    One good thing: 28 of our next 39 are at home

    It took the previous 13 games prior to this series for the Mets to score as many runs as they have scored in these 4 games. #embracingtheinnerstark

    Haven't really been pessimistic as much as Jason stalking negative observations. Most do because I was very insufferable in 2008 when I was actually being pessimistic. Now I'm slightly less insufferable but occasionally say something funny or positive

    you can't both say those things you said and then say that...like, i'm not worried by this recent stretch (mostly i'm just trying to ignore it), and i never believed their true talent level was 110+ games. that's, uh, really high. and i feel like that is an understatement. I'm kinda impressed how wildly UMFan oscillates from crippling pessimism to delusional optimism. Haven't really been pessimistic as much as Jason starking negative observations.

    I hope so. Definitely good enough to do that but it's hard to expect a team to finish at least 54-27 when they've gone 26-24 in last 50 games (and yes I understand all good teams ply .500 a chunk of the season. Just hard to visualize it when you are in that period). That said I still believe the talent level of this team is 110+ games just can't quite figure out why it hasn't translated lately. Probably because I'm dumb you can't both say those things you said and then say that...like, i'm not worried by this recent stretch (mostly i'm just trying to ignore it), and i never believed their true talent level was 110+ games. that's, uh, really high. and i feel like that is an understatement. Yeah it is and I think they have the talent to win that many games. Obviously luck falls into that equation and the Cubs have been one of the most unlucky teams in the league. If we are playing to our Pythagorean (was 6 games worse. After this series were probably closer to 4 wins now) we are 55-26 after today or exactly on pace for 110 wins with neutral luck

    We are underplaying our talent level and dealing with a lot of injuries and regressing at the same time we are playing a majority of our games against contenders. Doesn't explain all the losing but it is a reason for a lot of it

    I thought that was going be the grandpa Simpson in the burlesque house gif

    The Mets went through an entire run through the order and every single batter reached base.
  10. UMFan83
    8 straight reach lol
  11. UMFan83
    Gonna be funny when we have like 8 all stars announced on Tuesday
  12. UMFan83
    13-16 record on the road since May 4th if we don't win this one (arbitrary sample size alert)
  13. UMFan83
    Before the series the mets fans were fearing we swept them.
  14. UMFan83
    28 pitches through 2. He is on pace for 7 (98 PC) or 8 (112 PC) IP
  15. UMFan83
    Wait we have to score against this freak again if we want to win?
  16. UMFan83
    I was gonna say we got through 6 batters, we must have wracked up his PC but it's only at 18
  17. UMFan83
    He hit better in AAA than he did Spring Training Of course that was in 25 games and he was below average the 50 games prior in AA
  18. UMFan83
    Something seems fishy. He's been out what 2.5 weeks? And has been on a rehab assignment since last Monday? A week of rehab after 10 days off? Plus he didn't play in Iowas game yesterday. I'm guessing he had a setback but I guess a trade is a possibility however strange it seems.

    Welcome to the majors Jeimer, you get to face Syndergaard
  20. UMFan83
    Shouldn't TLS be ready already after a week in Iowa?
  21. UMFan83
    How long has this funk been... 2 weeks? Maybe 3.. while banged up with injuries? I mean as a whole they've been playing slightly over .500 since early May. But that's heavily weighted by the current 12-14 stretch since June 5. (Wait that's why arbitrary sample sizes don't work? I think I get it now)
  22. UMFan83
    Don't worry just have to beat Syndergard to avoid a sweep
  23. UMFan83
    We lose
  24. UMFan83
    Feel like we are striking out a ton more than we were in April and May
  25. UMFan83
    Probably going to be pitching on 5 days rest this time around? I know it's not like he was pitching well enough to feel good about extending him.
