I'm guessing my Braves will once again be good enough to win the division and lose in the first round. Oh well.

NL east is gonna be brutal this year, Mets, Braves, Nats will be the top 3 teams and any of them could take the division, Phillies will hang around all year and the Marlins will suck as usual.

:girlaff

Seriously though, I honestly don't see it, they have the Cano albatross contract, No real 3B and their outfield outside of Conforto is suspect at best. And Edwin Diaz looks like he is broken.

I have the Mets around 75 wins.

Mariner's got this.

One of two teams PECOTA gives a 0% chance to win it all!

The basic hopes for the Mariners this year are:

Marco Gonzales stays good
One of JP Crawford/Mallex Smith/Dan Vogelbach finally improves into a 3ish win player
At least one of Shed Long/Kyle Lewis shows the ability to be a 2+ win player in the near future
Evan White shows he can hit at the major league level
Someone out of the Justus Sheffield/Justin Dunn/Erik Swanson trio sticks in the rotation
Logan Gilbert graduates
Jared Kelenic, Julio Rodriguez, George Kirby and Cal Raleigh all stay on track
Noelvi Marte continues to show promise

In other words, get used to checking Arkansas and Everett box scores
NO

Streamer and PECOTA have the Mets as the fifth best team in baseball.  Diaz will be fine, he still had swing and miss stuff he was just very unlucky and the Mets defense certainly didn’t do him any favors.  Defense should be about the same but I expect Diaz is more likely to look like his usual self than what we saw last year.  As for third base that’s McNeil’s position this year.  Cano is an albatross sure, but he started to put it together in the 2nd half last year.

Biggest issue last year was the bullpen, Mets relievers blew 27 saves and they still managed 86 wins.  This year they added Betances and if Familia and Diaz pitch even close to their career average the bullpen should be a strength as well.

Cespedes is the major wild card imo, if he comes back hungry and looking to earn a new contract next season he could make the lineup extremely formidable.

All that said they are still the Mets and knowing how cheap the Wilpons are they’ll probably get their hands on a Boeing 737 max to fly the team around on and it’ll crash on the way back from spring training :doge

The Mets will struggle to a .500ish record. They won't truly suck or excel, in classic Mets fashion. They'll just sort of be there, like that vaguely disappointing middle child that always seems like they're about to get their life together and inevitably fucks it up. In another 3-4 years, they'll have 1-2 seasons where they're pretty good, making everyone think they're a relevant franchise again, before once again reverting to form.

That's it. That's the Mets way.

I will say that while the Nats have obviously been way more relevant and a bigger genuine threat recently, beating the Mets still gives me greater pleasure, because old habits die hard and their fans are truly delusional. Watching Mets fans go through the Sisyphean task of a 162 game season every year where they gradually come to realize that once again their team is still the same old Mets is one of the few remaining joys I have in sports or life.

Nah that’s not the Mets way at all.  If they’re gonna end up around .500 it’ll be with a 12-15 game winning streak followed by a month where they only win 4 games like June or July.  Perhaps they can challenge their recent record for fastest team to go from 10 games over .500 to 10 games under .500 :lol

Losing the coach that built the team up from a 100 loss team is not a slap on the wrist.

I never said anything about defending the Astros in that post.

My post is all about SHITTING on the people that have gone on a goddamn witch hunt towards the team. Going to baseball sites and talking baseball with ANYONE not an Astros or Red Sox fan is MISERABLE. Go to r/baseball and it is a goddamn circlejerk and ANYONE with an Astros is downvoted into the negatives. Non-Astros fans have treated the team, its fans (who are fans and HAVEN'T cheated), like complete dirt drilling down conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory. Got Yankees bitching about how the Astros ruined their careers. Now pitchers on other teams threaten to BEAN Astros players and deliberately throw 100 mph balls at the players. No. Fuck YOU.

I repeat: I want your teams RAPED.

Yes, the Astros have done something bad. But the circlejerk and constant conspiracy theories for MONTHS and MONTHS on social media has lit a fire in me, and by extension, the team. FUCK YOU.

MLB should have vacated the 2017 WS win and suspended the players implicated for 50 games which would have put a stop to the ongoing speculations.

Manfred could not have handled it any worse.
Justin Turner's comments were straight fire.

It's so sad that off-season baseball discussion has become almost unreadable (as opposed to merely nonexistent).

If only you'd gotten to spend the last couple months of 2017 completely numb and unable to feel joy in any capacity, Cindi. That would have been much easier than having to read some shitty posts in comments sections.

If this really is about losing the WS 2017 you would also raise a stink about losing in 2018 to the Red Sox who is also under investigation for cheating.

But fucking crickets.

Nah, you say jack SHIT about the Sox because YOU'RE FUCKING BUTT HURT and you can't ever take it back.

Two years in a row. Your team are LOSERS.

You talk about being fair but keep talking smack. We both know your team has the bigger market and it would impact MLB far more if it found out Dodgers were implicated of cheating.

Oh wait, they were. It was a league wide thing and yet you still only focus on the Stros. You lost to the Sox in 2018 - also cheaters, under the same staff person who brought the bullshit to the stros - and yet you still shit completely on the Stros and Stros fans with zero impartiality while claiming to be fair.

Fuck the Dodgers.

Your team are LOSERS.
