Why is it a loser mentality to be overly critical when a sure win becomes a nail biter because of continued manager ineptitude?
haven't read the entire thread so forgive me if this was covered. The ESPN play by play guy asked ARod what was the reason that May couldn't pitch the ninth after a 1-2-3 ten pitch 8th inning. With the expert analysis we can only get from ARod his response was UUH.
It was mentioned on WFAN this morning that Diaz went up to Rojas and said that his back was tight. So you’re going to have your closer with a jacked up back pitch the 9th inning in a non save situation?
It's not too early to fire Rojas, especially when players are put in situations that may lead to injuries. I fault Diaz for trying to pitch when he knows his back is giving him some discomfort. I blame Rojas for mismanaging his pitchers. It was not a save situation, and you knew the Mets have 7 straight games over the next week. Plan accordingly. Now neither Diaz nor May is available today against St. Louis.
I also love when you get the answer that he's the 8th inning guy. I heard a great comment by David Cone about bringing in so many relievers. He said when you bring in 3 to 4 relievers in a game when the first couple relievers are pitching well, the odds say you are going to get to someone who is lousy that day.
Dom has had 2 hits in each of the last 2 games including 2 doubles last night and he's the one you want to sit? LOL. And I'd bet almost anything that I could go back and find recent posts of you probably blasting Pillar as another bum added to the team by the front office.
I think he does a good job myself
And it's B.S to say it's a bad win anyway. So many times we've seen the team lie down after a blow like Gregorius' 3 run homer. But they got up off the deck and fought back to get the win.
Just a dream. I am certain of that. Mendoza wore #11. The guy they got wears #12.
Go ahead and find a post about me blasting the signing of Pillar. Guess what? Wont find it. I liked the signing and Pillar needs to find ABs. Good to see Smith being 5 for his last 14 which is a terrific sign but I also see someone who hasn’t hit a HR in 15 games and is hitting .215 in his last 15 games and is struggling against lefties and off speed stuff. Pillar looked really good last night with the bat. Would you agree? If so, would you continue to bat a hot hand? If so, who do you sit? Guess it could be Nimmo if he’s injured.
Sorry to upset you. If you disagree with any of my thoughts, I love to debate them with you. Shoot away!
Maybe platoon him with Nimmo then who was coming back to the player he is before getting hurt.
Sobering thought... the 10 year contract starts in 2022 and ends in 2032. Lost decade for the Mets. I hope they find a way to void the contract.
Hopefully Donnie can manage the team shortly ! Donnie has to be a better In Game Manager and Motivator that Rojas !
