Man this is a harsh reminder that something was wrong in Metville this year, your resim shows all the teams that made it but also shows the Mets, what did they do differently than in real life that made the difference.

Kind of just a good year from top to bottom, without too many injuries and no LOLMets foibles. de Grom wasn't quite as good as usual, and Pete Alonso took a step back, but they got great seasons from Syndergaard, McNeil, and (of all people) Luis Guillorme.

That is an alternate reality, injuries beset Stroman and Syndergaard for sure.. Diaz was not that good ... Luis Guilliorme is the next Justin Turner, he will end up somewhere and be a star... it happens every 10 years with the Mets, he has a great stick
