Three MLB futures I like

Marines - Without a doubt... Big Dumper will carry them into the playoffs
Cardinals - Don't know as really haven't paid any attention to that team
Mets - Yes, but barely

Nasher,

You left out the fact that Manea, which is probably the biggest piece of that. Once he and Senga get off pitch counts the Mets staff should be very good once again. Wish is good because I am still waiting to see the lineup bring the rake with them to the park. It is very frustrating watching this team hit (or should I say, not hit) this season. I would have to say if I was grading the disappointment of the lineup out of 10 it would be an 8 leaning on a 9. This team would be below .500 if the pitching hadn't carried the team. Pitching took a brunt of the criticism when Mets went on the massive losing streak, but lets be honest, what I saw was the hitting was exposed finally. The pitching staff had been so good, with half backup pitchers, that it hid the fact Mets lineup has been a joke all season. When they finally got hit for a period of time it magnified just how shitty this lineup has been.

It is all on that lineup to start pulling the weight or this team isn't going anywhere. I call them the billion dollar waste so far.

Good luck bro, always great to chin wack bases with ya.

JFC! If Mets lose again to Reds, I don’t know if they’ll get 90 wins.

Same shit different day. Lineup pathetic as fuk. Every half ass pitcher Mets make him look like a hall o famer.

I drafted Lindor in the second round, 22nd overall.
The biggest waste of a second-round pick in my fantasy baseball history.

Yeesh, he's surrounded by talent in that lineup, and the best he can give me is .254/19/54?
I have only myself to blame.

He is in a massive slump and hasn't been as steady this season, very streaky but ya last month pretty much worthless. Alonso had an MVP start but has basically zero homers since beginning of June. Vientos is pretty much worthless after great first year. All the hitters we got at the beginning of the year all injured for most of the season. Nimmo and Soto basically only two doing anything. I was hoping they would snap out of it for 2nd half but it appears business as usual 16 LOB already today.

What I find super ironic today is on the day David Wrights number was retired, great award show by the way and the documentary they made that aired Thursday was awesome (you should check that out Nasher), Maurico strikes out with the bases loaded in the 1st with an 0-4 also makes a throwing error on an easy double play ball that allowed 2 runs instead of ending the inning while playing 3rd base.

He was booed after his latest strikeout after he made the error at 3rd.

I'm hardly a Metropolitan fan, but that #5 was all class, he played the game like the old timers played, hard, and not afraid to get dirt on his uni.

That dude was easy to root for.

No doubt, one of my favorites
