Pressure's On!

The other day I went to the game against the Cubs. The fans want the Wilpon’s to sell the team. If they can’t get get the players needed then why not sell?

It was Jacob deGrom against Jake Arrieta and you knew that deGrom was going to need to be perfect if the Mets were going to have a chance with the offensive inefficiency. As a matter of fact, as the person I went to the game with said, “If it wasn’t for deGrom, the Mets wouldn’t have scored.” It seems that that’s a running theme. The Mets pitching has taken all the responsibility, on both sides of the ball. deGrom had a double, and Granderson later chased him in with a double for the Mets lone run. 

It seems like deGrom was feeling some pressure to be absolutely perfect and you can’t expect that from a pitcher. deGrom is a very good  pitcher, one that has exceeded expectations and has surprised me in how he’s been in his sophomore year in the big leagues. I thought there was a sophomore slump in his future but he has proved me and most likely a few other fans wrong, and we are enjoying it!

The Mets need to trade for a bat, and don’t just make a trade to make a trade, no don’t do that Sandy. Find a batter, a young one, one that will provide good offensive numbers and go out and get that bat to rejuvenate the Mets swing.

deGrom shouldn’t be feeling the pressure, he should know that the offense is going to have his back. This pitching staff as a whole is hitting better than this every day offense. Matz at first base and deGrom at shortstop is starting to sound more potent of an offense than the one I’m seeing daily. 

Sandy said it's unfair to fire Terry Collins because it's not his fault and Sandy is right it's not, it's the Wilpon's along with Sandy Alderson's fault becuase he hasn't provided Collins with the necessary bat to compete. Don't make a trade just to make a trade Sandy, New York Mets fans are loyal, not stupid. Make a trade like Billy Beane or Theo Epstein and bring in something for now with the future in mind. C'mon Sandy, if you're going to have Terry's back off the field, have it on the field too, have it completely!

Who do you think the Mets should get? Would you give up one of the big pitching prospects to get him? Which one? Do you think Terry Collins should finish out the year as the Mets manager?
