Not open for further replies.
Mets made the mistake of going extra with the Giants.Assuming a win here,they'll be 4-1,second best mark in the mlb.Another last place,the Mariners are perfect at 4-0.You gotta the bad teams early.
 
Mickey Moron blew this game by taking Syndergaard out just like he blew Saturday’s game by taking deGrom out.
Mickey Moron is so quick to pull his best pitchers for a bullpen full of sh*t. Not only are the Mets losing the game, but they are blowing through an overworked bullpen... again.

None of them are reliable. No matter who you bring in.
Could it be Mickey Moron is overexposing his bullpen? Relievers are in the bullpen because they are not starters and can't last more than an inning at best. If you see them too often, they get hit like it's BP. The Mets are carrying 13 pitchers (8 relievers). At least 6 of the 8 see action every day. That's not good.

Well part of that is also that the starters going even 7 innings is the exception
 
It's time for a change. I don't know if a different manager will improve things but the bullpen is horrid. For the sake of change, the team needs to make a change at the Managerial Position.

The last few outings the starters have gone 7, but the pen has blown leads. In other cases, Mickey Moron pulls starters too early.

Maybe this is 1973 again and no other NL East team is going to be good enough to get away from the Mets. The ’73 club won the pennant because four starters (Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, Jon Matlack and George Stone) rose above the general stench to excel.

These 2019 Mets were thinking the same kind of fearsome foursome (Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom, Steven Matz and Zack Wheeler) would serve as a spine to their contention. And Callaway insists this is what he wants to lean on. Yet at a critical moment for his team and his job Callaway has now twice in three games spurned his best area to rely on his worst.

If this continues, it is not just Callaway who will vanish. Wheeler, who is in his walk year, and maybe Syndergaard, who the Mets dangled last offseason, could join Bumgarner on the market. The Mets might have to break up their strength because Callaway has not used it to its fullest.

Callaway first gathered his players to express in Syndergaard’s word “remorse” about the decision while taking responsibility for the loss and then publicly conceding, “I’d like to have that [decision] back.”

Fans have "remorse" for buying into the pre-season hype.

I'd like to have Terry Collins or Willie Randolph back over Mickey.
 
Can we agree on one thing?

Unless you lamented the departure of guys like Bruce and Broxton when they left (and I know you didn't, because nobody did) please refrain from doing so now.

I will concede that Kelenic and Dunn are fair game.
 
So i guess Im not allowed to say that Callaway has to go and that they should've hired the more qualified Bloom than BVW, eh? Let me find my orange colored glasses.

Who said you could not say that?
Consensus is Callaway is a disaster and should go. What's a Bloom?

Lamenting the loss of Bruce and Broxton is ludicrous at this point.

Justin Turner--there is someone to cry over.
 
I've been a Callaway defender, and I'm still not sure he DESERVES to go. But I think it's come to the point where he HAS to go. There is a difference, and the latter supercedes the former.

Amen to that.

I'm not going to engage in revisionist history and claim I knew Turner was going to become the player that he did. But at minimum, we all knew that he was a solid utility player and a great clubhouse presence. Unfortunately, the Wilponzis (as they were known at the time) couldn't put together the loose change necessary to make him a qualifying offer in his first year of arbitration.

Chaim Bloom who was one of the 3 candidates for the Mets GM job. Works in the Tampa front office and was an infinitely better option than BVW.

I wonder how/why the Wilpons thought BVW was a good choice, given all of the conflicts he had in player representation.

He already had a relationship with Jeff because of how many clients of his were on the team. BVW is a obviously a great salesman and public speaker and he won stupid Jeff over with that approach. Furthermore Wilpon's thought they would be lauded by the media for making such an "outside the box" hire. I always wanted Bloom.

I do like a ton of the hires BVW has made within the front office but his roster build this off season was not good. A lot of that has to do with the purse strings also though.

We have seen first hand at Rutgers what a great interviewer gets a team . . .

I don't closely follow the ins and outs of the operations of the team and what is happening in the minors. But I have learned a lot here on this board. Ignorance was bliss!

Maybe because Bloom wanted to actually rebuild the organization the Rays Way and not be a Jeff Wilpon puppet.
 
Cano is back! In the lineup tonight, playing second and hitting third. No corresponding roster move announced yet.
