I like the Mets chances they have a cakewalk of a schedule to end the year. The offense is starting to get hot too.

 

[Mexi]

Giants game last night was crazy
Schimpf hit a 3 run homer with 2 outs and 2 strikes lmfao
Theyve blown 6 of their last 10 save opps. Wow


And they play the cards next for 4 and then the dodgers for 6
As bad as theyve been. They still have the division for the taking

[Adebayo]

Casilla is the worst. Bochy is wayyyyyyyy too loyal to him.

 

[cruzg24]

Like clockwork, Mets sweep the Twins next up the Braves. This is so bittersweet without Harvey, Degrom, and Matz.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Like clockwork for a franchise notorious for choking? That doesn't make sense

 

[cruzg24]

Like clockwork in terms of the Mets beating up on teams with below .500 records for the past 3 years.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Usually we lose to those teams.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Usually we lose to those teams.

 
Let FPS dissect!!!

 

[cruzg24]

Actually no.

The Mets last year were 50-16 against the Rockies, Reds, Braves, Phillies, and Marlins.

And only 7-20 against the Cubs, Pirates, Dodgers, and Cardinals.

This year its been a mixed bag. 19-21 versus playoff contenders. Slightly above .500 against teams below .500

 

[CameronCrazy06]

19-21. Like clockwork!!!

 

[elcheato]

The 19-21 was against playoff contenders bro, not the teams below .500

Before last year we always blew it against really bad teams

 

[Phil The Thrill]

before last year you guys blew in general.

 

[cruzg24]

Its now a 3 way tie after the Mets lost and the Cardinals and Giants won.

 

[cruzg24]

Fuck this even if we make the playoffs itll be a quick and painful exit. Getting swept by the Braves is embarassing, I cant believe the Cardinals havent run away with it.

What a rob by Inciarte.
