When was the meeting THIS MORNING ?

Forgot to tell him to " get nice and sharp and pitch well for us " IN APRIL. So Lou fans please EXPLAIN this INSANITY. Does Howry really have something on Lou or is he just blinded by stats from LAST year. How do you keep a guy who has pitched bad ALL YEAR on your post season roster. I know because he is a “vet” and Lou " trusts" him. This is the kind of thing that TERRIFIES me re post season but if it terrifies our starters enough they will all go 7 plus and keep Lou from making a SINGLE bullpen decision as he will just go on automatic to Marmol and Wood in the 8th and 9th.

What I'd like

In my selfish little world. We win and the Mets lose tonight. Mets win tomorrow, Sheets isn’t 100% and we win again. Brewers are desperate, use CC for 130 pitches or so to get the complete game on Sunday, but they win. Mets collapse again to tie the WC again forcing the tie breaker. Mets win that in an epic extra innings game. Then they can come here for their beat down.
But that’s just me
