Instead, trade Harvey this winter for the best young slugging outfielder they can get. Put him in the outfield with Conforto and Granderson, with Lagares and Cuddyer in reserve and they'll be in pretty good shape. While I agree with that scenario, a Laggy/Cuddyer reserve would be $15M sitting on the bench most games...so it seem unlikely to me that they will move forward with that strategy. I suppose a lot depends on if/when Laggy gets surgery to help his elbow. I think this is the way to go, even if you're parking $15 mil on the bench. Dangling Harvey, you should be able to reel in a pretty good young outfielder.

    Cespedes. I've never seen one player turn a Mets team around like this. Gary talks about Donn Clendenon but Yoenis has done in a month what Clendenon did in half a season. It's like a switch was flipped. Yes, getting d'Arnaud and Wright back and adding Uribe, Johnson and especially Conforto has helped, but dayum, this guy just seems to be part of everything. He's taken it to another level, a level we're just unaccustomed to seeing. Of course we won't sign him, but boy, he's been fun to watch.

    Funny how they always wind up killing a night watchman. I'm totally down with Terry pulling Harvey after 6 or 7 no-hit innings. It would be so priceless.It would also up his trade value. So convergence of interests here. Harvey wants to prove he's not a douche and he's really a warrior to be counted on. Boras wants to repair Harvey's damaged image. The Mets trying to put the Nats a little further in the rear view. However, I'm guessing Matt goes splat. Gives up a few runs early and throws too many pitches. Bullpen net won't be there this time to bail him out like they bailed out Niese, who may suck but at least puts his heart into it. And we move on to Wednesday, hoping it's not a bad Hair day.

    I turned it on too. So much easier to enjoy without the pressure. Oh, and I also have no life. Damn, Carlos Torres hurt himself.
  7. Lefty Specialist
    The term 'kinna hurra' comes to mind.
  8. Lefty Specialist
    Boy, you just KNOW Rose plays at DraftKings.com. There has to be serious thought given to leaving Niese off the (potential) playoff roster at this point.

    Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria.

    Fasten your seatbelts. Tray tables and seat backs in their upright and locked position.
  11. Lefty Specialist
    A bit wary about going a second inning with Robles, though.
  12. Lefty Specialist
    No letting up boys, still 9 outs to get.
  13. Lefty Specialist
    Moiph!
  14. Lefty Specialist
    Took a great play, though. Wilmer's too slow.
  15. Lefty Specialist
    Robles 7th, Reed 8th and Familia 9th if they have a lead?
  16. Lefty Specialist
    I would have left Goeddel in to pitch to Harper. Need length from the bullpen.
  17. Lefty Specialist
    It would be so sweet to steal this game. Their bullpen sucks as bad as ours.
  18. Lefty Specialist
    The grand slam bothered me, but what bothered me more was that he couldn't suck it up, giving up an extra run.. That's inexcusable.
  19. Lefty Specialist
    Okay, so it was the fourth inning for the meltdown.
  20. Lefty Specialist
    Whew. Bullet dodged.
  21. Lefty Specialist
    And then plays made. Yay.
  22. Lefty Specialist
    Plays not made. Dammit.
  23. Lefty Specialist
    Niese busting Scherzer's balls even though he strikes out.
  24. Lefty Specialist
    Oy.
  25. Lefty Specialist
    Man flies Delta, gets tired, goes home.
