Community Picks: New York Mets 0% vs Miami Marlins 0%

In case you haven't noticed, the Mets have picked up five games in seven days in the race for the final Wild Card spot. Last week, they trailed the Rockies by 13 losses. Today, they're eight back, thanks in large part to Colorado losing eight games in row. At the same time, there are now just three games dividing the six closest teams chasing the Rockies, who lead the Cubs by only five losses. The point is, things are tightening up. The Mets play seven of their next 10 games against teams that are below .500, after which they welcome the Rockies for three games at Citi Field. In other words, if the Rockies can keep in their current downward spiral, and continue losing in Queens, the National Continue to Article

Asdrubal Cabrera has had a change of heart and no longer wants to be traded by the Mets, he recently told Mike Puma of the NY Post. Late last week, Cabrera complained to reporters upon learning that he had been moved to second base after having playing only shortstop during his time with the Mets. "I always want to be here," Cabrera told Puma. "This is a great team. In that moment when I said that, I wasn't saying I want to get traded. I was just saying it didn't seem like they had a plan for me. ... If they've got a plan, they should tell me." In the five games since taking over at second for the injured Neil Walker, Cabrera is 10-for-21 with a home run, two RBI and he has scored five times. Continue to Article

It's the little things that kill a season, and the seventh inning last night felt like a microcosm of what is killing this team in 2017. I know, I know, it's the injuries too, but then it's the little things... For instance, Travis d'Arnaud tied last night's game with a home run in the top of the seventh inning. Neil Ramirez then entered in relief for the Mets and began the bottom of the inning by walking Miami's leadoff batter, J.T. Realmuto. JT Riddle then followed with a single to give the Marlins runners on first and third with no one out. In relief of Ramirez, Jerry Blevins was called on to face pinch hitter Ichiro Suzuki, who slapped a single on the ground to left field. Dee Gordon moved Continue to Article

Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow has a habit of making a big splash in his baseball debuts, and the newest St. Lucie Met delivered again on Wednesday. Playing in his first game for Advanced-A St. Lucie after being promoted Sunday from Columbia, Tebow homered in the second game of the Mets' doubleheader and collected three hits overall. With former Columbia teammate Michael Paez on first base in the bottom of the second inning of the nightcap, Tebow launched a towering ball just left of the batter's eye in center field on a 3-1 pitch from hard-throwing Palm Beach Cardinals right-hander Junior Fernandez.
