Maybe I missed something, but I'm pretty sure those three are off playing golf somewhere, not baseball.  This is the team that traded most of its prospects off last year, so there's little chance of a significant trade, and that has two of its better starting pitchers with bone spurs, so they may not last the entire season.  

That also has charts showing the probability of making the playoffs.  They're estimating the Mets are just barely better than even money right now.

Thats not true at all. Both Matz and Thors spurs are minor and they expected to have normal workloads throughout this season. Matz will probably miss spring training next year. 

The mets farm system is short on prospects at some positions, but all of their top pitching prospects are still in place.

An interesting series starts tonight.  The Mets could catch the division-leading Nationals, or fall as far as 8 games behind.  I'm guessing neither will happen, the Nats will start the break with at least a 4 game lead.

Mets will throw Matz, Thor and the great Bartbino in this series. I like their chances to take 3 of 4. The ghost of matt williams still haunts the nats. And low long is it going to be until Dusty bakes the entire pitching staff?

Tonight will be interesting, old man Colon against the young stud Giolito.  The young guy threw 4 innings of shutout against the Mets in his first major league start, who knows what his second start will hold.

Baker will make him throw 12 innings.

Its a shame to lose a good player like that, but it happens to most teams from time to time.  Even with Harvey's problems this season he was thought to be better than his replacement.  The Nats are lucky to have Giolito in the pipeline, even considering his tough outing last night.  What's on for tonight, another pitcher's duel like last night?:bugout:

It explains his shoulder issues. Mets willl bring up guys from AA and AAA to replace him until they find a fit. The bats are hot. Kershaw couldn't slow down the mighty mets right now. 

Strasburg vs Thor tonight. I doubt there will be 25 hits in this one.

Mets have definitely been hot, but  Strasburg hasn't lost all year, and has looked great since he had a couple of weeks off.  The Nats chased Syndergaard after 3 in their last match-up.   Looks like a toss-up to me.

He's just had the one outing where he got pulled with a no hitter going agaist the reds. The reds swing and miss more than any team in the NL though. Thor has been blazing his last two starts.

Maybe Kershaw couldn't slow down the Mets, but Strasburg sure did.  Series even now, two to go, and Scherzer-Verrett looks like the edge is to the Nationals tonight.  Tomorrow, edge to the Mets, Gio hasn't been anything close to consistent for a while.

Nats go into the break with a 6 game lead, took the series against the Mets 3-1. :banana:  And it looks like the Mets have used up their pitchers, one with bone spurs, one with bone spurs and "arm fatigue", and a third out for the year.  Its a long ways to 110 wins.

He's safe, that looks to have been the last series the Mets will lose to the Cubs this season.  Unless the Mets are lucky enough to get the last wild-card spot.

    • It's not Scottie's fault the announcers keep saying that about him, that seems like a silly reason to root for someone else IMO.    I think announcers have at least somewhat of a role in giving amateur golfers unrealistic expectations for what a good shot is. They act like PGA Tour players should make every 8 foot putt and hit it inside 5 feet from 100yds when in reality they only make just over 50% of their 8 footers and tour average from 100yds is around 20 feet.
    • Touche'. Fair point. 
    • I used to find commentators really obnoxious like this, then I watched one of the online streams of the Masters (I think it was amen corner) that had someone commentating on it, but they were literally just stating the name of the player about to hit and their score and other drab stuff. It was so bland I couldn't watch it. Worse than nothing, but I did want to know some of the stuff they were talking about, which is something of a catch-22. I did realize that the commentary team have a pretty rough time of it and do a hard job and some of them do it better than you might realize. 
    • Okay, this is my opinion. But you really should consider getting data. No offense but human memory can be odd. Sometimes we make a long putt early on with our new putter and from that first impression onward you have a "putter that's good for long putts." We may miss our first two short ones and now you have "A putter that doesn't work for short putts". Sometimes these things even out over time, sometimes they don't, but it's often tough to break our first impressions of what's happening.  Plus, let's say that in fact it is true. You putt better from long distance with a broomstick and better from close up with a standard putter. Which one holds more weight? Here's an example. If your short putting is -5 SG (Strokes Gained) and your long putting is +5 SG does that mean your over all putting is 0 SG? What if your overall putting with one putter is -2 SG and +2 SG with the other putter? The answer to which putter should you use is of course is "It depends". BUT.... If you had SG (strokes gained) data for both putters you would know right away which putter is better for you. Or at least you'd have a better idea. This still doesn't take into account the difficulty of where you are playing, and/or the particular days in which you play. We've all had those putting days where it "feels" like everything you hit rolls in. AND... we've all had those days where it "feels" like you can't make a thing.  My best advice is get putting lessons. ... My second best advice is get data.  Unless you just want to get a new putter. Than go ahead. I love shiny things and I'd be the last person to claim I have never replaced a club that was working fine just because I wanted to get a new one. 
    • I think it is only a matter of time before a voiceover app that can be applied to live telecast will come and rescue us one of these days. And I think it will be hilarious.
