Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 4695398, member: 210"] The daggers are out for the team with the highest payroll in baseball... This is two years in a row that the Eppler, "optional arms", bullpen strategy has resulted in a tire fire of a bullpen other than the closer. Yes losing Diaz really hurts... but this team struggled to get to Diaz last year. I guess having a Robertson bridge to Diaz would have made this look better. I also no longer believe that Alonso, McNeil, Nimmo, Lindor are the core of a WS winning lineup. They have generally demonstrated that they are extremely streaky and when the pressure is on their fundamentals go completely out the window. The Mets have some sort of endemic hitting problem... hitters don't perform to their levels with the Mets and get better after they leave the Mets. [/QUOTE]
