Topic	MLB and Baseball Topic #2: Jeff Wilpon is an Embarrass-met
WiggumFan267 09/26/19 2:37:00 PM #481:	Excellent article the other day: https://nypost.com/2019/09/22/mets-must-adopt-playoffs-or-bust-mentality-for-2020/ The keynote: Think of it. The Mets rotation stayed healthy the entire season and yet, barring a miracle, the team will not even break down the wild-card door. Jacob deGrom, Zack Wheeler, Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz and the tandem of Jason Vargas and Marcus Stroman have been there every five days to make their starts. That alone should have been a recipe of success to make the playoffs. Tack on Pete Alonsos Amazin rookie season and you should have really had something going. With his first-inning double, Alonso became the first rookie in major league history to post a 30-50 season 30 doubles and 50 home runs. Add Jeff McNeils huge season as well and that should have been the offensive nucleus to a playoff season. Because of the Mets strong second half, there are some who believe they are moving toward greater accomplishments in 2020. It is that kind of thinking that enables the Wilpons to get away with not making the extra effort in the winter to build a team that is basically guaranteed the postseason, kind of what the Yankees did this past winter with the major parts they added. ... For me it would mean a lot to finish strong and keep pushing, Alonso said. I like to do everything 100 percent. Id like to end the year how Ive been all throughout [the year]. I dont want to have a sour taste in my mouth, knowing that I could do more and keep grinding it out every single day and keep doing what I can. That must be the Mets mindset from Day 1 in the future 100 percent. Maybe that team-wide approach would have kept the Mets from their 40-50 record at the All-Star break. Since then, they have gone 41-24, guaranteeing them only their third non-losing season in the past 11 years. The overriding feeling of this season will be that this Mets team should have done more and should have found its way into at the least the NL wild-card game. --- ~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion 2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS <cite>WiggumFan267 posted [p:927979148] in MLB and Ba...
