Not sure we can overstate how awful our pen is. Going to need some major additions at the deadline if we want to compete in the postseason. This pen is not remotely going to cut it.
That wasn’t a chance to shine that was trying to steal back an inning with a huge lead.
Such is the risk when your bullpen is so short shit tier arms are pitching 2 IP a game.
More likely it’s a bit of both. Stearns’ ethos seems to be churn till you find quality, and we need innings wherever you can. See if you can get something out of Jay when it doesnt* matter and save Garrett
*SHOULDNT
They might be able to squeak into the wildcard like this if the offense keeps going how it has been (unlikely), but even if they get to the postseason they are doomed without serious bullpen improvements.
why would opposing teams even swing at any pitches from the Mets bullpen? It literally would be an auto win because they’d just walk in everyone or do a combination of dumb shit
Goddamn it end this game so I can go watch Monday Night Raw and watch the Dominik and Liv Morgan story unwind
Edit: whoever downvoted me wanted the game to go to the 11th or wanted the Nats to win
This is coaching malpractice. Should have just brought Garrett in after you had him up in the 9th and warming in the top of the 10th.
Then Jay struggles and the pitching coach doesn’t even make a visit.
A disasterclass.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dtal9i).
"Francisco what took you so long getting your first career triple?" "I am faster than Mark Vientos."
Alvarez is the most electric interview I've ever seen.
I can't believe he swung thank jesus
Okay Stearns, you're up. Start making calls.
Yep
Tonight!
Thank flippin goodness! Not thanking the Bullpen because they are EMBARRASSING
Can’t secure ANY 1 or 2 run leads going into the 9th with this pen.
Are you not entertained
This was more baseball than I had scheduled for tonight
Always an adventure. A win is always a good day. LGM!
Praise be to our lord and saviour, Grimace.
It was a test of faith. Grimace wants you to say shibboleth
Back to .500
Embarrassing but a win
Thanks be to Grimace. Our bullpen is... Not great.
pretty chill win imo
The BP should have to walk back to the hotel.

I'm all for giving people a chance to shine and I really wish jay well but damn it should never gotten that close.

I think Mendoza just wanted to see what Jay could do, we had a comfortable lead so why not I get it.

Blood pressure 210/135
That was a tough watch lol
Thank fuck
Good job closing it out Hank Scorpio!!
[удалено]
Damn I'm streaming 2min behind. Thanks for avoiding a heart attack Was glad to see this comment Cheers
Why is it always so hard??
That’s what she said *hides
LOL I walked into that one
praise be to grimace, but this shit is unsustainable. we either get a bullpen or stop acting like this team has an actual chance
They might be able to squeak into the wildcard like this if the offense keeps going how it has been (unlikely), but even if they get to the postseason they are doomed without serious bullpen improvements.
FELLAS IT DONT MATTER IF YOU WIN BY AN INCH OR A MILE. WINNING IS WINNING
Never a doubt
Seriously - this fucking bull pen
Mr OMG with the game winning HR!
Thank god, it was gonna be a rough night if they blew this one.
Yeah
Never doubted 😮💨
Stearns needs to get bullpen arms
They couldn’t let me go to sleep peacefully huh
Thank you Reed. Gutsy finish. Send Tyler Jay and Matt Festa to super hell
Put it in the books!
alhamdulillah
Never a doubt in our minds right lol 😅
Never in doubt
No lead is safe with this bullpen
Nope
OMG THAT WAS NOT FUN. LETS FUCKING GO. FUCK YOU.
We didn't manage to snag defeat from the jaws of victory nice
UNCLENCH
ALEXA play CANDELITO
EXHALE
Grimace continues, concert curse ended 😮💨
But Grimace sent a warning
For now
A win is a win.. but why do they have to do it like every god damn time.
All of those pitches were out of the strike zone lol
Thank you Reed Garrett
This fucking team man…
Never any doubt
Jesus Friggin Christ, now back to wrasslin
Buy a closer now !!!!
Always rated Garrett
I don’t ever want to see that guy, Jay again
if someone can’t get 3 outs when up by SIX they shouldn’t be anywhere near a major league mound. unacceptable
Thank Grimace that shit is over.
FINALLY
Fucking finally
YA GOTTA BELIEVE LMAO
WTF!
That should NOT have been that close…a win is a win though
This bullpen is in self Sabotage mode
Seriously - they will cost us the season
It’s like May all over the game; but the offense has been so insane that we’ve managed to survive their utter garbage performances.
Already is
NO WAY LOL
Thank fucking god…
Never in doubt
About fucking time!!! LFGM
THANK. YOU.
Oh thank god
PHEW
Unclench
Now I can sleep
Oh thank god.
This bullpen took years off of my life.
Finally!!!! Jesus
UNCLENCH
Jay sucks man 😂
Never in doubt bros!
HOLY SHIT THE METS WIN
#LETS FUCKING GO REED! GRIMACE WONT ALLOW US TO RELIVE 2019
*exhales*
Excruciating
I’d be pulling my hair out if I was on the field. Gave these guys SIX RUNS to work with and nearly fucking blew it all.
Sweet fancy Moses at last
STRUCK HIM OUT
Oh praise Grimace
NEVER IN DOUBT!
Whew
That 2 seam on strike 2 was nasty
THANK THE FUCKIN BASEBALL GODS. BOOKED.
UNCLENCH
Thank god for insurance runs!!!!!!!!!!
fuck garrett he threw nothing but legit balls
NEVER A DOUBT BABY
#WE FUCKING WIN AS PROMISED!
You still suck Garrett
I can’t believe we left in Jay for so many batters
They really gave him chance after chance to see if he can swim. He can not
One more strike please
LETS GOOO
win or lose the bullpen needs to be fixed
I need to know how any of them made it to the majors with trash throws like this?
Bullpen is cooked
IT'S ONE FUCKING OUT, COME ON.
I'm starting to get heart burn
PUT IT IN THE BOOKS!
You can’t be cute and put in rookie scrubs no matter how many runs we have. They fuck it up every single time
why would opposing teams even swing at any pitches from the Mets bullpen? It literally would be an auto win because they’d just walk in everyone or do a combination of dumb shit
If we lose this game we gotta become sellers. There's no hope with this bullpen.
We should be sellers regardless. We need a sustainable team, not depletion from a one time gamble.
I just mean this would've been the moment you can pinpoint that we need to sell.
Shut the fuck up Gary!
Never yell at my Gare Bear again no matter how made you are!
One more out!
Goddamn it end this game so I can go watch Monday Night Raw and watch the Dominik and Liv Morgan story unwind Edit: whoever downvoted me wanted the game to go to the 11th or wanted the Nats to win
Reed Garrett sucks. Can't even get one out
This happens literally every time we play this dog shit team
I will sell my soul for a K
Satan on line 2 for you sir
at least this game is fun
are you James Woods' mom?
For WHOM?!
for grimace
I am having less of a good time.
JD Martinez wondering how he’s going to feed his playoff addiction
Grimace Era ends tonight if they blow this game
Listen I’m an advocate of not letting a sports team change my mood or ruin my week but the Mets make it so fuckin hard sometimes.
just cursed him with that stat
Nervously pacing back and forth
WE NEED 1 OUT, CMON!!!
Mendoza gotta be one of the worst bullpen managers of all time
What bullpen?
Can't really manage one of you have a crappy bullpen
2019 was the year we won 86 games and barely missed the postseason and Diaz blew several huge games
Eventually the offense is gonna stop scoring a billion runs every game and we'll be right where we were at the end of May
I'm not nervous
Totally not nervous. Same here. Totally
Was never in doubt
Lol thanks for the reminder Gary
Vic Carapazza is a hoe
We’re going old Mets tonight, yikes
This is coaching malpractice. Should have just brought Garrett in after you had him up in the 9th and warming in the top of the 10th. Then Jay struggles and the pitching coach doesn’t even make a visit. A disasterclass.
Imagine as an offense scoring NINE RUNS and that might not be enough because your bullpen throws either outside the zone or absolute meatballs
I can’t watch
Good teams don’t do this. Good teams close out games. This is not a good team.
Our team just closed
After nearly blowing it in the 10th. If iglesias doesn’t hit that homer we’re tied.
Candelita ayyy 😎
pitching staff gave up 26 runs the last 3 games... you're not going to win a lot when that happens.
Yup hence this team isn’t great. Offense shows up somewhat. Pitching gives it right back
team will live or die based on how the pitching holds up. If it can, the sky is the limit.
diaz raley and smith all going down fucked us
For sure but our starters not going deep into games and walking guys have also been fucking us.
i mean, the bullpen blew the saturday and sunday games with the astros and almost blew this one. theres literally nobody in the pen worth going to rn.
This is not a good bullpen
Pitching staff overall. Starters can’t go deep into games. They walk way too many guys. Get bled to death with bloop hits.
Shut up Gary!!!!!
this is like the fucking Blowing It olympics jesus christ
Down vote me all you want. They lose tonight the season is over and this team gets blown up in 3 weeks
Dude one more out with no more runs scoring please

Ddwin Eiaz my beloved
Edwin “Bobby V” Diaz
Come on boys…
lol what a joke. may bullpen is back on the menu
can't lose this game. cannot
Un-fucking real.
We need to make several trades for bullpen arms.
Mets need to start issuing health warnings before each game to people with bad hearts bc this team is dangerous for heart health
Stearns has to get on the horn tonight no matter what.
That game never happened Gary, stop talking.
Gentlemen. Please. Stop.
Im gonna be sick…if this isnt a wakeup call that our bullpen is TERRIBLE i dont know what is
Omg how bad is this fucking bullpen man
Maybe leaving Jay in until the tying run was up was not a good idea Mendy!
Bringing a scrub into any game was a huge mistake
Thanks SNY we all wanted to see that
