Mets center fielder Jose Siri was diagnosed with a fractured left tibia, manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters following tonight’s win over Minnesota (relayed by Newsday’s Tim Healey). He’ll go on the 10-day injured list tomorrow and is surely in line for a lengthy absence.

that's probably going to end Siri's year, which is only going to further test the Mets' already-limited lineup depth

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.

I mean I guess? He’s not exactly a middle of the order guy.

Black Hole Batty will be gone as soon as McNiels is off rehab. And the way Torrens is playing to need to rush Alvarez back.

JT got an insane called strike 3 against him that was like half a foot off the plate and he reacted pretty strongly to it

It does stink, Siri doesn't have much of a bat but he's an excellent fielder. And now the Mets really only have Tyrone Taylor to play CF. Taylor is an OK backup, but not much of a starter. Nimmo played 20+ games in CF last year, so you play Marte in LF, Nimmo in CF, and Soto in RF, but that's one of the worst OF defenses in baseball.. And they don't really have anyone on the farm who they can bring up. They had Luisangel Acuña play ~250 innings at CF in AAA last year, and other than him, Nimmo, and Taylor there's no CF on the 40-man.

It's a tibia fracture, rather than a break, so I don't think this is a year ending injury.

I have total confidence Jed Hoyer and his team are working on ways to solve this issue and also that their solution will end up being trading for Ryan Stanek or something else similarly terrible

All bullpens are bad, it's not like every single one of them would be a starter if they were good enough. No one grows up dreamng about getting 3 outs in the bottom of the sixth to preserve a 4 run lead.

So apparently the Braves broadcast crew all teamed up to harass a female fan for her number during an interview, in order to "get us some more Braves fans."

Extremely normal and not all insane behavior, thank you Atlanta.

I haven't been on Twitter in a while and it's pretty clear reading the responses to this that it's become a (bigger) echo chamber for loving assholes. Everyone who doesn't respond to everything with "Lighten up" is long gone.

The Dads closer Estrada is a former Cubs top prospect they unceremoniously dumped off their roster for nothing because he struggled for ~10 innings in 2023 and he immediately went on to figure it out and become one of the most dominant relievers in the game with tippy top shelf stuff.

I cannot stress enough how loving worthless our FO is, lmao.

Estrada was closing that day because the normal guy, Robert Suarez was resting. The 5 high leverage guys have given up 6 runs in 42 innings of work. Suarez is 7 for 7 in closing situations, 0 runs, 2 hits, 2 BB, 9ks

Pressly: 8.0 IP, 6.16 FIP, 2.125 WHIP
Pearson: 8.2 IP, 7.65 FIP, 2.308 WHIP
Morgan: 7.1 IP, 8.49 FIP, 2.045 WHIP

Those 3 pitchers have 3 of the top 4 relief innings pitched on the Cubs. Porter Hodge, easily the Cubs' best reliever, has also thrown 8.0 relief innings.

With how fast Waingro ran out of that diner parking lot I can see the parallels.

Sneaky SEC speed right there, maybe Waingro ran track at LSU or something

Keider Montero up from AAA to start tomorrow, according to Hinch it's to 'set the rotation back a day'? I don't understand what this means or how it works, are we just gonna rock six starters for a while or are we sending someone down? Do we just bench them? Will Montero be with us for a while?

Anyway it'll be interesting to get a look at where he's at, hopefully in a good spot. I've seen nothing but good news from Toledo about him.
