The brain trust thinks this should be an easy win. That is the wrong approach. From now until the end of the season you put your foot on the throat of every team you face. :Angry

QUOTE="BigEastPhil, post: 3972487, member: 3330"]I don’t like how this game is shaking out. Bottom 4 in lineup is extremely weak and we seem to have no flow offensively. Would have much preferred to see Ramos as dh, Frazier at 3b[/QUOTE]
Three DP's in five innings, one due to a Panik baserunning blunder. Down 2-1 after five.

He's out for the season with an injury.
Would not be shocked if he's back at AAA next year. Mets have no outfield prospects.
100% agree. I’m ok with Nido at catcher to give Ramos a rest but to the life of me why is Ruben Tejada playing?
and bottom 4 are 0-12 tonight so far. Hate to be mr gloom and doom but when I saw the bottom 4 when the lineup was announced,it looks and smells like puke city just as expected. Gotta hope for a rally on the 8th with Rosario leading off.
I agree that the walks have been a big issue for each of them.

Thankfully Diaz came in to put out the fire. Send this guy down yesterday. Thx again BVW for this gem.
Diaz, Cano, Gagnon for an authentic game worn Ichiro jersey.
I thought we were not allowed to mention current members of the Seattle Mariners organization.
Only reason was Cano isn't playing is because he was hurt. Di you think BVW will send Diaz down? Shoot, the was no way he would be the closer if there were a legit GM and manager.
That's the kind of thing that happens when you trade for a 36 year old. 3 times on the DL. I'm sure that will improve over the next 4 years as we pay him $20mm annually, or whatever absurd amount it is.
If it weren’t the Wilpons, I wouldn’t give a damn about the $20mil but because it is, no way they go after a top level FA this year.
Just sounds more and more stupid every time I hear it, but hear we are
Per Newsday, Davis expected to be available tonight. Not sure about Gsellman, however, he is not expected to have to go on IL.
Two quotes, two philosophies. Submitted for your consideration:
"I look forward to working with the analytics team here and building it out." -Brodie Van Wagenen, General Manager, New York Mets (at his initial press conference)
"I bet 85% of our decisions go against the analytics. And that is how it's always going to be..." - Mickey Callaway, Manager, New York Mets
And that, my friends, is why Callaway will be fired. He is not a moron, as some on this board believe. However, he is not on the same page as his boss, who had nothing to do with his hiring. When that happens, you'd better succeed big time, or you're gone. Nobody's fault. Just how it is, both in sports and in the real world.

Did anyone hear mickey last night on the post game saying Diaz was great only giving up 2 runs wit the bases loaded. I get Mickey loves to prop up the guys but come on.........
Good to hear no injury list but available probably means he’s good to pinch hit. Davis didn’t seem too concerned about injury in post game interview. If he can’t start,I’m scared to see how the bottom of this lineup will look again. They’ll score zilch for degrom once again
Davis is not in the starting lineup. Here we go!
Rosario DH
Panik 2B
Alonso 1B
Conforto RF
Ramos C
Frazier 3B
Guillorme SS
Lagares CF
Altherr LF
I guess we have no Altherr-native!
Rosario DH
Panik 2B
Alonso 1B
Conforto RF
Ramos C
Frazier 3B
Guillorme SS
Lagares CF
Altherr LF
I guess we have no Altherr-native!
Would it be any different if Nido or Tejada were in there? If Davis is unavailable, then that's all we got.
Ya know, with JD out injured (at least for the start of the game), you could put together a Mets injured lineup that arguably is stronger than their actual lineup:
McNeil RF
Cano 2B
Cespedes LF
Davis 3B
Smith 1B
Lowrie SS
Nimmo CF
Rivera C (Syracuse callup)
Whomever DH (Take your pick from the Cuse roster)
But the leadership never had a game plan before they went to war, so it doesn't matter what army you have for battle.
Fantasy land , God , Jesus Mary allah Zeus Gandhi aliens all become Mets fans allowing all players to be healthy and have career average years or better
McNeill
Cespedes
Conforto
Alonso
Cano
Ramos
Davis/lowrie ??
Rosario
That is a very good lineup !!!
