  Do Mets lead MLB in hit batters? Sure feels like it. Hope the kid wakes up feeling a lot better.

    Not according to the Phillies. The poor Phillies are tired of getting plunked:

    ‘Fightin’ Phils tiring of watching their hitters get drilled’

    There’s no crying in baseball!

      … says THE DIRTIEST TEAM IN THE GAME … the hypocrisy is palpable.

        What goes around comes around, right?

  RUH ROH!

  Prospect.. seems he’s a fragile one… But hey.. let’s go mets and their prospects…
  • Mr North Jersey March 8, 2013 at 6:12 pm

    Nah, I think it was more like being smart and not risking further injury.
• VA Met Fan March 8, 2013 at 6:59 pm

  Of course our players get plunked or taken out in hard questionable slides. When do our pitchers ever retaliate?
• Hotstreak March 8, 2013 at 7:41 pm

  Ode to Travis d’Arnaud

  Meat the METS,
  Meat the METS,
  Catch the Fever
  Step right up and bean the Mets!
  Bring your own doctor
  Bring your own the Nurse;
  Otherwise your guaranteed to be on the DL
  All the fans are rooting for the Orange bandaids and are surely blue,
  Because No retaliation is there and aint that true
• RandomGuy March 8, 2013 at 7:47 pm

  this non-story hurts because it’ll form opinions that either A.) The organization is babying him or B.) He’s fragile and injury prone.

  He got beaned by a baseball, hes gunna get a bruise.
  • Hotstreak March 8, 2013 at 7:51 pm

    Wrong player you were thing of the Wright player
• Just_Da-Damana March 8, 2013 at 8:10 pm

  thank god we still have juan centeno aka the future catcher of the 2014 NY Mets
  • Hitman March 8, 2013 at 8:11 pm

    Future backup, right?
    • Just_Da-Damana March 8, 2013 at 8:15 pm

      Only if the mets trade for Buster, Molina, or Mauer
      • Hitman March 8, 2013 at 8:21 pm

        Give it up. He’s a future backup. No if’s, ands, or buts.

        No power, no speed, average D, good plate discipline, hits only for contact.
        • Matt Balasis March 8, 2013 at 8:24 pm

          No power?
          • Hitman March 8, 2013 at 8:36 pm

            What do you call a .323 career SLG clip (.342 in AA last season)?
        • Just_Da-Damana March 8, 2013 at 10:16 pm

          healthy back
          healthy knees
          good bat
          good glove

          meanwhile….travis will be a DH/1B hitting .280 with 25 HR for the A’s in 6 years
          • Hitman March 8, 2013 at 10:25 pm

            For all those traits, d’Arnaud will still be better & Centeno will be a backup on another team in 6 years, unless there’s another team with ragtag catching depth as the Mets. Probably the Astros.
            • Just-Da-Damaja March 8, 2013 at 10:41 pm

              u know who else had a weak bat with lil power and strong defense in the minors….

              Yadi Molina…aka the best overall catcher in baseball
              • Trs86 March 8, 2013 at 10:55 pm

                And Mike Nickeas.
              • Hitman March 8, 2013 at 11:45 pm

                You seriously gonna sit there and compare Centeno with Yadi? Facepalm.

                Okay, I think we’re done here.
                • Just-Da-Damaja March 9, 2013 at 12:34 am

                  LOL

                  we had a post comparing Travis to Johnny Bench b/c they both had large hands

                  We are beyond done here
                  • Mr North Jersey March 9, 2013 at 12:43 am

                    It was a Phillie coach comparing physical attributes not actual game play based on having seen both men but yeah you just did the same thing.
  • oleosmirf March 8, 2013 at 9:58 pm

    Puerto Rican eh?
• Matt Balasis March 8, 2013 at 9:29 pm

  Sorry, lol, I thought you guys were talking about D’Arnaud.

  & What about the other “future catcher” Francisco Pena?
  He had a pretty good winter for Aguilas in the Dominican.

  Catchers >>> notoriously slow to develop.
• Hotstreak March 9, 2013 at 12:35 am

  Compare Minor league stats Bench with Bisons and d’Arnaud with 51′s

  • Hotstreak March 9, 2013 at 12:40 am

    I know Bench was 19 and Travis 23. Additionally d’Arnaud stats were in PCL.
• Mr North Jersey March 9, 2013 at 12:47 am

  Off Topic: TeamUSA loses tonight to Mexico 5-2. Dickey didn’t quite have it unlike Gallardo who had Phillips swinging in the dirt. USA must win later today to have a chance at advancing.
  • XtreemIcon March 9, 2013 at 12:58 am

    Dickey got shelled and Wright had the first RBI for USA. The Mexican team can pitch.
    • Hitman March 9, 2013 at 1:03 am

      Dickey looked like he let himself fly open. It didnt look like the same rhythm he had all of last season.
      • XtreemIcon March 9, 2013 at 1:14 am

        It’s tough to identify rhythm in a knuckler. Could be he just didn’t have it. But you’re right, there was definately something not working for him.
        • Matt Balasis March 9, 2013 at 10:55 am

          The knuckleball is fickle …
  • Hotstreak March 9, 2013 at 4:54 am

    Probably last year Dickey reached the summit of his career. I wish him the best.
  • Brandon Butler March 9, 2013 at 11:03 am

    Glad to see David Wright was able to contribute.
