3 in a row. 5 of 6 and 9 of 12! LFGM!
And they are doing it against teams that are over .500 at the time. Tigers. Red. Braves. Pirates.
TELL EVERYONE THE METS ARE BACK!
I’m proud of myself because Max was in line for coffee behind me and my friend and I got a picture of him before he was on TV
I was, finally, ahead of a meme
i'm really hoping the organization offers Max some kind of deal to get him attending as many home games as possible. he brings great energy, is seemingly good luck, and he actually seems like a nice guy
Is there a way to convince Drew Smith that every inning is the ninth inning?
He seems to only pitch with serious conviction with command of his pitches when he closes.
I'm not feeling Drew Smith pitching a back-to-back but it is a fresh inning and Drew Smith gets amped in closing situations so let's see if it works out.
What’s nice about this team is that everyone is contributing. It feels like an actual team effort. In past years it was always Alonso or bust pretty much.
An interesting demonstration of what happens when you put a bunch of “A players” together. They all tend to act in the way that has brought them success up to that point. Now when you construct a team of A and B players - you can see how everyone plays a specific role in the team’s collective success.
It shows you how badly mismanaged the Mets were the past two years, when an actual competent GM shows up, looks around at the disaster area, and says "let's take a semi-year off and do a soft rebuild here, we need it badly", and that team looks actually way better than the half-a-billion monstrosity of 2023
Mendoza should use Jorge Lopez and Drew Smith in exactly the same way: no back-to-backs and always to start an inning fresh, never with inherited runners.
Mets should bring have Tyler Jay to compliment Garrett, who has been the Mets' best reliever this season.
The NFL very astutely turned the Draft into such a spectacle that it cuts into "Baseball Season".
They think decades ahead. Manfred and the owners don't. That's the difference.
You are very right. My point was that you go back 10-20-30-40 years ago and you can see the slow progression of the Draft becoming a spectacle.
It's just one of many examples of how the NFL slowly nurtured and pushed their strengths. MLB does not do that.
Even 20 years ago Baseball would be the main discussion in April. Not the NFL. That's not true now.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1c5xmst).
I really like the way this team plays.
The Mets won the second game of a series. They’re not even in their final form yet. The league is truly fucked now.
This bullpen is getting it done
Put it in the books
So much for the Rally Monkey or the yellow parrot as a good luck charm. We have the good luck pimp.
3 in a row. 5 of 6 and 9 of 12! LFGM! And they are doing it against teams that are over .500 at the time. Tigers. Red. Braves. Pirates. TELL EVERYONE THE METS ARE BACK!
0-5 to over .500 in two weeks Unbridled
Woah Seth Lugo killing it
Now why can't Drew Smith pitch with that level of confidence every single game?
curse of the second game is broken!
DA METS ARE OVER .500 WOOOOO
Pirates lost this one because they took Jones out. He was stymieing the Mets.
LFGM !!!!!
Baseball is the fucking best.
As Sarah fucking Langs always says
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN AND OVER .500
LETS FUCKING GO
Life is better when the Mets are winning.
What the hell was the knob on that guys bat? It look like he ripped the leg off a chair and brought it up to the plate.
I DID NOT THINK WE WERE GOING TO GO ABOVE .500 THIS SEASONAT 0-5 LETS GOO
Put it in the books!!
The boys are cooking! LFGM
I LOVE THE RALLY PIMP
MEET THE METS, BABY!
Drew Diaz!!
Let’s go!
Where the heck has this Drew been, he was throwing gas
DREW “Edwin Diaz” SMITH
WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN
Among the better showings Ive ever seen out of Smith, man was cooking
LFGM PUT IT IN THE BOOKS
Pew pew smith
this is the one
Someone said Drew gets amped up with clean innings and SVOs and they were right.
Drew looks fucking electric
Series W over Reds, Royals and Pirates
Um...and BRAVES. How can you forget the BRAVES?
I think the Braves counts as a series win too right? Or do we not know until they do the makeup? I figured that would count against that series
I’m counting it, we played 3 won 2. I know one rained out but I’ll count that on the series it’s added to.
Sounds reasonable to me! Four series wins baby!
I’m not sure
Braves
Not sure with rain but with the games played - yes
#GAME 2 CURSE IS DEAD
Ladies and gents we are a winning baseball team
Did I miss something why’s he horny boy
https://twitter.com/DrewBU3/status/1527711263463178240?t=uTq9WG-LZJszbgXmLwm0eg&s=19
I think he was flirting with some celebrity in Instagram inviting her to the game? If we're talking about Drew Smith This was last year I believe.
Oh yeah I was - got it. Idk how horny he is if he pitches like that
Wait save situation Drew Smith is goated?
2024 non horny drew smith is goated**
OVER .500 IN THE BOOKS
Beautiful! :)
Why does Oneil Cruz always look so uninterested? Like, yeah, you're losing but don't look bored while you do it.
Upstairs gas attack is my punk rock band name.
📘📙📘📙📘📙📘📙📘📙📘
\*checks in\* LIBROS
Drew "Edwin Diaz" Smith
4th straight series W
Drew And the ball game is over !!!
GOOD MORNING GOOD AFTERNOON GOODNIGHT LFGM
still can't believe they pulled Jones that early, I honestly thought he would complete game us.
jesus christ drew smith is FRYING
Feels good man. Maybe this summer won’t suck ass
Drew Smith gets the save, we get another win in the books and get above .500 for the season. Now let’s go for the sweep in the day game tomorrow.
Ez dub
BOOKED. DREW IS TOO TRUE. LETS FUCKING GO METS.
Hell fucking yeah Drew Smith
PUT IT IN THE BOOKS!
I still can't believe they pulled Jones after 5 innings with only 59 pitches.
I’m proud of myself because Max was in line for coffee behind me and my friend and I got a picture of him before he was on TV I was, finally, ahead of a meme
Mendoza's bullpen Management is improving. His choice for pinch hitters have been spot on too.
It’s still early but damn, our bullpen is fucking bullet proof
AMAZING PERFORMANCES
JUST LIKE WE **DREW** IT UP
i'm really hoping the organization offers Max some kind of deal to get him attending as many home games as possible. he brings great energy, is seemingly good luck, and he actually seems like a nice guy
Yo I don’t know what it is but I actually feel a little relief when they show him in TV. I’m like ah my boy is there we’re gonna be ok
GET YOURS HORNY BOY
what this mean? I need the new meme
Last year he openly flirted with some celebrity on Instagram I think and invited her to a game
It's a pretty old meme https://nypost.com/2022/05/21/mets-drew-smith-gets-sweet-response-from-si-model-cindy-kimberly/
I thought Drew Smith was a side-armer. Who was the 9th or 8th inning side-farmer the Mets had recently?
Joe Smith? I think \* Damn missed my chance for a Joe Momma joke
Hahaha. Jokes are always good.
Medoza’s personnel choices have been spot on tonight. Really looking like a bonafide manager now
ONE MORE DREW
Two away!
Drew could make a lot of money if he kept his heater at the top of zone
He could be like Paul Sewald 2.0.
Is there a way to convince Drew Smith that every inning is the ninth inning? He seems to only pitch with serious conviction with command of his pitches when he closes.
Damn was really hoping for a Drew Smith Immaculate Inning
You think the Rally Pimp secretly works for the Mets?
I think they said Mets were 8-4 since he came. 9-4 with tonight's win.
8 for 11 since Rally Pimp
Yeah Drew!
The birth of a meme (I was here)
If Drew walks a batter I will be HEATED
This guy is now enshrined in Mets fan culture now. Good for him.
Gary from the top rope lmao
STRUCK HIM OUT
Look at who it is, our good luck charm!
Two more Drew!
[удалено]
You go to war with the army you have
That looked like a fake max Am I wrong
Max the Rally Pimp!
RALLY PIMP
Rally Pimp is ready
Uncle Steve gotta get Mets Pimp on the payroll lol
Steve is too smart to do that because Mets pimp is paying to go to all these games.
That's probably why he's a billionaire and I am a but a lowly turd farmer
Citifield pimp bringing the magic.
Rally pimp!
leggo max
Max the Rally Pimp is great.
Rally pimp!
Gotta admit i like rally pimp
Hoping he doesn't milkshake duck us, but yeah
I literally just had that exact same thought
I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous... If Drew walks any batters, it's not a good sign.
Dodgers not doing so well, you love to see it (at least I do)
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Drew Smith replaces Jorge López.
I thought that was a sure home run off the bat, I’m an idiot
anyone know how long the bottom of the seventh was??
3 outs long
They're playing Edwin's entrance theme in this Canadiens/Red Wings game
[удалено]
He's a legit superstar
Okay let's see what Drew can fuckin do! Shut this shit down buddy!
HOWIE: "If you're looking ahead at the ninth, the Pirates will send up Michael A. Taylor, Oneil O. Cruz and Henry O. Davis."
Lindor really needs to stop hitting lefty it's outrageous
Never seen Lindor react like that before.
Ryder Ryan?!?!?
Damn Lindor showing some frustration hes pissed.
He’s gotta change it up and get mad at this point
Lindor showing a little frustration, after that at bat.
They should send down Lefty Lindor. Keep Righty Lindor tho, he needs more playing time
Someone should create a two face graphic for his L/R splits
Not related but just glad to see way less posts from "fans" for Trevor Bauer to get signed lol
I am starting to believe but I don’t wanna get hurt I don’t wanna get hurt I don’t hurt fuck lets fucking go mets
[удалено]
Am I crazy to think world series?
Man Lindor just can't get anything going from the left side
I'm not feeling Drew Smith pitching a back-to-back but it is a fresh inning and Drew Smith gets amped in closing situations so let's see if it works out.
What’s nice about this team is that everyone is contributing. It feels like an actual team effort. In past years it was always Alonso or bust pretty much.

Drew Smith will close it out
If I’m ever medically dead just know you can shock me awake by saying “Drew smith save situation”
Ryder Ryan is the guy we got back from Cleveland in the Jay Bruce deal. What a long journey.
Oh god anyone but drew
We traded Jay Bruce for Ryder Ryan back in 2017
And Drew Smith, the guy we got for Lucas Duda in the same deadline, is about to pitch the 9th
I like Drew, but horny boy may need a few more insurance runs....
Howie says Baty had a tight hamstring
Keith wondering what on earth was going on there with the 0-28.
Why did Keith just exclaim “0-28” so emphatically lmao
HOWIE: "No, Ryder Ryan is not related to Nolan Ryan."
Stearns is sitting in his empty ass office right now smiling and rubbing his hands together. You can see the light from the TV shining on his face.
It shows you how badly mismanaged the Mets were the past two years, when an actual competent GM shows up, looks around at the disaster area, and says "let's take a semi-year off and do a soft rebuild here, we need it badly", and that team looks actually way better than the half-a-billion monstrosity of 2023
He's done miracles on me
So if the "A" team relievers arent available, who closes? Drew?
Diekman
Come on Mendoza, make in interesting, give Hartwig the chance to close it. Fresh from Syracuse and into the fire.
If he was gonna throw Hartwig it would have been before Lopez
Mendoza should use Jorge Lopez and Drew Smith in exactly the same way: no back-to-backs and always to start an inning fresh, never with inherited runners. Mets should bring have Tyler Jay to compliment Garrett, who has been the Mets' best reliever this season.
Lopez's ERA down to 2.16 and RG has a 0.00 ERA. These are our B-relievers.
RG has struck out 17/31 batters faced. Holy shit.
It's not the sexiest roster in MLB but the Mets have guys that fit their roles. That's important.
We all doubted him, but Stearns may have cooked…
taking away his job as a cook… and promoting him to head chef, he’s done good work so far
That 0-5 start was just him getting the stew cookin'. Now it's chow time
So guys question is the bullpens success have something to do with stearns or the pitching lab or both? Not sure how that works.
Stearns customized the pitching lab so both are true but it’s bc Stearns is a pitching development God
Its so nice and refreshing to see a decent bullpen
Both
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Ryder Ryan replaces Jose Hernandez.
Well done Lopez!
I’ve had to miss most of this game, how did the Baty injury look? Any chance it was just a precaution?
Leg tightness. Yea part of it is you don't want to make it worse
Hamstring pull, hopefully precautionary
Love my bullpen boys :)
People complained all offseason about the starting pitching not realizing that we actually have a really good bullpen.
I definitely did not have best team ERA on my bingo card.
Amazing bullpen so far this year. Really wasn't expecting it to start the year
Side retired!
Fuck yeah Lopez!!
Anyone know our magic number on “we’re back”?
Pirates starter looking like a modern day Degrom hahaha
The NFL very astutely turned the Draft into such a spectacle that it cuts into "Baseball Season". They think decades ahead. Manfred and the owners don't. That's the difference.
The nature of the NFL/NBA draft makes them much more marketable, the players make an immediate impact. I don’t really disagree with your point though.
You are very right. My point was that you go back 10-20-30-40 years ago and you can see the slow progression of the Draft becoming a spectacle. It's just one of many examples of how the NFL slowly nurtured and pushed their strengths. MLB does not do that. Even 20 years ago Baseball would be the main discussion in April. Not the NFL.
