But you must have that core. One or two Ayers cannot fix a broken team like the Mets. I do believe they made a major mistake with Murphy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Turner became a player with the Dodgers but I never saw anything from him when he was a Met; so, I did not mind losing him. I wanted to keep Murph.

Jay Kirk Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 I will say even though the Cards have all these young players up from AAA Memphis , they just keep on plugging down there currently 30 games over 500 at 74 and 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 5 hours ago, Jay Kirk said: If you look at the Cards , it is mostly home grown talent with a few pieces from outside sprinkled in. The Cubs are kinda the same way . The core needs to come from inside and then you build around it. Most teams cant afford a merry go round of FA's . That being said if you see one that fits in your chemistry that will make a big difference in the scheme of things you have to pull the trigger . I would not want a bunch of them such as the Yankees have , and they have had some very good success doing it , but they have also had some great teams on paper that flopped. So in my opinion there is no totally right answer , that's the reason GM's make good money. Which is why my point being you need to be tearing down and rebuilding to get that core or you need to add some leadership and instill some confidence in that lineup and going all in. This playing around in the middle not selling or buying...that is just pu$$y footing around and I despise GMs like that. Just trying to play it safe. The fans deserve better. Mets have a core..it’s mostly made up of their staff but they have some decent everyday guys and sometimes you need someone to have faith and bring in some guys that set some expectations for you...else you get a bunch of guys playing with no sense of urgency and not playing with great effort everyday.

I hear what your saying and yes the Mets fans do deserve better. I do not know the GM so I cant say , many time its not the GM holding teams back , it is ownership not willing to spend. There is no way on Gods green earth I wholesale a really decent pitching staff . In my opinion that's what I would build around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kirk Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Cards come from behind and win 8 to 2 , Tyson Ross got the start performed well 2 runs 1 earned in 6 innings after Weaver cut his finger during dinner last night. The hit machine just keeps going . Its to the point now I feel even down they are not out of a game. Its been a fun transformation to watch , its a good medicine during trying times in life in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I do like Cespadas , but he isn't everyday , actually he cant stay healthy . That in itself drags a team down when they bank on someone like that. D said one thing I agree with I would go after Machado the man is a real talent still fairly young and a 5 tool player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you that if we sign him, he will look like Jason Bay, Carlos Baerga, Mo Vaughn, and Roberto Alomar looked like in Mets uniforms. The only difference is that Machado is younger.

2006Coltsbestever Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I love the way Cole Hamels is Pitching tonight. If I was Maddon I would've saved him to Pitch vs the Screwers on Tuesday. That game is more important. Putting Hamels up against Scherzer may be a waste if we can't score. Still 1-0 Nats to the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hamels Pitching great but Mad Max just over powering! The Nats have had one of the best Lineup's and Pitching staffs in Baseball over the last 5 seasons. Not winning a WS with what they have had has been a waste IMO. They may not even make the Playoffs this season?? -Hamels doing his part, still 1-0 to the Bottom of the 7th! We need just 1 run so they pull Max out.
