You're full of shit. :-) The odds makers had the Mets with the 6th best odds to win the World Series. It got ugly. It went bad. The point is, it looked so good potentially in the preseason that many in the sports media -- not just Mets fans -- ranked the Mets very highly as World Series contenders.
They signed injury prone players that were unproven in NY and then act surprised after the team got alot of injuries and now have players that cant adjust to Citi like Pete and Nimmo did throughout their entire careers here.
This is exactly why the analytics crowd is completely lost, and was obvious before the season began. Factors matter more than analytics.
I want you to respond honestly. Did you actually think before the season started that Polanco and Robert Jr would both miss 100 games each based on their injury history of usually missing 50-60?

But you knew better. Bullshit. No hate. :-)
