did i miss something somewhere? what happened to the win first mindset of the new management? taking Matz out when he was in control ,79 pitches in only?? that is why we cannot move forward with that kind of bonehead move s! we are trying to get into the play offs man!!!!!!! should have left him in to win that game!!!

Matz did get hit hard in the prior inning. Once they got ahead, I dont blame them for going with their best reliever. Callaway has had a bunch of questionable moves, but I dont blame him here. Lugo just had a bad inning.

Lugo just had a bad inning. not @ 79 pitches!! they let Syndergaard go? he get s stolen on and homers also! they really blew it there! we have no bullpen , so if your starters is dominating g keep it going! we lost ground because we won tonight, T hursday!

Almost choke up a 10-4 lead in the 9th because again he takes the starter out too soon..

Gents, at some point this bullpen needs to stop giving up 3 to 6 runs in an inning. It's not a manager issue, it's a player issue. No manager in the history of MLB could "manage" their way out of this BP.

Congrats to Alonso. Hard to believe the NL record is only 40, but now a Met holds that record. Guys are swinging the bats well.

I want a 50 burger from him Conforto is starting to resemble the player many thought he would become. Ramos is a find as well All recourses need to be for the bullpen next offseason

Us spending some prime resources for Diaz as a prime example.

Pretty cool a Mets owns the NL record and a Yankee owns the AL record for rookie HRs That is cool. I wonder what they did to the ball to make it so lively this year... I guess just wound it tighter. It been over 50 years since I saw the insides of one. Also cool that the Mets have Alonso near the top and McNeil near the top. It's been a very long time since the Mets had a BA leading contender. I hope he can get back on the field soon.

I hope he can get back on the field soon. I feel like it's been forever since the Yankees have had hitters with high BAs in general. Now they have like 4 or 5. Mets have some good hitters. Good pitchers. Need some bullpen upgrades though.

Then I heard Darling say that Phil Regan and the pitching staff worked hard on improving their breaking pitches with the new ball and that it has been paying off in the last month.... the pitchers feel they are getting the action back that they wanted/used to have.

Then I heard Darling say that Phil Regan and the pitching staff worked hard on improving their breaking pitches with the new ball and that it has been paying off in the last month.... the pitchers feel they are getting the action back that they wanted/used to have. fivethirtyeight.com/features/juiced-baseballs/Looking inside the balls and testing their chemical composition revealed that the cores of recent balls were somewhat less dense than the cores of balls used before the 2015 All-Star Game. The newer cores weigh about a half a gram less than the older ones, which might be enough to cause baseballs hit on a typical home run trajectory to fly about 6 inches farther. That alone is hardly enough to explain the home run surge of recent seasons, but when combined with previous research finding that baseballs began to change in other small ways starting around the same time, it suggests that a number of minor differences may have combined to contribute to the remarkable upswing in home run power we’ve witnessed since 2015.Independent investigations by FiveThirtyEight, publications like The Ringer, and Nathan himself have shown differences in the characteristics of the ball and the way it performs. Research has shown that balls used in games after the 2015 All-Star Game were bouncier and less air resistant compared with baseballs from the 2014 season, when players hit a relatively modest 4,186 homers, the fewest since 1995. (Nathan noted that MLB does not regularly measure air resistance.) Taken together, these changes would result in a ball that would come off the bat at a higher speed and carry farther. While investigations have been able to show that the baseball behaves differently in recent years, no one had looked inside the ball to see if there was evidence of changes to the way the baseball is constructed.

I would imagine it would also affect sinkers/sliders the same way.

That has been a big issue for both Diaz and Familia.

He gives me heartburn. But, you can absolutely tell when he serves one up over the middle and it only dips 3" instead of 12". Boom. But, I think the aerodymics on the seams is the right answer, and they are having to work to find a way to get the ball where they always used to expect it to go. It's a leaugue wide problem, and I think the Mets staff and coaches are figuring out the new ball.... just in time. I've seen a little more action on Familia's pitches recently. But, he'll always give me heartburn.... just a wild man overthrowing is what I always see. His follow thru is way wild.
