Hiring Wright as manager? That would be amazing. I'd be all for that.

The problem with this season is that besides the injuries, our pitching has been [B]HISTORICALLY bad[/B].  Saw this stat thrown out on a Mets message board that I frequent.

Mets Pitchers with over 50 IP and a 5.00 or higher ERA, in one season.
Mets franchise 1962-2016: 48
2017 Mets: 8

(Stats current as of 9/18)
6.59 Harvey 
6.08 Matz 
5.54 Smoker (5.2 scoreless IP would drop him below 5.00)
5.22 Gsellman (5.0 scoreless IP would drop him below 5.00)
5.21 Wheeler
5.21 Lugo (3.2 scoreless IP would drop him below 5.00)
5.11 Robles (1.1 scoreless IP would drop him below 5.00)
5.08 Montero (1.2 scoreless IP would drop him below 5.00)

[B]So basically, we've had almost 15% of the amount of historically bad pitching single season performances from our entire franchise's history, in ONE season.[/B] And if Millone and Flexen had enough IP to reach 50, they'd be on this list too.

That stat to me was absolutely mind-blowing when I saw it.
