@SNY_Mets@SteveGelbs What happens this offseason, in that case? You hire a new coach who, unless its Beltran who probably helped pick the current staff, wants to hire his own guys. Meanwhile, you need to figure out 1st 2nd? 3rd base and 3+ rotation spots. That's a lot of change again!
@MetsmerizedPOD I do miss the days when you could move ALL the way up at the end of a blowout. It was a nice way to repay fans who stick it out, especially those who will otherwise never be able to afford field level seats.
@michaelgbaron When i read about the meniscus tear my first thought was "they're eventually going to let him walk and then he's going to finally figure it out - just like d'Arnaud."
@michaelgbaron I like to give Stearns benefit of the doubt, but O'Hearn is slashing .329/.417/.543, and Murakami has 8 homeruns. Meanwhile Polanco is on the shelf, hitting .179 with 4 xbh.
@PSLToFlushing If, unlike us, Mendoza knew they were unavailable is that crazy to suggest that he mismanaged the overall game - pulling mclean and manaea when he did? He was essentially 3 arms short. You can' t assume extras, but you have to be prepared.
@ernestdove Manaea has been relatively effective with low velocity the last few times out. The question is can he fine tune that skill before hitters start catching onto his pitches bc of smaller the velocity difference.
@chelsea_janes So we are already worried about Mendoza's ability to manage the pitching and now we also have to worry that he doesn't understand situational aggressiveness? Sure with 2 outs. Even maybe 1. But no outs??
@MarkCHealey@Mets@Orioles@Yankees@Angels Could also be like Strawberry, who the Mets fans will always appreciate but management was proven right for letting walk. Speculation is fine. We'll see what happens.
