- Good bounce back win. Glad the bats came back to life.

- Lagares has been quietly hitting the ball/putting it in play/making shyt happen.

- Matz has no confidence and it shows.

- That at-bat Reyes had in the 7th was atrocious. :snoop: Also has no confidence.

- Glad to see Cespedes hitting again. Look out for him in the next series, he be feasting against ATL.

- Jay Bruce quietly in a mini-slump but I'm positive he'll pick it up again.

- There is zero production coming from the catcher spot right now, Mets gonna have to ride it out for a long time until someone can produce there. Either a trade or free agent pick up,........ or something. :francis:

Don't think we trading with anyone for a catcher... Our farm system sucks.

Pitching coach tells Harvey to relax with his fastball, he gets killed throwing his off speed stuff. He can't win. He gave a lot to the Mets before his body broke down.

I don't think they have the prospects, but the Mets need a legit number three pitcher. The idea of 5 and dive with your 4/5 starters is cool, but your 3/4/5? That bullpen might be toast by June (they have the arms to rotate to do it, but it's still a daunting task). They're going to need a Patrick Corbin type who can go after Syndergaard/deGrom.

Also think the best lineup for the Mets is Bruce at first with Conforto and Nimmo in the OF playing. Makes the lineup more dangerous.

Had a chance to sign Arrieta or Lance Lynn, but they cheaped out and went with Vargas.

Why I didn't like the Adrian Gonzalez signing to begin with.

Y'all notice how Harvey can't put away hitters anymore? This is hard to watch

:snoop:

edit: Harvey hasn't pitched more than 5 innings in his last 11 starts. He looks like he's just throwing and not pitching. 4 pitches in and ATL had 1st and 3rd zero outs. Harvey ain't even trade material at the moment, hasn't been for a long time.

Even though we should've, we have plenty of solid options imo. The real question is are we really expecting Matz, Harvey and Wheeler to all be trash?

Yes, I am. Harvey was once great. Matz had a few games and Wheeler was never good.

Don't know how long you can let Harvey keep going. If the front office spent money on pitching in the offseason, you wouldn't be too worried. After Noah and Jacob, it's a crapshoot.
