  4. 79-46 at this point last year. Knowing how it ended – I’ll take this crap of a season. Lovable losers strike again.

  6. And here comes the stupid fans awarding our game day bot.

    It’s a bot, you idiots.

    🤦‍♂️

  9. Notes from the farm:

    FCL:

    FCL Mets host a playoff game against the FCL Braves tomorrow

    A+:

    Jett Williams: 3-5, 2B, 4 RBI, BB, SB
    Kevin Parada: 1-6, 2B, 2 RBI
    Ryan Clifford: 1-2, 3 BB
    Alex Ramirez: 2-5, 2B, 2 RBI
    Rhylan Thomas: 0-1, RBI, 4 BB

    Stanley Consuegra: 1-5, HR, 2 RBI, OF assist
    23rd HR as a Cyclone, surpassing Francisco Alvarez’s franchise record

    AA:

    Luisangel Acuna: 3-4, RBI, BB
    Jeremiah Jackson: 1-5, [HR](https://twitter.com/MetsPlayerDev/status/1694527169995710690?s=20)

    Stuart: (70 p, 47 s) 6 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, [6 K](https://twitter.com/JohnFromAlbany/status/1694517393198866579?s=20)

    AAA:

    Luke Ritter: 1-4, HR, 2 RBI
    Was removed for an [apparent injury after taking an awkward swing](https://twitter.com/oneshiningmets/status/1694438593412870601?s=20)

    Jarvis: 3.2 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 5 K, 1 HR

  10. I see why the Braves didn’t cut Ozuna after all of his brushes with the law.

    You get more leeway when you’re actually good at your job, no matter what that job is

  14. Nothing went right, from DJ Stewart slipping and getting picked off to the offense not being able to do anything against Morton. Quintana battled but he definitely tired in the 6th inning.

  18. i gotta say, watching the 7 run comeback again really makes me love the Mets even more. 2022 Mets were special.

  20. I’m pretty sure we’re going to pay more for Verlander and Scherzer to NOT play for us next year than Ozzie Albies is going to earn for the duration of his 7 year contract. That’s insane on multiple levels.
