For people who are totally puzzled by the lineup
construction put forth by one Terry Collins, today’s gem will have you
scratching your head until you draw blood.
After yesterday’s debacle, have a gander at what they’re putting on the
field today:
Reyes SS
Nimmo RF
Cabrera 2BNimmo RF
Flores 3B
Plawecki C
Smith 1B
Lagares CF
Reynolds LF
Montero RHP
Now, it’s bad enough that he plays Asdrubal
Cabrera at all while Gavin Cecchini remains Krazy-Glued to the bench, but what
has he not yet seen of Jose Reyes to offer him the SS and leadoff slot ahead of
Amed Rosario?
If there is anyone in the Mets organization
with a few functioning brain cells, may tomorrow be the last starting
assignment Cabrera gets for the remainder of the year! After all, the 31st is the deadline
by which contenders are still eligible to have newly acquired players available
in the post season. Ditto Jose Reyes…let’s
see what Cecchini and even Matt Reynolds can do with an extended look.
Of course, that if statement is just that…a
veritable needle in the haystack finding someone smart enough to realize that
the season is long over and it’s time to evaluate for the future.

Could this be a half assed attempt to play less of the future chips so they aren't injured during this weird season?
I'm more of the opinion it's a full ass with the lineup pencil in his hand.
Collins didn't make that decision. Alderson did. Reyes will be back next year and they want to see what else he can do. Has been playing much better anyway. A game off for Rosario isn't changing his future and if it does he isn't that good. Non story....
I am so completely p-off, I can no longer contain myself. Is it possible to relieve TC of his duties for the rest of the year.
I agree with anonymous. GM making these calls, wants to make decision on Reyes for 2018. Barring sickness or injury, it is nuts that Rosario isn't playing with 2 off days this week. Agreed Cabrera watches in Sept if not dealt.
Hey, Pete Alonso homered twice for Binghamton tonight. Mets' next 1B? I know, Smith and his .172 is there already. But Pete can crush it.
Reyes is playing much better lately? I'll leave the defense off the table, but the last time I looked he's hitting .232 at the end of August. Is Gavin Cecchini really going to be any worse? Matt Reynolds?
I dont mind seeing reyes get a start in the of and the occasional day off for rosario. Im generally surprised that cabrera doesnt play 3rd base. At this point i think the lineup should be
nimmo
rosario
Smith
Flores/cabrera
Catcher
Lagares
2nd/3rd base base or non flores/carbera
lf
pitcher
get the kids up at the front. sink or swim, but roll
This is just a play for a better draft pick how else could you figure it?
