I feel like I'm in the middle or we're in the middle of a total collapse.

I really feel that way.

I really feel like all of a sudden now this late in the season, four losses,

getting drubbed by the Phillies, having their asses kicked.

And, you know, the middle of the order is basically non-existent.

You know, I was talking to Fleggs before and and I was saying, you know, who do you, like,

see as the responsible ones for all of this?

For me, first and foremost, it starts with the horrendous starting pitching that they

had gotten prior to the three young guys coming up.

Yeah.

All right. So that's number one. You know, they started out of season great. The pitching, the starting pitching was good. And it's one of the reasons why they got off to such a good start. In the middle of this season, the starting pitching started to wane. And then the bullpen started to wane. And then, you know, the trade deadline comes. they try to re-fortify the bullpen started to wane and then you know the trade deadline comes

they try to re-fortify the bullpen and then they start bringing up these young kids and these

young kids are given the Mets everything that they could have asked for and more so the starting

pitching still remains the older pitchers like sean mania last night still remain a a bone

of contention for me i mean i would i would shut them down. I mean, it's just you can't, you can't keep watching this over and over and over and over again. They don't need a six-man rotation. And by the way, Kodi Senga, you're a professional baseball player. Let's go. You know, enough of this, you know, cowtowing, coddling, anything that you want to say, enough, it's over with.

We need you to be your best.

And now's the time for you to turn it on.

But talking to fleaks, he still looks at the body of this team, the foundation of this team, which is not Juan Soto and, uh, Francisco Indore.

He takes them out of the mix.

He's looking at Pete Alonzo, Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeill, Starly Marte.

You know, these guys are just not getting it done, and they're not getting it done at the most important time of the season right now.

And you could look at the numbers at the end of the year, and we're all going to say, well, that's a great, that's a great season. But, you know, I think Pia de Lanza should have like 250 RBIs for God's sake. I mean, he's having a decent season. I guess you would say he's having a good season, but, you know, when it really, really does matter. And I remember I was texting with my nephew Randy, a Medfan.
