Terry Collins Made the Right Call on Matt Harvey

I know personally that I was begging for Harvey to come out and start the 9th. With Harvey being your ace and the way he was pitching, to me it was a no-brainer. That being said, I wish that Harvey had taken his chances and just thrown three straight fastballs down the middle to Cain than walk him. Leadoff walks are killers, especially with a resilient team like the Royals. But hey, the 2015 Mets gave us a great run that most did not expect and there's plenty of blame to go around for why they loss the World Series, tho ultimately the Royals may've just been the better team. Still, as long as Harvey, DeGrom, Syndergaard. Matz and co. stay healthy....we'll be back.

Terry Collins Using Jeurys Familia In Game 3 Cost the Mets Game 4

I wish that I had blogged about it then so I don't like I'm second-guessing, but the proof is there as I did tweet about this incredulous move when it happened: it made absolutely ZERO sense for Terry Collins to use his closer Jeurys Familia in Game 3, up 6 freaking runs in the 9th inning. Using Familia, just so he could get back out there after blowing Game 1 was just bad managing. Going with Hansel Robles to finish Game 3 would've made far more sense. Yes, Daniel Murphy's error was a huge blow to us losing Game 4 as was Tyler Clippard's two walks in the 8th. But IMO Collins deserves the most blame because if he had Familia on proper rest, the Mets closer/best relief pitcher starts the 8th and goes two innings instead of the 'formula' of Reed/Clippard/Familia.
