Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Mets are 9-4. In a way I want Vargas to get lit up (with the Mets continuing to score plenty of runs of course, and finding a way to win the game), because I think the sooner that BVW realizes that Vargas is a serious weak link, the better off the Mets will be. Keuchel’s obviously still out there and I’d be interested, but if he still thinks he’s getting a big deal now, then it’s simply not going to happen with the Mets (nor should it). BP is scary too, but not like the Mets don’t beat up on other pens. Seems like an epidemic, as far as MLB pens go, early in 2019. Yeah, an early season sweep in the Braves’ house would be huge. Not sure if the Mets are the best team...really hope Cano picks it up...as a guy who clearly picks and chooses when he’s going to give it his all, he is going to be such an albatross when his decline years start kicking in. It’s definitely too early to worry too too much about him, but like Has mentioned, I really hope he’s not friggin’ Robert Alomar Part Deux.

'7' Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 And Vargas is wretched off the bat. He has no place on this team. Just about done as a major league starter He is Mr. Momentum killer. A horrible horrible player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 How is this fair to the rest of the team. He was garbage last year. He's gone 1 inning, 5 innings, 1 inning this year. It has a trickle down effect on the rest of the squad. His horrible play crushes the pen. He needs to be pulled from this rotation ASAP. Absolutely pulled asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Yeah, sorry BVW, don’t tell me it’s all about being a contender, then put a complete zilch like Vargas out there. There’s nothing there. Move the fvck on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 And as much as Vargas clearly isn't the answer, neither is Corey Oswalt. The Mets either gotta flip Lugo or Gsellman back into the rotation (the former option weakening the pen, the latter might not be much better at this point but Gsellman's not really a short guy at this point either), or actually go to the outside for a solution. Maybe they gotta hope Dom has some value where they could flip him for an arm or two, or they can somehow finagle away Gio Gonzalez though I doubt Brodie wants to give up something for a guy he could have had for nothing.

NJDevs4978 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 When I first heard Ronnie was taking a leave of absence I was worried it was over this stupid book stuff...turns out it's actually worse Hopefully everything works out okay.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Yeah, enough with Oswalt too. Think Has has it right...if they insist on going in house, then go with Gsellman or Lugo and see what happens. Mets actually set a club record last night...most games in a row with 6+ runs (7 games). 5 hours ago, NJDevs4978 said: When I first heard Ronnie was taking a leave of absence I was worried it was over this stupid book stuff...turns out it's actually worse Hopefully everything works out okay.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 This series was a solid reminder that the Mets may be able to stay involved in a division race, but aren’t good enough to pull away anytime soon. Especially if they insist on trying to make Vargas happen. Rotation is also overrated...deGrom will be fine, but it just goes to show how hard it is to be SO damned good in back-to-back seasons...if he’s 75-80% of what he was last season, that will still be plenty terrific. But right now NONE of these guys are efficient or able to go deep...way too many 5-6 inning starts, and the pen is getting killed. The rotation just has a way of being collectively underwhelming too often...it’s time to stop labeling that group as being better than it really is.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 And on the Vargas front, we got the “We’re smarter than all of you” line from BVW...they’re going to stick with Vargas, even though he’s largely been sh!t since the middle of 2017 (save for an 8-start garbage-time run last year, that apparently has BVW and others convinced that somehow Vargas will do that again). So basically the Mets are still the Mets, when push comes to shove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Yep, keep being a cartoon character and a thrower Noah. No one’s impressed.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 And I’m REALLY done with Familia. Any other former losers you want to bring back on three-year deals BVW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Familiar can no longer be allowed to pitch the 8th in close games. He's a back of the bullpen type guy at this point. Mop up guy. Somebody you throw in here and there. He's just terrible and single handily costing us games. His decline has been happening for some time now. He's not going to turn it around. He was wonderful when in his prime. Almost lockdown. But his physical abilities are just continuing to erode Edited April 16, 2019 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 And as of now it's tough to find upgrades outside the org regarding the pen. Season is still young. Everybody thinks they're still in it. But this is going to cost us dearly. And for a team that can hit as well as we can it's not fair for them to see their work be erased by gutless cowards in the pen.
