I long for a day when the umps can call a simple strike or ball as it should be. Too often a strike in the first inning is a ball by the 4th inning, then back to a strike in the 7th inning.
 
Umpire has missed 3 clear strikes in one half inning
Had to edit ...
Called 2 outside including strike 3 vs Pete
 
Why you don’t waste Diaz Sunday down 4 in the 8th
Forced to go with loup for 2 because you want to get familia a 4-5 out save with Diaz not available

Familia wasn't bad but Rojas continues to misuse his staff and now some guys are not available. Also, the game should not tied had the ump called Freeman out on the check swing third strike. Instead Freeman hits a homerun.

Diaz is available. He stinks when he has to pitch multiple innings though. Already concerned as this will be his 3rd day in a row.

Nido!!!!!

Wow...these last 2 games are wins I never expected......Keep Nido in the 5 hole....:)

Diaz looks so much more confident.....he appears not frazzled and he is not over throwing.....When Diaz throws naturally, he's damn good
 
Maybe there is something more special about this team I realized. When they gave up the second run in the seventh inning, I thought they would loose the game for sure, but they pulled it out. Even Diaz looked good pitching for the third straight day.

Didn’t Diaz had a 5 out save two weeks ago?

That day is coming, probably within the next five years. But it won't be the umps making the calls, it will be strike zone technology.

Doing it once doesn't make him good at it. His numbers in multi innings games are not good.
 
On a side note, Tigers no hit the Mariners last night. Been a few no hitters already this season
 
Rojas is still terrible. One game good or bad does not tilt the needle but the way he handles this team is horrible. But...it isn't much different then the last guy- the team is being managed by dweebs in the front office.

That said- been saying before the injuries- Met's built a great bench this year- the type of bench that helps teams win championships. It is too bad they will have to carry the team for a couple more weeks but we hang in there, this team can be dynamic in the 2nd half.

Only 2 games this yr. Took the loss against the Cubs and then got a save the other time.
I didn’t look up stats but it always seems to me it is in games that are not close.
but I believe he has only had a couple of bad outings this year but when bad, it is bad
 
In non save situations he is awful this year. 10 games 6.52 ERA. In save situations 7 games 0.00 ERA.
 
It would be nice to get some length from our starter tonight. Bullpen has been great but you can't overwork them.

That seems to be the mantra. But:

Villar: .225
Pillar: .250
Peraza: .219
Mazieka: .125
Nido: .265

The reason the Mets are over .500 is the pitching. It's an odd year in baseball, with hitting numbers down, so I'm not sure what normal is. But the Mets aren't hitting much (23d in baseball OPS), and there doesn't seem to be a breaking ball in the dirt that they won't swing at. The Mets's bench is, well, fine I guess. But the pitching is leading the way--3d best ERA in baseball. Let's not get confused about what we're seeing.

Now, is this a different team healthy? Sure. How much. We'll see.
