TWiB Notes - Sep 2 thru 8
Re: TWiB Notes - Sep 2 thru 8
Padres did win so the only team the Mets gained on was Arizona. Better than nothing I suppose.
Twenty one games left and four teams vying for three spots, barring a miraculous late surge by the Cubs or Cardinals.

They're not making it easy on us ... but we're gaining.
Last 20 games:
NYM 15-5
ATL 13-7
SDP 12-8
ARZ 10-10
Would be nice if just one of them fell apart for a while.

Elvis (Andrus) has left the Major Leagues.
Spent his last two seasons w/the ChiSox but hadn't played at all this year. Just now announcing his official retirement.
15 seasons, 12 w/Texas, 2nd RoY*, twice an All-Star, and one really good punch to the jaw of Jose Bautista**
* in 2009 to Oakland reliever Andrew Bailey who cashed it in after 2017. Probably tough to find a more anonymous RoY
** I just realized I whiffed on the puncher to Bautista's punchee. It was Rougned Odor, not Andrus. I conflated Texas middle infielders.
Odor also left MLB at the end of last year but he's back home in 2024 playing in Venezuela

Justin Verlander isn't doing us any favors tonight.
He's already served up a 3R HR vs Arizona and now is in a 4-0 hole w/bases loaded, one out, top 3 in the SNB feature.
Yank him already!!!
oe: too late, add a GS to the mix and now it's 8-0 after just seven outs.
Braves won in 11 innings
SDP dropped a second straight.

Neither Verlander nor Max are making us miss having them.
