According to Bill James back in the 1980s, a strong September was a positive indicator for next year's performance.
Of course, the 1980s were four decades back (old! so old! Also, FFS, Mets!) and I haven't tracked the data since then. But it feels logical, so good news coming, perhaps?
Also, perhaps Baez will visit the Cespedes Ranch in the offseason and you'll be spared another OPS+ 60 season. I don't mean to be cruel, but I imagine it's been a while since a regular player put up stats like those.
