The New York Mets have the hardest schedule in the NL East. Nobody in that division is going to get a Wild Card berth so most of the division will upgrade like the Braves just did. If the Mets don’t do this quickly, not only with their slim two-game lead evaporate, so could their season.
While Francisco Lindor is out with an oblique, Trevor Story could be on the radar. That would get JD off third base and in the outfield where he’s not as bad but still can clout some home runs. Story could play shortstop for a while and then transition to third base when Lindor is back from injury.
If they can’t get Story, then Kris Bryant is the next best option. He’s been playing a lot of positions this year and that would suit the Mets as well. He would get used mostly in the outfield and some third base as well. Again, the Mets lost by six one night and won by six the next against the awful Pittsburgh Pirates. Losing 2 out of 3 to them hurt them
The Mets front office has been slow to move before and that wasn’t the case in 2016, the last time they made the playoffs. With Jacob deGrom not pitching for the next two series, should they pick up Cole Hamels? Probably. The Phillies could as well. The other option is rushing Carlos Carrasco who is pitching in AAA. He got through one rehab start and this one will be three innings for 60 pitches. That’s not enough to see about him making his first Mets start but the Mets seem desperate enough to throw him in the rotation if this one on Tuesday is a good start.

Ep 38: Tyreek Hill Traded To The Dolphins

Mets fans have seen their team fade before. Even one in first place. None of them wants to see a repeat of that.

Cardinals Yadier Molina Isn’t The Greatest Defensive Catcher of All-Time
Fangraphs has decided that not only is he the best defensive catcher (nine gold gloves) but he’s the best defensive player ever. I-Rod is the catching leader with 13 gold gloves, let’s start there.
The stat is called Defense (def) and it’s dumb. This is a stat that has two combined and then does an adjustment and that’s when I say, stop it!
Molina is better than Ozzie Smith defensively who had 13 of them? No. Is he better than Brooks Robinson who had 16 gold glove awards? How about Willie Mays who had 12.
Let’s have some respect to these kinds of great players and not create statistical clickbait. I saw that a St. Louis radio station ran with it, and it’s just nuts that it buys it just because Molina is still on the team.
Molina is a great player. Don’t tell me something new is definitive. Molina is ranked 214th in caught stealing %. Joe Mauer and Buster Posey actually rank ahead of Molina in fielding percentage. You remember that statistic. So, let’s not put up unsubstantiated “facts” and act like it’s the gospel.
