[cardcollector33]

Well guys fiannly he gets the call tonight. I'm a yankees fan but I don't hate the mets and I'm glad to see conforto get the phone call. He is going to face a tough battle tomorrow in kershaw but this young stud will hit. Even though they are available they just keep going up especially now!!!!!!

Nice cards but there is no news about Conforto getting called up.

Really?? Wfan is a pretty good source. Cuddyer may have just been put on dl. I got excited. Maybe pulled trigger too fast. Hahahaha. Mets making a smart move in calling him up may be asking to much.

There is no news on Twitter about him getting called up. I think you misinterpreted it. The Mets have been talking about bringing up Conforto if Cuddyer goes on the DL. Terry Collins said he plans to start Cuddyer tomorrow against Kershaw.

Wow! Hopefully I'm right. Because they are really hammering it home on the radio that he is getting the call.

[Thommy]

Yeah, I can't imagine facing Kershaw and Greinke in your first two starts. Talk about demoralizing. Hope he doesn't have to start his career that way :D.

It was a hoax perpetrated on me. I apologize for the false excitement. I FEEL STUPID!

Hopefully my original gut instinct is right but that's how I feel if I'm wrong.
Nothing official yet but bob klapisch is reporting it ATM.

I have a 6 PM meeting in midtown...sounds like the perfect storm to get me to citi for the game :/

[enbambam6986]

Lets go!!!

[Jaypers]

Too bad it's not September - his BC auto would be out. (Allegedly.)

[blackandgold]

All the Mets troubles will be healed. Conforto is here!!!!
Yah right lol

[enbambam6986]

Maybe he'll be the lucky redemption

[xbignick]

Sold my four sterling autos including a green, whoops.

Wonder what this means for deadline.

[mbarnes1546]

I just hit a Blue Inception auto last week, good timing!!

[StlScott]

All the Mets troubles will be healed. Conforto is here!!!!
Yah right lol

I hope they dont expect him to walk on water too... No pressure Michael lol

[blackandgold]

For his sake I hope they bat him late in the lineup and let him work his way up

[jewcer2k5]

Should be in 6 or 7 spot I'd think.

[NeedChapmans]

Against a starting lefty tonight, gonna be interesting to see the Mets line-up.

Murphy / Duda / Granderson / Niese / Conforto all lefties, so the Mets will fill in Flores, Tejada, Duda, Plawecki. (Mayberry may start for Granderson).

Get Zobrist in here an call it a day Sandy. D'Arnaud back next week and lets see where this team can go.

Think Conforto gets in the lineup today or they hold him off for a righty?

Thomas can only go ~3 innings, so it wouldn't make sense to call him up today and not start him, especially considering last nights performances by the RH bats.

If I were putting the line-up together today (God help me for having to bat Lagares lead-off).

Lagares
Murphy
Flores
Duda
Mayberry
Conforto
Plawecki
Niese
Tejada

Mayberry has been awful, would to have him in the middle like that. I'd go with
Lagares
Tejada
Murphy
Flores
Duda
Plawecki
Conforto
Niese
Mayberry
And then PH granderson for Mayberry once the lefty is out. I want Conforto as low as possible to take off the pressure and minimize his at bats against the lefty.

I DON'T want Topps getting any ideas about including a logo RC of him in any late season 2015 products so the longer he's down the better. Save him for 2016 dammmmit

If he gets added to Topps Update 2015 it might be the best product ever...I think I am increasing my order regardless based on this years crop. Its absolutely insane!

Any one have any idea hm these are worth rn

You can't hit Mayberry 9; the purpose of that spot in the order is to have a faster, better OBP guy to set the table for the 2,3,4 hitters.

And with regard to Conforto, he hits lefties just fine; he's not Kirk K or Grandy when it comes to flailing. It's unlikely that he gets more than 1 AB against Thomas no matter where you put him, so 4,5,6,7 is just fine. Then again, Eric Campbell may just get another start today, so who knows. Have to wait for Terry's 3pm line-up card.

We'll see. And I know the #9 spot is typically for the faster and more OBP guys but I figured with Granderson subbing in early on it would work to get Mayberry just 1 AB and not 2. I really like the idea of this lineup with D'Arnaud back soon (and dare I say D Wright or a player via trade for mid-August on). This team plays 35 of its final 38 games against losing teams, if they're within 3, or even 5, of the Nats or a Wildcard spot, I like their odds.

Three road games left this year against a .500 + team (Washington). 18 games total against .500+ teams (Washington 9, Pirates 3, Dodgers 3, Yankees 3).

Easy Peezy. Just hope they stay healthy when they are full strength.
