@NoMoreWilpons Wagner was so bad in Games 2 and 6 that Randolph couldn’t use him. He should have been pitching the 9th inning.

@CalmYourMitts I think because the Mets play almost everyday for 6 months straight it’s more of an opportunity to go crazy. For like football, people get frustrated on Sunday and recap on Monday.

@TalkinMetsNoG With #MetsTwitter constantly obsessing over Alonso, I wonder how it would have handled Strawberry leaving after 1990? Is Alonso the perfect storm of fan attachment, a losing season, and inadequate replacement?

[Tony DeCarlo @TonyDeCarlo84]

@DavidHans60 @TalkinMetsNoG Over 15 years ago, the media fixated on the Madoff-Wilpons connection and impact on the Mets. If Cohen had been involved in similar financial actions, they’d have a ton of articles arguing he needed to sell the team.

@PeterPiperReady But I thought based on Twitter GMs that Eppler was a master executive?

[Tony DeCarlo @TonyDeCarlo84]

@Cjm884 @AdSalesSavant I can’t imagine how today’s fans would have reacted to Strawberry leaving and the decline of the 80s Mets.

@PeterPiperReady @TalkinMetsNoG They lost 4/6 games against a Nationals team that rolled out relievers with ERAs over 5.

@Michael86773756 @chelsea_janes If it’s a day that ends in a y, someone has to obsess over Lindor.

@nyjetshistory @Michael_Nania Plus, in 2015 they would have started against a Bengals team with backup quarterback. Didn’t Wilkerson break his leg in the game though?

@RussyBear_0719 At some point, you have to move on from him or stop watching the Mets.

@ernestdove @NYMNYR1 The trade is a good example of what happens when you constantly turnover the front office. BVW drafted him while Scott viewed him as more of a 4th outfielder-type. It’s not the first time a teenager gets traded in a pennant race and turns into a star.

@ActorwithaChip @TalkinMetsNoG @ellgell Plus, you never know what you’re going to see - 3 HRs in a game, no-hitter, amazing catches.

[Tony DeCarlo @TonyDeCarlo84]

@acevegas50 @kranepool They quit in 1996.

[Tony DeCarlo @TonyDeCarlo84]

@ernestdove Curious, how much should people consider conditions in Brooklyn when evaluating hitters?

[Tony DeCarlo @TonyDeCarlo84]

@theponz05 @redhead_og That team always seemed to have a glass jaw. Scored early and rarely late.

[Tony DeCarlo @TonyDeCarlo84]

@Jolly_Olive After the game and taking 4/5 from Braves, I legit thought they were winning the World Series. Everything turned when Scherzer hurt his oblique Labor Day Weekend and Marte broke his finger in Pittsburgh.

[Tony DeCarlo @TonyDeCarlo84]

@Metsomania_Pod @TalkinMetsNoG I think when they replaced the entire coaching staff, he should have been let go as well. They made him a lame duck. I thought he had potential to be a good manager but the lousy starting pitching had him juggling grenades last year.

@bmadden1954 Bill wears the pinstripe PJs in the has been writers commune.

[Tony DeCarlo @TonyDeCarlo84]

@Masterflip_ Honestly, he was a 2-pitch pitcher in the minors who dominated. He does not have enough pitches for major leagues. He needs that cutter or curveball to work.
