YES/NO: It’s time for the Mets to fire Carlos Mendoza.

Nolan McLean on the biggest issues in his past two starts: "Combination of things. Getting behind in counts, not landing my off-speed pitches like I should, and I've been hitting guys with two strikes too which isn't a great recipe for success" Via @SNYtv

Carlos Mendoza on the Mets: “There's so much I could sit here and say that we worry, we've got to go out and do it ourselves. We're not putting ourselves in good positions. It's not early anymore. Whatever I say here doesn't matter, we've got to go out there and do it.” Via @SNYtv

BREAKING Tyrone Taylor is likely to hit the IL, per Mets manager Carlos Mendoza.

FINAL SCORE Reds: 7 Mets: 2

And now Tyrone Taylor is hurt.

Marcus Semien goes deep

Looks like Marcus Semien didn’t run into good pitching!

@Senga2Alvarez It’s ridiculous. Lodolo is a top-25 pitcher in baseball who’s just returning from an injury suffered during spring training.

Online baseball fans know a shockingly low number of players on other teams. In the last two days ive seen Mets fans who i think of as reasonably knowledgeable not know who Pete Fairbanks or Nick Lodolo are

Time to start brainstorming which Mets will be traded at the deadline. A short list currently: - Freddy Peralta - Clay Holmes - Brooks Raley - Jorge Polanco - Huascar Brazoban - David Peterson - AJ Minter - Devin Williams/Luke Weaver potentially

@_NYMLover Has no more options

@SleeperMets Wth was that swing man he needs to be send down asap

Mark Vientos is 3-for-21 over the last six games.

The Mark Vientos experience needs to end. Genuinely.

The Knicks play in three hours at least!!

@lovefrmcaroline Well, he's down to 93

@SleeperMets how much?

Another thing with Nolan McLean, his velocity has noticeably dipped...

@BabaGanoush___ Three consecutive starts where McLean has struggled to put batters away. It’s honestly been a theme all season for him, teams have figured him out.

@SleeperMets Not a serious account 😭 2 bad starts I gotta mute

Is it ridiculous to potentially consider sending McLean back to Triple-A? Something is clearly wrong with his command and confidence. The last two outings have been abysmal.

Nolan McLean over his last three starts: 16 IP, 16 ER, 18 K, 7 BB Brutal.

Not necessary to state this for Nick Lodolo. Outstanding pitcher who hasn’t found a rhythm through four starts. Can’t just look at stats, he was coming off an injury that shut down his preparation time to start the season.

Nolan McLean against the Reds: 3.1 IP 5 H 7 ER 6 K 2 BB 2 HBP McLean has allowed 16 runs over his last three starts, struggling with confidence and command. His season ERA climbs to 4.40.
