Earlier in the day the Mets were mathematically eliminated from the postseason. They celebrated with another one-run loss, this one a 2-1 setback to the Brewers Saturday night in Milwaukee.
Michael Conforto doubled and scored on a hit by Javier Baez. Aaron Loup pitched a scoreless inning to lower his ERA to 0.98 for the year. Brandon Nimmo had three hits.
The Mets are 1-9 in their last 10 games.
Alderson now concludes 10 years at the helm of the Mets.
Some basic facts of this disappointing regime:
10 years.
4 years lower than MLB median team payroll
6 years over MLB mead Ian payroll
8 years with win totals in the 70s
1 year win total in 80s
1 year with exactly 90 wins
1 significant playoff run catalyze by Cespedes and Murphy in Aug-Sept 2015.
Misogynistic and toxic front office.
3 of Aldersons top hires are presently MLB ineligible or on leave (Callaway, Porter, Scott)
Fire the SOB – he sucks as a leader. In any ordinary organization that guy would have been out ages ago.
He left in mid 2018. This was his 8th year. Yes, his teams show a consistency for ineptitude.
Brian, you forgot to mention that Conforto said they battled. Even though they don’t win any games, they battle every night. He calls that effort battling?
Ok 9 years.
For most of this year, the term battling is not what characterizes this team. Most teams love to see the Mutts on their schedule. Once Jake went down, there was nothing to worry about. Throw Pete high fastballs and let your SP pitch into the 7th… easy peasy.
This is a crummy team, with whatever core of payers they had a year ago have now been exposed as mediocre and below. Nimmo was the one shining piece this year… they need to fire Sandy and Rojas, clean house, and start the rebuild. They have a ways to go to catch the Braves and challenge the Phillies. Marlins and Nats will get better too. They might be the worst team in their division.
