Altchek's Office Alumni: 2017 New York Mets

Matt Harvey will start on Wednesday on short rest. TC says he wanted to get back on the mound as soon as possible.

good idea

Have we suffered enough yet. I just want 70 wins.

Going to guess the whole training staff will be fired in the offseason, and TC will not return.

Have we suffered enough yet.

NEVER

as long as the Braves have a Hundred Years' Drought

winning a pennant aint nothin' but Collins seems clueless on a number of levels

as long as the Braves have a Hundred Years' Drought

totally cool with that, the move to Cobb Co. was the last fucking straw – Mets, Phils & Barves fighting for bottom spot every year is a dream

Instant classic

Moltar:
Mets have already said that they are not making changes to their medical staff, training staff, or their partnership with Hospital for Special Services. If you were a free agent, would that alone scare you away from signing with the team? Would you take the Beltran route and only see private doctors?

Eno Sarris:
You know, I think their problem might actually be internal and communication related? How often is it just what they told us was a… fabrication? Does Terry Collins foster a clubhouse of communication and openness? Does the GM make sure that all players feel welcome to reveal what they are feeling without repercussion?

im glad they got rid of those black mets jerseys

Here’s a fact: the Mets allowed 39 runs to the Cubs, the most in a 3-game series in team history.

"fuck it i'll be a legend"

hahahahahahaaaaa

In case you were wondering how much I watch playing-out-the-string Septembers, i have no idea who #77 is.

when you're down eight runs in the ninth, you need to make your own breaks

Noah Syndergaard will face live batters in Miami, and the Mets hope he is able to get into a game sometime over the weekend at Citi Field.

Whyyyyy?

harvey day

According to sources within the organization, the Mets are keen on the idea of bringing in someone they consider more technologically savvy and more fluent in analytical and sabermetrics: someone in the mold of the Cardinals Mike Matheny.

amazin

good luck mets

I think the DN writer is a bit confused about Matheny's skill set.

A Jacob deGrom stomach bug is forcing the Mets to shuffle their rotation, pushing the ace’s Friday start back to Sunday. Robert Gsellman will take the hill on Friday, with Matt Harvey going on Saturday.

hey great, guess what my last game of the season will be?

Anyhoo I'm much more worried about the Mets signing Career-Year Moutsakas for 3b than I am of their finding a manager "in the mold of Mike Matheny."

syndergaard is to pitch the first inning on saturday, followed by harvey

:o

i'm terrified

if the mets can score in the first, harvey will have a good shot at his first career blown save

i've never heard of this happening ever in baseball... let alone two pitchers of this stature?

the mets

happens all the time in the minors, generally when relievers rehab or they're trying to limit someone's innings

I've seen sugggestions that this is one way pitchers will routinely be utilized... IN THE FUTURE

i just am not seeing any gain in having Thor throw in the majors in the final 8 days.

also, re Matheny

all these years i had no idea fluent meant "categorically allergic to" https://t.co/3PR5XwWCda

Nothing I enjoy more more than the home run apple not rising after a home run and the fans relentlessly demanding it (with chants of "we want apple") to be raised. Happened again tonight!

current NY Post list of Mets managerial candidates

Robin Ventura
Chip Hale
Kevin Long
Super Joe McEwing
Alex Cora
Bob Geren

Dan Warthen also rumored to be walking the plank (musta injured all those pitchers).

destroy season, Eternal Sunshine-style

Such a bummer about all the injuries, and then selling off most of the veterans in the last two months. Only solace in the end was getting to see extended looks at all the rookies/young guys. Still going to say I am looking forward to 2018 even though I have no idea what deals will be made in the off season.

mets hired tony defrancesco to manage triple-a las vegas

which doesn't mean much of anything except that he's the sort of good guy and minors manager the mets aren't usually able to attract

Among the factors Jeff Wilpon cited in counting David Wright's insurance covered salary as part of the payroll is the cost of the policy, "which is not cheap."

— Mike Puma (@NYPost_Mets) January 23, 2018

Jeff Wilpon said the Mets do not reinvest their David Wright insurance money back into the payroll because they must pay for the policy and for 25% of Wright's contract, and don't want to get caught way over budget in the event that Wright does return.

sounds like a wilpon parody account tbh
