Say Jeurys Familia gets dealt. Hey, it's 95% likelihood, right? No big-league relievers come back in the deal or any other July tradeoffs. You got what you got. You're the Mets, and you ain't gonna see Ramos or Mejia until next year (Montero, too!), but you're going to need somebody to anchor the bullpen, or at least try to. Who you gonna call?

Plawecki most days.

Maybe the title of "closer" will help him turn it around. Gsellman and Lugo are really the only two good pitchers in that bunch. If Swarzak fails it's likely one of them. Probably Gsellman.

The #BlametheWilpons answer is not anyone that's going into arbitration because save totals still seem to affect that.

MFS62 Jul 19 2018 07:43 PM Re: Closing Soon

In the pre-season predictions, I said Gsellman would emerge as the closer by the end of the year, and I'm sticking with that. Later

Lefty Specialist Jul 19 2018 07:58 PM Re: Closing Soon

Have to believe the job is Gsellman'gs to logse.

d'Kong76 Jul 19 2018 08:03 PM Re: Closing Soon

Agreed, assuming you mean it's his to gsloooz.

smg58 Jul 19 2018 09:41 PM Re: Closing Soon

Lugo. Gsellman's tank is empty right now.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2018 10:28 PM Re: Closing Soon

Tim Time. Peterson's is the only mugshot with an away jersey. He stands out.

d'Kong76 Jul 19 2018 10:30 PM Re: Closing Soon

Of course first off it could just be a week or two of Gselugo?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 19 2018 10:39 PM Re: Closing Soon

I'll risk it all, Alex. Who is Burly Bashlor?

metsmarathon Jul 20 2018 01:10 AM Re: Closing Soon

Tim Tebow.

Edgy MD Jul 20 2018 01:18 AM Re: Closing Soon

It might have provided a little more drama if I phrased it as "Who is going to lead the SHaMs in saves?"

G-Fafif Jul 20 2018 01:24 AM Re: Closing Soon

No closer. Let situational anarchy reign.

Ceetar Jul 20 2018 03:35 AM Re: Closing Soon

Mets are going to dominate their opponents so much that no save situations will present themselves.

metirish Jul 20 2018 01:24 PM Re: Closing Soon

I went with Peterson ,don't ask me why

Vic Sage Jul 20 2018 06:20 PM Re: Closing Soon

"other" closer by committee

Centerfield Jul 20 2018 06:28 PM Re: Closing Soon

So it took months of bad bullpen decisions, including several occasions where decisions were dictated by the save rule and the stated role of 'closer', and also also the top three pre-season options being traded, hurt and comically bad, but we may finally see Mickey honor his word that the 9th inning will be dictated by matchups. Media: Why haven't you used Jerry Blevins in a month? MC: We are going by matchups, and we haven't faced any Little Leaguers

bmfc1 Jul 20 2018 07:05 PM Re: Closing Soon

The Mets need a closer, that's funny! Oh, you're serious?

G-Fafif Aug 12 2018 11:31 PM Re: Closing Soon

Anarchy and Chaos are indeed reigning, and not for the worse. No set closer, no noticeable repercussions thus far. Since Familia was traded, Swarzak's saved two, Gsellman, Blevins and now Lugo one.
