Just started up - Wheeler has of course failed to get out of the first inning without allowing a run... again.
1. Juan Lagares (R) CF
2. Asdrubal Cabrera (S) 2B
3. Wilmer Flores (R) 1B
4. Michael Conforto (L) RF

6. Luis Guillorme (L) 3B
7. Jose Lobaton (S) C
8. Zack Wheeler (L) P
9. Amed Rosario (R) SS
Nice to see the bats wake up last night - but it'll be a challenge to keep that going with Cespedes and Frazier on the DL.
Awful!
However, he should be done as a starter
I'd love to know the rational in giving Sandy an extension...

AJ Ramos in the game and getting shelled. Guy is only pitchable in blowouts. I don't understand what the point of that trade was.

There is no rationale or logic when it comes to the Mets.
The owners obviously don't prioritize winning much. Otherwise we wouldn't be closing in on another decade of futility.
I don't see this thing turning around any time soon, either. Where is the help coming from?
I remember being excited down the stretch of the 2014 season because all of the pitchers were starting to get up here, Conforto was on the way, the MLB team looked like it was finally headed in the right direction... not even 4 years later, and we have barely anything to show for it.

Its really depressing. They also don't have any exciting young athletic position players currently. Cespedes is but he's always hurt. Conforto hopefully recovers but who knows. Rosario is a big unknown. Simply put they aren't entertaining right now and hard to watch.
Degrom and Noah are fun to watch but the rest of the rotation is complete dogshit.
If you take away Wright's salary which insurance is covering, their payroll is about 16th in the league. Its pathetic.

Man thats ugly. Outside of resigning Cespedes which he was all but forced to do, has Sandy had 1 good FA signing? I guess Grandy and Colon if you can consider those good signings but thats about it.

It really seems like having an offseason this bad would be difficult to accomplish if one was trying to fail.
at least it's not over yet.

That
Is really eye opening
Wow
Yup.
April 10th and 11th.
It's May 16th.
Nimmo should get more ab with Cespedes on DL

That’s incredible. Mets spent 54 million for 0 WAR through the first 40 games
I've been a Mets fan for most of my life - I wouldn't be able to tell you based on anything I've seen here lately.

Vargas signing was grand larceny. Fireable offense imo
Let’s hope Alonso and McNeil are the real deal. The minors look empty otherwise. Maybe Peterson but he is only in low A.

stays hot, another HR today so far.

DMM, Shecky, Mike, ZG all those guys all know more than me, but McNeil is 26 already. Maybe a late bloomer. Seems like he's hit consistently throughout his career for average, never had much power until this recent surge from what I can tell.
Not if they get the right launch angle
