Obviously Scherzer going on the 15 day IL is going to hurt and Braves are playing lights-out baseball (and are the defending champs). OTOH, we're still 34 games over .500 (only the Astros and Dodgers have a better record) and we have an easy schedule. It doesn't look great right now but you never know the ups-and-downs in a baseball season. The Braves are probably due to cool off at some point. And the Mets might play better now that their backs are against the wall. Even if it comes down to the final 3 in Atlanta (which would be a lot of fun), Scherzer could be back by then and potentially Jake might pitch in that series too. They're steady getting blowout by the worst teams in baseball. Nobody can hit, nobody has power, if deGrom or Max isnt on the mound, they're basically ****ed. Meanwhile, the Braves look like the best team in baseball again and are getting hot at the right time, doing what great teams are supposed to do, mash on sh*tty teams. It's not even about the division anymore quite frankly which I highly doubt will come down to that final series as I think the Braves will be well ahead by that time. It's about the constant tanking down the stretch with this franchise. I dont even understand how it continues to happen. They'll go limping into the post-season and get ******* smoked, they cant hit and they have no power. It's a bad recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams that have their backs against the wall can suddenly find a way. Odds are that the Mets are going to get some wins against these crappy teams. Maybe this is just a bad stretch. We're still a team that's 34 games over .500 (even though Scherzer, who is a big part, is out now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all too familiar and there is nothing that I see that makes me believe this ending will be any different than any other team. The Braves are better than they were last year, they're not slowing down, they're just heating up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 DeGrom is just a machine. He’s really taken the way he uses his curve and changeup up a whole other level this year. Have to wonder if that’s why he’s been progressing so efficiently since coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sense responding to Neck Demon since he appears to be enjoying the Mets cold streak. On a positive note, Guillorme went 2-3 last night, so I expect him back in the next week. McGill also had another spotless outing. Vientos would be a nice call up to replace our struggling DH Ruff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t Vientos recently on the DL? Postseason Roster Rules & Eligibility Definition In a typical season, any player who is on the 40-man roster or 60-day injured list as of 11:59 p.m. ET on Aug. 31 is eligible for the postseason. Those on the restricted list at that point are also eligible if they haven't been suspended for performance-enhancing drugs during that season. (All players who have served a suspension for PEDs in a given season are ineligible for postseason play that year.) A player who doesn't meet said criteria for postseason eligibility can still be added to a team's roster in the postseason via petition to the Commissioner's Office if the player was in the organization on Aug. 31 and is replacing someone who is on the injured list and has served the minimum amount of time required for activation. (For example, a player on the 10-day injured list who has been on it for at least 10 days, or a player who has been on the 60-day injured list for at least 60 days.) Players who are acquired in September or after are ineligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Stretch drive time. Good to see the bats wake up. Reinforcements with Guillorme and May due back tomorrow. Megill should be shortly. Scherzer should be when he is eligible, and hopefully Marte too. You know those Braves, which scare the Dickens out of me because I am conditioned that way? They are 28-32 vs teams with a greater than .500 record. Mets are 39-30. Heard there was a football game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
