Spotrac reports the Mets’ total payroll for the 2025 season is approximately $339.42 million, placing them second highest in MLB payrolls this year. Crazy when consider the product.
McLean is the first Mets pitcher to pitch at least 5 scoreless innings in his major league debut since Zach Wheeler did it 12 years ago. If McLean turns out to be as good as Wheeler is, hopefully it won't be for another team, the way it turned out with Wheeler.
Totally aside from the game, all of the "kid stuff" surrounding this broadcast is absolutely insufferable.
Two in a row! Mets are blazing! Hopefully Alvarez didn't mess up his other thumb on the slide at second.
That would be my prediction. The Mets are very bad at keeping their own pitchers. This issue has been plaguing them for decades. Develop pitchers, trade them or let them walk, become all stars for another team. Everyone knew Seth Lugo was going to be great, I can't believe they let him walk.
Carlos Mendoza says Francisco Alvarez needs surgery for his right thumb UCL injury and the Mets are talking to multiple doctors "There's players in the past that can play through this. That's why we're giving it a chance" Yeah, he’s season is done one would think.
Lose two out of three to the third-worst team in baseball. Shitty starting pitching, shitty relief pitching, shitty hitting with runners in scoring position, over and over and over and over ... Just pathetic.
The Mets are calling up pitching prospect Jonah Tong. Tong has a 1.43 ERA in 22 starts in the minors this season. He will start on Friday!
Bottom 9..man on 1st+2nd no outs! Come on! Bases loaded nobody out! No excuse not to win this game. Let’s GO! The Mets win!
Well, that was pretty much a perfectly-played game by the team in all facets. Nolan McLean has done something that Tom Seaver didn't do, Jerry Koosman didn't do, Dwight Gooden didn't do, Jacob deGrom didn't do - that no Mets pitcher has ever done: win his first three major league starts.
It’s looking like if the Mets had traded Vientos to the Sox, it would’ve gone down as one of the stupidest moves this organization made. I was relieved that didn’t end up happening. Can these pitching call up save our season? We shall see!
yeah, it's definitely some sort of jinx... at least they no longer have ownership that will lets him walk come pay day (Wheeler) and it's looking like Jobu has finally woken up their bats
Somehow you knew they would follow up a perfectly-played game against a good team with a poorly-played game (5 unearned runs) against a bad one. Sigh.
Now they they handled the Braves & Phillies, I can see them getting swept by the Marlins. This is the type of year it's been.
