They rank these guys high as soon as they get drafted, traded for or paid a big signing bonus as a IFA. But they haven't shown at all what they will be able to do as paid players so when they start to flounder down they go. But I guess the people who make these lists have to do something to keep their jobs. So they have to rank somebody.

Mets prospect Drew Gilbert writhes in pain, exits game after getting hit by pitch
Gilbert was down for about a minute and tried to stay in the game against the Nationals’ Triple-A affiliate, but was ultimately pulled for a pinch runner.

Pete would like to than all the fans who shat on him during his slump.Polar bear waking up from hibernation
Gonna need to see it in more than one game before I'm ready to say he's on any sort of tear.Polar bear waking up from hibernation
Oh dear higher power--please, please, please do not lose a series to the lowly Athletics.
Please score a run in the ninth.

The game time of 3:47 for 9 innings was the longest game in the pitch clock era.
At least they didn't beat them in a hurry.

From you, that is a strong statement. Mets fans thought they had the easy ride.
Some old sayings seem apt:
Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
Even the losers get lucky sometime.
It ain't over until the fat lady sings.
If anyone has been lucky it has been the Mets. Their record in one run games had been insanely good. Reversion to the mean can be a bitch.
Mets were also lucky that the A's best hitter missed the series on paternity leave.
Oakland has been playing very good ball over the last month and a half.
Yes, 22-15 since the All Star Break. Mets have truly reverted to the mean. Gotta take care of one or more of the Braves, Diamondbacks and Padres.
I don't see much luck or lack of luck for the Mets. They're right about where you'd expect them to be. It shows in their record, their run differentials, and frankly in their play all season. At times plodding along, and also a very cold streak that was met with with a very hot streak. This is them.
Obviously much can change over the next month and a half. But right now, looks like the Mets are who we thought they were. An 85 win team, give or take a few, which if everything breaks right, may be good enough to sneak into the playoffs. That was true in March and it is true today.

Certainly not close to good enough when you're doling out money to one of the highest payrolls in the game. I would guess Cohen feels the same since he's the one writing those checks. I sure hope so. After all he went on record at the time he took over that his goal was to have a championship team within 5 years. The GM has a lot of work to do. Starting with some pitchers who won't walk the world and some hitters who can produce when it counts. Meaning when its late in a close game and not just when it's 8-1 or 9-1.
Can’t be in a playoff race and lose 2 of 3 to angels / get shellacked in Seattle / lose 2 of 3 to Oakland and get embarrassed blowing a game after leading 5-0
Anything short of a sweep against the Marlins is not good enough.
I, for one , am not confident of a sweep especially given the troubles that the Marlins have always given the Mets.

The Marlins always give the Phillies problems, two; the two-game series was a split. I don't understand how the Marlins can be otherwise so bad and yet give the Phillies and Mets such troubles.
Number one question for this thread ????
Mets still a wild card threat by Howard kickoff ???
Play Diamondbacks that Thursday at 3:30

Depends on the meaning of "threat".
Will they be a favorite? No.
Will they have a legit shot if they go 20-10 in their last 30? Yes.
41 games left. Need to go 24-17. That would put them at 10 over .500. At 86-76, I think that'll get them in.
I wouldn't bet much if anything on that given the consistent inconsistency of this team.
Unbelievably the Padres and Dbacks both lost in the same day. Plus the Atlanta Braves. And we actually took advantage of it.
I know we've been playing bad but still only 1 behind them now. Would be nice if SD and AZ slowed down a bit as well.
I can promise you they will slow down a bit. The question is whether they will slow down enough. Or maybe even go in reverse, as I think think at least one of them will.
My guess is that Arizona is not the one you think most likely to go in reverse. They looked really good against the Phillies.
It's free. Not sure who the broadcast team will be. Hopefully better than AppleTV's crews have been.
I know it is but I'm not downloading yet another app. I'm over it and I love streaming concept.
See below. You can also watch on a browser, I think.
Why? This broadcast cre is pretty good.
