Couple of positives here.. Venters and Gausman

I fully expect Wheeler's fastball to top out at 87 next time he faces the Phillies.
I guess we were due to have a suckfest game after winning five straight. Hopefully, we get this out of our system and get things going tomorrow. If not, we're looking at a split against a team that's 20 games under .500 with our closest rivals on hot streaks.
PS I'm glad this McNeil guy hasn't played against us all year.
Pretty early to declare a game a must win, but I think tomorrow is just that. We play 7 games this week vs playoff contenders Tuesday thru Sunday. The nats are gonna give us everything they have
Did we just waste Fried? LMAO
Speaking of skill development, I would very much like to see Ozzie Albies become just a lttile bit more selective at the plate, especially in the 8th inning with 2 runners on and 2 out. That was a pitcher's pitch there from Gisellman, absolutely no reason to hack that early at that pitch.
A real possibility that we split the series with Teheran pitching tomorrow. Not ideal. The Mets are woefully bad.
Hopefully it doesn’t waste him for his next start
A 26 year old rookie is 4-4 against us. FML
ugh...when are they gonna learn that Fried is not equipped to shift from AAA rotation to big league BP with ease? We are jiving our pitchers with their constant shuttling, and it's by and large hurting their value
So a 5-game winning streak is over, and netted us no ground at all.
Honestly we were well on our way to this happening. We were playing with absolute fire in the first two games, after the 4th in game 1, Mets pitching sat down the last 15 in order, and after Albies hit an RBI double, Mets pitching sat down everyone else in order yesterday. The offense has been pretty bad in this series for the most part.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
