Let's assume Wheeler comes back in 16

And the other guys stay healthy

5 man rote

Matt
Thor
Hair
Wheels
Matz

Wouldn't that be fun to watch for the next decade

Yes, it will be fun to watch. Starting rotation and bullpen are looking like strengths for the next few years.

The question now is will we be able to put a defense behind them that can make plays and an offense that can manufacture enough runs to win consistently.

and hopefully, Montero comes back strong for some added depth.

I really hope Nimmo and Conforto pan out as well. It's been a long time since we developed an OF.

We got one guy coming back tonight. Be nice if he can stay a while.

It's so hard to watch this team...bottom of the 9th, no runs(again). No way I am staying up for extra innings.

Yup, I'm glad I went to bed. Pathetic.

Murphy-Can hit-no pop.

Granderson-Streaky-but he's like a lifetime .230 hitter.

Duda-may end up regretting not accepting the Mets offer earlier this year. He may end up being a one year wonder, a la Ike Davis.

Legares-awesome fielder, but man he has no pop at all and not hitting for average.

Cuddyer-stupid signing from the start.

Flores-I actually like as a 2nd baseman-I think he'll hit and has some pop and he's still young.

Tejada-sucks

Pawecki-Rookie, wasn't even suppose to be here.

Bench-just pitiful.

Trading one of our top prospects for a bat? I don't think it will help this year.

Yup - definitely was not worth watching those last two innings - or the first nine either for that matter. Typical Mets perfromance. Bad defense -- inability to turn double play extends the top half of the inning, leading to runs. They actually lucked out in the top of the inning with some bad baserunning by the Cubs or it could have been worse.

Speaking of bad baserunning, how about Lagares on 2nd and not advancing to 3rd on a grounder to the 1st basemen earlier in the game, next at bat, Lester uncorks a wild pitch. Cost us a run. And how can you forget the botched suicide squeeze.

But, wow, some of these at bats are beyond pitiful. Top of the 11th, Duda takes a strike 2 right down the middle then chases a pitch up out of the strike zone for strike 3. Then Plawecki, with the tying runs on base takes 3 strikes. The guy sees 5 pitches with a chance to tie the game and does not take a single swing. These at bats are horrible. How often do we see guys take two strikes and chase the 3rd to get themselves out.

And tomorrow we get Kershaw. Odds on a no hitter might be even money in Vegas for that one. Over under on baserunners allowed. I would set it at 4.5 (and that might be too high).

Update:

Mets scored a run. Naturally, deGrom was the guy that got the offense going with a double, knocked in by Granderson. I really thought they might have been done with scoring for the season.

Back to losing two innings later

Time to release half these losers starting with Dudu, Tejada, Cuddyer and Campbell and bring up Vegas.

Also designate Wright for assignment.

Cuddyer likely going to join his buddy on the DL.

Tomorrow we will probably hear that deGrom hurt his hand punching the cooler in the dugout.

Maybe if they swung at pitches that are right down the middle of the plate. Take some more called third strikes.
