P.S. Sorry for the late posting for this series. Got caught up with some family-related things and just got home.

Notes:
-Tonight's and tomorrow’s games will each be broadcast by SNY.
-The weather won’t be an issue for this series since Globe Life Field in Arlington has a retractable roof. The Rangers are one of five teams in MLB that play on a synthetic surface. The others are Arizona, Miami, Toronto and Tampa Bay.
-The upcoming MLB All-Star Game will be played at Globe Life Field in Arlington next month. Let’s see who makes it to play here again for the Mets at the All-Star Game. Too bad Seth Lugo and Zack Wheeler are no longer with the team since they’re having All-Star seasons. In any case, the Mets have won 9 of their last 11 games—they had a total of just 9 for the entirety of the month of May.

-The Mets' 4-man bench for tonight’s game will consist of
Torrens (R), Iglesias (R), Marte (R), & Bader (R).
They would've won the division for sure.
TX up 5-3
You despise Smith as much as I despise McNeil, lol. Let’s jettison both of them to the moon.
Maybe/maybe not. I don't see much changing with him.

right down to whenever he finally leaves and thrives as a closer somewhere else with less pressure. here he cant seem to not give up rockets every other outing. 100% confident he is the next sewald/heath bell.
Maybe/maybe not. I don't see much changing with him.
it will not happen here but he is going to find some stupid cutter grip or something and end up really good somewhere with minimal pressure like oakland.

+1
Drew Smith will ALWAYS SUCK. They guy is a waste of space. Phuq him. He needs to be DFAd if they can't trade him. Bring up a second lefty (Danny Young) to add to this pen in his place. The only leagues he might ever be successful in are the Mexican league or out east---in the FAAAAAR EAST in Korea or Japan, lol.

thats what happened with Paul Sewald.
Ottavino and his inability to hold runners on is ridiculous for a major league pitcher.

Ottavino scares me too, no doubt, but at least he's not a total washout who still has his moments, even at this late stage in his career. What has Drew Smith EVER done?
Thank God he's a FA at the end of this season. The Mets made him available this past off-season, but nobody wanted him. Smith was one of the tank commanders after the trade deadline last season for a reason.
What he does is throw gas on the fire.
The sooner he gets DFAd the better.
He's amazing. Wish we signed him. He's only making 10 million bucks this year to boot!
