Yeah but Machado watches his HRs and sometimes doesn't run hard. They dodged a bullet

Yeah I have absolutely no idea what they are doing, and I'm pretty sure they don't, either.

This is not aging well.
 
Maybe everyone waits to see how the season finishes up. I don’t think you. Can argue either way that the Cano and Lowrie deals were bad moves.

The Rockies made the post season despite abysmal moves by their gm the last few years.
 
13 wins in 14 games thanks to the Whaler11 Curse. Day off tomorrow before the Nats come in for the weekend and the Deepster will be there Saturday night.

Last time I saw them play the Nats, it was the day after they traded for Cespedes and they hit 3 HR's off 5 pitches. There's an SNY special about it called "Five Days in Flushing" and I am on screen at one point. Good Mojo all around.

I am hoping to see them play the Nats in DC on Labor Day; and I am hoping that they will still be alive in the playoff hunt then. Never been to a ball game there before.
 
Omfg! As a DIE HARD this is crazy. Only explanation - and this is crazy and I’ll be first to admit. My father passed on 7/17, at his funeral on 7/23 the pastor (a huge Mets fan like my dad) said at the end of the funeral “maybe as a fellow Mets fan he can take a few minutes up in heaven and call in a favor for our beloved Mets”. Since then...

Get it done, @Deepster . I'm counting on you. What a great night ahead. Will probably be the biggest crowd of the season.

You still vegetarian, or are you mixing in some meat? I trust you know about the Fuku chicken sandwich, the Taqueria and Mama's of Corona? If you haven't been to Mikkeller, it's a great pre or post game stop with a ridiculously good tap list that includes lots of their own excellent beers and also a really well-curated list of guest taps from some of the top brewers in the country; and they also pour some great craft ciders. They also sell beer to go and have a pretty decent food menu, but if fills up quickly post-game so I'd get there in the ninth and watch the end of the game from there if you want to check it out. Wish it was connected to the ballpark so you could go in and out.

Have a great night. I'm jealous.
 
I'm going to Citi on September 7th, they face Philly. When we got the tickets a few weeks ago I didn't imagine it might be a meaningful game.

This is amazing. LFGM

Right before Guillorme stepped into the batters box, i thought to myself, "what if he hits his first major league dinger to tie it up," and it happened!

LFGM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Damn. Bad start today. I had a feeling the magic would end here, because the win is expected.

Amen brother. Been with them since before this.... this banner comes out playoff time.
 
Third year in a row they have lost on UConn day at Citifield
 
Familia seems to have righted the ship. I do not trust him, however, and this was by far the worse move by BVW.

LOL. I have flip flopped the vegetarian for the Keto life, actually. To be honest, we got in a little late and the place was more packed than I've ever seen it. The CF concourse was a zoo the entire night. The food and drink was a little more routine than I would have liked.

All that said, the place really was electric.

I take it you missed the Hawaiian shirts then, too?

I was NOT happy about that one. They looked great. The guy in front of me sold his for 60.00 to someone a row over.

It’s the cano trade and it’s not even close.
 
I read a good insight on the Mets surge a week or so ago. Commentator pointed out that the Mets are where they were expected to be, i.e., in the hunt in the mediocre and up-for-grabs National League East, but not for the reasons BVW intended. Alonso, McNeil and Davis are powering the offense, but they were not expected to be ready to be everyday players yet, and that's why they went out and got Cano and Lowrie, the former of whom has been injured more often than not, and the latter of whom hasn't played a single game. And Diaz was supposed to anchor the closer spot with Familia and Lugo backing him up. But Diaz has been a disaster and they've had to rely on Lugo more than anyone else.

The starting pitching is the only thing that was expected, and that finally came back to form since the All-Star break, but now the cracks are starting to show--especially the defense they are surrendering by playing Alonso, McNeil and Davis everyday. Alonso's error caused them to drop the last game of the Nats series, and the hits that dropped in front of Davis led to last night's loss. They have to play him further back to protect against long balls, but that means he doesn't have the speed to get to more shallow balls, which it seemed like Atlanta was targeting last night.

I haven't heard anything about McNeil's injury today, but if he is out for a while during this stretch our offense is going to take a hit.
 
Why did he take Matz out at 79 pitches? This inning has been a nightmare.
