Why did the Mets send Reid-Foley down? Hildendberger should have been on the first train smoking to Syracuse.

The Mets need rested pitchers right now. Doesn't explain why Lucchesi is still here.
Reid-Foley has appeared in only two games this year. Yesterday was the first time in more than a week. He last appeared against Chicago. Reid-Foley could have pitched today is called on to do so. Besides, Hildenberger has an ERA of over 15. Do you want him pitching at all? HELL NO.
Reid-Foley
5.0 IP, 7K, 0 BB, 2 hits, 0 Runs. Small sample size, but he looked great.
Right now, the margin of error is so thin the Mets need every positive thing to go their way if they have any chance of winning. Reid-Foley is positive, and Hildenberger isn't.
Hildenberger is too close to Hindenburg.
His ERA and others stats have gotten progressively worse each year since 2017. WTF with this pick up of the trash heap?

Could it be because Lucchesi is out of options or Mets know he will start over the weekend - say in lieu of Degrom? Does seem very odd especially with Reid Foley pitching quite well.
Mets beat Yankees! Actually, Syracuse Mets beat Scranton Railriders (aka Yankees) 5-2. Jared Eickoff, starting in place of Yamamoto, got the win and Drew Smith got the save.
Yankees had an interesting lineup with Luke Voit and Miguel Andujar at the top. Ex-Met Robinson Chirinos caught, and sorta ex-Met Mike Montgomery pitched.

Was coming to post this. Just brilliant from the brain trust on that one. Pops up of course. This lineup does stink with the injuries and Smith slow start.
It’s insane. He’s batting .161. He’s in 151st place of 155 currently with enough at bats for the batting race and shit for brains moves him to leadoff instead of down to 8th.
Stroman batting to lead off the 5th trailing in a 7 inning game. Rojas is lost.
Has Rojas really lost it? The regulars have a collective batting average lower than the pitchers. The Mets have two hits.
The team is a mess right now. I like Alonso a lot but I had to crack up when I heard he was crying at his locker when he heard Chili was fired. Good grief.
Now Nimmo goes on the IL after having a short bench for the last few games. Mazeika up. Sandy lost.
Like I said, the only way out of this mess is to clean house. No one would blame Cohen for trading this core of players. They have grossly underperformed for 5-6 years. Trade them all before they lose value. I don’t know what to do with Lindor. That one will haunt us for the next decade. When Cano comes back next year, we are going to have him and Lindor making more than $54 million dollars. This would likely be more than the Marlins roster combined. Let that settle in.
I think they are better off just eating Cano’s salary and make believe he doesn’t exist...or use him in double headers, I guess. I can’t imagine him providing value without juicing up. Then pray that Lindor isn’t as big of a bust as he’s showing early.
The Mets are dumb as crap. One, why take Yamamoto out as he was cruising? Two, there two out and two strikes on the hitter. Still, the Mets are in the shift. The hitter slaps the ball through the hole where the second baseman should be in a normal defense. This is the third time this week this has occurred. I watched the Blue Jays game and the same situation took place. Toronto moves the defense back to normal because the hitter is less likely to hit into the shift. The hitter is just trying to make contact. The hitter grounded out to the second baseman and the Blue Jays got out of the inning.
Can someone explain why the Mets have used 6 pitchers in a 7-innings game? If Yamamoto is a starter, why couldn't he go a full 3 or 4 innings?
FYI: St. Louis is making a mockery of the shift. Five of their 11 hits were opposite-field to beat the shift.

Any kind of bat control and the shift is a joke. Gwynn would laugh his way to a .1000 average.
I have been a staunch critic of Tomas Nido however I have been quite startled at his lack of playing time. Give him an opportunity to prove himself like he did tonight especially when the starter (McCann) has been awful.
Until the bench limitations catch up with them, I have said for the past several games - go with the bench with guys like Nido; Pillar; Villar; Peraza and continue to sit Lindor and McCann. Starters have to earn their role and sustain that role with performance - not reputation and/or past history.
Nice to see a breather (non tense) win in the 2nd 7 inning softball game...:)

If Mario Mendoza was still playing today he would be worth 750million over ten years since his batting avg. is about 100 points higher than Lindor's.
As up and down as this road trip has been, a win today gets us to 4-3 for the trip and back to .500. Walker needs to step up today.
One game out of first place. But yeah let's tear it all down and start over.
