So how long until Terry Collins/training staff/GM gets the boot?
Apparently Syndergaard refused an MRI last week due to "knowing his body best", pitched 1.1IP yesterday and ended up partially tearing his LAT muscle.. A 10-day DL stint could have prevented this from what I'm reading.. it's definitely not a good look for the entire org, with the crazy injury history they've had recently.. I'm not sure I've ever heard of a player refusing an MRI before.. and even worse I can't believe the team let him proceed to pitch!

Technically, it happens more than you think. Pitchers don't want MRIs because of the wear and tear their arms go through. I have a chicken and egg theory, which if MRIs were done on players on a weekly basis we would find that the MCL, ACL or other ligaments were already damaged before the actual blowout. This would not happen because of players refusing and costs. Players don't want to find injuries; they just want to play and help the team. Of course, that is what got them to this point.
I think rolling with bad fielders (26th) that are not hitting (29th) well would get them fired faster that the Syndergaard situation. Look at the lineup they are putting out there day after day. I understand the Royals are worse but not by much.

I agree that it's inexcusable that the Mets allowed Thor to pitch after skipping an MRI. This isn't little league... Thor is an EXTREMELY valuable asset to the Mets' organization.
Also, I completely agree about the real problem being the Mets' lineup... that lineup is horrendous. Seeing so many people pick the Mets to win the NL East before the year began boggled my mind. Sure, the Mets' rotation is solid IF healthy. Unfortunately, they haven't been able to stay healthy. When you consider how weak their lineup is, it's tough to envision them competing with the Nationals (who are stacked).

Thor came into this year trying to throw harder then last year and actually put on more weight.. That had bad written all over it from the start.. But yeah their lineup is terrible.. Amed Rosario will probably being getting a call soon, IMO. |

I heard that before Cespedes was pulled from the game and placed on the DL with the hamstring injury, that he was seen limping into the batter's box before his last AB. If that's true, are the Mets in a "win at all costs" mentality, no matter which player(s) get hurt? Cespedes is one of their few offensive players - when he is healthy.

The Mets have always been that way. That and their dog shit medical team. I mean look at how they handled Harvey's Tommy John return or Carlos Beltran's knee. Hell how they are handling Harvey know after thoratic outlet syndrome. They had him throw a side session and do a big workout then the next day at 10 am tell him he's starting that night rather than the day or two later when he was supposed to. In a year where he's coming off a major surgery that has a low success rate for sustained MLB success post surgery. Their front office and medical staff are asinine.
