Let us have one thing. We have nothing else.

Hey, look what I have

 

[Malo]

YO SOY GARY

 

[CygnusXS]

Hey, look what I have

2001 wasn't that long ago.

 

[CosmicQueso]

You think YOU have nothing?

Hahahaha

Oh please. The M's have one of the best stadiums in baseball.

The Colisseum has rivers of human waste pour through the dugouts every time it rains.

 

[Loco4Coco]

That 1st place WildCard spot was fun while it lasted.

 

[Link]

Good to see the Mets taking care of business.

Probably my last contribution for this season.

 

[MythicReclaimer]

Just an amazing showing by the Mets here the last couple of days. Fantastic.

As a bonus, their offense is back to the norm.

 

[Ilive1up]

mets really shooting themselves in the foot against the braves. ugh.

 

[Choomp]

So how did the thing with the Braves offense happen? Was Matt Kemp the spark?

 

[Loco4Coco]

To be fair this is a far better Braves team in the 2nd half.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

So how did the thing with the Braves offense happen? Was Matt Kemp the spark?

Inciarte got back to normal after being injured. Kemp re-energized. Freeman's having a career year. Markakis' power returned.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Kill me now.

 

[CygnusXS]

So how did the thing with the Braves offense happen? Was Matt Kemp the spark?

Hard to say exactly, but Kemp's been good, Freddie's been on fire, Inciarte is riding a .400 babip in the 2nd half, Markakis started hitting for power, we called up Swanson, and Garcia was replaced by a more talented body double.

 

[baxter2231]

Easy schedule my ass. Then they uave the Marlins to deal with if they arent already out of it by then.

 

[Malvingt2]

So how did the thing with the Braves offense happen? Was Matt Kemp the spark?

It seems that is the case.

 

[Loco4Coco]

It seems that is the case.

Hmm, maybe the Mets should give up their best prospects to the Braves this offseason for Kemp.

 

[lazybones18]

really, Mets? Really?

 

[Malvingt2]

Hard to say exactly, but Kemp's been good, Freddie's been on fire, Inciarte is riding a .400 babip in the 2nd half, Markakis started hitting for power, we called up Swanson, and Garcia was replaced by a more talented body double.

Should the braves keep this line up next year?

or trade Kemp? Markakis? Inciarte?

 

[RBH]

Should the braves keep this line up next year?

or trade Kemp? Markakis? Inciarte?

I actually wouldn't be opposed to keeping all three of them plus Mallex as the 4th OF.

More than likely though, one will be traded for a pitcher. Out of those 4, I'm guessing Markakis. I'll be furious if they trade Inciarte.

 

[CygnusXS]

Should the braves keep this line up next year?

or trade Kemp? Markakis? Inciarte?

I would definitely try to move Markakis. He's still a below average player and we could reallocate his salary to a McCann or a starting pitcher. Might as well keep Kemp around next year, but there's no way to know how he'll perform.

So I'd do

C McCann or somebody to split with Flowers
1b Freeman
2b Albies
3b Ruiz/Garcia platoon
SS Swanson
LF Kemp
CF Mallex
RF Inciarte

I'd be looking for Rio to take over 3b full-time because I still don't see much value in Garcia. But I also don't think they need to push to be competitive next year. If it takes until 2018 or 2019, that's fine. Just don't pull a Padres and mess everything up.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Should the braves keep this line up next year?

or trade Kemp? Markakis? Inciarte?

I think they should definitely. There's a lot of talk about them re-acquiring Brian McCann in the offseason, but I think they should go after Wilson Ramos instead.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Guyer did something for once rather than getting socked by the Ball

 

[sf2fanatic]

Wow no Blackouts for the game. Nice!!

 

[brentech]

Indians find a way to do it again.

 

[Malo]

It'd been a while since a Yankees win.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

#Believeland in full force

 

[Choomp]

GREAT MOVE BY TERRY PINCH HITTING ERIC CAMPBELL

 

[Loco4Coco]

No Campbell you put the bat down

FUCK

Jay Bruce got pinch hit for Eric Campbell guys that's a low moment

And he gets a hit.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol even the ESPN crew is trolling MadBum

 

[Choomp]

What a terrible hop to Garcia. Travis needs to come through

 

[CygnusXS]

As I was saying, I'm not a believer in Adonis Garcia.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Should of pinch hit for TDA too.

 

[Choomp]

Also, should Soup have not been scoring on that or is it just me

 

[baxter2231]

If Bruce and DArnaud were riding the bench like they should have been they maybe winning this game ughhh

 

[sf2fanatic]

So what if I drop big Papi from my fantasy team? Who has first dibs?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What's the Braves' magic number?

 

[GhostWriter24]

I want to die. Now. Just end it.

 

[Choomp]

Cespedes was way too tuned up for that at bat. Ugh

 

[lazybones18]

Welp, St. Louis gonna tie for the top WC spot

 

[RBH]

Jim Johnson just made Cespedes look silly on that final pitch, wow.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Jim Johnson just made Cespedes look silly on that final pitch, wow.

Jim Johnson in 2016


E: lol what's going on in Texas? Coaches going at it?

 

[bonesmccoy]

Iwakuma, please buckle

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

stop acting silly Mets.

 

[PROh1bited]

Donaldson has been pretty useless the past month.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Welp, St. Louis gonna tie for the top WC spot

No such thing as a safe lead at Coors. Plenty of baseball left.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Rich Hill is a filthy human being.

Who has ever had movement on his pitches like this?

 

[PROh1bited]

Devon Travis has to be one of the worst defensive 2B in baseball.

 

[timetokill]

Vin once again telling Crawford to learn to slide lmao

 

[3N16MA]

It'd been a while since a Yankees win.

They need to take every game from the Rays. 7 combined games against the Jays and O's coming up.

 

[BFIB]

Everything is terrible.
