They're losing 2-0 to the Devil Rays. I'm too lazy to post lineups and shit.

King is pitching for the Yankees and Walcha Walcha Walcha is on the mound for the Devil Rays. King just hit another Devil Ray and they're pissed. Wouldn't mind seeing a brawl or maybe a bat to Kevin Cash's melon head.

Yep. It’s sad when the lineup is determined by your salary.
Hicks' swing has too many parts to it.

When they all link up, he strokes beautifully. When they don't, he looks like a mess because he is one.

By Cashman for him to try to save his job but Boone didn't trade for Stanton, Sign Hicks to a ridicolous contract, Put Gleyber at SS, Have an infield depth of Bruce and Odor, force guys to take days off when they don't need it, Set the lineups with Hicks at 3rd , have a terrible starting rotation outside of Cole etc

This is Cashman mess and his alone . Boone should be fired because he is not inspiring any confidence as a leader right now but the offense being lifeless and the Starting pitching being terrible is out of his control
I don’t blame Cashman for his initial decision to put

Torres at short. He actually looked really good in limited time a few years ago when Didi was hurt. But the decision not to bring in someone this year is 100% on Cashman. They don’t even have a viable alternative.

I remember that. Torre’s job was in jeopardy after a loss in Seattle I think they were 1-4 and then they came out the next night scored 6 in the first inning and the rest is history. That won’t be happening for this team.

Two pitchers on the Jays yanks sure could use. not signing Ryu last offseason was dumb and look how well Matz is doing for them. Should of made a trade with the Mets

I disagree with your initial point. They’re going to hit eventually. I wouldn’t be shocked if they had 6-8 weeks during the summer where they go crazy and win a bunch of games. But I don’t see (and I didn’t before the season) how this year ends differently than the past 4-5 with essentially the same players who struggle to make contact in big spots. That’s why I was less enthusiastic about the season than any I can remember since the late 80s, early 90s.
You guys should know Cashman never takes the blame, how many times  
Jim in Hoboken : 4/17/2021 6:50 pm : link
has he told the press the team looks good on paper and the players just need to perform? If a player he trades for falters here, it’s only because said player cannot handle the pressure of playing in NY.

But, he’s not going anywhere, I don’t think Hal wants the responsibility of choosing the next GM. The only scenario where he is pressured to do something is if the Mets perform overwhelmingly better under Cohen and steal the spotlight from the Yanks.

Listen, I am not saying this team on paper should be a sub .500 team, but the philosophy with which they are built just isn’t conducive to winning October baseball. We all know that, why do Cashman and his analytics squad keep bashing their heads against the wall year after year?

They're going to have a period where the bats come alive but after Cole, who is going to win games for them on the mound? Tanaka is no longer on the team and he's way better than the other starters we have who aren't Cole

Put Judge and Stanton back to back in the lineup  
HomerJones45 : 4/18/2021 11:55 am : link
and push Hicks down in the lineup. I don't give a shit what the theory says. Ruth and Gehrig were back to back. Miller Huggins didn't put Joe Dugan in between them. Mantle and Maris were back to back. Bernie, O'Neill and Tito were back to back to back. No pitcher gives a shit about Aaron Hicks and his .240 average standing up there with the bat on his shoulder begging for walks. Put DJ, Torres, Judge, Stanton and make the pitcher work through those 4.

Kluber will be ok. He has always been iffy in April and by May when the weather turns warm, he is very good. He's healthy which is the main thing.

I would like to Tauchman given a chance against righty’s. Thinking of the past, if Wally Pipp and Gehrig happed today, Pipp would have gotten his position back after his headaches.

I agree. Only way I would have split them is if they'd signed Harper. Judge/Harper/Stanton keeps the power, obp, and is R/L/R
