Fun ride this week with the Mets. Their ability to string hits together to create big innings has been very impressive. To do it late in the game makes it even more noteworthy. Nice work by the bullpen which was critical given the Senga strategy. Maton has been a bit of a roller coaster but he got out of the inning without allowing a run. Nice that Mendoza shows faith in his guys. Iglesias AB when he fouled about 10 ptiches is the epitome of what this team is about right now. Same can be said about his hustle play in Milwaukee with his head first slide into 1B. .

All righties and Nimmo vs Sanchez
JD will DH

 

[FrankZ]

Time to switch to Bader in CF. That AB looked good.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Lindor
Vientos
Nimmo
Alonso
OMG
Marte
JD
Bader/Taylor
Alvarez

Not to shabby vs a LHP

You can really do any combo 5 thru 9

Posted that when lineup was issued before game started.

Bader is a better hitter / better fielder and has more pop in his bat !

 

[Plum Street]

Pitching by committee in the first game of a 7 game series is recipe to be down 0-1.

Pitching by committee in general, against the number 1 starter of any team anytime will get you beat

Well it didn’t and it’s not a 7 game series

I know. Even more apparent now.

 

[gmay8]

Another awesome late inning effort tonight. This team has a flair for the dramatic

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Hoo boy, the pressure will be high on Sanchez tomorrow to avoid 0-2 at home. Such a massive win today against their ace. We definitely want two of the next three to avoid the possible return to face and Philly against Wheeler.

 

[Plum Street]

Mets needed that and need to finish Philly off in queens .
Going back to philly against wheeeler in game 5 is not ideal

 

[Rutgers NJ]

Hoo boy, the pressure will be high on Sanchez tomorrow to avoid 0-2 at home. Such a massive win today against their ace. We definitely want two of the next three to avoid the possible return to face and Philly against Wheeler.

And to do it as a "bullpen" game, crazy good.

 

[RU-05]

This win was so much our MO late in this season. Can't hit all game, then huge hits late to win it.

Uncanny at this point.

Would Phillies pitch Wheeler in game 4 if down 2-1? He’d be on 3 days rest.

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Pressure is all on the Phillies now. If I were Mendoza I wouldn’t have any patience with Severino - he gives up three runs in the first you go to Megil and let our guys do their thing. To go into NY needing only one of the next three games would be huge

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Score first and triple the pressure

Question …….how the F—K does a POS ranked 73rd get home plate in a playoff game ????????

 

[FrankZ]

Almost lost it with the last 2 balls he called on Schwarber (especially the last one). Thankfully he popped out.

The bar has been raised for umps, who are so much better than they used to be at calling balls and strikes due to constantly being evaluated under the electronic system. And this game stood out to me as a particularly weak game behind the plate.

There are 4 series with 6 umps each. It would make sense to reward your top 24 rated umpires. Otherwise you are rewarding poor performance.

Love the win but it would have been nice to knock him around.

25 horrendous putrid at bats with an historic magical postseason saving HR mixed in.

I'll take it, wouldn't you? As opposed to that regular season monster that goes limp come playoff time? 😎

 

[MadRU]

Vientos has really proven me wrong.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Motivational speaker I am !!!

Pete 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

 

[RU-05]

"This is a huge opportunity for Philly"

What is this announcer talking about?

 

[RU-05]

I think the point was, he's only had one hit, a huge one, this postseason, and then a bunch of awful moments otherwise.

At least now he has 2 hits. Both big. Hopefully he can build on this momentum.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Severino looked to be getting a little too overconfident.

 

[newell138]

"This is a huge opportunity for Philly"

What is this announcer talking about?

He was referring to changing the momentum but yea he seems basic. Things like Philly needs to score here is kind of a no brainer

 

[nutfromSEC117]

You couldn’t throw it any more perfectly down the middle to Harper. Just a horrible head scratching pitch selection

 

[Mr Magoo]

Nimmo taking advantage of the Little League field. I hate baseball in this bandbox but I’ll take it.

 

[yesrutgers01]

The best thing ever is for an offense to give a response

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Where the F was Lindor playing

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Buckle up folks. Win or lose, there are some anxious moments coming up.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

When he misses with his fastball early Diaz gives up and throws all sliders

 

[nutfromSEC117]

He can hit
His defense is brutal

 

[RUforJERSEY]

I didnt get the pitch around to Harper. Even if he hits the ball to Camden its only tied. And Diaz has been mostly sucessful against him.
