Today McNeil and Alonso are the best players on the team. Hard to imagine what this team would look like without either of these kids. Way better than anything we could have hoped for.[/quote]
Mets are just tough to root for. No one can tell me winning is not about attitude and frame of mind. Mets know how to lose, from the top to the bottom of the organization, If they hit, they don’t pitch, if they pitch they don’t hit, if they do both, the bullpen collapses. They sign a free agent, they underperform. I am a fan and always will be but it is hard.[/quote]
The best example of your point is Edwin Diaz. Last year best closer in baseball. Clearly dominant. This year he looks and feels like Rojas/Looper/Benitez/Franco/Familia rolled into one. Frustrating.[/quote]
Agreed[/quote]
I'm not giving up on Diaz just yet. Big mistake by Callaway yesterday leaving in Lugo who was way off in his location of pitches Lugo had no curve ball yesterday. Had to believe Diaz would have overpowered Baez with his fastball and good slider. Get Diaz up and allow him to face at least 5 hitters. What the hell is the difference in allowing him to face 4 and not five. Remember in the beginning of the season he was definitely only going to relieve for one inning. Make up your damn minds..
