I agree. They are not nearly as fun to watch since the first week of the season when they were actually winning games.

.154 hitting Murphy has 4 RBIs. What is wrong with this team? The game all lack of playing hard. Stupid baseball plays.

So to recap: Frediot doesn't know when to bring the infield in, and AJ let a 600-pound pitcher hawk him down.

I'd rather the front office let its bad decision, aka Fredi, go.

If we lose today we'll need to go on a 9 game winning streak to match our 17-7 start from last year.

Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
I've always had that suspicion, for some reason.

If the Mets make the playoffs this year they better send us a nice Christmas card, lol.

If we can't beat Niese, Gee and Colon. How are we supposed to do against Harvey and deGrom?

Fredi on Tehran: "He just looks a little lost out there, someone said his knee hurt, I didn't see it, so it shook him a little, lost his confidence. That's good. You don't know how a player will handle adversity until he has to deal with it, this is his first little hiccup up here and he's not getting it done. He needs to get tougher, stronger, better and work through it instead of fighting it. We'll run him out there in 5 days and see what he's got."
Fredi on Gomes vs righties: "We don't know what we got until it is proven what he is capable of. Up until this point, we didn't know, and we still don't know, so we'll throw him out there on occasion and see what happens. You never know."

It's a good rule, though I don't always like the way it's currently called.
You can't block any other base without having the ball, so I've always felt it was dumb that at the plate suddenly a catcher can just lay down in front. What I don't like is when a catcher is technically in front of the plate but still gets the ball well before the runner is there and they call it anyway. It should only come into play when the catcher is there before the ball as the runner is making a slide or attempt at the plate.
This one was a little borderline because he was standing slightly in from of the plate but there was still room to slide under him. Still ok with it, though. Again, you can't do that at any other base.
If you want to go back to being able to block but also being able to truck the catcher, fine. But they're never again going to allow that, so you have to have this rule. Otherwise you have a situation where catchers can block and the runner has to try to simply go around. If AJ can't run over him, then he can't be there.
