The Tailgate

. Not again, my god not again. I was having so much fun watching baseball, the Mets were good, the Yankees suck(still do) and then August hit. The Mets are 4-12 so far this month and they've just been bad. Since the All-Star break, literally the only one who's been some what consistent is Pete Alonso. Stroman and Walker have been terrible, Rich Hill hasn't been good and Carlos Carrasco has been just terrible since returning for the first time this year from the DL. Now I know injuries have absolutely destroyed us recently, Lindor, deGrom and now Baez. I full on knew what we were getting when we traded for Javy Baez, dude is a feast of famine kind of play and there isn't a pitch he didn't like to swing at. But god damn not again, this fucking team cannot do this again. A month ago the Mets were 5.5 games up in 1st place in the division, now they're sitting 3.5 back and in 3rd. The pitching has to be better and the bats have to wake up, because right now this could be a very embarrassing end to this season. With September approaching the Mets should be able to get all of the three guys back that I had named but, will it be too late?
So far the trades the Mets made at the deadline have not been too great, Rich Hill like I said has been awful and Javy Baez is hitting just .171 since being traded to New York. Hopefully the most recent stint on the IL will wake Baez's bat up and help the Mets get back into the playoff picture. If the Mets can't win this division I think they'll have some serious thinking to do during the off-season, to be honest? I think even if they win the division they still have a ton of thinking to do with this roster going forward. Let's be honest this team could win the division but a World Series team? They're not there yet. Conforto is set to be a free agent at the end of the year and the rumor is they'll either let him walk or he is going to accept the 1 year qualifying offer. An upgrade at 3rd is probably needed as well then they need to figure out what to do with Baez who is also a free agent, so there is some definite shit to figure out with this team. I can't believe they're gonna fucking blow it again, fire Rojas too why not? He stinks
