Diaz 10.50 ERA in seven games, surgery out till 2nd half
McNeil .266 .351 .344 mainly against RHP
Nimmo 311 .386 .522 we all know he isnt hitting .300 this year. Calm down
Sproat 58 ERA+
Jett .654 OPS in AAA
Bichette 217 .255 .283
Williams 7.11 ERA in 7 games
Robert 257 .366 .371
Polanco hurt
Semien 234 .294 .312
Peralta 95 ERA+
Weaver 6.23 ERA
I mean...I think it all looks like a pretty big dumpster fire. If you think Nimmo is all of sudden a .300 hitter, ill take that money off your hands. No way he hits .300 all year. Its all trash right now because IT'S APRIL!!
Nolan goes 7+ with 1ER and 10+ Ks. He keeps the Mets in the game at least. No prediction here. If Soto is back the losing streak ends as he homers twice in his first game back. Mets win 2-1.
I get the anger over how lifeless they’ve looked. I do. (By some act of baseball providence, I was in the front-row field level seats at Saturday’s game at Wrigley, and I can personally confirm the pulse rate was dropping by the inning. Blood oxygen wasn’t great either. I’ve been watching The Pitt too much.)
But I’m not buying the full-blown panic. I’m not an “it’s early” guy, and I’m not carrying water for Stearns either. Still—some perspective. Last offseason, many of the same people now screaming were chanting “sign every free agent alive” or demanding a shake-up. Well, why exactly preserve a core of Pete, McNeil, Nimmo, and Díaz that produced one nice run in 2024, an epic collapse in 2022, and not much else over five years?
If the old group wasn’t getting it done, change was always coming.
So maybe give this more than a few chilly April nights before declaring Stearns the inventor of New Coke. And the “Fire Mendoza!” crowd? That’s like firing your cardiologist because he told you the cholesterol numbers stink.
Finally, to the “Just Mets” merchants of despair: bring more analysis. Noise is easy. Insight takes work.

Thanks for gathering up those interesting stats.
Thank you for that perspective, William.

Haha! That's fun! I think the Mets walk it off as Dykstra plows into the catcher on a suicide squeeze executed by Backman...
Lenny just returned to Citi for the first time ever a week or so ago. Never know! Lmao
The way the rest of the cast is hitting, Soto isn't going to see many swing at pitches
Fire Mendy!

Hahahahaha
Lindor hit a home run. Other than that, they had three hits.
McLean looked unhittable until he wasn't. Gave up three runs. Not enough after you are ahead 3-0. Have to shut them down.
Closer looked horrible.
Game 1 vs Twins: best players didn't quite step up.
