elite pen. As far as Hader not being a young prospect and a very important piece for us now, the Mets could not possibly care less about that. They will want to maximize their return if they ever trade Syndergaard or DeGrom, and the only way we could compete with teams that can offer top 5 of all MLB prospect headliners is to include Hader. -

The problem with all of these farm system asset offers is that there are about 10 or 15 other teams that would also love either of these two who can blow us out of the water on a prospect offer. You'd have to include major league talent, specifically Hader, to have a chance at winning the bidding. Whether or not they'd insist on Hiura isn't even a question. He just wouldn't be nearly as good of a headliner as other teams could offer. -
You'd have to think they're getting close to using Hader just to get him some work. So ideally it would be nice to be able to get to the 6th or so today leading or tied.

Sounds like fun, but you know we'll lose 3-2 and 2-1 the next 2 games. Adam, you a funny guy with some good baseball smarts. But gosh, you are gloomy guy who says in a middle of a sunny please day say "ya but, it will probably rain all day tomorrow!" Just pulling your leg, have a nice at, at least today! Just speaking tongue in cheek, was not meant to be taken seriously. Unless it actually happens, in which case I want all of the credit for calling it, and none of the blame.
-
I'm glad I stuck around long enough to see that play, lol.
-
I wonder if he thought today, "Crap. I don't even make that much less than Brad Miller."
-
You almost need to give him a batter or two at this point, it's been almost a week.

Thought Kapler was just going to let him wear it for a minute.
-
He's pretty solid for a career 4.50 ERA type.
-
C'mon Yelich. Ugly AB for what this guy is throwing.

Rock: "If you hang 'em, they'll bang 'em." I don't know why that made me laugh but it's pretty clear at 36 that I'll never grow up.
