Mets Collapse In Atlanta, Downward Dawg, Judge Heads To Texas To Sling More Homers

The New York Mets had an epic collapse to cede the NL East to the Atlanta Braves, much to the chagrin of (Downward) Dawg, and Aaron Judge heads to Texas to try and sling more homers to grab hold of the single-season record on the latest episode of Diamond Diehards. Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy got together to break it all down, figuring out the reasons the Mets could not handle the Braves for even a single game in Atlanta. It allowed the Braves to take complete control of the NL East, almost certainly giving the defending World Series champions a much easier road to repeating. The guys also scrutinized the way the Mets brought baseball's top prospect, Francisco Álvarez, into the mix, among other moves that backfired in Atlanta. Then there is Aaron Judge and the Yankees, who lost the same amount of games on their first-place division lead as the Mets but instead won the AL East. Will Judge get the homer record to himself in Texas? And how did the Yankees' August malaise actually set them up better for the postseason?
