You're essentially trading Duda's bat for Plawecki's, which is not a upgrade. Duda may be in a slump but he can become torrid at any moment (see July). Longterm this may work to ease the wear and tear on injury prone Travis. But short term, no.
Dude still has a lot of room for improvement and he has tremendous power. I could see him hitting 35-40 homeruns , 100 rbis and .270 average when he learns to be consistently disciplined and go the other way, where he still has home run power. I like Plawecki and of course D'Arnaud, but having two catchers is a nice problem to have, especially since D'Arnaud gets banged up a lot.
I like Duda but he's just too inconsistent for me. Remember when we had the worst offense in baseball back in may/June. He was part of the problem. I think his eventual cost will be more than his worth down the line. But the Mets definitely got it right when they kept Duda over Ike Davis.
today is a clunker.
fire collins. lol
It might be time for Degrom to be skipped in the rotation. Tough outing. Six runs and ten hits in five innings.

Thank God we don't have to play the Marlins in the playoffs. We always seem to struggle with the Fish.
Nationals lost to the Marlins. Big series with Yankees coming up.
Nationals lost to the Marlins. Big series with Yankees coming up.
That's certainly good news.
With what could have been a 7 game lead, I think the Nationals only hope is to look at that lead as 3 games less, and hope for a season ending sweep of the Mets. That gives them a couple of week to cut the lead to 3 games. The Yankees would be their best hope to help them. Going into this weekend, a 7 game lead could conceivably been cut to 4 if the Yankees and Nats both sweep. So, the Nats losing tonight provides a very important swing of one game to an 8 game lead.

for some reason I think we only win 1 vs the yanks

The epitome of good vs evil
The people who figure out this sort of thing say at this point the Mets have a 99% chance to make the playoffs. Than why am I still a little nervous? Guess it's like saying you have a 99% chance of surviving an operation, and when it's you or a loved one you are still probably going to be a little nervous or should I say more than a little.
