NFT: Zack Wheeler

nygfaninorlando : 8/10/2018 9:24 pm
Who saw this turnaround coming? Geesh, the guy looks like Cy Young out there. Another 7 inning, 8K only 1 walk performance tonight. I’d say he’s a better pitcher than Syndergaard right now. Glad Mets hung onto him. A DeGrom, Thor, Wheeler and Lugo top 4 rotation looks solid for next year. Also like the way Rosario is coming along lately and McNeil looks good. Let’s see what Alonso can do in September. All of a sudden, brighter days don’t look too far off. Need an innings eater and a power right handed bat in the off season. But it is the Mets so who knows.
Wheeler had a very nice outing

If they can surround these young pitchers with more hitting and defense next season things will look much better.
SP and prospects give hope a good GM may want the job

They are making a mistake not calling up Alonso now but what else is new with their handling of young guys. I still think it's far more likely we get a worse GM than Sandy than a better one. But fingers crossed.
I love it

They're at an inflection point and it could go either way. Hopefully this time they don't settle for Art Howe.
Nahhhhhh

The combo of beat writers liking to stir shit up and the Wilpons being batshit crazy makes it hard to remain even keeled.

The funny thing about most of the beat writers is they were all (except Rubin/Carig/Sherman) afraid to say anything about the Wilpons over the past 7-8 years and now every other day there's a story about how insane they are.
If you only knew

What they REALLY want to say lol...
Don’t know enough about Alonso

But if he and McNeil are legit, I would feel a lot better.

I love the way Wheeler is pounding the strike zone and if he keeps it up the staring pitching is pretty good.

Still need an OF 3B and catcher. And whole New bullpen

More speed and defense would be most welcome

Jeff's an incompetent meddling asshole and his dad's fastball barely reaches homeplate. And they don't have enough money to run a major NY franchise.

That about sum it up?
Really happy for Wheeler  
jpkmets : 8/10/2018 9:54 pm : link
He got through all those injuries and then had faith to keep going with Eiland's new arm action when the results weren't there.

It's been a frustrating season, but the rotation lynchpins give this team a chance to bounce back strong next year.

Definitely cool to see Wheeler sort it all out after 5 years of stops and starts.
Nice win

They actually looked good tonight.

You love that it's so hard being a Mets fan?

Are you into pain? Are you the type that attaches cables to ceilings and hangs from your nipples.. for fun?
Is Drew Smith

part of the answer for the bullpen moving forward?
The problem will alwyas be Wilpon

They will determine the franchise be contenders or pretenders just to sell tickets and merchandise

Machado Machado Machado and a real GG CF
If we're building around starting pitching, defense and a strong

bullpen should be priorities.
If he keeps pitching like this,

they can easily win 65 games.
He looks absolutely nasty

Fastball 97 with a 90 mph slider. Stuff has been better than Noah
Nah...
