OT: 2024 NY Mets Season Thread

[Doctor Worm]

Glad the Heimlich worked today !

Need to do another Heimlich tomorrow to puke out the demons in Atlanta !


Should the Mets have to use both Severino and Megill tomorrow and do make the playoffs - who starts game 1 of wild card round?

That is a very good question. There are three options:

1) Start Manaea on three days rest - which I don't know he has ever done before.

2) Add a Syracuse pitcher to the wild card roster and give him the start. My understanding is that after the AAA season ended last Sunday, the Mets sent a few pitchers to the Port St Lucie complex to keep working out, just in case.

3) Make it a bullpen game - assuming that after tomorrow's DH, they have any bullpen left.

They pitch Sale in game 2. They hope to win game 1 without him and then rest him until the playoffs. We don't have a dominant ace so it doesn't matter if Severino starts game 1.

If Sproat is available , I wonder whether that’s too much of an ask.

If so, I actually feel it gives the Mets an advantage given both the Padres or Brewers have never seen him.

Shame Senga and or Scott or even Blackburn are not available.

Yeah Sale would be g2 only (if they lose) imho

 

[FrankZ]

This would be smart 😎

Braves are pitching Schwellenbach in game 1. They will pitch Sale in game 2 only if they lose game 1. This is not conjecture. It's the pronouncement they've made.

I THINK (could be wrong) that the call up would have to be somebody on the 40 man, which Sproat is not.

I believe there is an exception such that you can call up a non-40 man roster player if you are replacing an injured player. Maybe Ottavino comes up with an injury all of a sudden.

Mendoza has not announced who will start Game 1 tomorrow. Obviously it will be either Severino or Megill.

That means the
mets won't face sale tomorrow unless they've already clinched. So in the end, the raiouts led to a situation where the Mets won't face Sale in a game that really matters...to them. I think that is a win in itself

Or Fried… I believe they were originally scheduled to face both of them

Andy Martino is reporting that it will be Megill in Game 1.

If the Mets split tomorrow, then they are the 6 seed and return to Milwaukee, where they will play at 5:30 Eastern time on Tuesday.

If the Mets sweep tomorrow, then they are the 5 seed and go to San Diego, where they will play at 8:30 Eastern time on Tuesday.

If the Mets get swept tomorrow, then @Tango Two will immediately open the off-season thread, and we shall speak of 2024 no further!

If they get swept tomorrow I’m going to be so so so bummed.
If there’s any team it can happen against, It’s the Braves.

We are not getting swept!

The Heimlich once again will be performed in Atlanta to ensure a win in one of the games !

Yes, I sincerely prefer to win the first game tomorrow to ease stress and anxiety etc throughout the day !

Let’s Go Mets !
