There is more than one thing holding this team back. The BP has been the largest black eye recently. It was odd, April was stellar and like a light switch went from great to atrocious over night.
@@jamesbuckley8917 I do not disagree, the BP has been overworked for the duties BPs are to perform in the modern day mode of baseball. Honestly, I see this entire disaster of a season in the management first and foremost. Mendoza is clearly in over his head in my opinion.
You should listen to the jolly clip. He only talked about this season not his career, and talked about his stats in wins vs losses and Alonso’s stats when the team is up I believe 4 or more runs vs when they aren’t. The stats are massively different from the numbers he read
starters need to go longer - that’s what holding them back. McNeil was partially holding the Mets back and once his a** got benched they started scoring
Option Stewart and bring up Ben Gamel(.962 OPS in AAA). Gamel is a left handed 32 year old who could DH and pinch hit and play OF/1B. Release Taylor, who his not hitting, is a right handed hitter, and an outfielder. Bring back Baty and platoon him at 2B with Iglesias. Bench McNeil. He can play occasionally in RF/LF or 2B.
This year, Pete's RISP AVG is .222 That is way down from his previous years. Pete's OPS with RISP: 2024 .690 2023 .918 2022 1.099 2021 .824 2020 .891 2019 .946
Pete is good at hitting pitcher's mistakes. That said, the eye test tells me, he was CLUTCH in his ROOKIE year. But if you want CLUTCH, see 2016 Yoenis Cespedes and Daniel Murphy - when the Mets needed to be put on their backs, they came thru.
Lindor is obviously coming around..... unfortunately it took two months and one third of the season to accomplish finding his swing. This isn't the first time he's struggled mightily for extended months in Queens. So what happens now?? Well....if its like the past.....he will finish with good numbers overall and everyone will forget how many games he could have helped win if his bat was reasonable early in the season. Im not trying to bash Lindor. Hes very talented but i can't accept his inability to add to the offense for the first 60 games of the season. He needs to figure out before the season begins why he can't find his swing until he steps up to the plate 200 times.
Perhaps the "sleep expert" who zeroed in on Severino's sleep pattern may help Jeff McNeil. If I remember correctly, McNeil started his slide around the time of the birth of his first child. Maybe it is a sleep issue. Just saying. 🤷♀️
Put your foot on the breaks. We’re playing terrible teams at the moment. You can’t make an assessment after playing the D-Back and Nats. We could go on another huge slide after this series again. But the positive is Lindor looks better. He needs to be the lead off guy permanently.
I'm no defender of advance metrics, but if the argument for keeping a.220 hitter in the four hole is RBI ops then this statistic is damning.Certainly aligns with the eye test. Only time I ever see this guy walking off is back to the dugout.
I know that some Mets fans will have hope if the team gets to 4 games out of the wildcard, but they still need to clean house. Trade Alonso, Marte, Martinez, Bader, Sevi and Manaea. Stock the farm system with good, young talent and play the kids next year.
there are a gazillion things wrong with this team of which the bullpen is the least - they can't hit, field, run or last the full season. What a pathetic $302M payroll. Cohen ruined this team.

The METS' bullpen is not the problem. The problem lies with starters that hardly ever go past the 5th or 6th innings thus you have an overworked bullpen.
It would be great to have the starters go 6-7 innings every time. But regardless of how long the starters go, you can’t enter the ninth inning up 3 and have that lead threatened every single time. That’s a bullpen issue and someone is going to have to step up and force themselves into the closer role.
They'll have to pull off a 20 win month in order for me to believe in them. These guys are notoriously known for getting red hot for 3 days, then ice cold for weeks or months.
Fix the pitching and you've only got a .500 team; that is not enough for the postseason. Address the field: you have one decent outfielder, one decent infielder, and one catcher. Retain those guys and rebuild. It will take some time, and in the meantime, do the Bill Veeck thing.
Bad take. They'd be over .500 with just a closer that didn't set the game on fire. If you fixed the rest of the BP and starters went deeper they'd be way over .500
The bullpen was a strength for a while, but too many starts that only went 4 or 5 innings forced it to take too much of the load.

Because Luis Rojas Mendoza over-worked them. He pulls the starters too soon, even with a 6-man rotation.
Nunez is the closer. Luis Rojas, I mean Mendoza just doesn't know yet.
Nunez used to play second for Yankees.
Would love to see him get more high-leverage opportunities. I’d say he’s definitely deserving of it.

“Low leverage “ homers OMG please stop

Uncanny how this team has not been able to align all it’s facets.
No it's not, this happens more often than it doesn't
And the main reason we signed Martinez was to hit behind Alonso forcing the pitchers to pitch to Pete and he's not hitting behind him!!! Tell me why
Luis Rojas Mendoza
@@jamesbuckley8917 🤣🤣 that's funny
a healthy Peterson is a good Peterson.
He is still not all the way back,
wait till we see the strikeouts tick up,
he is capable of 10 most times out.
If you keep this core, you will go through the same thing next season.

“Low leverage “!homers ?? Are we trying to run Alonso out of town … we did that with Straw how did that work out for us?
Strawberry had one good year with the Dodgers, then tapered off.
He can't hit elite pitching. What you gonna do, damn Pete fanboy!
Straw won a world series with the Mets.Pete's done shit!

Pete Alonso has the most game winning rbi in mets team history in 5 years.
Come on
False.
@@lordt78who is it then…he set the record in 2022
Not this year
Could Lopez possibly be forgiven? Can Mets hep him get the treatment(s) he needs? Seems like bullpen is missing an arm.
The bullpen is overworked ppl cause the rotation can go over six innings
I’ll probably never believe in Lindor. 👎👎
The "ONE" thing huh. Perhaps you haven't been watching the erratic starting pitching and offense that goes stone cold on any given night.
So if Pete is only valuable and good in low leverage situations then he can't get a big contract..
The Mets need to sweep there defense is unbelievable 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
starting pitchers killed the bullpen
Luis Rojas Mendoza is why
They need to Bett up 😲😞😞😔😬😳😬 the bad 😞😔 teams

Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor are not clutch. J.D. Martinez is far more dependable.

The Mets have a prime opportunity to make up some ground in June. We’ll have to see if they can take advantage.
The Mets mostly suffer from the loss of Jeff Wilpon. Steve should have let him run the club for five years.

Lindor is good not great. Over hyped and over paid. Lindor and Alonso BOTH only perform in low leverage situations
True for Lindor, but only this year for Pete:

2023 .918
2022 1.099
2021 .824

Get rid of the times Lindor is terrible and look he’s a slight lily above average hitter.
