New York Mets 2025 Season

So he was an excellent manager for a season, took the team deep into the playoffs, got off to a tremendous start and a less than 20 game horror show puts his job in jeopardy?
I disagree, unless you think Stearns and Hefner should go also. Frustrating stretch for sure but they are two games out of first and a half game out of leading the wild card. The fact is some injuries, and an unusual collective of the starting and relief pitching and the offense all going south at the same time.
Not a time to panic, stay the course.

As long as the ship gets righted I’m fine with that, but he still needs to figure out the offense side. I’m fine giving him a pass on the pitching until the arms return.

But I’m not sure I would call him excellent. His in game decision on handling the pitching staff seem very suspect.

Well, time will tell, right? It always does, but I’m inclined to judge any manager over a stretch of 200+ games as opposed to less than 20. The beauty of sports is the absolute total uncertainty so we each need to root and analyze as we see fit but I’m not sure I understand how you can give him a “pass” because of pitching injuries and in the same post question the decisions he has made with a the staff. You can only play who you got.
Having said that, I have posted over the last couple of frustrating weeks the fact that his pitching moves have not worked out but I judge a body of work, not a bad stretch I consider to be a result of multiple factors, injuries being one, with contributions, or lack of, from the entire team, so IMO, far from just being the manager’s fault.
So, again my opinion, different from yours, is that any discussion suggesting his job is in trouble to be extremely premature.
 
Went to the game last night. Spectacular night for baseball. Invited to an event in the owner's suite, which is an incredible gigantic room dead center behind home plate. 1/3 of their lineup is in the .220s and that's with a dh. Nimmo, lindor and McNeil in the .250s.

Without Senga they don't have a stopper in the starting rotation, and their middle relief is spotty.

Still and all, they should make the playoffs and could win 90+ games.20250702_191327.jpg

We are tied with Astros for most guys on IL, 15.

Stearns today said Manaea and Senga can return weekend before ASB.

He didn’t mention Megill? Allegedly he was shut down for 10 days and was to start throwing. We are past that and seems like he’s in the witness protection program. I hope it’s not worse than they thought.

No but Mendoza said on June 13 his best case is 4-5 weeks so hopefully an update by asb
 
I agree with Logan kinda.He's kinda like Yoda without the getting angry all the sudden. Not sure if I should be worried for myself but taking an aspirin every day and still not getting too angry over the last month so maybe Logem became Met Yoda. Definitely possible

Pitching solves everything. IMO Makes hitting better when they are more relaxed. Barring 2nd half injuries very confident we are in post season

If not then ww get Thibs as coach
 
This is an interesting holiday weekend subway series. Both teams have been sputtering, Mets are at home where they are better, but at the same time the pitching matchups listed scream big time advantage to Yankees.

Hope we get some good ball games. Tonight was a really fun game. Vibes felt good again, finally

It looked like a very bad reversal but the very last freeze frame appeared to show the tag with Yelich's hand just above the bag. However, there was no daylight and you couldnt clearly see when the glove touched the player or when then hand touched the bag. Either way, no matter what the ump called, not enough from the replays we saw to overturn.

Peterson is very good. He’s an elite #2 starter

Yes. But at this point I would say he is our #1 starter Hopefully Senga or Manaea could take the #1 role.
