Clay Holmes is our ace right now. Good comp of Vientos and Alvarez. Why can’t MJ Melendez face a LHP in the 6th inning? Hopefully we call up Ewing to play CF soon. Good win 👍

What you cite is an example of what I call Mendoza's "robotic" managing. The icing on the cake is that I've read that Melendez' stats show he doesn't have a righty/lefty split. I see that yesterday for the first time, I think, since he was promoted that Ewing only got on base once. I share your high hopes but I'd give it some time.

The Mets had decent to good starting pitching, sound relief, and took advantage of a sub-.500 teams' bullpen. A path to a winning series. Scott had a decent start. If that holds, you have to carefully handle McLean (growing pains), and you are left with one problem in the rotation. Okay.

The team has to have the memory of a goldfish (Ted Lasso reference). They have had a winning month. Okay.
