Look at their lineup, they all have injury history.

Are we better, with Eaton, Murphy, Zimmerman, Harper, Rendon.

If both the Mets and Nats starting staffs are healthy, which one do you want? Looking for an objective answer, unfiltered by red, white and blue shades.

I'm not sure Syndegaard and DeGrom are better than Scherzer and Strasburg. The difference is in the 3-4-5 and depth. What is a healthy Harvey now? If it is pre-2016 Harvey-level Harvey, yes that is a huge advantage for the Mets. If it is somebody who has lost 3 MPH on his fastball and reliant on a league-average slider, then I'm not so sure he's much better than Gio. Matz and Wheeler v. Roark and mystery meat? That's the Mets advantage.

Good point about Harvey, he could be completely healthy; the damage is done.

Some guys lose a few MPH and learn how to really pitch. He's not there yet.

We have played literally 8% of the season, there is still 92% left. if a 6-6 stretch happens in July up by 6 games you hardly notice.

Oh they would notice. They would notice.

The Nats have a Starting rotation, a better overall bullpen, and a better deeper lineup and bench than the Mets do right now.

The Mets are hot. The Nats are not. The Mets will cool off. Every team will go 6-6 in 12 games.

Harvey per 2016 is not the Harvey now. Hasn't been in years. Will he ever get back there? Will the Nats ever hot. IDK to the first, yes to the second.

Cabrera is playing on a bad hammy now and Cespedes is always one bad run away from popping a hammy.

Eaton is on the DL and Zim is always one play away from a 60 day DL trip himself...Advantage?

I guess it depends on how you view their backups. Adams and Goodwin v. Nimmo and [I am not sure]?

DPMOmaha · « **Reply #108 on:** April 12, 2018, 05:30:21 pm »

Everybody is on play away from the DL.

Yes to the Nats because Zimm and Eaton aren’t the best hitters in the lineup. It proven the Nats can win without them.

Refugees. Freakin hysterical. That should become a permanent moniker for them.

for them yes. Cespedes is a MVP type player. they dont have the lineup depth. their back ups are trash.

Mets' catcher Plawecki has a broken hand, maybe we can trade them Wieters? For now, Jose Lobaton is #1.

Miguel Montero probably hasn’t unpacked yet!

I believe that their depth is key.They have Lugo and Gsellman in the 'pen and can easily step in as a 4 & 5.We don't have a true # 5 and our 6-7 is Hellboy, Jackson and Fedde
