Don't think it was unfair to have Senga try to contribute in the playoffs. It's the playoffs, all hands on deck. It's ok to have question marks on your starting staff going into the season. But with the exception of Manea, all the Mets have are questions marks. If they flop, Stearns's decision not to pursue Burnes, Snell, or Fried won't look so smart.

it was unfair to him because he wasn't prepared for it. He was essentially making rehab starts in playoff games.

Starting pitching. Going into Spring Training, the question is always starting pitching. It's the threshold key to success.

Which means we have a very exciting trip ahead of us. But if everyone can get to 160+ innings and a plus-.500 record with an ERA around 3.50, we're going to be some very happy Metsies. It's not hard to envision a 100-win team, even in the NL East.

I agree about Senga and we’re doing a lot for him like rolling with a 6 man rotation although that might be the wave of the future. We need him to be close to 2023 form.

Lindor should be made Captain, in my mind.

Yup. As good as any player who's ever played for this team.
