00:00New York Mets and saying they're still struggling but they're saying in New York Mendoza is still
00:05going to be their guy despite a really poor star Craig yeah and it does look like Mendoza will be
00:11the manager they really do like him a lot and I guess internally they look and say hey this is
00:15more of a roster construction or player issue I tend to agree but you know not knowing Donnie and
00:22not covering the team and being in there every day it's really hard for me to say but it does
00:26seem like a lot of people around the league think that the chemistry and just the talent and people
00:32that they have in the clubhouse are not working out injuries have also played a very large factor
00:37to the Mets you had Soto out for a while now you have Lindor out and then I believe it's
00:41been reported
00:42that Ronnie Mauricio broke his hand so he's out too so they have no one to play shortstop there I
00:46just
00:47think it's a confluence of events there's really a way that they can dig out of it and the only
00:52way
00:52they could do that is by winning games but I just look at the roster construction and I look at
00:57the
00:57team and I go back to the beginning of the season I don't blame David Stearns at all for looking
01:03at
01:03the team and saying hey look with this high payroll and with all the players we have Donnie they have
01:08not won anything they did not even get in the postseason last year so like all right let's break
01:12it up and try something new but their new plan has not worked it doesn't look good on paper it
01:18doesn't
01:18look good in the standings even if the Mets were to play okay the rest of the season I think
01:23their season
01:23is a wrap I don't think they're getting in this year
