No doubt. Plus his stock has gotta be sky high right now. I would not want to be in Duke's shoes today. One one hand, we're 2 games out of a WC spot and right in the thick of things. On the other hand, we're one of about 6 teams within range of that WC spot and other teams (Toronto, Angels, Stros) have really bolstered their team. I see-saw everyday about trying to go for it, or trading away guys like Davis who could probably fetch a decent catch right now.

Like I said, wouldn't want to be Duke. I'm thinking no matter what happens today, he's going to anger a group of fans. Some think we need to trade the bank for Cespedes or others to go for it. Others think we need to sell. It's really a no win situation, as even when we go for it, EdRod for Miller, fans still burn him at the stake a year later.

But, the kicker is here is Boras and he is going to demand Trout or Cano money for Crush, and that's an over pay.

Might not be too bad. The Tigers have already gotten their huge haul by trading Price and Cespedes is almost assuredly gone after the season.

They may be willing to take a little less rather than get nothing (except the pick) in the offseason.

If Mets end up with Jay Bruce it may work out well for us to get Cespedes.

The Tiger's image isn't hurt, there is already rumors that Price is coming back next season, and I thought Tiger fandom was happy with what was given up for Price?

Manny is a long way away from worrying about right now. If you throw big money at him to lock him up, we're not gonna have much of a team around him.

Cal was the Manny of his day, and yet he played on 3, count em, THREE postseason years for the Orioles. I don't want the same for Manny.

Sorry if I have nightmares of him ending up in pinstripes.

      Mets-Braves tiebreaker?

      By O's84 · Posted

      The Braves currently hold the tie break leading the season series 6-5. Bottom line, regardless of what happens tomorrow, the Mets have to win both games of the Mon. Double header vs. the Braves to get in.

      Looks like the Detroit Tigers

      Detroit is one of those teams that got hot at the right time. I think they have won 6 in a row and were 9-1 in their last 10. I checked yesterday I think, but getting hot at the right time is huge for the Tigers. I think Texas last season got hot at the right time and they were like a freaking buzz saw.    I picked Baltimore to be a wild card before the season started, but had them going farther in the playoffs. I hope these guys can get it done. 🕊️

      With either team as the opponent, the key is going to be us.  At full strength, our lineup is just flat out better than either KC’s or DET’s. Not by a little. By a lot. Witt is unreal, and Perez, Greene, and Carpenter are all really good. But behind those guys, it’s a bunch of mostly light hitters that have had their hot streaks (with DET’s being mostly ongoing) that don’t really compare to the depth in our lineup. If our pitching mostly holds up, we’ll win as long as our hitters do what they can do. Both of those are giant question marks, obviously, and the season will hang on the answer our guys provide. But you really can’t ask for much more than an opportunity to go into a series saying we think we’re better on paper than them and we just need to perform — that certainly didn’t feel like the case last year, with the way the Rangers hit up and down the lineup all season.

      It looks to me like KC is happy to rest and get ready for the Astros with the way they used Witt. The White Sox actually have something to play for...with a win they avoid the worst winning percentage of the 162-game era, although 41-121 is not a lot better than 40-120.  To bad it looks like Detroit can back in at this point with the Braves much more motivated than the Royals.

      Let's just try to win 1 playoff game before we think about a 2nd round game.

      Irvin wouldn’t be eligible.

      How is the extra hitter just "a possibility" for the WC roster? If you can't get through 3 (at most) games with 12 pitchers, you're either doing something wrong or you desperately need to spend heavily on adding better pitchers in the offseason.
