Scott Dierking Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I agree. The run he's on is clearly an outlier but certainly not outside of his ability. His pitch selection has been the difference, and that's historically been his weakness. It's not like he wasn't capable of hitting bombs before this. This is definitely an outlier year. But, you have to look and say this is only his 4th full mlb season. But, at 30, can you sign him longer than 5-6 years? That is what the Mets will be deliberating.

Scott Dierking Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The other important race- Besides chasing the Dodgers for best record for NLDS, the Mets are also in a virtual tie with the Cubs for a better record. If the Cubs should walk away with a win over the Cards (or Pirates??) in the NLDS, and the Mets have a better record, they get home field in the NLCS.(assuming of course the Mets advance).

Have to have Tejada in there in what is sure to be a pair of serious pitchers' duels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 So if you're Collins do you consider skipping a start for deGrom since Harvey's in the rotation this go-around? He looked pretty tired out there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to have Tejada in there in what is sure to be a pair of serious pitchers' duels. Will be interesting to see if he has the balls to sit the lefty bats including Duda (unless he starts coming around) against Kershaw. Hopefully he sits at least a few of them based on their numbers against left handers and the depth of his bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so pumped. I don't remember a regular season series between these two teams having this much importance. Mets trying to put the Nats away for good, the Yanks fighting for their lives, this is going to be a fun weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slgrayson1 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 The only good thing about getting our only three remaining games against a half decent opponent until the Gnats in Oct. Is that Hollyweird is playing 3 against the far tougher Buccos. As for tonight, Cuddyer just made a Ron Swoboda like 1969 catch in RF to end the first for Bart Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do we want to put away the Nats but we are also now 1.5 games back of the Dodgers for homefield in the NLDS. As RJF mentioned earlier, forcing Kershaw and Greinke to pitch in Citi Field should be a priority right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mets probably need 12 wins to get ahead of Dodgers and Cubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF is with you. Really? On a non personal note, and keeping it to baseball, this is an excellent read from SI, on Gooden and his magical '85 season. You compare some of the number (innings pitched, complete games) and it seems like a different world compared to today's games. http://www.si.com/longform/2015/1985/doc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeShelter Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Agreed, Miami is a pain in our asses. Let them hammer the Gnats now. Yep. Miami is just one team that always seems to kill us. Fans were going crazy on talk radio yesterday over two losses after an 8 game winning streak. Tonight Tanaka will likely be a tough one to win as well but this Mets team will be fine. I think the young SP's may be hitting a bit of a wall but with some skips here and there hopefully they push through it. Love the depth that Sandy has given this roster.
