I'm hoping Dilson but yes I agree. That's why I wanted to throw Mazza in today to save everyone else. Again wasn't a major deal regardless.

Let me throw another name out there - Arismendy Alcantara. Hitting .295 in Syracuse, is a switch hitter and can play anywhere.
Why? I am comparing 2nd year in the majors. Nothing else. In no way- zero zippo nada would I ever even compare them overall or where their careers end up. McNeil falls closer to a potential Brett/Boggs/Gwynn/Puckett type of potential. And that is even saying a lot and doubtful he can do it as there are not many in history that can compare careers with those guys.
So, just lighten up and enjoy it...
NY Post reporting that Mets have interest in Panik if he clears waivers, which I suspect he will.
Saw that. Not saying that he's the next Alomar in his prime, but just about had it with Guillorme and Hech.
Watching 5 days in flushing on sny. Love this documentary. I hope we have the same type of documentary on 2019. Guess we call it LFGM. Lol
On a side note, I have had a partial season ticket package for the Mets since 2015. I am going to Saturday’s game and I haven’t been this psyched for a mets game since the 2016 wild card game for which I was actually nervous and not confident about.
And of course familia tossing up a 3 run homer to a dog - was it Culbertson- in the 9th inning. Ugh. Long car ride home. As was after game 5 of World Series the year before.
Amazing run from 'dead & buried. Would any team wanna face that starting staff in a playoff series? I think not!!!
Syndergaard, Stroman, deGrom after using deGrom in the wildcard? Not too shabby. Wheels on the pine until the NLCS and World Series. :Wink:
It was the beginning of the end after Syndergaard was pulled. WS felt like a sinking feeling from play one with Cespedes loafing around like he was playing a street-ball game instead of Game 1 of a WS. Counting the minutes until he is off the books.
The big key the rest of the way is how we perform on the road. Need to win at a higher percentage than up to this point. The Nats are the only WC contender with a winning record both at home and away. Hope we start to change that this coming weekend also.

Just kind of cool that by the end of the weekend- there could be a chance to be in the top WC spot...Still a lot of baseball to play but to be in this position after how the season started...just a fun time in NYC baseball.
FWIW, Rajai Davis is off the IL and played nine innings tonight for Syracuse. So he could be in the mix for promotion too.
Philthies lose!
Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN
Remaining strength of schedule, by winning percentage: Phillies .513, Mets .511, Nationals .500, Braves .490

Assuming the starting staffs are healthy, the two teams in the NL playoffs that others would prefer not face are the Mets and Nats. The 162 game season is the grind it out long haul.The playoffs, a pedal to metal drag race.
Phillies are the only one of the Wild Card 6 to play today/tonight. At San Francisco. Nola vs. Bumgardner.
There we go...we knew Bumgardner was going to be a factor for NY playoff hopes lol
Yes you are correct. Misread that this morning.
Let's take 2 of 3 or sweep the Nats and cut that down a little more!!!
Well earned off day today then a HUGE series vs. the Nats. We get Corbin and Strasburg the first two. Anyone know if Mad Max is available for Sunday?
If we are going to be in the mix, it starts now with at least 2 out of 3 against the Nats. I think we are 11 or 12 games under .500 against winning teams so we have to start beating the better teams in the league.
3 teams built for playoffs- Houston/Nats/Mets . All 3 teams can throw out nasty top 3 starters...
You can add the Dodgers to that list. The combo of Kershaw/Ryu/Bueller can match up with anyone.
