Looking at the 13 this way:

Strap in and Double Down:	13-0 12-1 11-2 10-3 9-4 8-5
Ambiguous Outcome Calling for the Wisest of leadership	7-6 6-7
Bail Out, Dump Contracts, Turn Lineup Over, Possibly Swap Managers:	5-8 4-9 3-10 2-11 1-12 0-13

That's just speculation of course. I suppose the Mets would probably keep grinding it out for a few weeks even if there was a weak but not disastrous four-win showing or so, but I suspect he machinery would be shifting toward change behind the scenes.

Anyhow, if 8-5 was what the team needed to re-launch the season, that number is now 7-5. Thanks, Wheeler.

If you accept that 8-5 was the minimum acceptable outcome, well, 5-4 over the next nine will get them there.

I'd really like 6-3, but I'll accept the 5-4 as long as at least two of the five are against the Braves.

Taking four of the next seven gets them to the Independence Day Pole at 8-5. Can Lagares help make this happen?

Obi Juan Lagares is our only hope.

Gotta sweep to hit the pole strongly.
