The Mets Police

You sure about this  Billy Eppler, Mets?  Because even YOU realized Matt Harvey was done.  I know he’s your 17th choice and all but…

From 2018…

The Angels officially added much-needed rotation depth on Friday, as they agreed to terms with former Mets ace Matt Harvey on a one-year deal worth $11 million with a chance to earn another $3 million in incentives.

…

General manager Billy Eppler said the Angels had been scouting Harvey since last year and his stuff continued to get better after his early-season trade from the Mets to the Reds.

…

“There was a trend of an uptick in grades on the fastball on both the velocity and the movement characteristics,” Eppler said. “We were also seeing an uptick with the slider and changeup as well. Then we merged that with some of our quantitative information to really dive into those pitch characteristics and they were starting to look like his pitch characteristics in 2015, when he came back from Tommy John.”  (Via MLB.com)

 

General Manager Billy Eppler released Matt Harvey in JULY after 12 starts and a 7.09 ERA

Anyway, when does Brad Ausmus start as Mets manager, as predicted by Mets Police on October 20th?

Scott Boras called him the King of Queens but apparently he’s at best the 19th best OF in the league.

LOLMets.  Come on.  I see some people defending this. Not me.  I come to mock. Baseball is so broken.

Hey cool we might have the 11th best shortstop for another decade AND he doesn’t like Mets fans!  Great!

Look, if the Mets are just hiring their 15th choice to run the organization anyway, why not spare a life.  Let’s get a Thanksgiving Turkey pardoned and let him manage the Mets.

Two seconds of internet research tells me that turkeys are INTELLIGENT AND UNPREDICATBLE.  What else would you want from a Mets manager?   Plus, every year I do a Mets Turkeys article for Thanksgiving week, and the new manager would be a slam dunk.

Gelbs can ask the Turkey “how did it feel when you lost the game?”

The Turkey will say “Gobble gobble” which is a fine answer because Gelbs wasn’t going to ask a good follow-up anyway.

Also think of all the great Turkey jokes the hilarious back page writers at the tabloids can come up with.

What’s the worst that happens, the Mets miss the playoffs?  Been there, done that.

Unfortunately, the Mets will pick some boring third coach and reject my progressive idea.

Will a Thanksgiving Turkey manage the Mets? No.
