We have like 3 of the top 15 NL position players in WAR

that says a lot

[Steve Rogers]

Mets Park is nearly empty

Only 23,000 attended, on a Sunday, after two shutouts?

Two teams going nowhere. Not a shock.

We have like 3 of the top 15 NL position players in WAR

+73 run differential

Of the teams with at least that, or more, the Nationals and the Dodgers are the only teams that don't currently have a playoff spot.

Maybe it's a metatarsal thing.   

You called it. Torn Lisfranc ligament, which is the ligaments underneath the metatarsal bones.  This is a fairly serious injury and almost certainly has ended his season
