Hopefully Cespedes is alright, doesn’t sound good with not contacting anyone in Mets and not answering any calls

Wright flirting with disaster the first 2 innings, he's not gonna last past the 4th inning at this rate


The sooner he is out of the game the better

Wright is fucking terrible. He's not even close to the plate. I think his pitches are somewhere outside of Savannah.

Stupid ass front office sitting around last winter playing with their dicks instead of getting starting pitching

What's more concerning is that those closest to the situation deemed Wright to be a better option than any of the other prospects.

Soroka is really the only top pitching prospect that has panned out. It makes me pretty concerned about Ian Anderson and Tucker Davidson.

Especially now that Luke Jackson probably threw enough pitches last night to not be available today and Chacin is no longer an option.

We need to look at our development of pitchers in the minors. All those top pitching prospects, scouts and other teams drooling over them and only Soroka and Fried have panned out so far.

I'll reserve judgement on Anderson, but Wright should've been ready last year to play a role. He's pitching like he'd get crush at AAA right now.

Just continues to kill our pen since we only have 2 pitchers who can go 6+

It being a short season and with expanded rosters, it's not as big of a deal as a normal year. 10 man bullpen that includes Tomlin, who was a starter for nearly a decade prior to last season.

It's troubling though. Need Will Smith to come back and be his normal self.

Ender catches that. I wish 2017 Enders Bat would come back because his defense is well worth it.

Yeah, I’m THAT guy.

Well, the GM is a likely terrorist.

I hope CESPEDES didn’t OD on drugs or something. I think he is too big to get kidnapped.


Hopefully it is just him acting out

He’s probably just still circling I-285 looking for the park.

Gotta be something. Touki has regressed. In 2018, he looked very promising. Wright has got rocked pretty much every start he's ever made. Kolby Allard went from top prospect to traded for nothing.

Acuna ain't a center fielder. While our pitching prospects generally haven't panned out, our offensive prospects have for the most part. I want to see either Pache or Waters.

I don’t think we are gonna see either or Anderson or Davidson. I don’t think we wanna waste their first year of service time on a 60 game season

If I'm not mistaken, he's starting for Texas today. It'll be interesting what he does.

I mean Folty, Wright, Touki. Teheran. Wilson has looked like crapped.

Pretty much what I see in Kyle Wright is that unless he does some serious improving, being a specialist to get righties out from the bullpen is his future, but with the new 3 batter minimum rule, specialists out of the bullpen have been greatly devalued(and I'm all for that, facing a Gabe Kapler managed team with expanded September rosters was torture with his 20 man bullpens)

In defense of our Allrad pick he was a good prospect who threw 95 until he had a serious back injury and lost velocity and could only throw 89

With Nick coming back, I don't think we'll see Pache or Waters this year. We might've seen them without Nick and if someone went down with an injury.

I would've brought all the kids up that were close and played them year. That's 60 games of MLB experience, in a season that if it gets completely played out many people are already putting an * on the WS winner
