I didn't want to jinx them. It seems like every other day we leap frog someone in the standings. A few weeks ago I though that getting back to .500 by the end of the season would be a stretch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a feeling if familia held it down in the second game we could come back. JD needs to be in the lineup full-time imo. Agree about JD,especially since Mac is back at 2nd. On a negative note...Lagares needs to spend more time in the cage...it looks like he lost confidence in himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary just mentioned that Mickey says that starting Friday it's 'full bore' with regard to time off for the starters. Barring a melt down we'll go into the weekend series against the Nats above .500 and throwing Stroman, Thor and DeGrom at them. After that we continue to face contenders for the foreseeable future. We'll have to wait and see how the bullpen holds up, but as Alonso would say LFGM! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gug..early on it was a numbers game..he was low on the depth chart..you couldn't let Nimms ride the pine..Smith was ready for full time play as well. He's a prime example of why you need a deep bench...162 games is a long haul. Playoffs start tomorrow night..enjoy...we got hot at the right time and no true baseball fan would have believed that we would go out and get a "Stroman". P.S.-once we get Nimms and Dom back..I think Lagares is going to have to clear waivers to get to Syracuse...I think he's finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Murica Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) I was at the game last night. It was an electric factory. My voice is sore and my hands hurt from all the high fives. It was funny because a lot of my section left after the pass ball by Ramos in the top of the 9th. The guys in front of us and myself told them they would miss an epic comeback. Once Frazier made contact we knew it was fair and gone, I was right there above the foul pole in left field. After that everyone knew the game was going to end in the bottom of the 9th. After Ed Kranepool's speech before the game honoring the '69 Mets it been crazy and I love every moment of this.

Another Fan Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 It’s certainly not how I thought this year would go down. It you asked me at the beginning of the year though where I thought the team would be at that point I’d probably say where they are.

Pulling a dominant starter after six ***** innings -- the idiocy of modern managing on full display. Silver lining when they miss the playoffs is they might just fire this moron.

Another Fan Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 I think last night is an example of how even after the Nationals series at home... most of us weren't going to fully embrace this team.

In the sense that they could still be dangerous this year True and false for me. I haven't fully embraced the team because I think the bullpen will be their downfall. The win the night before was indicative of what scares me (bullpen barely holding a 7 run lead) moreso than last nights loss (no hitting). What's encouraging is having a legit starter every day of the week. Win the next two and we can forget last night. LFGM!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
