Mets top brass has to take the blame for this one, they treated all their young pitchers badly and now they are paying dearly. Harvey, Matz,, de Grom, and Syndergaard all were miss used last year.so this comes as no surprise.

How were they ALL misused last year? If anything, the only one that was misused was Harvey. Maybe the strength and conditioning should take the blame- not the front office who “pushed” these starters to get to the World Series.

You’re clueless.

Mets need one victory to claim at least a wild card tie with the Cardinals. That could happen today if the Reds best pitcher beats the Cardinals today.
That game (if needed to figure out the # 2 wild card) would be at St. Louis because the Cardinals have the tie breaker over the Mets. Although the season series was tied at 3 – 3. The second tie breaker is winning percentage in your own division. The cards have it and it cannot change.
In the meantime. Sunday remains relevant for the Mets even if they lose the first two in Philly and the Cards win their next three.. The Mets would be tied with the Cards if that happens. The Giants could only be a game ahead of the Mets on Sunday also if the Mets lost the first two in Philly and the Giants win their next three.
To secure the wild card over the Cards the Mets just have to win one and Cards lose won.
Verse the Giants, the Mets own the tie breaker and therefore would host the Giants if the Mets win two games, win one and Giants lose one or Giants lose two games.
If the Mets wind up in a three way tie, the Cardinals are the A designated team. The cardinals can choose to host the Mets on Monday but if they lose that game, they are eliminated. If they win, they host the Giants Mets winner of Tuesday’s game in San Francisco. This would be bad for the Mets as they would need Lugo on Monday . If they lose then they need a spot starter in San Fran on Tuesday and Colon on Wednesday.
This can all be avoided with one Mets win and a Cardinals loss.
To avoid traveling at all, the Mets need to win two games in Philly.
If the Mets can win Friday and Saturday, the Mets can save Syndergaard for the Wednesday home game. No matter how you slice it, the Mets magic number to be the # 1 Wild Card is “2.”

Mets have lost 4 guys that would be a #1 or #2 on almost every other team in baseball. Devastating losses and they are still in the playoff hunt. What an amazing job both Collins and the FO have done.

Not to mention having traded Fulmer (who was amazing for DET except for a 4 week tough run), Cessa (spent half the year with NYY) and Gant (who they faced in ATL last week)…

Wow. Imagine the embarrassment of riches if they still had healthy versions of Thor, deGrom, Harvey, Matz, Wheeler, and Fulmer, with Lugo and Gsellman also on hand and showing promise. Those are 6 #1-2 starters with a pair of others with sub 3.00 ERAs thus far. Just goes to show you truly never can have too much pitching. Thank god for Big Sexy.

Harvey when he’s healthy. And matz would be a 3 on good teams

I’m not sure if I’m ready to call Matz or Wheeler a #1 -2 starter considering..
