ASH1962 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 The Mets season ended after lost last night to a pitcher who put forth one of (if not) the best pitching performance(s) my 54 year old eyes have ever seen in a playoff game. The Mets were toast from pitch number 1. What was amazing is Noah Syndergaard threw a spectacular game as well, but in sports, someone has to win and someone has to lose. The NY Jets should take note of what a team can do if they work hard and combine a good manager, a lot of heart, young and veteran talent, top flight coaching/leadership, and belief that they can win. From what I see, this Jet team is not only lacking talent in certain major spot(s), but they lack leadership and heart. Look at the difference in personnel on both teams in proportion to each teams respective competition in their respective sports. The Jets are in no way devoid of talent and on paper, should be competitive every game no matter who they play. The Mets on the other hand, were all injured and and top rely on young minor league players to help get them to the playoffs, a remarkable feat by the way. Think about where this Met team was in early August, 2 games under .500 and 6.5 games out of the wildcard, behind STL, SF, PIT and MIA for that playoff spot. I would say that is akin to a 4-6 record after 10 weeks in the NFL and going on a 6 game winning streak to get into the playoff tournament. The Mets lost David Wright, Neil Walker, Lucas Duda, Matt Harvey, Jake DeGrom, Steve Matz, got nothing from Zack Wheeler rehabbing, got nothing from Travis D'Arnaud who is just clueless at this point, Michael Conforto was repeatedly sent up and down to the minors all season, yet had the fortitude to bust their buts to make the run that propelled them into the WC game. This Jet team seems to walk around with a sense of entitlement whereby they think they are way better then they actually are, and do not have to work hard to win, or, they are feeding off of their moribund head coach. This is not a bash Todd Bowles thread, but you have to wonder how a guy who is a zombie basically, can motivate millionaire players to work hard and perform at the top of their industry. Would you listen to Bowles? How many times have we heard one word answers from him, along with the standard Kotite'ish "We have to get better" 's, and the Rex / Hermish "We have to clean up these mistakes" etc? Anyway, I am so proud of the Mets and the job Terry Collins, Sandy Alderson, and the entire Met management and FO have done to make them a perennial contender. I wonder, if Sandy Alderson can come and be the Jets GM after the Mets win a WS LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Yeah I like how the Mets battled and clawed but they lost. If that happened to the Jets this year (making the wild card and not scoring) none of us would be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 The Mets took 5 years to smartly and patiently rebuild under a new general manager which has led to a platform for which they can compete for a world championship for 5 years. That is what Jets fans should take away from the Mets. They are in Year 5 Game 163. We are in Year 2 Game 4. Patience, people. Patience.

BurnleyJet Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Baseball, yes building a roster over time, great work. Football you just need a real QB and your set for 10 years plus. Unfortunately we don't have one, and the one we have is playing fooking terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games start in April when it's cold. Then, the championship takes place in October and going into November (when it's cold). Baseball needs to transition to a 100 game season which ends when the NFL starts. Never happen (too much money involved), but it's my opinion. Who really gives a crap about baseball once the NFL kicks off anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yankees farm system is stacked and the Yankees have a front office that isn't cheap. The Mets are in better shape today, but you wasted 2 years of Degrom/Harvey/Matz/Noah with nothing to show for it. These young pitchers won't be around forever (injuries/free agency) and you don't have much youth on the offensive side of the ball. Don't get too cocky over a couple of playoff appearances. In Yankee land, what the Mets "accomplished" the last 2 years would be considered failed seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one way to look at it. The other way to look at is that these Teams had 162 games to win their division and failed and are lucky MLB added a Wild Card spot.

Which says a lot because he has won a World Series as a manager. And he has another one as a player. Why did nobody hire Terry Collins for such a long time? Asking for a friend.
