need to make Diaz as much of a nonfactor as possible; no 1-run leads in the 9th

I was looking at the Mets' roster this morning, and I would think their Top 3 starters + Alonso + McNeil would give them at least a decent chance at a wild-card. On the other hand, I was also thinking that yesterday's Sanchez deal (supposedly he and Stroman, former friends, had a falling out at some point) was another way of sticking it to Stroman: "Okay, you're going to the Mets, and you're going to the Astros."

mets might be a case of how being an awful defensive team is hard to quantify
― mookieproof, Thursday, 1 August 2019 15:33 (four years ago) link
the metrics are doing a fair job of that (28th in team defense last i looked)

4 games out of the wild card with 54 games to play doesn’t sound too bad, even if the majority of those games are against over .500 teams.

It's almost comical how pitchers continue to throw Jeff McNeil first-pitch strikes. Isn't this what scouting reports are for? He's now batting .416/.423/.883 with nine of his 14 home runs on the first pitch of an at-bat.— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) August 5, 2019

If you were to graft Alonsos' first half with McNeil's second half, you might have one of the greatest rookie seasons in quite a long time.
