Let's go back to August of 2017. We are all pretty bummed about what we just saw. Suddenly, KC pulls up in his Delorean and says: "Hey guys, I know it sucks now, but just wanted to let you know that he's only going to miss 5 games. And he probably didn't even need to miss them, it's just that Nimmo's been lighting the world on fire and we wanted to get him some consistent looks. Anyway, Conforto returns in game 6, the first game against the Nats. He hits a 2 run tiebreaking HR off Strassburg, and the Mets go on to win 8-2 and extend their first place lead." Suddenly, not so bad right?
