Doesn't matter, only care about our guys and how theyre playing heading into the playoffs.
We're seeing them lose games against bad teams now with less talented players, so yea I'd feel better if our guys were playing better going into the playoffs against better teams and players then the ones they've been losing to.
IMO..
Record wise no not really meaningful, although you'd like to see some positive momentum going into the playoffs the final 10 games or so...
Players wise, having key guys struggle for the most part their final 30-60 games isnt exactly comforting heading into the post season.
So, these last 2 weeks it would be really good to start seeing guys playing better and pick up some positive momentum heading into the playoffs.
Might as well, Mets are the only playoff team they have on schedule now with 17 left.
Keep Tucker out til that final homestand and then get him in a couple games there to get his timing back, and give the others a couple days off the last week of season.
I dont think anyone really fears that they'll miss the playoffs at this point, theyre not "collapsing", theyre just playing 500 ball over the last 2 months and not looking like a team that could seriously make some noise in the playoffs.
I get outside of the Brewers that the other playoff teams haven't been playing all that great themselves but we fans mainly see what our guys are doing every game against so so pitching and it frustrating to feel like they'll just lay an egg when they actually face a team top 2 starters and best pen guys in a series.
