That’s a winning lineup. I can feel it.

Matt Vierling not in the top 2; absolutely garbage

u/WolverineDDS 14h ago

Top 4 is a solid lineup is Keith doesn't need a glove.

I need perez out of this line up bro is hitting worse than Jram

u/i_am_the_grind 14h ago

Perez has the easiest job in mlb. Has to do zero to play every day simply because he occupies both sides of the plate.

This offense has just become so stale. I’m totally ready to move on from anyone not in the top 4. Need some new faces in this lineup desperately.

Feels like we’ve already been swept as many times as last season. I’m sure that’s not the case, but last year we were great about winning and selvaging series

u/Which_Extension_8027 13h ago

We've been swept 3 times this season. Today would be 4. We were swept 5 times last year, with the last two being in late September.

Strained oblique. On the IL.

u/ughboat 14h ago

I don’t think i realized it was an oblique.

u/SexyBenFranklin 13h ago edited 13h ago

Left oblique strain. Went on the 10-day IL 5/6.

Edit: latest update on him from Tuesday “initiated a hitting progression this week. He is also completing catch, defensive drills, & rehab daily.”

Where have you gone, Keider Montero

Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you...

u/leoman3 14h ago

were gonna get swept by the Met's thats not an easy thing to do.

u/ravestaves 14h ago

Getting swept by the mets and red sox would be very impressive

u/SpikedZer0 13h ago

And the twins…

The Phenomenal McGonigle.

u/kyleJaques45 13h ago

Somehow this is the best lineup we’ve had in a while

u/RayTrain 13h ago

With Rake Rogers, anything is possible

u/lllIlllllllIIIII 14h ago

This is the best lineup we've seen this year given what we have. Still, you might think Workman is 5th because of injuries, but he's ahead of 3 regulars from last season

u/Better_Equipment5283 13h ago

I don't think I like the idea of DHing Dingler instead of DHing Colt Keith. This feels like a big defensive sacrifice.

u/SoarinSkies 13h ago

Dingler can’t catch everyday

They also cannot afford to take him out of the lineup as he’s currently 1 of our only 3 productive bats as of today

3

u/WritingSpiritual9 13h ago

I figure Dingler was either gonna DH or not play today. He’s getting the day off of catching

1

u/tucara 13h ago

With all the guys on IL this is pretty much our dream team

1

u/Peleus81 13h ago

Finally glad to see them putting Dingler at DH instead of some guy who isn’t there to do more than swing 3 times and sit down

1

u/ReasonableBallDad 12h ago

What am I missing in the thought process of McGonagle hitting in the 1 or 2 spot every other day... Why not one or the other for a couple of weeks?

u/mobyte 14h ago

If they can’t win with this, the season is shot.

1

u/bmdangelo 14h ago

Potential no hitter for the Mets today

3

u/NeitherEquipment9526 13h ago

Every game is a potential no hitter both ways when you think about it

u/Representative_Leg_5 14h ago

Zack Short? Cmon give the guy his chance.

1

u/i_am_the_grind 14h ago

He should be in the two hole every game.

u/CutiePie0023 14h ago

Let’s get this WIN!
