After last night's win, really need to take 2 of 3 against the O's before the tough road trip coming up.
OT: 2024 NY Mets Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
He's 100% a millionaire and he was one at 16. I really have no idea what any of this means as towards excitable though.
Considering the slump he had been in, he was probably relieved and overcome with the emotion of the moment. He's young, and he's human. It's also a game. Have some fun!
Good thing none of the players coming out of the dugout to celebrate touched him. He would have been called out as a result.
I got a chuckle out of I believe Gary asking whether to give Alvarez the green light on 3-0 and either Ron, Keith or both emphatically said no.
Given how cold Alvarez had been, I agree that the take sign was in order. Had he popped up, and if the Mets had eventually lost, Mendoza would have been second guessed on this board and elsewhere.
I don't think either one of them walked it back either, but IIRC, Ron was chuckling, probably at himself.
Looks like he touched home plate too.
I get the walk-off celebrations but enough with ripping off the guy's jersey. Excessive, imo.
Alonso has always been really into that. I don't like it either.
If hypothetically he had missed the plate, and if the ump had managed to see it between the mass of bodies, it would have been an appeal play. I doubt anyone on the Orioles was paying attention. The players were all leaving the field. Once they do, the umps will leave the field and that is that. If they try to appeal at that point (perhaps because they saw a TV replay), it's too late.
has been awful last 3 starts
And not off to the best start tonight
James F-in McCann

Just a bad game all the way around with the exception of the bottom of the 8th. Now 3 back in the loss column with only 36 to play and headed on a difficult road trip
He was okay last year, but has been a disaster this year. I don't get how Mendoza gives a long, long leash to screw up, but Peterson is pulled at the first sign of a threat.
Missed most of the game. The Athletic hammered the Mets for their horrific fielding last night. Pissing all over Quintana, but what about the fielding?
"Both were costly errors, but the boof from Brandon Nimmo on a routine flyball unleashed a display of errors seen more at the Little League level than here. Two runs scored and the game was put away.
The Mets are 2 1/2 games out of the playoff picture. Losing games like that won’t help."

After seeing these lowlights, I'm really glad I had plans last night and missed the entire thing.Missed most of the game. The Athletic hammered the Mets for their horrific fielding last night. Pissing all over Quintana, but what about the fielding?

Who's on home?
They split these first two against the Os. They need to go 4-3 in these next 7 tough games if they want to be taken seriously as a playoff team. Winning a home game today would be fairly important.
I'm starting to prepare for the worst for them- to wind up 1 or 2 games short of the last wild card spot. Somewhere above @Doctor Worm said it well, they are at best an 87ish (or was it 85) win team. They have flaws, and they win in spurts. It's been season that has been fun at times and frustrating at others.
The fact that the Braves are so badly ravaged by injuries, combined with nobody else being good enough to get a stranglehold on that last wild card, gives me hope. But unless they had Senga to go with Peterson, they would get hammered in the playoffs.
To me its more of a worry that the Braves have been relegated to picking guys up off the street to put a lineup together. Yet even while playing the schedule we have this month before the O's we still haven't been able to overtake them and have actually now lost ground.
At work so not seeing the game. But he tried to go 1st to 3rd on a single to left? Who the hell does he think he is?
ROBOT umps please
From a strike em out throw him out double play to now loaded and no out

2 walkoff HR's to take 2 of 3 from one of the best teams in baseball! Heck yeah!!
He definitely stepped on home, lol!
Man, they needed this game in the worst way. Now split the next 6 and go on a tear in September.

Is Winker no longer a stinker?
His swing-did he tinker?
Did he hit a sinker?
Or was it a splinker?
Will Mets fans be drinkers of the Winker Kool-Aid?
Even though Pete and McNeil have had a down year- I still hope we can lock Pete up- I kind of like the idea of Alvarez, Pete, McNeil, Lindor, Vientos for a few years
