Sandy doesn't have the balls, to tell the truth. Terry Collins told on Sandy a few years ago when he said the orders for the lineup and who plays that day come from the front office.
Any reason why Rojas sat McNeil today? Or is it same reason he sat Dom Smith opening day? Stupidity
From what I have seen after first few games is a team that is very flawed. Bullpen is awful, back end of rotation is not good; team defense is bad; team still can’t hit in clutch that thousands remain stranded on base and a manager that should be coaching a softball team.
Not good. .500 may be a stretch for this team.

Agree. as much as I hate to say it and Rojas can be the scapegoat, this team is not likely going anywhere. We are going to be sellers sooner than we think. We can get a huge haul for DeGrom, McNeil, Mcann. We probably can get something for Conforto, Diaz, Alonso, Dom Smith, etc. Rebuild around Lindor and in 3-4 years, we can be ready with a less flawed team.
3 games into this season, but this has been the same story since 2016.
Honestly as a Phillies fan, when we’re showing we have some decent pitching, Alonzo, Conforto, etc. don’t worry me. I wasn’t even really worried about Lindor as he didn’t show me much. NYM will get their wins, but I wasn’t at all thinking they look like a playoff team.
I am glad you followed up your first post.lol Yep- 3 games in, let's clean house. And I bet a good handfull in here will completely agree....:)
3 games out of 162 is to small a sample to jump to any conclusions.
You are right, but it's frustrating when you see the same mistakes and results. New day, same sh*t.
So far everything looks like rinse & repeat:
Can't hit in the clutch with men in scoring position.
Can't finish the job for deGrom like scoring enough runs or blowing 31 leads for him since 2018.
Bullpen falters again even though there is a new set of characters.
Questionable moves by the manager.
But there's still hope... even if it's fading.
The real issue for me has stayed the same- Manager moves. The Mets seem to want to overthink everything. Game 1- sit last year's Met's MVP. Game 2- pretty much start the right team and win. Game 3- let's sit one of the best pure hitters we have seen on this team in over a decade. Lose again.
Take deGrom out after 77 pitches and retiring his last 9 batters and gliding along.
Sit Stroman after 6 innings and 85 pitches and most of his were not stressful either.
Just stupid, overthinking shit. We are 3 games in- one thing I do not fear is our ability to hit. We will hit and score runs. Looks like deGrom will be deGrom, Stroman looked like a real number 2...after that- crap shoot until we get Noah and Carasco back. But we need to play to keep us in the race until they are here.
We need to play our starters. I actually don't mind bringing Villar in for some starts just to keep McNeil/Davis fresh but we can't be having games where we have 2 or more backups in a game when we don't have to.
Again, have to remind myself- we are only 3 games in. What if this series was in June and not our opening series?
But we seem to get our management wrong all the time.
NOT THE SAME STORY. Maybe the same results this year, maybe not. We'll need to wait a few months on that one. But there are at least 341,000,000 reasons why it is not the same story, with more to come in the upcoming years.
Lineup is what we would mostly want besides Davis injury. McNeil shouldn't be 7 though.
That's the Mets' brass over thinking as usual. I would not put Villar ahead of McNeil in the lineup.
If it were anyone else besides Villar in front of McNeil, I would be a little upset. But to have someone with McNeil's bat control hitting behind Villar's speed, it makes sense.
Trevor who?
Move on from Dellin TooManyChances to a guy whose name is too close to Hindenberg. What could go wrong? Do we have any bullpen pitchers with names like "Winner?"
I looked him up, and I'm not impressed or hopeful, but hell, can he be worse than the guy he replaced?
Me thinks Conforto should have signed a contract before the season started. Early but he is leaving so many runners on base. Is he pressing for a big payday?
Leaving 86 runners on base every game will always come back to bite you !!
Except McNeil is apparently coming to the plate with a cracked bat because he's not hitting sh_t.

When you're 0 for the season some focus needs to be on you too. So far it's been a collective failure and he's certainly culpable.
