Would you prefer if they went on a skid during the last 17 games?

I thought the same thing....only it was back in early August when they had another 7 game winning streak. Then I thought it again after they swept the Rockies and Phillies and had another 7 game winning streak. Now they have yet another 7 game winning streak. Maybe this team is just going to stay hot? I know it's hard to accept for us Met fans, but maybe they are just really that good. They have a good starting staff, a productive lineup, defense that TYPICALLY isn't going to lose you games, a solid bench, and a bullpen that is hit or miss.

That's... a good point.Would you prefer if they went on a skid during the last 17 games?

I was actually pretty upset that the Twins hired Molitor over him. Moli's been good, but I wanted them to bring in fresh blood. It's encouraging to see that both options were decent.
Too bad they aren't as good at roster construction!

I like this picture
Cespedes will probably cool off, but no one else is really doing anything transplendent. It's just good depth fueling this run.

Do it 2000 Yankees style and lose 15 of your last 18.
The Mets fans in this thread would die if that were to happen.

I can't turn down this challenge.
I nominate this avatar
In fact, I'm gonna up the ante on this: if the Mets win the WS everybody in this thread has to wear it for a week.
Edit: In case anybody gets any funny ideas, all my posts on GAF come from a galaxy far, far away from where he resides.
Well since the Mets will Mest in the playoffs I'll take this bet.
I'm more worried about a Yankees style championship series at this point

They're going to be facing the Dodgers, the Vegeta of baseball teams, in the first round. Easy ticket to the NLCS.

So 2-3 weeks for Tulo?
Not bad. Must be a stress fracture/hairline fracture then.

I mean, if they both can return to regular duty and hit the ground running right away, I'd say the perfect time for them to get healthy would have been two weeks ago...

As long as they stop playing like total dogshit, the Cards are still in a good spot to hold off the Pirates/Cubs. Margin for error has shrunk but perhaps it's a good thing to get them playing some meaningful baseball heading into October.
At least you get your last series against the Braves (who, by the way, are 3-24 in their last 27 games).
A player only has to be part of the orginazation by August 31 to be eligible for the postseason. He does not have to be on the 40 man roster before August 31. A pitcher like Julio Urias can still be in the postseason as well. Doesn't matter when they are called up, just when they joined the organization.
I.e. Someone like Darwin Barney who joined the Jays orginazation after August 31 is not eligible for postseason.

He's been our long reliever, but he's been put into the rotation to give the starters extra rest.

YO!
Oh, a Buddy Carlyle type.
Honestly, it's a tough call. Lagares is fast and that's a pretty hard throw to make, but you're right with Cespedes up you don't want to chance it. I even joked that "now when he hits a home run we'll only get one run instead of two"

No, a player has to be on the 25man before the 31st to be eligible, which is why September call ups aren't eligible (if thats the first timw they were called up). It literally says that in the rule you quoted. This is why the waiver trade "deadline" is Aug 31 - technically trades can happen afterwards, but any players will not eligible for the postseason for their new team (typically the point of midseason trades)
There is a loophole with injuries or whatever, though, so yes technically he is eligible in the event that someone is on the DL at the end of the season

I was joking about how bad they look at the plate tonight. Seriously though I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't get another hit.
Yes. he is.
