Pardon my grammar, but in all reality winning three games out of 4 is pretty good. But lets go way back, to yesterday and review a game that the Mets still should have probably won.
- Once again Jerry M. fails to make a decent lineup. Cora first? Gary S. fourth? Santos catching? Can someone please tell Jerry that Santos is not a major leaguer, or that Castro is still a better option at catcher than Santos.
- Even though Jeremy Reed looked like an idiot when he was thrown a warm up ball from the dugout, after coming off the infield, he actually did not look that bad at first base. EVEN SO, he is a solid defensive outfielder. So lets review, you have Sheffield who is old in one corner, Murphy who is an awful left fielder and is an infielder by trade playing the corners, and Reed who before this series has played exactly 3 outs at first base in his entire career. Why isn't Murphy, Tatis, or Church playing first base instead of a solid outfielder in one of the least important defensive positions?
-Angel Pagan hitting for Murphy is questionable, but not terrible.
- Can someone pleeeeeeeeeeeease get a hit when the pitcher walks the bases loaded???
- Needless to say, Balks could be the most subjective call in all of baseball. Bullshit, I will leave it at that.
So on to La La Land, lets keep it up Mets, you cant win them all, but I always hope you will.

Agree with most of your comments, but to play Devil's Advocate, Gary S. does have a .390 obp, and in the last 5 games (started all 5), he's 9-22, 2 doubles, 1 homerun and 3 walks. Play the hot hand for now. Plus, he would only be dropped 1 or 2 spots, it's not that big of a deal. I would agree at this point that Wright should hit 4th since he's the hottest (in hitting terms) player on the team. But if it wasn't for that, I don't have a big gripe with Sheff cleanup.
