2K24: New York Mets

[Judge Jude]

well, I think it was a rubber baseball, so you both win!

[virgonomic]

This is amazing. A fan is holding the ball right behind the umpire's back!

[chancellor]

Swarzak off the DL. Will he close?

I would say yes.

[revo]

Jeff McNeil is an amazing hitter. Up to .341 now. If he’s somehow still available in your league and you can keep him, you need to jump on him now. He’s definitely the Mets everyday 2B next year.

[revo]

I would say yes.

I’m rescinding this. Gsellman is closing for the remainder of the season.

[Judge Jude]

probably.

but Lugo was elite again tonight. FILTHY curveball and sneaky 97 mph fastball.

both are worth owning, depending on the format

[Judge Jude]

allowed a 3-run triple tonight, but if he exits, he still made all of his owners happy unless they cut bait too early

PHILADELPHIA — Zack Wheeler’s season, which began in the minors and ends as by far the best of his career, might be over.

Manager Mickey Callaway said Monday that the Mets will discuss shutting Wheeler down because of workload concerns. From 2015-17, Wheeler threw 87 1/3 innings. This year, he is up to 187 1/3 after tossing seven innings of four-run ball in a 9-4 win over the Phillies.

“We want to make sure we’re taking care of the player,” Callaway said.

Your eyes are not deceiving you — that was indeed David Wright pinch-hitting tonight, as he’ll play in his final games this weekend.

Doug Melvin eliminated from consideration.


Also, the Mets 2nd best pitching prospect, Franklyn Kilome, who was acquired in the Asdrubal Cabrera deal, needs TJ surgery and will be out 18 months.

Player agent Brodie Van Wagenen to be named the Mets GM. Interesting.

[Judge Jude]

Brodie's father-in-law was Neil Armstrong.

sadly, his wife's name is NOT Alice.

would be a great Mets black-and-white commercial. Brodie - in a fat suit - gets frustrated in their living room by her questioning the latest Mets trade.

fed up, Brodie finally gets up, eyes bulging, and pronounces, "TO THE MOON, ALICE!"

What’s interesting is that he represents many Mets players, including Jacob deGrom. It’s not unprecedented for a club to name an agent as GM, but in this day and age of analytics, I wonder how he fares.

That's a good question. Scott Boras and his company are very analytics based, but Dave Stewart didn't appear to be. I'm not sure where Van Wagenen falls in that spectrum.
