I’m calling it. Congrats to Buck Showalter and the 2022 National League East Champion New York Mets!
THIS is why you hire a professional manager. The Mets finally stopped making the mistakes of the past. Things have been calm, there is no circus, the players are getting long, the top 2 starters are out and the Mets quietly take series after series.
Let’s take a look at the standings!
8.5 game lead.
If the Mets play .500 the rest of the way they will win 88 games.
If I did my math right, the Braves need to go 66-49 (.573 ball) to tie at 88 wins.
Oh and the Mets are going to ADD deGrom and Scherzer to the top of the deck.
Congratulations to all the Mets, Vulgar Pete, Uncle Steve and everyone in the organization except Francisco Lindor who can rot for booing the fans. Never forget. Hopefully he gets DFAd.
