OT: 2019 Mets Season Thread

What is the plan with the bullpen. Can’t keep trotting lugo out there for 2 inning saves.
 
How about taking a flyer on Matt Harvey as a bullpen arm? His ego has to be substantially reduced at this point and I see little downside in signing him to a minor league deal and let him work in Syracuse out of the pen for a couple weeks and see what he does. If he is successful as a set up or closer than bring him up before the end of August. He may not want to do it but might be worth a phone call.
 
BTW- need Alonso to have a big month...his sure fire ROY is not so sure fire anymore. Soroka and Tatis Jr are also having monster years. HR title would certainly help Alonso though
I was really surprised to see Washington opt to intentionally walk Alonso with 2nd and 3rd and one out the way they did. But with the night he was having I was also glad to see them do so in front of Davis.

Harvey is done unfortunately.

Noah settling down was the key to this game. Something of note...he seems to have finally figured out pitching and not just blowing guys away.Our guys keep pitching like this and we will scare any team out there in the playoffs.

Lugo may have given up the HR but he really has become a machine. Said a lot that they kept him in for a final inning and didnt go to Diaz

Been saying all year that Davis needs to be an every day player. Davis, Rosario, McNeil, Conforto, Alonso make a real nice core to this team. Gotta lock Conforto up this year along with Thor. Wish we could sign Wheeler but doubt we will.
I was thinking the same thing about the core guys not sure what to do with Cano if or when he comes back if he plays second of them them move either to the outfield or 3rd base.
 
Well they’ll have to do it again !
Pete huge error. With Cabrera running he had all the time in the world to even stand up and throw. Jake did hesitate a little but Pete didn’t have to rush throw

I thought that was more on DeGrom. Did Pete rush it? Yes, but it was right at the bag.
 
Bases loaded 2 outs
Cabrera hits a hard grounder to first
Pete makes nice stop
Jake running to first hesitates right before bag
Pete throws from knees at the bag a little in front and a smidge higher then he wanted.
My point was that the ball passed the bag and Cabrera was only half way down the line.
Jake and Pete both had time
3 unearned runs scored because jake bounced throw to home plate , Ramos couldn’t scoop it , runner was going to be out by 15 feet.
 
Keep fighting , keep coming back , never giving up !!
3-3. Jake two out bunt hit , McNeill 2run double !!!!
 
Pete will make up for it later in the game. That’s the type of attitude he has. Prove me right with some rbis
 
Huge defensive inning by the Met's in the 5th.

And while I don't think Conforto is a good center fielder, he is a good defensive corner of'r and his ability to play center makes him that much more useful. And when he makes plays like that? All the more so.
 
Nice inning by familia. Good to see. Diaz in 9th and then who is left in bullpen? Lugo possibly but should avoid using him. Ramos hit that ball hard. Damn
 
What does Diaz has to do to lose his "closer/ 9th inning" role? Big reason why the Mets cant get over the WC hump instead of battling for first place.
 
Mets need to demote or put Diaz on injured list. He’s too much of a liability and a karma rally killer. It’s too much for any team to keep dealing with.

He already lost it. Lugo is the closer for now, but he pitched two innings yesterday.

Welp... I stand corrected. Dam shame Diaz has just completely lost his mojo, no matter how you look at it. But what you gonna do?

I did say Mets had to go 6-2 vs Nats and Braves this week (and at least 6-2 vs Cubs and Braves in 2 weeks) to keep up with the WC leaders, still have a chance for first, and prove that they can compete vs the beat in the NL. Ill take the series win over Nats but today was the story of the Mets season that they still have time to fix... hopefully.
