An excellent piece, Barry.
Like the way you tied it all together.
"It’s a long season as we all know with basically 100 games left to play. Machado or Arenado has always been the age-old question. Right now, it’s Arenado. We’ll see what happens as the next couple of months play out."
@AlbaneseLaura "His time at play-acting at being a star is over. He’s on a real stage and on his way to becoming the real thing. And for the Mets, the tune couldn’t be sweeter."
Nice ending.
"It's brutal" — hurler David Peterson tells the New York Post when asked about the Mets' West Coast-heavy schedule.

The Mets have yet to face division rivals Atlanta or Philly.
The team is finally done after Sunday's win over the Padres.
Balance is needed.

Horse feathers.
Pitchers get paid to help win ballgames. Managers get paid to decide how to use players to win ballgames.
Do your job.

@TalkinBaseball_ I always wonder about what you are getting with these guys who test positive for PEDs.
He's a low-average, power hitter. So, how much power now?
Look at Fernado Tatis Jr.?
