(then again it was Teheran), Gsellman not on his game and having a disappointing start to boot. I wouldn't panic now but injuries not helping with depth.

This would make pganut very happy as I'll be at Sunday's game and on the field beforehand.

Just really saying it "could" work out favorably if he's right. Have no idea what the issue is. If you want my honest opinion, it's only a matter of time with Syndergaard. It's not a matter of "if". It would be nice to get another playoff run or two before he has to go under the knife but it's coming. Another reason why I wouldn't extend any of the starters. Extend hitters... enjoy the pitching while it's here but let power pitchers walk and keep drafting replacements.
hopefully the rest of the season reverses that luck trend. As much as luck has gone against us, I think this first stretch has exposed this roster's weaknesses in plain view, so even if the pendulum swings back I do hope Sandy takes some steps to correct.
1. Need to start phasing in more athletes so the team's collective defensive range isn't as bad as it is now. Should also bring up the energy level of the entire club.
2. Need someone to get on base and make contact at the top of the order. Lucroy or Prado at the deadline would go a long way.
3. Need to add at least 1 arm in the BP.
In terms of #1, Conforto playing every day is a good step. Hopefully Rosario taking over SS at some point will also help (perhaps Cabrera at 3rd will help as well). Possibly even Cecchini at 2nd as well (Walker's range and arm strength seem a lot worse this year - result of the back injury?).
How do so many baseball players tweak quads and hamstrings just fucking running to 1st base? I'm 32 years old and haven't played competitive sports in years but I'm positive I could bust it down a 1st base line 50x in a row and not hurt myself.
I had a feeling something was up when he didnt start yesterday.
I guess 2015 was as good as it's going to get for us.
I honestly think they let Gsellman pitch yesterday because they wanted him to miss the Nats series.
WTF?

Collins yesterday said Noah was fine and wasnt why they went back to Gsellman. They never tell you the truth with any of these guys

Could be but the timing is just bad. Think it was Gelbs who asked him about Noah being ok in the press conf. Now today we find this out
Syndergaard tried talking his way into making today's start, but Collins told him no.
Syndergaard could be placed on DL and return Monday if team opts that route. Also then allows for guy to be called up.

Gilmartin or Montero? Yuck. I'll just skip Syndergaard start, thanks to the rain. Maybe he will pitch in the pivotal Nationals series.

Famous last words...

A sacrifice must be made to quell his thirst for players

He's not throwing any fastballs.
What the fuck is he doing?
What the fuck is he doing?
Especially with no outs. That simply can not happen.
He looks like Dock Ellis... pitching on LSD on a day where he didn't know he was going to have to pitch. Except he's not throwing a no-hitter.
This team is just so unbelievably bad right now.

Another error. I think I need some LSD to get thru this game.
Yes, all teams go on losing streaks but the Mets take it to a whole new level.
I'm so glad that the ghost of David Wright went to bat for Collins a couple of years ago and convinced Sandy to keep him.
Yoenis is a freak athlete and for some reason, the guy cannot run without pulling something.
I can't watch this shit man.
