They need DW and TDA back asap. Too many holes in this lineup that negatively effects it as a whole.
Yeah well, everyone else has been seeming to hit them fine.
I don't know what Collins is saving it for if not that situation?
And what's with Dilson, he hasn't really hit at all at the big league level in his two chances.
Mets scored 6 runs in the 4 game series.
that's not a playoff team, need to get the bats going.
Still waiting to see what the real Mets are like. Wright isnt fixing the offense all on his own.
Yes, we need the wounded back in action. However, we need a young, power-hitting outfielder.
There must be a team that has a fourth guy who is young and up and coming -- like a Kevin Mitchell on the '86 Mets -- that we can pry away with some of our pitching.

16-10 on may 3 we would of taken when the season started. Were ok should have better week this week with Phillies and orioles
you just don't expect back to back shutouts.
I just hope that the lack of offense doesn't start to hurt the pitching where the pitchers feel they need to be perfect and don't stay within themselves.

I mean, it's fun to look at things in a vacuum but it doesn't really work that way. Yes, I'm happy where we are at this point in time. It doesn't mean that I have to be happy with what I've seen over the past 10 games or where things are trending. Where's the power? The Mets are 3 HRs away from the bottom spot in the NL. The Wash starters weren't exactly tearing in up and we still couldn't hit them. Facing the Phillies and Orioles isn't going to change that.
There's no way you can say that DW and TdA would have continued their hot starts through today. It's not that easy. Nobody else did. It's these stretches where your manager makes his money...and we're stuck with Collins. I know there are some that disagree with me, but sitting Flores in favor of Tejada for two straight games before an off day is fucking moronic. Especially when your offense is cold and already down two big players. Tejada is worse offensively AND defensively. Big mistake. Tejada needs to be off this team because he will hang over Flores' head every time he makes an error or has a bad game. It's not effective and extremely poor management.
Granderson is, well, Granderson. I don't ever expect anything from him and I'm never disappointed. He's awful.
And I'm not trying to start a debate

Well, it wouldn't be fair for me to change my mind now. I was okay with it because I was looking at the next 3 to 4 years. This past season doesn't change that for me.
We certainly weren't going to sign anyone better than Melo, and that's why I wanted him signed. Plus, had things gone differently, we weren't in a place to make any noise this year anyway. This season, while it sucked, went as well as it could given our draft positioning. Ask me again midway through next season. Hopefully Melo's injury doesn't take too much away from him, but thats always a fear at his age.
However, maybe it's a blessing in disguise with the draft. I mean, maybe we can have our Robinson/Duncan moment, lol.
Washingtons rotation is probably one of the best 2 or 3 in baseball. Lets see how they do this week vs Baltimore and philly.
Hopefully Wright will be back by the weekend as we need him. Ideally the lineup when wright comes back is :
Granderson
Lagares
Wright
Duda
Cuddyer
Murphy
Catcher(plaw or tda)
Flores

With the exception of Scherzer (which ironically is the one game we won) the Nats pitchers were, and have been, quite hittable. We got our hits, we just couldn't capitalize. Not even a sac fly. Herrera was red hot in AAA. Would of been nice to carry that up here but you cant expect it.
We had many chances to take this game today. Many.
Hoping we snap out of it on Tuesday.
