Diaz is garbage. How did this guy save 57 games last year? He seems like another Bobby Thigpen. BVW career as a GM will go down as a huge failure because of the Cano/Diaz trade especially if Kelenic or Dunn become perennial all-stars.

With the money we took on for Cano and what we now can't do its already a huge failure. If Kelenic or Dunn become anything it's meme worthy failure.

Should have just kept Lugo in the game to pitch the 9th. I don't understand how Callaway continues to make mistakes over and over again

If the Mets never made the trade for Diaz and Cano, the Mets are at least 5 wins better.
Correct me if Im wrong since I have fuzzy math tonight. But this was the Mets 24th blown save. Just going half of that, the Mets would be 62-43, probably, give or take, a half game behind the Braves for first.

BTW, and why was Thor taken out again?

And I agree that you dont trade Thor unless its for a Tatis type player. Not for a cheap 210 hitter that the Wilpons prefer.

We are not getting anything for Diaz. Might as well keep him and find another closer in the off season. Then we can convert Diaz into a set up man along with Familia. We will then have the market cornered on failed closers.

But it’s not like we have another closer waiting in the wings. Our results would likely have been around the same if Diaz wasn’t here.

Ramos 0-5 as well hitting 5th with all ground outs in the exact same spot. You can't make this up.

The Franco/Benitez Route... NICE

I don't believe in playing a guy just because you pay him a boatload of money. Either you want to win or not. Play McNeil at second so the Mets can get another bat in the lineup. Also, go closer by committee.

Doctor Worm doesn't like it when I call Callaway Mickey Moron but that is what he is.
How nice of you to think of me!

I assume the reason for your vitriol is the decision to pull Lugo and go with Diaz in the ninth? It is the standard move which most managers would make in that situation. But it is disappointing in that when Callaway got here, he promised to manage the bullpen differently. He has not.

Doc, I depend on you for info about the Mets. You are clued in, but Diaz has done nothing to merit status quo moves.

I strongly suspect that Callaway lacks the authority to make those decisions.

Actually your math is a bit fuzzy because as we have just seen, not every blown save results in a loss. But I definitely get your point!

So had it with that disastrous bone-headed trade
Well even if you had watched the Dem debate instead, you couldn't have gotten away from it. Bernie Sanders was discussing bad trade policy. You would have felt right at home!

Mets choke again tonight. There is something wrong with the psyche of this team. It does not matter who is on the mound, they choke late in the game (except for deGrom of course).
LOL Sorry to disappoint. Knight Report jinx still undefeated.

How about also Nido not getting the passed ball there. Supposed to be the good defensive catcher. McCann blocked 4 or 5 balls in the dirt.

Here is something baffling...The Met's, seem to have cornered the market on players that everyone else wants and feels will be successful with them. Wheeler, Thor, Vargas, Diaz, deGrom and some really good young players on this team, McNeil, Conforto, Alonso, Smith, Davis, Rosario

And yet, we somehow ******* suck.

Let's see what trades come today if any. 4 games under and 5 out for the 2nd WC spot. If we get back to .500 I'll get excited again because I'm a sucker haha.
