Finally got the starting 9 right. Not sure about the configuration though. LFGM!
Leading all of baseball in HR.
But yea, Alonso's production is nuts regardless
He is the complete package as a hitter.
I think it’s because they show up and keep plugging away regardless. I’m just hoping for a strong finish no matter what.
deGrom consecutive CY push would be nice.
Alonso getting 50.
Clinch a winning record.
If they somehow miraculously clinch the 2nd WC, even better.

Its still a really fun team. How can you not root for Nimmo, Conforto, Alonso, McNeil, Rosario, etc? Pen and Mickey did us in this year but this team still has a lot of talent.
Except for Seth Lugo

not one reliever on the Mets pitches better in a deGrom game than their averages. For most, it's much worse.
Except for Seth Lugo
no idea how I missed that, you are correct.

Most starts allowing 1 run or fewer by a starting pitcher in first 168 games, since 1908:
Jacob deGrom: 77
Clayton Kershaw: 74
Jake Arrieta: 68
Stephan Strasburg: 67
Jon Lester: 65
Jered Weaver: 65
Jake Peavy: 65
Is Lugo out? he only threw 10 pitches.
Baty had a double and a BB (with 2k's).
Jake would need to continue this HOF production for another 4/5 years to even be in the conversation. Unfortunately, the Mets have torpedoed his chance at the HOF by NEVER winning his games. And yes, wins are still factored.
Either way, it’s too early to tell.
He may do enough from an accolades standpoint, but probably not from a longevity lens.
possible, but odds are against it IMO.
It's not impossible but it's going to be an uphill fight since he got such a late start. Winning a Cy Young this year, pitching at this level for another 3 or so years after this, and being at least effective/good into his late 30s would probably get it done.

3 Cy Young's, and perhaps a WE ring if not WS MVP, and he's in.
Didn't watch the game, and this was far from the only criticism in the article but really?

I have no expectations but I keep having a weird feeling that these guys are gonna squeak in. It doesn't make sense given how bad the bullpen is, but they are so resilient and I think the starting pitching is going to string together another 2 turns through the rotation of great starts.
Cubs have 7 with Cardinals. If Cards can go 5-2 we might have an opportunity.
