Marlins Offense Comes Up Big Versus Strasburg, Nationals; Win 4th in a Row 8-0

Not really trying to put him down. He is what he is, and his lack of walks is a hole in his game. I was just responding to the batting 8th thing.

I know bb, I was just trying to add to the discussion. Not trying to argue with anyone, since tj isn't around.

Have people (not mets fans) started thinking the mets are a serious playoff contender yet?

A playoff contender? Yes. A team that is going to play .700 ball for the rest of the season? Absolutely not. I think they are ultimately the third best team in the division behind Washington and us. I'm still not a fan of their offense, and while they are missing Wheeler for the entire year, we will be getting Fernandez and Alvarez (hopefully) back.
