Actually I watched the postgame on SNY after Friday's second loss and Mickey Mouse did come right out and say they need to get the job done.
OT: 2019 Mets Season Thread

What really sucks is that the two best chips we have to trade right now are two guys I want on my team for the next few years. Davis and Smith.
We almost have no choice and you know damn well we would only get guys that may help for a year but being the Met's they blow out their arms before even finishing this season. Meanwhile, Smith turns into a Freddie Freeman and Davis is hitting 30 HR's a year for some other team.
BTW- I swear to flaming FVK...thur/fri made me want to just stay away but that damn Alonso has me hooked. So, I turn it on today and game was in 3rd with a 6-1 lead. They chip away with a couple of runs and it is 6-3.
There was no doubt in my mind at that point that we would most likely lose. I did shut it off after we scored the extra couple of runs only to find out we almost blew it anyway.

The only reason we would trade those two guys now is if we decided we were all in on 2019, and went into serious buying mode. At this point, that would shock me. But who knows.
BVW and MC seem to be talking like we are in it. I really hope either the Phils or Braves go on a 10 game winning streak and just shut these two guys up.
Mets are not out of it, but they have to get their **** together with the bullpen and figure out a way going forward. Less worried about Diaz than about the middle relief. Gsellman and Familia have been terrible, and the only middle reliever who has been reliable is Lugo.
It took a great play by McNeil for Diaz not to blow ANOTHER save. Id put Lugo in as closer, Diaz as 8th inning guy and see what happens.
Cano activated and is in lineup. No word yet on corresponding roster move. EDIT: Just announced, Syndergaard to IL.

Well the friggin Braves are on a 9 or 10 game streak if they held on to beat Philly last night.
How do you fix a bullpen? I would say one word: volume. Bring in as many live arms as you can and hope some of them work out. That's what the Mets did when they were sellers in 2017. They brought in I think eight bullpen arms. Unfortunately none have worked out yet. Hopefully one or two still will.
I have a feeling the Mets are going to turn into the Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox, or even the Tampa Rays right after I die.
Don't go dying just yet. They said it was just a cramp for Vargas.
Hell, I expect them to be sold to an oil shiek and spend enough to win 4 WS in 8 years like Manchester City...
Right after i die lol
Mets fans don't die, they live in purgatory forever. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: (no religious offense intended)
Mets find their closer in Brooks Pounders. Pound for pound, the best closer in the Mets' bullpen.
Mickey's after game presser sounds like a Chris Ash presser. "We need to get better." You don't say?
That’s my point though. Good chance we get swept and I think they’ll have to make a change. The Mets are a bad team but Callaway is easily the worst manager they’ve had since at least Art Howe.
Mickey said Dom is leading off because "He's one of our best guys against this pitcher.'' Dom Smith has never faced Dakota Hudson.
Let's not overlook the fact:
Smith also made Callaway look like a genius, as he doubled and scored against Hudson in the first inning.
Time to tune out the Mets, at least until Callaway is fired.
Right after pitchers forgot how to bunt, batters stopped trying to advance a runner on second with no one out, pitchers pitched out to stop base stealers, hitters shortened up after two strikes instead of swinging from their heels and everyone ran out ground balls. Different game. My guess is since managers do next to nothing to control the game anymore they needed something else to do.
