OT: NY Mets 2025 Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
If Peterson is our 1, we have no chance. McLean needs to be the ace and is well on his way.

Well considering the Marlins win 47% of the time, I think maybe you are exaggerating a bit.
A tad, but let’s face it this team historically breaks our collective backs way more often than they should
Sproat is making a strong case for himself tonight. 7 innings, 91 pitches, 0 runs, 3 hits, 2 BB, 9 K.
Our veteran starting pitching is trash right now and that sweep over the Phillies is all but forgotten and moot. And as I sit back and observe, I realize now that its all Cedric Mullins fault.
Tong, McLean, Sproat and Scott. And we'll ride whatever fifth we've got.
WTF? Which in this case means Why The Face? Of the myriad of problems this team faces, Buehler to the Phillies is IMO the least.
Pitching coach in charge of a complete embarrassment still sitting a seat that isn’t even warm is a disgrace
Manaea has more years.
Senga has two more years.
Holmes has two more years.
Diaz likely has two more years.
Montas has one year which is already dead money.
I think the only way Stearns can address the pitching is: "Mr. Cohen, how much guaranteed salary are you willing to eat?"
I’d take him over Senga, Holmes, etc in a playoff start no questions asked.
On a bit more fun note- Lindor and Soto are both obviously going for 30/30
Good chance Soto ends up with almost 120 runs, 40+ HR, 100rbi, 30 SB
I’m not sure but I think when we signed him, we all would have said those numbers were as advertised or maybe better

Yeah.
Digging a little deeper, the offense has been way too inconsistent. There have been long stretches of not hitting, followed by long stretches of a ton of hitting, and recently significant stretches during which both of those things happen and not much in between. The offense has much too often been either white hot or icy cold.
And the pitching has fallen off a cliff with the fall gaining velocity. It's gotten so bad that it spread to Peterson. I'm not sure that relying on more and more new guys from the minors is sustainable. At some point, enough of the veterans on the staff have to get their acts together or this will end more quickly than we all want.
I feel Peterson just had a bad game and will be back to himself. My gut tells me that Manaea and Senga are still not close to 100%. Holmes has really hit an inning wall. Bring up Sproat and see if he can at least give us a couple of starts- for nothing else, but to bring a bit more of a break to those 3.
I don't know why we felt we needed to get Mullins- he does'nt really bring much to us and I would rather see McNeil in CF and Baty/Vientos/Marte playing then have him in the lineup. Helsley has been a disaster. Soto (pitcher) has been typical Soto and Rogers has been good.
Stearns offseason and Trade Deadline, has not been great. Soto, the hitter was a no brainer if you have money so he dosent really get credit for that.
On Mullins, it made sense as an improvement to the CF play. Mullins is an excellent outfielder like Taylor (though not quite as good) and for his career (as opposed to more limited numbers this year) his offensive splits against righties is much better than Taylor's.
The problem is that he hasn't hit much so far for the Mets. If from here out he simply performs against righties as he has for his career, it'd a be a nice upgrade to the CF position and give us flexibility late in games.
