Thoughts?
Absolutely.
Pretty well have Cespedes returning to boost up the strikeout numbers too! Woo hoo!
Well, he did go his normal 1-8 over two games, so hes super excited.
Can someone please explain why Sandy Alderson has any job security? When is enough enough?
- Cut Reyes.
- Tell Bruce he's primarily playing first from now on and if he can't outhit Gonzalez he's on the bench.
- Bench anyone who makes a lazy play or multiple mental mistakes in the field.
- Fire or reassign a coach or two, like the hitting coach who Callaway inherited anyway.
The scary thing is Callaway has made as many mistakes as anyone over this last stretch and there aren't that many ways to discipline/hold a manager accountable.

Friday is an enormous day for fans of records and milestones.
The #Mets will be attempting to match their franchise record for most consecutive games scoring 1 or 0 runs https://www.baseball-reference.com/tiny/uJasL

From now on whoever produces plays
Yeah, Terry said that and NEVER followed through on it. Thats no what propelled them to the postseason. It was Cespedes going on an impossible run, catching fire for a month and zero competition. Plus the Mets were in a much better position. Things were never even close to this bad in 2015.
My point was entirely about the institutional apathy of the organization towards winning. These losing streaks don't just come out of nowhere. They are the result of a conscious lack of commitment to winning.
The Starting Pitching has been nothing short of spectacular of the past 18+ games. The bullpen looks to finally be coming together with the addition of Swarzak and Lugo sent back.
The hitting, in the words of Gary Cohen, is the worst we have ever seen from a Mets team. That is saying a lot considering all the shit shows we have seen in the past. This is a new low. They have hitters who have hit in the majors before, but they just all look lost. The only hope is that when Yo comes back, he takes the pressure off of some of these guys and adds the spark back that only a superstar can add.
If not......well its going to be a long summer and next few years, because this team should be considering a serious rebuild.

P.J. Conlon's stay in Los Angeles lasted less than a week. The Mets re-claimed Conlon off waivers from the Dodgers, and assigned him to Triple-A Las Vegas. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Mets DFA'd Phillip Evans for the second time in eight months.
Trade degrom please
Trade degrom please
I honestly think that would be the biggest mistake this era of the franchise could make. I'd rather trade Wheeler/Matz
Cut him a check for $37 million and Im sure hed be happy to.
But the best outcome for all is for Wright to be "injured" another season or two and then retire with dignity.
No one can take this "comeback" seriously. And the Mets can't cater to him regardless of his status with the organization. He's been unreliable for 4 years now and refuses to retire. At some point, the organization needs to take a stand.
But, and this has been discussed ad nauseum, so not sure why people don't understand.
Wright is owed $27M guaranteed dollars AFTER this season, and for 2018 he is owed $20M. His contract is insured for 75% of the contract value.
The only way it would make sense for the Mets to try and settle with Wright to "walk away" is if Wright agreed to less than 25% of what he is guaranteed to receive.
I would question Wright for "collecting a pay check" but I'm not a judgmental douche bag who is sure I would walk away from over $40M because I got injured giving 100% to the team I love.
I doubt it'll happen, and maybe Wright really still thinks he can play so he's not going to give up, but the whole thing is an embarrassing IMO.

Exactly. Why people would expect him to walk away from that money is beyond me. Would anyone here?
