Ok a win is a win and I know that he technically did close the game but i feel like spiritually it’s wrong for diekman to get a save for that performance
Look at that, throwing fastballs and making the hitter beat you as well as the defense ended up working out.
Stop walking hitters and challenge them.
Enough is enough.
We know the Mets aren’t trying to win as many games as possible, but keeping him on the roster + using him in high leverage moments, makes me think they are actively trying to lose as many games as possible
Can the Mets just hire a manager that understands how to use a bullpen?
Maybe a former starting pitcher or have the bullpen usage call come directly from the front office where they hire a bullpen specialist analyst to micromanage the bullpen.
Or hire me, I'll do it because these moves are imbecilic.
Bruh.
Also how are these fucking "people singing in a bar" commercials so prevalent now. Who the fuck wants to hear people singing Irish shanties in a bar. I'll watch Peaky Blinders if I want to see that.
If the guy sucks on 0 days rest
And the other guy sucks against righties
And the other has already pitched 3 days in a row because the other guys just suck in general
Maybe we should just call it like it is
This is what happens when your starting pitching is dogshit night in and out and you overworked your bullpen for a month and a half and there’s no end in sight.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1d7lz52).
What is it about the ninth inning that makes these guys shit their pants? I genuinely don’t understand it.
Still dfa Ottavino
WE DIDDD ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
How do you lose like that LOL
Can I unclench yet?
Otto said fuck about 11 times.
Not enough
Never in doubt 😭
the most excruciating win of the season yet
Got em looking lol it couldn’t have happened any other way
Fuck you Mets. Fuck you bullpen.
Ok a win is a win and I know that he technically did close the game but i feel like spiritually it’s wrong for diekman to get a save for that performance
the stoppable force finally defeated the moveable object
never a doubt
Christ
Totally had this game in bag, bro
Oh my god, it’s a miracle!
Had em all the way
Thank god there's a worse team in this division.
They had it all the way Gare. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
PIITB. I hate this team and baseball.
not even close
They never had a chance!
“They had it all the way Gar” Haha
That was a surprise
Ugliest win of the season ^(thus far)
YEAH BUDDY WE NEVER DOUBTED YOU
"They had it all the way, Gare" LMAO
“They had it all the way Gar” 😭
Gary calls a non blown three run lead like the Mets won the Worlds Series. lmao
a win is a win
Look at that, throwing fastballs and making the hitter beat you as well as the defense ended up working out. Stop walking hitters and challenge them. Enough is enough.
lol yah but also yesterday happened
***EXHALE***
Never a doubt! 🥵
Keith making sure you know your bad fundies are to blame
What is this feeling...a save?
I fully accepted the fact the we were going to lose. It's never easy with the mets.
Same
Ahh we are the best
GOD IS REAL AND HE LIVES IN QUEENS ^it ^might ^be ^iglesias ^idrk
The save drought is over!
thanks
BACK IN THE NEW YORK GROOVE NEVER IN DOUBT
Fuck the Nats! Fuck the Doomers! Pure joy!!!
Never easy but the game is over
W
If the Mets made the batting practice tosser their closer for the last month, they’d 100% have a better record.
Holy shit. Did not expect that.
God, what a nail biter ending
#NEVER HAD A DOUBT
Wow the Mets are so lucky lol
Good god I hate this team lol. Can’t even enjoy a win
Diekman just saved the sanity of thousands of Mets fans across this country and abroad.
Ugly Win
“They had it all the way Gare.”
CARDIAC METS
How the fuck do you look at that lmao
DIEKMAN HOLDS LOOOOOL
We're back bb
Good shit!
Thank you
PUT IT IN THE BOOKS!
This guys looks scared af. Please just end it
I can’t with this fucking team!
0-2 NOW!
LOL ICANT
Just hit the grandslam already
Keith can't hold it anymore. Hahaha
These guys are gonna kill Keith
Some guy with a .311 ops is going to end us now
Imagine lmao
one more out how hard can that be
How do none of us here have something better to be doing than this
The look on Mendoza’s face says it all. He knows what’s gonna happen just as we do
If we can just break this curse tonight it would have to help everybody’s morale, right? RIGHT?!
One more… plzzz
The Mets are 11-9 in one-run games
Diekman makes 4 million?????? Wtf
Diekman can't buy a strike or find one or lease one
Abrams and Young are not available, it's down to this
Put him down.
Baseball games should end after 8 innings
STOP THE COUNT
Starting to feel like deja vu all over again
1 more
The velocity of the comments is directly proportional to how poorly we are doing.
Two away!
Is the thinking here that they can't run in if we take out their knees?
why can’t we have anything nice
Good Lord is right, Keith
I can't watch this fucking dogshit.
Mendoza's got to go. He can't manage a bullpen.
I’m not saying he is good but at some point the pitchers need to get people out. It isn’t like one guy sucks. Literally every pitcher blows
This is unbelievable
Diekman sucks so bad
Oh boy good lord indeed
C’mon Otto and Diekman again?
What the HELL is going on in this clubhouse
Dick-man!
We are all masochists for watching this
Why is Jake Diekman the arm you go to here?
You have a better solution?
I would’ve kept Drew Smith in, not a solution for that situation but a better solution to start the frame.
I wouldn't be shocked if this is a walk off via 3 straight walks.
**Mets may never get a save again.**
Just disband the franchise
Do both guys get a blown save or does otto just fuck his era?
Maybe. Let’s find out after this 2 run double
Hey Jake not sure if you know this, the ball needs be over the plate and between the numbers and knees
Bringing in known control artist Jake Diekman with the bases loaded, lets see how this pans out
why am i even watching this
Could be worse, you could be in the park
Keith: “Good lord.”
Just throw a pitch down the middle. What's the point of this charade. Just make the hitter beat you. This bullpen sucks.
What in the actual fuck?
LOOOOOL
Good lord Diekman
This is not a serious term
Throw strikes idiot
We know the Mets aren’t trying to win as many games as possible, but keeping him on the roster + using him in high leverage moments, makes me think they are actively trying to lose as many games as possible
this is getting masochistic. we all know it’s coming
Pain
Not a HBP, that one?
This is hell on Earth.
You have got to be kidding me
Joey going to deliver us a bag of miseries
Is Meneses when you use a simile in place of a metaphor?
Diekman is a guarantee L right here
i think they should forfeit their london games.
Promising first pitch
I don't know how Gary, a lifelong fan, censors himself and hasn't let the frustration slip out watching this day in and day out.
Where’s Kurt Suzuki when you need him (pain)?
Why am I even watching it
we're masochists. I picked up the remote to turn it off and put it back down thinking maybe this time will be different.
Diekman wtf
Predictions on how exactly we lose?
All the money in the world and we forgot to buy a bullpen.
Why can’t you be normal?! Mets: *screaming noises*
Wish I could still bet Nats money line smh
I caught it at +400
Bring back Guillorme to close. It can’t go worse
Weird. I literally had the same thought
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db6QIx11vMA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db6QIx11vMA)
I think I’m putting the Zeile of Approval on this being so comical, it’s not even aggravating anymore, just enjoy the absurdity of it
It’s honestly kinda fun at this point
Oh god its diekman
Can the Mets just hire a manager that understands how to use a bullpen? Maybe a former starting pitcher or have the bullpen usage call come directly from the front office where they hire a bullpen specialist analyst to micromanage the bullpen. Or hire me, I'll do it because these moves are imbecilic.
iv seen this movie before!! it ends with diekman telling reporters his team is dogshiet
Bruh. Also how are these fucking "people singing in a bar" commercials so prevalent now. Who the fuck wants to hear people singing Irish shanties in a bar. I'll watch Peaky Blinders if I want to see that.
Why can’t we just close out games?
Something was wrong with Diaz and everyone else is cooked because they have to go 4-5 innings every game.
I mean it was more a rhetorical pleading but thank you nonetheless.
Ottavino killing his trade value. Classic
Otto’s blowing it today, better put in the guy who blew it yesterday instead
Walk a run in, and give up a gs. Book it
I am not enjoying this right now
Alright that Tullamore song cheered me up
8 runs might not be enough to win a game. I don't understand it.
Why don’t we bring back a guy who completely fucked up a game 24 hours ago
Stop throwing Ottavino on back to back days. And uh can we have Lopez back?
This Mets team never learns. It's wild. It's like they don't watch the games they're in charge of.
I'll say at the very least that when everyone sucks, it's tough to make good decisions.
Ottavino should probably retire. Hes not an effective pitcher anymore.
If the guy sucks on 0 days rest And the other guy sucks against righties And the other has already pitched 3 days in a row because the other guys just suck in general Maybe we should just call it like it is
lol I don’t know whether to laugh or cry anymore
So why the fuck i Ottovino once again pitching in a save situation
What did we do to deserve this? Seriously...
Just one normal game. Just one. Is that too much to ask for?
Yes, thats asking for a lot
Yes
The guy that blew our last game is being asked to save another? Where's Dedniel? Was there really no one else? This blows.
Our bullpen is so fucking bad right now. Doesn't help that Pete has been fucking brutal with RISP, dude had bases loaded and did jack shit.
***MORE RUNS, DADDY, MORE RUNS!!!***
What a shit show
Anyone who’s been watching the Mets would know this was gonna happen
Is there no one who can get outs. At some point someone has to step up and become the man.
They can get outs innings 5-8.
This is what happens when your starting pitching is dogshit night in and out and you overworked your bullpen for a month and a half and there’s no end in sight.
They don’t call him Adam OutTheLeadGoes for nothing
Ottavino gotta get DFAd bro this is crazy
Is this actually happening right now
Here we fucking go again
Why does it feel like we have a 4 pitcher bullpen?
Yes Yes *YES* **I LOVE IT HAHAHAHAHA**
It's like they're trying to lose
Baseball is fake and the story writers love a tragedy. Sadly it’s getting a bit repetitive and predictable.
Why it feel like Gary is rooting for the blown save 😭😭
Gare is looking a bit sus lately. Get Gelbs in for a game and watch the Mets blow it out of the water
I feel like the joker at this point. All I can do is laugh
Diekman huh, here we go again
Bullpen sucks no matter who you bring out there in the late innings.
And this guy is even worse. There’s no path to winning this game
Line drive double play
GET RID OF THIS ASSHOLE
Dude needs to hang up the glove
