WTF with the Rangers, playing the Brewers. Down 3-2 in the 8th, first and second, one out, they call a double steal on 3 balls, 2 strikes, batter whiffs and thrown out at second.
 
True 8th inning. But a wins a win. Right now they are playing as well as anyone. The Rockies did this s few years ago with a late season blitz There have been others as well who got hot when it counted.I just hope they didn't start this rampage too soon.

On a 3-2 count it's not really a double steal. More like a hit and run. Onus is on the hitter to make contact if it's a strike.

Sending the runners on 3-2 is not unusual.
 
Noah settling down was the key to this game. Something of note...he seems to have finally figured out pitching and not just blowing guys away.Our guys keep pitching like this and we will scare any team out there in the playoffs.

Lugo may have given up the HR but he really has become a machine. Said a lot that they kept him in for a final inning and didnt go to Diaz

Been saying all year that Davis needs to be an every day player. Davis, Rosario, McNeil, Conforto, Alonso make a real nice core to this team. Gotta lock Conforto up this year along with Thor. Wish we could sign Wheeler but doubt we will.

Re your last point, Conforto and Syndergaard are still under team control for another two years. Will be interesting to see how aggressive the Mets will be.

Agree and Noah had a lot to say during deGrom's negotiations this year. Just need to be smart and do it while 2 years left, that at least gets us these guys for a little less then if we wait. I would love to know we had Noah, deGrom, Davis, Alonso, McNeil locked up for a while and then have to worry about Rosario if he keeps this up.
 
Tomorrow seems like the type of game that deGrom steps it up for...may be a little late for a push by him and the 2nd year of no support, but does he had a late season push that could put him back into the CY award again?
 
In other baseball news (with apologies to Warner Wolf)... If you had Baltimore and 20 runs tonight, YOU LOST! Houston 23 - Baltimore 2.

Welp due props to Guillorme - never saw that coming. JD Davis now clears the BVW off-season slate in my eyes for all but the unspeakable move.

Unspeakable move? Well, I'll say it. The Keon Broxton acquisition was an unmitigated disaster, but we've got to move on.

Unless he collapses down the stretch, Hyun-Jin Ryu would be the unanimous choice. He is having the year that deGrom had last year, except that Ryu has the W's to show for it. Also, Mad Max is having a Mad Max year as he always does. Mets are fortunate to miss him this weekend.

If deGrom steps it up, he'll get some votes, but probably not first place votes.

Just back from the game. What an atmosphere. Playoff feel atmosphere. Sellout crowd going nuts. Ya gotta believe! Once Noah settled down and even though down 2-0 and 3-2 late in the game, I still felt we’d rally. Winning and confidence is contagious!

All of a sudden, this team has a 2015 feeling

He is the top runner but I havent followed that close but saw that he and Max had been on the IL so not sure of the extent of their injury. See that Ryu is pitching today though. You mentioned the wins to show for it but it seems almost the opposite, he just doesn't have the losses the Met's always grace deGrom with. With Ryu, he should still have more than 11 wins(not his fault) - As for Sherzer, if he has a couple of bad starts and deGroms stays on a roll/Met's pass by Nats at same time, he could move into that 2nd spot. Regardless, so f-ing happy we locked this guy up

Yeah- that is when magic seems to be in the air, when you just never feel out of a game. Most years, we go down 2-0 or 3-0 early, you shut off the TV.
What is cool with this team, we are hitting bombs but we are also getting timely small hits as well. And coming from everyone.Can't name a player who hasnt had a big hit over the past week. ok- except for anyone in CF lol

BTW- need Alonso to have a big month...his sure fire ROY is not so sure fire anymore. Soroka and Tatis Jr are also having monster years. HR title would certainly help Alonso though
