no matter what happens in the end, this is amazing because getting to experience meaningful and fun August baseball is a thing that does not happen to Mets fans very often.

OMFGGGGGG the fucking fight in this team (vs the Marlins shhhhhhh), down 4-2 , offense looking lethargic in this 2nd DH game, BAM homers from JD, then back to back from Conforto and Alonso and the mets take the lead 5-4 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

BOUGHT ALL IN (until we face actual good teams)

yes the mets are within WC range, but the team still has significant weaknesses. it would take a shit ton of luck for them to be able to compete this year and they're finally getting some. but they still have no bench and the bullpen is going to revert and diaz sucks a ton but hey I'm going to enjoy this fun while it lasts cuz I know it wont lol. so if theres congrats its just on the recent fun for now lol

that looks pretty obviously fair to me. compare it to the wall, there's plenty of overlap with the line. don't know what the announcers and/or umps were smoking there.

I thought it was fair myself on replay, but not definitively and without the foul line it is difficult to tell. I was a little surprised it wasn't overturned but not completely shocked. That was the Chicago announcers though, wish I had a replay with ours. They acknowledged from some angles it looked fair

here's the play in question

https://twitter.com/MLBReplays/status/1156783555042775041

Bad groundskeeping to not have that line there. You can bet it'll be there tomorrow

~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion
2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS

Also, boy some interesting stuff during the Mets/ChiSox game today.
Ump saved the Mets a run by a line drive that kicked off of him. Runner scored, but the rule is a ball hit off an ump in the infield is automatic 1 base... wouldve drove in a run if it didn't hit him (or if the rule didn't exist)

But earlier , umps blew replay in a play where the sox SS came off second making a force out.

Worst of all though is this, I don't have a video yet, but in the 9th with the go ahead run on first base, JD Davis drives one down the line, lands in the corner and......

It lands right where the field looks like this:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EA2mNs8W4AAnJh_.jpg

Right where there's no foul line. What the hell???? How is this acceptable for a grounds crew? How can you just not have a foul line there for a good 10 inches? The ball hit right around there. Ruled foul on the field, went to replay and they couldn't tell, there was no way to. It looked fair from one angle but not enough evidence at all. So stupid though that that almost cost the Mets the game.

Luckily, they took care of it (but not before not getting deGrom a win in a gem, as per usual but to be fair it was vs Giolito)

What do you think about Florial for Wheeler? See that's one I thought actually made some sense for both teams. I guess dealing Stroman to the Yankees wouldn't have stung the Wilpons as much since they only just got him. Plus, it's basically turning the guys they dealt to the Blue Jays into even better prospects.

Mets need guys who are ready to play for 2020, so that wouldn't have worked. The stroman deal locked them specifically into that year. Frazier or Andujar for Wheeler would've been more fair like I said but not a fit. If they turned around and dealt Stroman right after getting him, that would've meant they were looking at 2020 as a rebuild year. So I'm not sure I even believe that Stroman reported deal, as it is opposite of their trying to compete in 2020 strategy, which all of their moves have lined up with. The 2019 plan doesn't make sense, but the 2020 does (if they spend, so jury still out "lol")

Among dead-ends #Yankees ran into was deal with #Mets, who I'm told were ready to flip Stroman to the Bronx in exchange for Estevan Florial and Deivi Garcia, among others. #Yankees said no.

The Mets , keeping Wheeler really makes no sense considering they didn't add any BP pieces. Either they were to trade wheeler for something as a focus on 2020 or they keep him and get some relievers if they are delusional enough to compete in 2019. Doing one and not the other literally makes no sense. It's always the fucking middle ground, half measures with this team in literally everything they do.

Mets held onto wheeler. Probably a bad idea , they're not competing this year, I don't think they think that. This means they're trying to extend him?

this is Alonso's first slump all year, he'll be fine

And yeah, it's sad how much they underrate Conforto. This is a fanbase where the dumb fans love to underrate everyone.

Anyway Pete alonso tweeted some sappy shit with a LFGM so I guess I'm suckered back in for now and ready to get hurt again lol

woooooooow McNeil and Conforto went back to back, take that 5-2 lead I'm back all in baby (lol)
McNeil did it for his new puppy. Juiced ball aided though.
Conforto's donger was massive though.

sure, theres luck involved on a small scale like that. Big picture isn't luck. Any good pitcher having a bad year can be attributed to bad luck, not arguing that. I'm just saying Mets brass doesn't get to use bad luck as an excuse for his bad season because with more smart moves, his bad season would be much less destructive to the Mets season.
---

~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion
2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS

Relievers are volatile. When you trade for one at his highest possible value, you're giving up way too much and have to expect regression. This is a team that fired its pitching coach mid-season so they're pretty much admitting (even if they're wrong) that it's on them.

It's not just Diaz. The entire bullpen has been awful except for Lugo. This is 100% on them and not luck, because if they had even 1 iota of competence they would've had someone else by now able to fill in at the closer role, but they don't have that. They don't have bullpen depth. Diaz being awful would not affect this team as much had they done better int he bullpen. Him being bad is luck, but his poor pitching affecting the Mets as significantly as it has is 100% their fault. Not luck at all.
---

~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion
2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS

Edwin Diaz is the fucking worst pitcher I've ever fucking seen.

How the earthy fuck does a guy with a 1.60 ERA last year have zero fucking control every single fucking night this year

Walk
K
Wild Pitch
HBP in the face
Wild Pitch
Sac Fly
Walk
K (strike 3 should've been ball 4 but he swung at a garbage pitch)

tie game, extras.

The Cano/Diaz trade is literallygoing to go down as the worst trade in mets history. So fucking awful from every fucking aspect.

-get 2 awful players, one of whom has one of the worst contracts in MLB history.
-give up your 2 elite prospects, a quality outfielder and a quality reliever.

~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion

take the cano contract also and i'll think about it

Edit: I'll do syndergaard and the wilpons straight up for Yankees ownership + Cashman

~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion

The Yankees are welcome to Zack Wheeler though. one of Frazier or Andujar for Wheeler is fair, but again, not really considerate of the Mets defensive needs

~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion

Also Seth Lugo has ice in his veins, awesome job coaxing coming into a bases loaded 8th inning 1 out jam, 1 run game, and gets the double play
---

~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion
2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS

Yeah, the Mets #1 focus for next year needs to be on fixing their abysmal defense both in the infield, and a strong defensive centerfielder, and fixing the bullpen.

(edit: And more pitching depth... so definitely not trading pitching)

Those guys are a terrible fit for them.

Wigs, if you were GM, what would the Yankees have to offer you for you to realistically think about giving up Thor?

Now that I've already traded prospects away for Stroman, nothing. Trading Syndergaard is counter-intuitive to that

until the usual metsing happens like this right now, that is.

Hate syndergaard being taken out here. Still, what a performance.

hanging your hopes and dreams on kluber seems pretty risky at this point

also hi KCF I guess we are rivals for a few days. Thanks for helping to boost syndergaard's trade value, this makes it less likely he's traded as the wilpons will only ever sell low, not high

wow another huge trade for a non-contender. It's about trying for next year, I guess!

Padres get Trammell (#30 overall prospect) from Reds
Indians get Puig from Reds, Logan Allen (#98 overall prospect) and Framnil Reyes from Padres
Reds get Bauer from Indians

i think the indians got most screwed here. That is not proper value for Bauer. Puig is a rental. Franmil Reyes is 'eh'.

yep. No such thing as a bad return for him, so literally doesn't matter who they got. Even though he was having an ok year, you can't trust that. At a minimum, this trade at least makes it very clear they have no intention of contending this year, for anyone that thought they might be trying cuz they got stroman. The Stroman trade was obv an attempt to contend in 2020 only.

But, in the funny part of the trade, since the guy they got is a no bat, all-defense 26 year old in AA... it looks like he played at Penn with Jeff Wilpon's son in college so like.... yep certainly no ulterior motive here lol.

Can't be mad either way cuz like I said it literally could've been anyone, I was expecting nothing for him. But man, the Wilpons gonna Wilpon.

Also fuck Jason Vargas for being a piece of shit. "Fight me bro"

Actually, I am seeing the sources now. But he was just upset (via sources so who knows - that could still just be speculation) that he wasn't traded to a contender this year.

I mean, I would prefer to be contending too so can't blame him. (I'd also be pissed I was traded to a place where ownership is going to force me to pitch through injuries).
