11:30am: Tim Britton of The Athletic relays the full slate of moves. Fisher has been selected while Jose Butto has been recalled. To make room on the active roster, Zastryzny was optioned, righty Stephen Nogosek was placed on the 15-day IL with a left oblique strain and lefty Sam Clay was designated for assignment.
11:25am: The Mets are selecting the contract of left-hander Nate Fisher, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. Fisher is not currently on the club’s 40-man roster, meaning a corresponding move of some kind will be required.
To say that Fisher is not a top prospect would be underselling his journey. As noted by Passan, he was out of baseball and working a finance job in Omaha last year. He joined the Mariners’ organization in 2019 but was released in May of 2020. He signed another minor league contract with Seattle in June of 2021, eventually throwing 37 1/3 innings with a 2.89 ERA cross multiple levels of the minors.
He reached free agency in the offseason and was signed to a minors deal by the Mets. He’s split his time between Double-A and Triple-A this season, throwing 72 innings with a 3.37 ERA, 23.2% strikeout rate and 10.1% walk rate. Now 26 years old, Fisher has made the improbable jump to the big leagues after not even being in the sport just over a year ago.
Though Fisher has made some starts this year, it seems the Mets likely try to utilize him for left-handed relief. Joely Rodriguez has been the only southpaw in the club’s bullpen for most of the year, with Rob Zastryzny just getting added yesterday.
Just in time to lose to the Phillies today.
Clown
You dirty rat. You know how Mets are succeeding when all of these haters come crawl out of toilet! Bathuan!
I give the Phillies about a 30% chance to score a run against a Mets minor leaguer. The Mets just own them.
Bohm did not get your message today.
Bohm responsible for 8 runs so far. 6 from the Phils. 2 for the Mets.
Hey buddyboy
Stack w Butto today?
That would be my guess.
good funeral home director.
Braves fans are going to hate the Mets for wasting their “young dynasty”
They’re not the only NL East young dynasty in the making.
It’s amazing how unbelievably annoying Braves fans have become after winning a ring. They were always pretty insignificant, kind of like Pirates fans. At least that gives us hope that they’ll all disappear when they don’t win it this year. I really don’t wanna hear them crying about “luck” for another 30 ring-less years.
It’s one on the perks you get when your teams wins a WS.
1986
Yes. This is exactly what he’s taking about.
I think the audacity makes it more annoying. Yankees fans have always been annoying and they always throw the championship count out there. But at the end of the day, as much as I dislike them, they did win 27 championships. The Braves have literally been a team for 151 years and they have four championships. Many of those years there were only eight teams in all of MLB. That level of futility is actually astounding.
Sounds like you need a tissue. I’m sure Cohen has some spare cash to let you wipe your tears and even add a bonus to wipe your stool.
As a Mets fan, I would never read an article about a highly insignificant Braves or Yankees roster move, & then make a post like “1986.” It just screams troll.
Since the Mets became a team in 1962, the Braves and Mets both have only two championships, and you can go back to 1957 to find the previous championship. No idea where this feeling of superiority from Braves fans comes from.
I can literally say the same about Mets fans, Phillies fans…etc. Fans are obnoxious in general. No fanbase is better or worse than another.
I think most fans in sports would agree yankee fans are way more obnoxious then any other team.
I do think success breeds more fans and more obnoxious confidence. So in the 90s and 2000s there may have been “louder” Yankee fans, but I think that died down. I don’t find Yankee fans better or worse than any large fanbase.
Try going to yankee stadium. They are the biggest donkeys I’ve ever seen.
Haha. I’ve been many times. Definitely rough, but same is true in Queens and Philly.
Jose Butto lol 2 pitch pitcher mid 90’s FB and a changeup, no curveball.
He should get hit pretty good 2nd time through the lineup.
Not the way the Phillies offense has been going lately. Wouldn’t be shocked if this kid went 7 inninngs of 1 hit ball.
Glad I was wrong so far. The old negadelphia reverse jinx.
Watch out, the SJW and cancel culture will go after you Von.
Phillies are just pathetic against the Mets. Handing them games. Sadly I was at this game. Probably one of the worst played games I ever saw.
Glad you finally see it. If they were playing like this against everyone, you can give credit to the Mets. It’s been like this all season against the Phils. Other teams also play as defense against them. Call it what you want, it is luck.
Mets are very good and capitalize on mistakes. Phillies just crumble against the Mets. They absolutely own the Phillies in every regard. I was literally embarrassed to be watching.
Hitting a two run homer in the ninth is luck for the Mets but if the Braves win in the ninth then it’s because they are far superior. Your comments keep getting more and more desperate.
It was a very entertaining game from both sides. The Phillies had no quit in them today. Your bullpen was depleted.
Who said anything about the 9th? The Phillies played bad defense throughout the game. It is what it is. Speaking for everybody, thankfully the Mets no longer play the Phillies in the regular season. Just pathetic!
I mean the Phillies were less entertaining and more embarrassing. Even if the Phillies won, I was disgusted by their play. But I would never call the Mets lucky. They’re a great squad.
I’m sure you would rather the Mets play the Phillies then the loaded September schedule full of the pirates, a’s,Cubs and Marlins.
At this point, I’m assuming the Mets will win the division so it does not matter. I’m not big on strength of schedule. When I look at both the Braves and Mets schedules, they are both easy on paper, including just accounting for September. The Braves last season proved they can beat anybody. They beat the best teams in the playoffs last season and and shut down all the naysayers, including myself. They are a better team this season and are capable of beating everybody in September because I believe they are a loaded team. The Mets though, I still do not believe in because I think they have the weakest lineup on paper of all the NL teams and one of the weakest bullpens in baseball. Regardless, I’ve watched enough baseball to know that when the teams think they have the advantage with schedules, the results end up being less than what was expected and hoped for.
*the Braves are capable of beating anybody as a wildcard too
Big talking guy what happened to the Mets losing. Now it’s they were lucky mom and daddy!
@Ozuna How does the weakest lineup in the NL score the 5th most runs per game of any team in Baseball through 3/4 of the season? Dodgers 5.31, Yankees 5.03, Braves 4.89 , Cardinals 4,87, Mets 4.75. Don’t the actual results count when evaluating a lineup?
I meant of all the NL teams in the postseason picture. Your stats kinda reinforce my point. I’d take the Padres lineup over the Mets as well. The Phils are the only team that may not edge out the Mets, but when Harper returns, it can change everything. I still believe Nick Cas has something left in him, just don’t know if it is this season. Regardless, the Phillies lineup is objectively underperforming. The again as I echoed 100000x, the Phils just don’t play well against the Mets for some reason.
The Braves have scored ten more runs then the Mets over 123 games . That so called diffrence in run scored in your mind makes the Braves a vastly better offense? The Braves have way better production at third and catcher. Every where else the Mets production is better.
Can someone be recalled when they’ve never gotten the call before? Maybe semantics, but why is it called that?
It’s because Butto was already on the 40-man roster.
Fisher saved the day for the Mets.
And Canha. And PHI’s trash bullpen.
