Looks like bad news from what I've read elsewhere. <br /><br />"The big news off the field was not positive as the St. Lucie Mets placed starting pitcher Marcos Molina back on the disabled list after two appearances with the same elbow soreness that put him on the shelf originally. Molina had a rough outing on Monday giving up five runs in 4 innings in what unfortunately could be his last start in awhile. Hope for the best, but there were whispers of TJS the first time and it sounds like he was unable to pitch through whatever the Mets saw in the initial prognosis."<br /><br />Sounds like TJS is in his future and not only that, we've wasted 4 months of him trying to rehab, high means 2017 is his return date if we're lucky. Look how Luis Mateo's rehab has gone. Thankfully he's still very young but not a good sign.

Which is there big advantage. If its DeGrom v Kershaw and Harvey v Grienke there is really no advantage for either team as there would be against any other team in baseball. you are talking in WAR for pitchers (BR numbers) the 2 vs 3 and the 7 v 1, pitchers in the NL.<br /><br />im not sure any team in baseball wants to go against either of these teams in a short series.<br /><br />just looking at the minors for a second. whats Wally doing with playing time. and considering the glut of 4A outfielders, not really sure why the Mets promoted Nimmo, especially if they have to consider demoting Conforto.

It'...Off-topic and a little presumptuous but … <br /><br />It's fascinating/a little weird that even though the playoffs aren't a foregone conclusion yet our playoff opponent (were we to make them) is. <br /><br />It's likely to be the Dodgers with them having the home field, although I'd never completely rule out the Giants. How does everyone think we match up with either? If Dodgers, it does kind of neutralize our great big pitching advantage, no? <br /><br />Now because playoff baseball is such a distant memory … the NLDS is 5 games, right? Does that require 3 starters or 4? I heard them talking about this on WFAN and it was suggested Niese would start a game in the series. If four starters are needed, wouldn't Matz get the call?
