It really seemed to me like the Giants should have stood pat with their second round pick and taken the highest OL on their board instead of drafting Dart. The Dolphins drafted a Guard shortly after our pick who is looking really good so far.

They better be right about the QB.

The tough thing about the NFL being so QB centric is that if they draft a good OL and then win say 9 or 10 games they’re just stuck next year with no QB and they’re drafing too low to have a chance at one of the better prospects

Pantone 16‑1133 TPG, not Pantone 123 C.

Pantone 123 C is what makes Van Gogh’s Sunflowers timeless; it’s what Vermeer used to accent his Woman with a Pearl Necklace; it’s Gabriel’s halo.

Pantone 16‑1133 TPG is the color of Tracy Morgan’s vomit on the MSG hardwood.

You know you get us!

My concern is the O line.

Like most Mets pitchers, McLean needs to throw more strikes. That is the fatal flaw in the staff that Stearns has assembled: he has all of these guys with great stuff who get groundballs and strikeouts, but everybody walks too many hitters, which drives up pitch counts and means the starters have to get pulled after five innings, which wears out the bullpen. This formula was working like gangbusters early on, but has not panned out as the season has progressed.

They have another guy in AAA who has been absurdly dominant in the minors in Jonah Tong, who has a 65 grade fastball with elite induced vertical break, which means the pitch appears to rise. His stuff looks similar to Tim Lincecum. He gets a very high whiff rate on that fastball. But again— he walks too many hitters.

This is going to be the challenge of Hefner, Stearns and Mendoza next year. They have to get these guys to throw strikes. McLean and Tong are pretty much MLB ready, and Christian Scott will be returning next year too. It could be an exciting rotation next year, but they are really going to need to stop walking everybody. The Mets are 28th in MLB in walks per nine innings. It just doesn’t work.

they don’t appear to be terrible…surprisingly competent looking…

haven’t checked their schedule or anything, but wouldn’t be shocked to see them get to around 8 wins or so, even playing in such a tough division…

we’ll see…
