OT: 2024 NY Mets Season Thread

[BigEastPhil]

Great win today !

2 up with 7 to go !

Who are the 3 pitchers we re facing in Atlanta? I’m sure Sale and Fried.

Lindor not playing tomorrow.

Earliest is Tuesday for Lindor to possibly play for which I am still unfortunately skeptical he ll be able to go.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Not surprised this thread would be quieter when it is up against Rutgers football. I didn't even think of the Mets until the middle of the 2nd half today.

Next two games are TOUGH matchups going against Wheeler and Sale. The pressure is on, even with a two game edge. It would be great if the Marlins could steal another one against the Braves tomorrow.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Was at game with three Phillies fans: my sister, my niece, and her husband. Playoff atmosphere for sure.

So, we are assured of being no worse than +1 going into the Braves series. However, because of the tiebreaker, the difference between +1 and +2 is huge. If we're only +1, and go 1-2 against Atlanta, we relinquish control of our destiny going into the final weekend. If we're +2 and go 1-2, we don't.

If we can somehow beat Philly with Wheeler tomorrow, it would be very, very helpful!

 

[nutfromSEC117]

I’ll go for an old school Zack wheeler 33 pitch first inning.

 

[FrankZ]

I was watching both closely, but limited my Mets posts until after the game out of respect for the forum we’re on.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Vientos went from looking like an MVP to totally lost in 10 days.

He went for the rare platinum sombrero today.

 

[Doctor Worm]

ICYMI - Kodai Senga pitched a rehab inning at Syracuse tonight. 15 pitches, no runs, no hits, one walk, two strikeouts. Topped out at 95.

 

[Rutgers NJ]

Funny how thread is empty when Mets win, but it is a long shit fest when they lose.

You really seem to dislike Mets fans in general.

 

[Knight Shift]

Oh crap. Game on ESPN tonight. Can't stand their announcing team, especially the guy with the Bert from Ernie and Bert voice. Will probably just listen to the radio.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Brett Baty starting for Syracuse in their finale today, playing 2B. He remains a postseason option, if there is one.

 

[MadRU]

Senga with tricep tightness, his regular season is over.

 

[Knight Shift]

Braves win. Pressure is on.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Marlins battled them. Thankful for them getting even one. Let's Go Mets. We've beaten top pitchers before this season.

 

[Mr Magoo]

I hope the Brewers lay down for the Mets like they did vs. the Diamondbacks. Not even competitive.

 

[Knight Shift]

No Kodai Senga for regular season.

Senga won't return for Mets in regular season

Mets pitcher Kodai Senga felt tightness in his right triceps during a minor league rehab outing and won't pitch during the regular season.

[nutfromSEC117]

Brewers score 6 runs in 6-7-8th and win 10-9 vs D backs

 

[Mr Magoo]

I hope the Brewers lay down for the Mets like they did vs. the Diamondbacks. Not even competitive.

Hopefully this statement turned it around as the Brewers rallied for a 10-9 win after being down 8-0

 

[MadRU]

White Sox 120 losses, still 6 games left.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Well, about 300 pitches from Megill but only one run in the 1st

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Make no mistake this is a playoff game. Tylor has settled in but his pitch count will probably prevent him from being able to go very deep in this one.

[nutfromSEC117]

Might have to sit JD the rest of the year

0-32 💩💩.

He will play because Braves are throwing sale and Freid

 

[Knight Shift]

Not a complaint but a question. Does Diaz ever look back the runner or even think about him?

Bring on the guy with the long hair. Forget his name. Diaz crumbling.

OK, I was wrong. I'll shut up now, after a question.

If Mets take 2 from Braves (getting ahead of myself), even if the Mets lose all 3 against Brewers, they are in over the Braves, correct?

 

[FrankZ]

🎺

 

[BigEastPhil]

I’ve aged about 20 years in the past few days. Lol.

And for those who wanted to settle for a split …..🤷‍♂️ 😂.

Yes

Don’t think so. Mets magic number is now 5.

If they take 2 in Atlanta - Mets magic number would be 1 heading into Milwaukee.

Oh wait. May be wrong. We d have tiebreaker over Atlanta i believe come to think of it.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Mets have tie breaker if they win 2

Would be up 3 with 3 to play

 

[nutfromSEC117]

With the 2022 expansion of the postseason field from 10 teams to 12 teams, tiebreaker games will no longer be used to resolve ties in the standings at the conclusion of the regular season. That means no more “Game 163.”
Instead, ties will be broken by math, with specific outcomes from the regular season determining final standing or seeding. This change was made so that the postseason can begin promptly after the conclusion of the regular season and that division winners with a bye during the Wild Card Series round will not be forced to sit idle longer than is fair or necessary.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Don’t think so. Mets magic number is now 5.

If they take 2 in Atlanta - Mets magic number would be 1.

You are forgetting the tiebreaker.

If Mets take the series, they take the tiebreaker. Up 3 with 3 to go. Over and out.

If Mets take just 1, then they are 1 up, but the Braves would then have the tiebreaker. Mets would still be in the driver's seat, but with no margin for error.

If Mets get swept again, no bueno. I include this merely for the sake of completeness.

I would add that Plan B is still in play, as the Mets are tied with the D-Backs and own the tiebreaker. Mets currently in the #2 wild card slot.

Yep. Thanks.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Gotta beat the demons in Atlanta and at Atlanta !

Nothing would make more happy than celebrating in Atlanta the wild card clincher !

 

[yesrutgers01]

3 out of 4 against Phillies. Just no way to be upset tonight.
And since being 11 under 500, do we still have the best record in baseball since then?
We make the playoffs and our team is super dangerous. Starting pitching(who would have thought) timely hitting.

 

[RAHWAYBOB]

I am so glad I decided to go to the game!

 

[Rutgers NJ]

White Sox 120 losses, still 6 games left.

Is kbee aware?😎

 

[Doctor Worm]

What are the chances of a closer protecting a one run lead, while giving up FIVE stolen bases in two innings?

Not a recommended long term strategy for success, but tonight it worked out.

It does help when you can k hitters and when the actual base at 3b during the attempted steal went our way. 😂
