GDT 6-5 CHARLIE !

[USMA76]

Well, at least we picked up two games over the four day series. Nails performance by the Mets rookie pitcher after Showalter had already burned Diaz and Lugo.

Mets got another tough series now

Step 1: Get .500
Step 2: Get WC spot...working on it now
Step 3: Catch Mets

Step 2 is important. It’s going to drive what type of trade we make. Step 3 is great but ultimately not as important.

The competition for the last wild card spot isn’t tough.

We have a nice 4 year division streak going though... let's make it 5 straight. Dodger's lost their streak last year.

And the dodgers avenged it in the playoffs. If we lose division, I want us to send the Mets home

 

[CyYoung31]

Unlike last year, the Braves are actually a good team this year, even if they have been a little unlucky.

The Braves were a good team last year, just incredibly unlucky in the first half.

We had a really good run differential but bad luck.

Not sure 3 is as important as 2. Just get in the WC, and take your chances in a best of 3.

Not as important but definitely a goal. No need to treat every game as a must win in Sept though if the wild card is all but secured. Going balls to the wall to catch the giants last year hurt the dodgers.

Swanson just keeps playing well. Could very well be #1 in fWAR among SS with another strong week

The troll was too subtle. Mission failed successfully.

Extension?

Extension?

Depends if you think the difference with him and a guy like Xander, Trea if he hits FA, and Correa assuming he opts out is a major gap. Plus the kinda money Dansby would want as well.

I agree winning the division is a goal, but i'd focus on locking up a WC spot first. Try to cut the Mets lead to 5-5.5 by the end of the month. Still have alot of games left with them, so that'll obviously be the biggest tell sign if we can catch them or not. They are due a cold spell though like all teams go through over 162.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Mets will miss Musgrove in San Diego. That’s too bad considering we drew Musgrove in both series.

 

[Hudson2]

What do you think Dansby will command? I’ll take Turner over him all day but the Dodgers will bid big for him I’m sure. They could also use a 2b so I could see them going after Dansby and Trea.

Extension?

If he wants to go Albies-style on it.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Awesome to win 5 games in a row for the first time this season. Anyone know what our longest winning streak is this year?
