    There are three possibilities I see here: 1. The Mets never properly documented the discussions with Harvey and the medical staff about innings limits and/or never had these discussions. Unlikely, but the Mets haven't earned the benefit of my doubt on much. Barring this, 2. If Harvey has now decided that he will not pitch after 180 innings, he is an insubordinate employee. The Mets will suspend his ass, dock his pay, and do who knows what. The union will file a grievance, which the Mets should win (barring the circumstances of #1 above or #3 below), and the Mets will need to trade him this offseason. Harvey becomes Mets fan enemy no. 1. 3. Harvey is in some fashion hurt.

Or he's a fucking idiot with this lineup. I guess we'll see. Yeah...I'm unfortunately leaning a bit towards the latter. I have no problem with giving people days off and using subs in the lineup; but I don't think it's a great idea to be doing that with two lineup spots in the same game.

    Yoenis is the man.

He'll be two years from free agency and (assuming he's healthy, of course) his trade value will probably be very high. I guess it would depend on what kind of position player the Mets would get in return but that makes a lot of sense, particularly once the Mets have a better idea of how well Wheeler will be coming back form surgery.

    Terry apparently told Niese that his start against the Nationals is the biggest game of his life. I guess Terry forgot that Niese pitched during the final week of the 2008 season against the Cubs (I'd like to forget that game - the Jason Marquis grand slam, in particular - as well) but his description is close enough for me.

    Bad job, Tommy Pham. You can't strike out with the tying run on 3rd and one out. You have to make contact.
  18. Gwreck
    Tying run on 3rd, winning run on 1st. 1 out.

    Papelbon finally pitches in the 9th. You don't think there's a chance that...

    The problem with that argument is that if "games get out of hand" with any regularity it's not going to matter very much about the bullpen being stressed because they won't be winning the series in that case. I could see an argument that a roster of deGrom-Harvey-Syndergaard-Niese and bullpen of Familia-Clippard-Reed-Gilmartin-Matz-Colon is a little short and could use one more (ie. Robles). I don't see a circumstance in which any more than 11 total pitchers are required.

    Fair enough. But do you think the Mets need that 7th or 8th reliever? I would probably embrace that idea more if the Mets had an extra bullpen weapon that they were planning on using for 1-batter appearances but they don't really have any of those relievers. Hence I think they'll get greater utility out of having more position players and a deeper bench.

    My recollection is that the 2000 Mets used a 6-man bullpen: Benitez, Franco, Wendell, Cook, White and Rusch. The 2006 Mets used a 7-man: Wagner, Heilman, Bradford, Feliciano, Mota, Oliver and Hernandez/Ring - although Reliever #7 did not pitch in the division series.

    7 relievers is standard for the regular season when the team is playing 6-7 games a week. First round schedule looks like this: Sunday 10/4: Last game of regular season Mon 10/5: Off Tue 10/6: Off Wed 10/7: Off Thu 10/8: Off Fri 10/9: Game 1 Sat 10/10: Game 2 Sun 10/11: Off Mon 10/12: Game 3 Tue 10/13: Game 4 Wed 10/15: Off Thu 10/16: Game 5 I don't see reliever #7 needing to work very much in a schedule like that.

    They were carrying 7 relievers and 5 starters prior to roster expansion. Why do you think they would now need to carry more relievers in the postseason?
  25. Gwreck
    One still-unaddressed question is how many relievers the Mets choose to carry in the postseason. Having only 4 starters seems clear but do you want 6 or 7 relievers behind them? The lock position players (14) will be D'Arnaud, Backup Catcher, Duda, Flores, Johnson, Murphy, Tejada, Uribe, Wright, Cespedes, Conforto, Cuddyer, Granderson, Lagares. There would seemingly be room for 1 additional position player (my guess is a tossup between Eric Young Jr. and Nieuwenhuis) if the Mets only go with 6 relievers.
