You can’t tell me that the Braves don’t try harder against the Mets.
Mets Split Double-Header with Braves, Lose Series
Let’s just keep it real: the Braves not only own us right now, but they’re just better too.
There’s No Way Freddie Freeman Becomes A Met
Even with an outfield that already includes Marte, Canha and Brandon Nimmo, new manager Buck Showalter acknowledged that the team has considered making another addition to the outfield. In an appearance on The Michael Kay Show Thursday, ESPN‘s Buster Olney delivered perhaps an even more concerning development for the Phillies:
“This was the most interesting thing that I heard. There’s a perception in the industry that Freddie Freeman is not going back to the Braves,” Olney said. “Last summer, that was assumed, like ‘Yeah, eventually he’ll go back there.’ Now, they don’t believe that, and here’s an interesting thing. One of the teams that checked in on the Freddie Freeman availability before December 2 were the Mets.” Freeman has spent his entire 12-year career with the Atlanta Braves to this point, making five All-Star teams, winning the 2020 NL MVP and helping the franchise to capture the 2021 World Series title.
First of all, the Braves would be fools to let a perennial All-Star like Freeman go. Secondly, we already have a pretty good 1st baseman and I can’t imagine what acquiring Freeman (who’s a better defensive player) and forcing him to move to DH, would do to Pete Alonso’s psyche. Lastly, the Mets are better off going after a 3rd starter and Kris Bryant, not Freeman who in all intents and purposes would most likely be signed by the Dodgers if he’s really going anywhere.
Mets Waste Yet Another Stellar Jacob deGrom Start
This continues to amaze me. How the Mets bats go silent seemingly a majority of the time when their ace deGrom is on the mound. And last night the Braves had Mike Foltynewicz on the hill, their 4th or 5th starter with a 5-plus ERA coming in and they could only get two hits off the guy in 7 innings with deGrom himself provided them with their only run via a HR…smh
Mickey Callaway Doing His Best To Ruin Mets Season
Steven Matz retires 14 Braves in a row on only 79 pitches and Callaway takes him out of the game. And yes, Seth Lugo might’ve blown the game anyway, but there was just no conceivable reason to take out Matz so early, esp. when there was no Lugo was pitching 3 innings and your closer situation is so up in the air. Yet, the idiot that is Mickey Callway said he’d ‘100%’ do it again.
