Newsday.com: And then Tuesday night happened. In one-third of an inning during the Mets’ 7-5 loss to the Phillies, Wilmer Font allowed two inherited runners and three of his own to score and nearly hit Scott Kingery in the head with a pitch, triggering warnings to both teams, who have already cleared the benches this…

The Mets Should Let Mickey Callaway Finish The Season
I just don’t see any turnaround to this team. They’re 5 games under .500 as I write this and 9 games out of first place. The bullpen for the most part sucks. Why Robinson Cano is hitting No. 3 in the lineup while batting .230 is beyond reason. Cespedes gets into a freak accident and…

Pete Alonso Ties Darryl Strawberry’s Rookie Mark for Home Runs
Remember, the Mets were seriously thinking about leaving Alonso in minors before Opening Day. Now Alonso is on a pace to hit 54 HR’s this season.
The Mets Bullpen Is Killing The Team
Why your set-up man, who happens to have a 6-plus ERA, is still being used in tight situations is beyond me. NYPost.com: In the span of 24 hours, they went from feeling good, headed to what looked like their sixth victory in eight games, to getting swept in a makeshift doubleheader and once again fading…

Mets Need To Get To and Stay Above .500
Nice series win over the Rockies. But if the Mets are serious about winning this year, it’s time we win more series, get above .500 and make a real run at winning the division. So a split of this brief Yankees series won’t be enough, let’s win two.
Pinch-Hitting Jeff McNeil For Amed Rosario Was A Bold Move By Mickey Callaway
This is the type of situational managing that you like to see. Sure, Rosario is your starting shortstop and he’s been hitting well all year long. But he also strikes out a lot and with the Mets behind a run with two runners in scoring position in the 7th inning, the scenario screamed for putting…
Braves Sign Dallas Keuchel
Well, now Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel are signed to other teams that aren’t the Mets and if we fail to make the post-season this year (and Kimbrel and Keuchel end up having good years), the onus will most likely fall on Brodie Van Wagenen for not doing more to help the team win.
Jason Vargas Is The New Mets Ace
I’m only kidding. Jacob deGrom is still our ace. But damn if, with a beleaguered bullpen, that complete game shutout wasn’t absolutely needed last night.
Mickey Callaway Really Screwed Up Last Night
NYPost.com: Mickey Callaway referred to the rotation as the Mets strength yet again before Tuesday night’s series opener against the Giants, and he indicated how important it was for the starters to get on a roll of excellence to carry the team. A few hours later, Noah Syndergaard was on an excellent roll and the…
Time To Take Jeurys Familia Out Of The Set-Up Role
Familia’s a head case right now and his inability to pitch 1-2-3 innings and constantly get himself in and out of trouble has grown tiresome and is costing the team. Plus, the set-up role is too important to take for granted, esp. while the team struggles. I say put Robert Gsellman there. Gsellman doesn’t care…
