Lugo no longer has the putaway breaking pitch when ahead in the count. Taylor will go fishing if you throw a good one.Lugo isn't the player he was a few years back. This is on Buck for believing too much in guys who continue to falter.

Lugo is not a bum, but when he pitches, it's stressful.You guys are brutal on the slightest slip up. Lugo's stats say otherwise to you guys.

What about Kimbrel? It's baseball against one of the best teams in MLB. FFS.Lugo is not a bum, but when he pitches, it's stressful.
Let all three take their time coming back from their injuries if Williams and Peterson allows them to take their time:8.5
Tylor hitting 98mph in his rehab start could be back this week but Williams performance against the Dodgers may let Mets wait another turn thru rotation
Jake throwing off a mound 19 pitches , 30-40 next time
Max still chewing metal chips waiting to get back with team. Said he is throwing everyday

A few things. Last 10 games:Nice pickup for the last two games of the LA series. Remainder of June is tough with series against SD, MIL, ATL and Houston. Throw in 7 games with the Marlins who can pitch with anyone and there are no gimmies this month. Even the Angels who lost 11 straight cannot be as bad as they have looked recently.
Play the month at .500 and the second half should set up nicely.
I also worry about the Marlins as a spoiler. They have some very good starting pitching.A few things. Last 10 games:
Mets: 8-2
Padres: 5-5 (just won 3 in a row against Padres)
Milwaukee: 4-6 (just lost 3 in a row to the Padres!)
Atlanta: 7-3 (won 5 in a row against D-backs and Rockies)
Houston: 7-3 (swept the Athletics and won of 2/3 with Royals)
Mets: have been warm to hot most of the season, and perhaps they are bound to hit a cooling off period, and nothing to freak out about if they don't totally fall apart on the stretch above. As most of us figured early in the season, the Braves are the team to worry about in the East.
The Mets are consistent because of their approach and depth of talent. Other teams that go hot and cold are flawed. Those teams rely on a small core of players to carry them all the time.A few things. Last 10 games:

It is funny, I was just thinking that- when you look at our lineup's each night, they are always pretty solid from top to bottom. Even Nido is now hitting .250, JD has gotten his production up and even escobar, with a lower average has a good OBP and a ton of doubles. And each guy is playing a very unselfish role when they come to bat.The Mets are consistent because of their approach and depth of talent. Other teams that go hot and cold are flawed.

I'm not sure about the rest but I know we don't play the Braves again until July.Nice pickup for the last two games of the LA series.

To me (the eternal optimist), what is quite surprising is that we have not seen a falloff with our two best (arguably three) pitchers out for an extended run. We have depth. And maybe we have found another bullpen guy in Adonis.The Mets are consistent because of their approach and depth of talent. Other teams that go hot and cold are flawed.

Yup. Maybe losing McCann was addition by subtraction, which is difficult for me as Mrs. McCann to accept. Lindor and Pete (especially) have picked it up. Canha has been a great addition. And Guillorme has surged.It is funny, I was just thinking that- when you look at our lineup's each night, they are always pretty solid from top to bottom.

You are correct. My apologies.I'm not sure about the rest but I know we don't play the Braves again until July.
