Show Notes The postseason is another example of why tanking is bad. Beware of lazy reporting on the Mets managerial search. Historically the Mets haven’t synced up the right manager during the right time. The media is already focused on the wrong things. Example is Beltran’s decade-old feud. Joe Girardi is the right guy at the right time. His Yankees tenor wasn’t easy and he has a track record of succeeding in adverse situation. The Mets can’t afford to be wrong in this decision.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Show Notes - Mets Math was correct. 31 wins for 90 was the magic number. The Mets fell short. - The Mets got beat and played tight at home. - The second half showed elite offensive potential. - There are 6 to 7 core offensive players to be excited about. It's a unique time in Mets history. - Don't be surprised if Mickey Callaway returns. - Why replace Callaway with another unknown. His faults are areas that can be improved upon. - Hiring anyone outside of a New York tested manager like Joe Girardi is foolish. - Thank you to the listeners for your support.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Show Notes September Baseball isn’t the problem, bullpens are the problem. Mickey Callaway was right for putting Edwin Diaz back in a big spot. You can’t bench Diaz or take him away from the late innings. Seth Lugo isn’t the answer in the bullpen he should be in the 2020 rotation.

Show Notes Too much anger over the Mets waiving Adeiny Hechavarria and not signing Billy Hamilton. Two key players in Brandon Nimmo and Jed Lowrie- who were top 25 offensive players in 2018- are on the horizon.

Show Notes The 3-3 road trip was acceptable, but there is a lot to clean up. Update on Mets Math with 19 of 25 at home. The big story isn't Alonso - we all knew he would come around - it's the emergence of Amed Rosario. Since July 1st he's a top-10 offensive SS in baseball. Top three in runs created. Rosario's defense has improved and if his performance is sustainable you have five core offensive players for next season. The bullpen situation requires Callaway to just go with who he has and hopes for the best. It makes 7-innings from the starters imperative.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Show Notes The Mets fans were the 10th man this weekend and did an outstanding job. The doubleheader sweep invigorated the fans and brought them to another level. There is a unique connection with this team and the fans and city. Can we point to the homegrown and local connection as an advantage in the pennant race? The Mets offense is underrated. JD Davis gives them 4 in-prime offensive players in the top 15 in the NL. The Edwin Diaz conundrum is one that isn’t easy to solve. It appears mental. Diaz can be the difference between playoffs and Mickey Callaway coming back in 2020. Don’t sleep on Kansas City this coming weekend.
