Mets Win Again While Everyone Loses, McNeil Hits the IL

[@campbeja001]

PUT IT IN THE BOOKS!! In the last 87 games, Mets are 56W 31L which I believe is best record in MLB over that span Over last 72 innings (8 games) Mets have not trailed competition!! is that a Mets record? Longest streak in majors! 10 double plays in last 5 games 9th win in a row (most wins since 2018), 14 games over .500 Over last 9 games, bullpen era 0.66, starting era 2.14, team 4.9 runs/game. Team OPS .750, Opposition .550 Nice outing Quintana. You are back! 100th Career Win. First Columbian born pitcher to achieve this feat! 6 2/3 innings, 0 runs, only 5 H Manea, Sevy, Petersen, Quintana....starting 4 looking great!! When Senga comes back...World Series!! Mets are 1 Game ahead of Atlanta, 0.5GB Diamondbacks and 2GB San Diego!

Let's go Mets they could do it they are very successful right now keep it like that and the good players I'm a very Mets fan winning or loose God Bless all of them and the best of Luck

Iglesias is a true professional ball player. Legitimate glove that has proven his value around the younger guys

[@LockedOnMets]

He’s been so much more valuable than anyone could have thought. Both in terms of play and culture.

[@dashx1103]

@@edwincruz1397 Yeah. What a great contribution he’s made. I remember way back when he emerged with the Tigers as a SS - great glove, light bat. To see him now, this deep into his career, as a quality 2b/3b who is a clutch hitter … remarkable career arc.

[@locoman888]

Good thing with Jeff out!

[@locoman888]

Bring up Acuna to bolster infield.

[@frontier6937]

won't skip a beat without McNeil - the team will actually improve with Iglesias playing full time. Great glove, good bat, good speed - great team guy. He turns the DP better than anyone in the league. Quick release, strong and extremely accurate arm.

[@TheMacdod]

It will be OMG all the way to Jeff returning in the NLCS. LFGM!

[@mrfiness]

Rey ordonez and Edgardo Alfonso was a special combination up the middle! Let’s go Mets!!

[@dashx1103]

@@mrfiness Ordonez was amazing on defense. It’s a shame he never found his bat. And Alfonso was a legit player, both ways.

[@McBlamRacing]

I was thinking the same thing. Mets had the best infield with Ordonez, Alfonzo, Ventura and Olerud.

[@stanfromwestport2024]

Great to see Bader smiling and getting the OMG treatment in the dugout. Bader is like the Dos Equis Guy...."I don't hit much, but when I do I prefer Home Runs"...LOL

[@LockedOnMets]

It would be huge for him to break out of his slump. That home run was huge for the team, giving them the lead late.

[@jamesbuckley8917]

Mets giving up less than 1.8 runs/game during this 9 game winning streak.

[@LockedOnMets]

It’s crazy to think the rotation used to be the weak part of the team. Now they’re the clear strength.

[@dashx1103]

@@jamesbuckley8917 Gotta give a lot of credit to Stearns. I doubt anyone thought Severino and Manaea would be this successful - I certainly didn’t. He’s also made some sneaky good bullpen moves. Reed Garrett? Never heard of him before this season. Ditto Nunez. Picking up Maton for nothing was a stroke of genius. Winker was a great pick up. Without selling out the future, and despite lots of injuries - Senga, Raley, Reid-Foley, Nunez, McNeil, Marte, etc., etc. - this team is a legit contender. I have enormous faith in Stearns regardless of how this season turns out in the end. Imagine where this team might be if just Senga and Raley were healthy all year. I love this team. And In Stearns I Trust.

[@jamesbuckley8917]

Pete runs like a person running down hill, almost losing his balance every step.

[@jamesbuckley8917]

So much for your idea of pitching Manaea only on regular rest, he is now scheduled to get 5 days off in 2 of his last 4 rotation turns.

[@eugenebrown3578]

Rey Ordonez and Edguardo Alfonso were the best in my lifetime. This gets me just excited though.

Rey on defense was better than anyone ever. Equal to Ozzie, evne better hands

[@eugenebrown3578]

Nice prediction Ryan! LFGM!!

[@Cheryworld]

Still can't understand how Iglesias was out of Majors for a year and a half. Always a good contact hitter, and a magical glove. The analysts were way off on defense statistics, sometimes seems like they never saw a game played.

[@dashx1103]

Agree. Just last year he hit .292 - in over 100 games - with the Rockies. That nobody wanted him on a MLB contract surprises me. Glad the Mets grabbed him. Hope they bring him back next season.

[@Cheryworld]

@@dashx1103 that was 2022 he hit .292 for Colorado, last year he was out of the majors, playing AAA for the Padres. Makes no sense. Spent 10 years playing short stop, always hitting around .285, and great glove

@@Cheryworld My bad. I read that all wrong. Thanks for the correction.

[@eliworldwide]

Ezra lives in a world where the Mets have never lost. That’s actually insane 😂😂Thank you Ezra!!!

[@inversionesincia5754]

Hope they can assemble an infield like John Olerud, Edgardo Alfonso, Rey Ordóñez and Robin Ventura, best infield in the game back in the 2000's

[@marcrapaccuiolo2406]

What makes me think something special is happening is Lindor has 2 bad games with the bat and they still win as other guys and the pitching picks him up LFGM

[@docnoc66]

Good morning- Ryan 😊 well the win wagon keeps rolling on… Quintana got his groove back - thoughts on McNeil injury and impact on race?

[@alandesgrange9703]

At some point the win steak ends. Just push it aside, and get back to it. No extended lose streak, and we're playoff bound.

A huge possible windfall would be Senga coming back in form. Imagine! It's still pitching, pitching pitching. I like our chances. I would love to see Alvarez righting his boat. His bat could super charge this team about now.

[@forever10gaming]

2 out rbi's with this club have been impressive

[@jaymuse127]

By the way...my crazy self fought for Lindor turning it around and Mets getting 87 - 93 wins for the season....no more nay sayers unless they are trying to reverse jinx. 14 in a row

[@dashx1103]

I never lost faith in Lindor - even great players have slumps. He’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer. But I admit that when the Mets bottomed out at 11 under .500, I thought it was a lost season. I’m proud of how this team came back. Regardless of how it ends, I love this team.

[@Unconsciouzone]

When he runs the bases Alonso always looks like he's going to faceplant trying to find the next gear. I'm always concerned he's going to pull something. Awkward looking as hell. 😝
