When I posted that the Mets were losing 4-3 going to the top of the 9th. But they scored 4 in that inning to win 7-4. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Well, it was a lot more interesting than I would have guessed two months ago. Sucks when you’re biggest off-season move ended up being what (basically) cost you a playoff berth. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I guess that's the way this season should end. Bullpen blows the save in the 9th, Braves score two in the top of the 11th. Then the Mets hit a walk-off three-run homer to end the season. Just being average out of the pen gets them in the playoffs. Or the Brewers not winning 18 out of 20 down the stretch.

They were both hot garbage. But, they still finished 10 games above .500. Definitely trending up - it's not like the nucleus of the team isn't talented. They've just got to find a decent 5th starter (and another if they trade Thor) and figure out how to reshuffle the bullpen. They do that, and find a way to maximize talent in other areas, and they'll be a playoff contender next year. Quote Link to comment

I'd say just get Diaz back to somewhere close to where he was but I'd hate to count on that. Need one more arm in the pen and one more bat. Any idea if Cespedes has any chance of being back to normal next year? Quote Link to comment

Any idea if Cespedes has any chance of being back to normal next year? No idea with Cespedes. Better to just not count on him and if he comes back it's gravy. He's been so out of the spotlight since his surgery, but it sounds like his heels were pretty jacked up. He could still probably be a fine DH but I'd be concerned about the defense. I think Brodie's got to try to justify the Diaz trade now and selling low seems dumb. I still wonder if he was pitching with a bum elbow. No idea what happens with Cano. The problem I see it with the roster right now is that no one besides Alonso, Rosario and Ramos have a defensive position locked down. Lots of talented guys but logjams everywhere. And we have no idea who could get traded. Quote Link to comment

I think they'll have to try to get Diaz back to some former form. Maybe jettison Familia and get another guy who could be a closer if needed or a setup guy if Diaz can get back to form. Basically a low-end closer. Quote Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Welp, it's official. The Mets have their man. Interesting in that I thought he was less likely to get the job than Bogar or Perez at this point given their coaching experience. I'm fine with Girardi to the Phillies because he apparently wasn't a good fit and it'd be funny if his hyper-intense personality clashes with Harper's. Adored Beltran as a player. He was one of the best Mets I've had the pleasure to watch. Despite that Game 6 strikeout No managing experience but apparently he's a genius with what he sees from the dugout & has a ton of respect from players. I'm pumped! 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Crazy how the Mets could have the Cy Young winner, Rookie of the Year/MLB Home Run Leader and piss it away... Quote Link to comment
