    Dear Luis Rojas Mendoza,
    Please stop pulling one of your best hitters(Vientos) for 8th-9th inning defense.
    Please stop pulling your starting pitchers with less than 100 pitches.
    Please use Nunez in the 8th or 9th inning.
    Thank you,
    Every Met Fan

    Come on, Ryan. You should know better. The Pete Crow-Armstrong trade was a winner for the Mets.
    Javier Báez was great for the Mets in 2022. In 47 games he batted .299 with 9 HR, 5 SB, 22 RBI and an OPS of .886.
    Trevor Williams was also good for Mets. In 2021 Williams had an ERA of 3.06. In 2022 he was invaluable to the Mets as a long reliever and a spot starter. He posted an ERA of 3.21 that year
    Meanwhile, what is Pete Crow-Armstrong besides a guy with three names? He isn't even a starter and with good reason. He's hitting .192 with 1 HR and an OPS of .520. Three years after that trade his career stats are .174 BA, 1 HR, and a .486 OPS.
    True, he's a good defensive center fielder, but so are a lot of guys, including Bader.
    The notion that the Mets got beat on that trade (and I hear it everywhere) is a misnomer.
    To answer your question: NO. I wouldn't want Pete Crow-Armstrong patrolling the outfield for the Mets.

    I am a Jeff McNeil supporter, but wow, he is just useless at the plate. His defense is good and he can play 7 positions, but he just can't be batting every day. Just can't do it. At a minimum, he must lose playing time vs. righties and let Iglesias get half the starts, not just 30% of them with lefties on the opposing mound.

    @4:30 you ask why make it more dicey? The entire bullpen is DICEY! A starter is a starter because he is a better pitcher. In all other positions they upgrade the defense later in the game. The Pitcher is the MOST IMPORTANT defensive position and yet, as the games goes on the position gets increasingly depreciated and often at the most critical moment they have the guy on the lowest wrung. Peterson should NOT have been taken out when he was! He easily could have gone another inning. Also, relievers have to go 2 innings so that the dregs at the bottom of the barrel are not in games at critical ju8nctures. Baseball has gone from dumb to stupid in how they use pitchers.

    I agree with the majority of fans commented about get bullpen help as soon is possible otherwise the Mets can fall again without keeping this special run for reach a wildcard spot going..The Mets needs to make some decisions now: 1-Try to trade Jeff Mcneil with 1 of the elite prospect (10 to15 list) for a good proven reliever 95 miles plus fastball with some experience to be a setup pitcher before Diaz..2-Make drastic bullpen changes asap and get rid all ineffective pitchers: Matt Festa, Tyler Jay, Adam Ottavino, Sean Reid Foley, Danny Young and Ty Adcock needs to go to the minors or assignment..3-Bullpen now..Tylor Megill, Daniel Núñez, Edwin Diaz, Adrian Houser, Red Garret, Jake Diekman, Grant Hartwick..A setup quality pitcher mentioned before via trade..4- If Mcneil goes trade, bring immediately Luis A. Acuña to manage 2B with Iglesias..5-Give more respect (Mendoza) to Mark Vientos (After JD Martínez the best "clutch hitter" Mets has) defensively. He improved a lot and is playing great..Keep him in the lineup is a plus.6-Bring Scott and Butto to be starters. Rotation : 1-Severino, 2-Manaea,3-Scott, 4-Peterson 5-Butto and insert Senga when is totally ready..Trade Quintana for bullpen help..LETS GO METS!!!!

    The Mets have a chance this year. You can be as optimistic as you wish but the fact remains that’s not always the case. So, as much as you want to prioritize the future, you have to consider the present. There is great importance given to the relief corps during the season but it is even greater if they reach the playoffs; you definitely must consider the present and immediate future if you’re considering a sustainable team through time; it is a much better calling card for signing Free Agents (Soto, for example) that may put you over the top.

    Lots of wannabe major league pitchers in Mets bullpen. Jay looked horrible in a very easy assignment. Diekman needs to go. He never does anything with ease.....he complicated his appearances by trying to be too crafty when it's just necessary to throw strikes and challenge opponents. I would not at all be surprised to see Baty traded at the deadline. Hed probably handle a smaller market team and I'm sure there's teams interested in pursuing him.
