sorry, I shouldn't say "can't afford". they're fucking multi-billionaires. they can afford 2M to significantly improve the team. they don't want to.

Zack wheeler is a FA next year. he'll leave in FA and they'll need another 2-3 pitchers anyway.

"Mets viewed Gio as a marginal upgrade over Vargas at best"
The Mets "Didn't want to eat a bad contract"

IT WAS FUCKING TWO MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS. If you truly believe he was a "marginal upgrade" (and we know the 'at best' part means they did at least actually view Gio as better), a team that is "All-in" can fucking afford to spend 2M on an upgrade. SO WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T THEY?

IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE FUCKING 2M IN THEIR FUCKIGN BUDGET DESPITE BEING AN "ALL-IN" TEAM WHILE BEING FUCKING BOTTOM HALF OF THE LEAGUE IN PAYROLL - and before you throw spotrac or some shit at me that shows the mets at like 8th or something in payroll please don't forget this counts like $35M they're receiving in insurance money to pay Wright and Cespedes' contract which they are allowed to count against payroll even though they're barely paying a dime on it).

god FUCK this org .LITERALLY REFUSING TO SPEND 2M on someone that would be of SIGNIFICANT HELP to this team. shit like this is why i go on these batshit fucking insane rants- because the immense stupidity and cheapness of my lying fucking team I love drives me to it

It's 100% about the money. No one could possibly be that stupid to prefer Vargas starting over Gio, if you had both. $2M too much for an "all-in" team that isn't in the top half of payroll (not counting the Wright/Cespedes insurance money they're wrongfully counting on the payroll of course).

Brodie van Wagenen said he was going to change the Mets culture. He was a liar. Just a dude covering for the Wilpons greedy fucking bullshit, so cheap that even something this obvious and this cheap, they won't do.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd now the reports are saying the Mets were out on him because they wanted to use him in the bullpen more instead of a starting role and he wanted to start. aka they'd intend to keep JASON FUCKING VARGAS in the rotation over Gio. Like, what the actual fuck???????? Either they are completely bald-faced fucking liars or quite literally the fucking stupidest people to ever run a fucking sports team in the history of sports.

Someone explain to me how you can justify not signing Gio because you'd rather have Vargas start over him? Like what the fucking shit. I fucking hate this organization.

The Wilpons are fucking extinguishing the Mets. its absolutely fucking disgusting and unforgivable they were not in on this at that price, and for their shitty "reasoning" (which was probably just an excuse to not spend fucking chump change)

JUST 2 MILLION

This was TOO EXPENSIVE for the Wilponzis when the Mets BADLY NEEDED a depth piece as badly as anyone else, if not more. This is so fucked up. They weren't even in on him at such a cheap price. They are such criminals.

I wonder if the Phillies try anything tomorrow.

I hope not. I don't want to see any of that macho shit. The last thing we need now is for someone to get hurt. Also it's baseball, not boxing. Hoskins seemed pretty ticked after the game. I guess its possible Rhame tried to him on purpose (worst case, he wanted to hit his back but missed high) but it's more likely he was just trying to pitch tight inside and missed, since the Phillies had been pitching us tight and inside (and missing) our last 5 games.

Anyway.

tweet from Rosenthal this morning says the Brewers are the frontrunners to sign Gio Gonzalez.
Again,completely unacceptable that the Wilpons are unwilling to spend on GIO who is not costly at all, let alone someone like Keuchel , who would immensely help this team, to give the much-needed depth. Again, the man have designated as their 5th starter, they could not trust to go more than 75 pitches in an outing where he looked his best (because they know he starts struggling badly 3rd time through the order). You cannot go through a full season with a guy you can't trust to throw more than 75 pitches under any circumstance as your 5th starter, when you have literally zero options for any starters beyond your 5th. He costs ONLY money. It's completely baseball-criminal to do what the Wilpons are doing to this team.

I suspect Brodie will address it at some point, but it'll probably be via a trade where they have to give up solid prospects in order to bring in a mediocre veteran (along the lines of Gio)... but the fact it has to come to that is bullshit. They do this all the time and it's why their farm system is usually terrible- because they're giving up players they shouldn't have to all the damn time when they can solve their issues just by paying for some goddamn depth. It's almost like they care more about money than winning. Ugh.

hope this isn't the 3rd series in a row where the mets win the first game and lose the next 2

narrator: it wasn't
Wheeler now has more good than bad at least , and Matz too. So there's that. The 4 of them should all bounce back long term, but what they did last year was something that def is suspicious of regression, as the first 3 weeks have shown us, and why they def still need depth.

Jacob Rhame is so bad though. Threw a pitch that went over Hoskins head, 9-0 in the 9th, clearly no intent (nor any reason for it), but Hoskins glared at him a bit and benches emptied... nothing happened. Then it happened again 3 pitches later. Benches didn't even move. It's clear he's just got Mets bullpenitis.

All I'm trying to say is the pitching has been awful to this point - which it has - and they have zero depth, which is not something a team that promises to be all-in should be doing. That's all.

I'm looking at you reg. This isn't about number of wins. This is about making franchise-altering moves that indicate a start to trying to win now and then failing to follow through by not having the proper backing depth. A team that rolls out Jason Vargas every 5th day is *not* what it can to win. Nor is one that only has 4 guys capable of starting a game. Not when they could've signed any one of the Gios or Keuchels that were available during the off-season...... or the ones that are still available.

and yes I know its early and the ERAs are going to be prone to large changes, but right now, they are pitching terribly and have no depth to back them up. they have to pitch better but the front office and owners failure to commit to go all-in set them up to fail. that goes for both starters and bullpen.

But saying everyone is having the worst year of their career right now is a bit of a stretch

check their ERAs if you don't believe me. 4/5 starters have a worse ERA than in any other year in their careers. Plus, we have an empty spot because we have to use AAA guys like Flexen who are not MLB-caliber pitchers. This is completely unacceptable for a team claiming it is trying to compete, to not have any depth to back up this exact situation - injuries and/or struggling.
the pitching is awful right now, bottom 2 in the league for both starters and bullpen, as I explained already.

The bullpen being "pretty much as unreliable as it was most of last year" ... yeah. What does last year have to do with anything? Typical? I'm saying the bullpen is awful and not a single person in it except Diaz can reliably throw strikes. So, I'm confused. Are you agreeing with me its awful?

man, the mets pitching is so broken. all of it. I think every single pitcher in the entire staff is having the worst year of their career so far (except Diaz). Even Vargas, which is saying a ton.

Wheeler is starting to come around. Matz only had one bad start so far, although it was a really bad one. And the bullpen seems pretty typical so far except for Familia. He's been awful for sure.

they have the worst starter ERA in the NL, 0.60 points away from the team 2 spots above them, and the 2nd worst bullpen ERA in the NL. Their pitching up and down is a disaster right now. Wheeler had 2 cataclysmic starts followed by 2 fine starts. I wouldn't call that coming around yet. Matz's most recent start is more typical of the kind of pitcher he is - as soon as he gets in trouble he falls apart. Noah has been extremely bad, and deGrom has been affected by his elbow issue apparently.

The bullpen is 10000000% not "pretty typical" unless you mean their bullpen is typically a disaster (which it is a lot tbf). It's like no one in the bullpen can get an out except for Diaz, and its so badly managed by Callaway. Everyone in the bullpen has been awful. Everyone in the rotation has been awful.

You also seem to have ignored Vargas who has made several appearances, and Flexen who had to make a spot start yetserday, and as of now is the first "go to guy" to start when they need a fill in guy (which will be very often given injuries and needing to get pushed back a day and the like). This team cannot claim they are competing when they are auto-punting every 5th day with Vargas, plus punting anytime one of the other 4 doesn't make a start with Flexen or whatever non-MLB player they call up to fill-in. This means the other 4 have to be 100% healthy and never struggle. Well they're already injured and all of them are struggling and they don't have a single piece of depth to help them.

That's not "all-in". That's called "lying" when you say you're all-in.

~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion

Situation was:

The Mets, with a 1-run lead in the bottom of the 8th put Familia in, which is fine at the moment. But he clearly doesn't have it. The progression is:
Single
Walk
Hard-Hit double play (normally this would be a go-ahead double down the line, but McNeil made a Fantastic play to turn 2)
Walk
Walk

So the bases are loaded with 2 outs, and the Mets with a 1-run lead and they finally take out Familia (2 batters too late but that's a discussion for another day) and this is where any team should put in their best reliever right? Nope. Gsellman is put in, not Diaz. Gsellman promptly walks the next batter on 4 pitches, tying the game. Mercifully, the next batter, Harper, swung at the first pitch and popped up and we went ahead to the 9th and to extras, when the Mets eventually won. The mets are basically saying. No. our best reliever can ONLY pitch 3 outs and he can ONLY pitch the 9th inning. we will never ever use him in any other way
---

~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion
2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS

Might be too late by then, and they NEED one for next year. They really needed to sign a Gio kind of guy, and they blew that.

Also today's win... This is the most upset I've ever been after a win where someone didn't get hurt. Just a complete managerial meltdown and some stuff was uncovered that gives me zero confidence in the way this team is managed.

Mickey Callaway's and Brodie Van Wagenan's commitment to ONLY use Edwin Diaz to close game, to get 3 outs at the end of the game, is beyond infuriating. I understand, I guess, if for his health you don't want him to cross-over between innings, but then why not use him in the toughest situation or to get the most important outs of the game? If your so-called "set-up guy" loads the bases in a 1-run game in the 8th inning, wouldn't you want to use your best pitcher to get out of that situation? Why do you HAVE TO save him for the 9th, why does he HAVE to finish the game and he CANNOT pitch in any other situation? Why can't he pitch and just get that one really important out when you need him to in the 8th, and use someone else for the 9th? What if you have the 3 toughest batters in the lineup due up in the 8th? Why wouldn't you rather use your better pitcher there? It is completely insane and such a close-minded way to manage a bullpen.

He said they're committed to him never getting more than 3 outs, which I don't really agree with, because any reliever should be able to do that once in a while, instead of saying it will NEVER happen. But even that fact accepted, you can still use Diaz where he doesn't cross over between innings and he doesn't have to pitch the 9th! If it makes sense for him to pitch the 8th, they're saying he shouldn't do it because he has to pitch the 9th because reasons (obviously, they're managing to get him a Save, which is a stupid statistic anyway).

It should be simple. Use your best reliever in the toughest spot, or to get the most important outs of the game, when it's clear they will be the most important outs (and it should be obvious if its the 8th inning). That's it.

Brodie: Jason Vargas is our 5 starter.

You're not dissuaded: No. We have confidence in him, confidence in this team & not going to make drastic changes after 1 bad inning of a start where he had a schedule that was derailed. "[Vargas] is a professional and we're excited about what he can do."

fuck this whole fucking org.

I wish they would be in on Kimbrel too, cuz their bullpen is bad, but he's going to want to close I assume, and they can't do that with Diaz there. Unless they get creative but they are statistically challenged so I doubt they'd ever consider that.

Also they're financially challenged anyway so lol

The Mets are 100% one of those teams. There is literally 0 reason for them to not sign Keuchel (or like any of the decent other options in the spring.... Gio Gonzalez, Ervin Santana, James Shields, Wade Miley... like not great names but just some actual goddamn depth. They really fucking dropped the ball super hard by not signing literally ANY SP protection and they did not get called out enough for it at fucking all.

Vargas is truly awful, and they said today they plan on keep trotting him out there.
Callaway basically said yesterday he did not have much confidence in him going forward after they took him out after LITERALLY 0.1 IP of awful baseball, then they said today they're gonna keep pitching him anyway because "he's better than our other options on the club", and he's 100% right, and that's sad. But what happened between yesterday and today that made him change his course? It's clear ownership stepped in because they're fucking cheap dirtbags and won't sign Keuchel even though THERE IS LITERALLY ZERO STARTING PITCHING DEPTH on this club..... and they need to sign 2 SPs for next year anyway after Wheeler/Vargas are gone (hopefully Vargas is gone sooner, but he won't be).

Like it's completely fucking insane and mindbogglingly infuriating they have not addressed this issue at all that they have NO DEPTH and their 5th starter is 100% a guaranteed loss.

The Mets cannot claim theyre trying to contend while giving Vargas the ball every fifth day. BVW lied to us (thanks to the wilpons). Clearly this is a team that doesn't give a fuck about competing and only cares about saving a buck. They could be strong WS contenders if they just signed some additional SP depth, but they don't fucking care. What a fucking waste of an opportunity. So much for "we're all in". Fuck these crooks.

It's a fucking joke a team claiming to compete just trots this guy out there every 5th day when their payroll is fucking junk (and 20M of it is just David Wright's insurance money they don't actually have to pay).

Mets still the best team in the NL :)

nothing much to complain about yet except the bullpen has been pretty awful aside from Diaz (who has been getting hit hard but remaining effective). So I guess sign Keuchel? So we can move Vargas to the bullpen and need depth anyway... Wheeler and Vargas are both gone after next year and theres no pitching prospects so need to sign SPs anyway... how about a 3 year deal for Keuchel? Kimbrel would be nice to have but I assume he wants to close, which can't happen here.

Also god I love beating the Braves. Fuck the chop.

maybe one day this season I can watch a mets win (or loss) without severe agita. today was not that day. staked to a 5-0 early lead then doing nothing else the whole game as the marlins creep back. at 5-4, the 6th run came courtesy of Nimmo getting hit on the hand by a pitch and coming out of the game, and he's probably going to be out 3 weeks despite negative x-rays. That HBP was the critical run since they won 6-5 despite not having Diaz or Familia available tonight and putting runners on 2nd in most of the late innings ISNT BASEBALL FUN
