Kyle Tucker is nasty man. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him have an MVP type season in the next few years

Altuves hand might be broken

Why is Bard still in?

You guys should understand that Edwin Diaz has almost nothing to do with whether the Mets reach the postseason.

A closer is not THAT valuable.

Most closers aren't, but Diaz was worth a full three wins last year (Fangraphs model). That is insane value for a reliever, but especially a closer

He is that elite.

Another serious injury

Derosa should have been ready to pull him after two batters based on how he’s looked, terrible management there

 

[DonB90]

Derosa and Andy Petit are trash fukking bromance bout to cost us

 

[MenacingMonk]

What an inning. And only 1 out.

 

[DonB90]

Welp

Rare I would directly put the blame on a manager, and I just watched La Russa for two seasons, but that was just horrific management by Derosa
