The Reds have really helped the Mets by sweeping a 4 game set from Miami and taking 2/3 vs. Cards Maybe they can help us more by laying eggs over the next few days Mets have had a lot to thank Cinci for the past few years. Had they not been asking too much for Bruce last year, we wouldn't be rooting for Cespedes every night. And we won the division there last year too. Hoping that being back there the next three days can serve to help keep settling Bruce down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing the kids crank up the energy level all around. Dog days of summer are tough on vets.... having the young guys up really can add a spark! Don't want them messing with Flores right now.... looks to be getting in a groove. Keep the at-bats coming for him Maybe Cecchini can give Cabrera a rest for his thigh, but his throwing accuracy scares me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems into the WC race and his new team but it will be something to watch come decision time on whether the Mets pick up his option or not.

Keith Hernandez. So I'm not saying that's what's gonna happen but it probably is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone counted them out and I feel like nobody still expects anything out of them, and honestly that has been when this lineup flourishes the most the past couple years. Let's go get this Wild Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Yoenis Cespedes is out of the Mets' starting lineup on Monday against the Reds. Cespedes has been nursing a quad issue for the last couple of weeks, so he'll take a day of rest Monday versus the visiting Reds. Asdrubal Cabrera is also sitting.

When Thor and Matz got diagnosed with the spurs, they were both panicking and it was Tolo who went to them and explained how it wasn't a big deal and that they could pitch with it, calmed both of them down. Really hope they bring him back again. He said he wants to pitch next year and he wants to stay with the Mets. Given the uncertainty with Wheeler and Harvey I think it's a no-brainer.

32EBoozer Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 So Robles comes in throwing 98/99 MPH and players are fouling him off several times an at-bat If Wharthon could teach him how to get some late movement on that heat (like Mariano Rivera) this kid would be a Familia clone. Young man has a Major League arm.... if only someone could teach him to pitch. 5-0 Mets top 8th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a legit MLB bat but on the cheaper side. But the last time Sandy signed a FA outfielder it was Chris Young who got $7 mil for one year after a bad season in Oakland. It didn't work out. And they cut him in August. As it turns out that was even a worse decision than signing him. He came alive for the Yankees and even though we were paying him played pretty well that last 2 months of the season. Not a great front office move. Sandy signed Cespedes as a FA.

GimmeShelter Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Looks like Cards will win but at least the Pirates and Marlins seem to be falling off the WC pace/picture. I will be pissed if we end up missing out due to those back to back blown saves against the Cards last month. I know every team goes through that but man those 2 W's would go a long way right now. Regardless, this has been a second enjoyable summer in a row to be a fan of this team. Last year they overcame running out a AAA line-up for the first half of the season to go on to be the best offense in the NL down the stretch, win the division, get past Kershaw and Greinke, before sweeping the overhyped Cubs and playing in the WS. This year they have somehow managed to hang around despite major injuries to key players and are in the midst of a nice run. It should be an interesting September and I hope we have Matz and deGrom at some point. The schedule is soft but I'm not sure that we can get through it w/out our Aces.

JohnJ Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Montero manana... Gotta say I was happy with his last outing. He looked like a different guy than the guy with the bad body language and lack of confidence we saw last year. Granted he may not have been healthy. What a boon to the club if we can get this kid, and fine prospect, on track after all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 If the Mets can just maintain their current position into early next week, they will probably win this thing. The Cards not only have 3 against the Cubs, but more importantly a 4-game series against the Giants, so the math dictates they'll catch up to someone if they just keep at it. They should take at least one more in Cinci, so everything really all depends on the 2 Atlanta series, IMO. Washington seems to be in cruise control at this point, so I don't think Dusty is going to be too worried about the next Nats series. But the Braves have been playing great ball and you have to believe they'd love to play spoiler. You've got a young, motivated team that looks to be dead set on building momentum for next year. Yup, it's those 6 games. Take 4 of those 6 and everything else should take care of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what LA has locked up either, that rivalry is too intense for any of those games to be easy. Out of the 3 teams fighting for this we have the easiest schedule by a country mile.

nycdan Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Looking back, I think the turnaround moment was (and I can't believe I'm saying this) getting Reyes. He has been a total stud and not at all a distraction since coming back to the Mets at a time when they sorely need a boost. After an incredibly bad run of injuries, things seem to have stabilized and even turned around. All they need to do from here is beat the teams they are supposed to and stay healthy and they should get this done. I recall seeing them at the low points with <3% chance of making the wildcard on some standings. Nice turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
