Message: [QUOTE="FanInNC, post: 5307477, member: 13050"] I’m late to the Mets thread this year … just weighing in on the spiral we went through… Happened as Senga went down. No Senga, no Manaea, no Canning, no Megill. I mean that’s starters 1, 2, 5 and 6. Suddenly the 3 is 1, 4 is 2 and 7,8,9 become 3,4, 5. That’s rough stuff no matter who you are. A brutal brutal stretch where the offense struggled to pick up the pitching. The starters giving no length meant the pen was taxed. But all teams go through it. Wasn’t long ago the Phillies lost 9 out of 10. The Yankees are in a dreadful patch right now. It’s baseball and it’s a long season. Soto has been on fire lately, Nimmo is starting to produce power more consistently, Marte has been playable with the bat. I’m confident Alonso will regain form, he’s still not horrid even though he’s slumping some. Lindor is streaky. Always has been. But he’s the captain of the team and the guy I’m least worried about. This team needs Alvarez, Vientos, Baty and/or Mauricio to figure it out. IMO the lack of development from the young guys has started to show itself. [/QUOTE]
