It's not a throw away season as Cohen & Stearns will work to make this team a postseason team.

I could see McNeil in sort of a platoon with Marte in RF.You don't take Iglesias out of the lineup.
He can talk with the TV remote in one hand and a beer in the other while muttering to himself......." Gee I wish we were still playing."Nick Castellanos said, "The Mets are not better than them. We've been the best team all year." Philly started the season hot, but struggled the last two months. Meanwhile, the Mets struggled early, but were the best team in the MLB since June. Also, NBC Sports Philadelphia talk so much trash. No one is good except the Phillies. The Mets basically stink.
Think I’m going with LA. Really want no part of the King I saw vs ATL, and Darvish looms for a G3/G7 which would equate to slow torture.I lean L.A. SD's bullpen is just filthy. But then so was Philly's right? And we shredded their pen. Both teams have SP issues. Imagine having to go with a bullpen game in the post-season. But it worked like a charm for the Dodgers last night. They both have power throughout their lineups. LA is a bit banged up with Freeman and Rojas who probably would go on the DL right now if this were the regular season.
I didn’t bold the part about Stearns. Nor did I mention him in the reply.Not so. It was reactionary.
Not thinking Stearns was the right guy?? Someone who built Milwaukee into a perennial NL contender with no money and a fanbase that couldn't even sell out all the games for last week's playoff series with the Mets? In one or two months, he's not the right guy? That's absurd. Despite loads of uniform evidence that Stearns knew what he was doing, the self-cutting and blood spilling commenced. They died-easy.
The reasonable ones, on the other hand, saw a team that would be near .500, above or below. The actual results were better, which was a testament to what Stearns was able to do during the season. And the results were nowhere near the doom and gloom blood letting show put on by the die-easy reactionaries. It was amusing to watch, but not very reasonable.
Nobody is an infallible prognosticator. But what was going on here in April and May and beyond . . .
No issue taking him out of the 5 spot but needs to stay in the lineup. My preference is that they don't add McNeil to the roster.Serious mean-reversion going on with Iglesias right now. He has to get dropped in the lineup.1
I saw that interview. The Phils went 50-48 over the last 98 games. The season series with the Mets went 7-6 Phils. Don't knoiw what team he was watching but the Mets had a much better record than the Phils over the last 100 games.He can talk with the TV remote in one hand and a beer in the other while muttering to himself......." Gee I wish we were still playing."
He's delusional but I'm sure if he states his case to a couple of drunk Philly fans, they'll buy his explanation, lmfaoI saw that interview. The Phils went 50-48 over the last 98 games.

I can see reason to have that opinion. He's a bit of a wingnut/wild card. But I don't think he's disliked by the team, and if he's hitting he's a force.No issue taking him out of the 5 spot but needs to stay in the lineup. My preference is that they don't add McNeil to the roster.
I wouldn’t upset current chemistry.I can see reason to have that opinion. He's a bit of a wingnut/wild card. But I don't think he's disliked by the team, and if he's hitting he's a force.
I read the entire Castellanos quote. The context is unfair IMO.Nick Castellanos said, "The Mets are not better than them. We've been the best team all year."

By the end of the World Series w will be better than then in all ways.I read the entire Castellanos quote. They context is unfair IMO.
What he said was "Do I think the Mets are a better team than us? No. But this series, they were." He went on to praise the Mets turnaround, specifically mentioning Iglesias' influence, and concluded "And just give them their credit, they beat us."
Nothing wrong with any of that.
You do, however, get what you deserve when you lose a series and then say that you’re better than the other team, no matter the qualifiers that you give and no matter that you were just answering a question. The smarter answer is: they beat us. Or: they beat us, so that question doesn’t matter. But he wanted to answer. Fine. But you get what comes with it.I read the entire Castellanos quote. They context is unfair IMO.

Then Mitchell went on to hit 50 hr's with San FranNext round- Alvarez catches unless he gets tired. Maybe his bat isn’t hot but our pitchers love him.
McNeil- if healthy, has to be with the team but who the F gets left off?
I can only go back to those 80’s teams with Mookie/Lenny Backman/ Tueffel. Knight/ Johnson - guys like Mitchell not starting…for just pure depth in the lineup
This shit has been so much fun
Re who gets left off, it will either be Acuna or the 13th pitcher, likely either Ottavino or D. Young.Next round- Alvarez catches unless he gets tired. Maybe his bat isn’t hot but our pitchers love him.

Only one prime time game per night, and the ALCS (meaning the Yankees, at least that's the plan) gets it.4:08/1:08 is just plain stupid
Going to devils game @ 1pm with 1:45 min drive home 💩💩💩
This was an absolutely awesome watch
Next round- Alvarez catches unless he gets tired. Maybe his bat isn’t hot but our pitchers love him.
He comes off the bench for multiple positions but I wouldn’t touch anyone for him right now. Even Acuña.McNeil- if healthy, has to be with the team but who the F gets left off?
Hope this continues.I can only go back to those 80’s teams with Mookie/Lenny Backman/ Tueffel. Knight/ Johnson - guys like Mitchell not starting…for just pure depth in the lineup

Keep Acuna. Move young.Re who gets left off, it will either be Acuna or the 13th pitcher, likely either Ottavino or D. Young.
That was when I really became a Mets fan. Teachers put the games on in class. Almost all day games back then.I miss the days of the day games- I may be wrong but don’t think my memory is tgat bad- 1969- my 2nd grade teacher crammed our class into the AV room to watch a Mets/Balt WS
