IGT 6/8/2018: MFY@NYM -- Fuck Ichiro's Former Team

This time, Jacob deGrom's brilliant no-decision will come in a righteous cause.

Some worthless prick will pitch for the opposition.

We are all waiting breathlessly for one of Fmann's classic KTEs.
The games themselves will pale by comparison.

Oh, Joe Beningo on WFAN suggests that his fellow Mets fans go out of town for the weekend to avoid both the games and MFY fans.
I disagree. It will be so much fun to revel in the victories, starting with tonight.

I know I've been saying this, but the Mets are extremely due. the offense IS actually better than this. They WILL hit. Would be a nice time to wake up and start that 8-4 streak they need to get back into respectability with a sweep.

Re: IGT 6/8/2018: MFY@NYM -- Fuck Ichiro's Former Team

It would be awesome if Steven Matz could pull a Mlicki, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Matz has never thrown a complete game in his career. And this season, he's only thrown seven innings once. The likelihood of throwing a complete game shutout seems remote.

Also remote are the chances of the Mets scoring six runs in a single game. Six runs accounts for all the run scoring for June.

The likelihood of both of these things happening in the same game...

I don’t believe the window is closing on this core. deGrom and Noah are still young and under control. Nimmo and Conforto are stars. Rosario still has great potential. Lugo and Gsellman are weapons in the pen and Alonso is on his way.

The problem is that they are not supplementing this core.

You can rebuild again. But unless we hit the jackpot and are able to develop an entire team like Houston, we will be in this same position 7 years from now when the rebuild materializes again. And we will be lucky to have someone as good as Jake or Noah.

I would have agreed with you before 2017. This team is so much better than this. I gotta believe that.

IMO if they blow it up, go rebuild now, and trade deGrom (and maybe Thor), the window is shut for the foreseeable future.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

Are you drunk? I agree that deGrom and Noah are young and controllable. Beyond that you're hopelessly optimistic. Nimmo, Conforto, Rosario and Alonso (?) have shown little sustained ML production. The love affair with our young "stars" is baffling. Cespedes makes this lineup work-- without him they are punchless.

This is a .500 team. Windows aren't closing because they were never open. They 11-1 start was a mirage.
