One of the fundamental questions you have to ask yourself as an MLB manager is: How do I want to win the game? Tonight, Luis Rojas answered that question with: Bullpen. Reminiscent of the scene in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," when they had to pick which cup was the holy grail, the bad [...]
Please use this thread throughout the week to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish. From a recent Tim Britton article over at The Athletic: One of the disappointing aspects of this season for New York is that some of its attempted strides in player development have been stunted by big-league needs. Zack Scott was hired [...]
Some losses are tougher than others. The Giants were playing without Kris Bryant and Evan Longoria and were starting a pitcher with a 5.72 ERA.

And the pessimists were 100% correct, as so [...]
The Mets fell behind early and their comeback fell short, as they lost yet another one-run game to the Dodgers, this time by a 4-3 score. The pitching matchup was Max Scherzer versus Rich Hill so it didn’t seem likely that this would be the game that the Mets would break their losing streak to [...]
