Message: [QUOTE="FanInNC, post: 5341811, member: 13050"] welp. The freaking marlins seal our fate. Feels like 2007 all over again. I’m trying not to knee jerk react here, but Mendy has to go, right? The low basketball IQ errors and lack of urgency this team had at times - not covering home on a pass ball, not covering third on a stolen base attempt when the pitcher stepped off … these things happening in the most important games of the year! That’s on coaching to me. Pete talked about after the game today that this team didn’t pick each other up enough. The staff sets the tone. They set the standard. If that’s an issue that’s a culture problem and the coach sets the culture. It wasn’t long ago our “pitching lab” was lauded as this model that was the envy of the league. Our pitching is a joke. What happened?? We have a glut of guys who are redundant on the roster (Baty, Vientos, Mauricio, Acuna, McNeil, Marte) all either corner or middle infielders or can’t even play the fiend effectively - please trade away most of them. Make a decision on a 3B and shop the rest. Personally I hope we trade Nimmo in a way. We need better defense in the OF. Soto is obviously a stud bat, he’s fine the OF but he’s not a gold glover. We can’t afford multiple average to sub average OFers. Same on the infield. Vientos can’t field. McNeil is great for versatility but I’d prefer us get a plus glove at 2B. Help our pitching out. McNeil doesn’t hit for power and now doesn’t hit for average. He doesn’t walk a ton. I appreciate him and Nimmo as life long Mets but it’s time to move on. Figure out how to bring Pete back. Lindor and Soto and Alvy are a nice core. McLean is a great piece on the staff. Diaz has been nails. But it’s open season for everyone else IMO. Torrens and Taylor are very nice defensive bench pieces. What a massive disappointment. [/QUOTE]
