Centerfield

We just had the same week as last week.

Regardless of any standings, a series win against the Braves would be nice. We have our best pitcher on the mound. Maybe he can pitch like it.

I’m done with David Stearns. He’s had three years of $300M+ payrolls and never sniffed a division race. Never won 90 games. Team getting worse each year. This year’s team is 29th in MLB in OPS. 26th in runs scored. A combination of bad roster construction and somehow getting the worst of the guys we have here. That second part is the biggest problem. I think he’s smart. And if he acknowledged such failures and talked about re-examining the system he’s instituted to see why this is happening, I’d be ok with riding it out to see what happens. But he doesn’t. He talks about staying the course. Doubling down with Mendoza. Insisting that his way will eventually work out. “The players need to perform” Yes David. But why aren’t they performing? And what are you doing that’s preventing that from happening?

Just saw the score. I’m guessing Manaea must have been pretty good. How did he look? This lineup cannot hit any lefties. I would try Jared Young anyway. Why not see what he can do.

Well. That certainly is a lineup.

Not likely to have Williams or Raley today. Would be nice to have Tobias Myers to slot in behind Manaea. Not feeling terribly optimistic about these last two.

He appears to have come through.

Big moment for Bichette

Nolan McLean sucks.

So the Braves are over performing and the crash down to mean is going to be cruel and epic. Got it.

No one picked Jared Young and his .890 OPS. In fact, not only did we not pick him, we didn’t even mention him.

The problem with apathy, is that the losses don't hurt as much, but the wins aren't as glorious. Yay Mets.

Wheels falling off

Another game I won’t tune into. It’s like the Mets don’t exist.

Did we really start Austin Warren? I get he’s having a good year, but that seems a bit much.
