Well thank f***ing god we were buyers.
I'm just shaking my head. Even with all the injuries too the pitching staff, one would have thought that with the lineup we could trot out there on a daily basis, we could at worst make it too the playoff tournament which was expanded to 8 teams if not contend for the division.
No playoffs and teams like the Marlins and Orioles are much better than them....who knew?
Instead we have pretty much every bat other than Conforto, Dom Smith and Cano under performing severely. McNeil is a shell of the guy he was last year. I thought he was slump proof with a batting eye and stroke like that....guess not.
You knew Alonso would have a bit of downturn as no way could he perform like he did last year when he was phenomenal. But .200 with just 6 homers and less than 20 Ribs at this point after 35 games? Really Pete?
Ramos and Rosario have been pitiful. Rosario especially. WTF?? He looked like he was ascending after last seasons bigtime 2nd half. Now...I don't know what the F they do with him. Ramos...let him go after the year....very dissapointing.
I'm telling you...the only guys I'd keep on the Mets as far offensively for absolute sure would be Conforto, Alonso, Nimmo and McNeil. I'd like to keep Dom Smith and Davis however if I got some solid prospects for them, I'd let them go. Everyone else tho can be had.
As far as pitching...only guys I keep are Jake, Noah, Lugo....that's it! Everyone else can be had. And too be honest, if someone gave me something good for Noah, I'd consider it.
What a shit show this team has become. Only hope now is with Wilpons gone, for Cohen too have control of the team and pull some "George Steninbrenner lite" antics and do whatever needs to be done to bring a winner too Queens.
