Give us another day...
Yes, tonight is the last stand, as opposed to last night's last stand. Maybe we'll be so fortunate as to have another last stand tomorrow night.
Tonight's lineup against Mad Max. Considering no Conforto, it isn't half bad.
Nimmo CF
McNeil RF
Davis DH
Smith LF
Cano 2B
Alonso 1B
Gimenez SS
Guillorme 3B
Ramos C
-----------------
Porcello P
Dammit, just realized...that is because we have sucked so much. lolGive us another day...
Amazing(pun intended) we have our big star out of the lineup and it is still does not have an automatic out in it and is better than any lineup we have had in 20 years. lol
The Yankees knew what they needed to do to get in this year and did it. They could have pushed guys back sooner if need be. Mets couldn’t do it.Question for the 3 Amigos...This new playoff format still has me a bit confused...at this point under last year's format, would the Yanks be in the 1 game playoff or on the outside by a game at this point?
Hmmm- first half of the season, Yankees sure thought they were running away with it...started to say, anything we can do to hand on with the losing streak last a couple of weeks ago, last week during the winning streak, no worries, making a strong playoff run and now, we knew what we had to do to just get in...The Yankees knew what they needed to do to get in this year and did it. They could have pushed guys back sooner if need be. Mets couldn’t do it.
Enjoy playoff baseball next week. It’s going to be great with 16 teams and games all day.
You put your trust in the Yankees, you get what you deserve. Marlins win in 10 to clinch a playoff berth and pretty much close out the Mets. Not sure if it's mathematically over, but it's closePhillies lose, which helps. Going into tonight Mets needed nine things to happen (three Met wins, three Phillie losses, three Marlin losses). Now they only need eight things to happen.
Marlins and Yankees going into extras. Is it possible to root for the Yankees and still retain one's dignity?
Those terrific Yankees. LOL. 9-9 against the NL East. Thanks for nothing.You put your trust in the Yankees, you get what you deserve. Marlins win in 10 to clinch a playoff berth and pretty much close out the Mets. Not sure if it's mathematically over, but it's close
Just bumping this post.Seeds 5 -8 Available (7 Teams):
Cards. 28-26. Four games with Brewers
Reds. 29-28. Three games with Minnesota.
Marlins. 29-28. Three games with Yankmees.
Giants lose. 28-28. Four games with the Padres.
Phillies. 28-29. Three games with Tampa Bay.
Brewers. 27-29. Four games with Cards.
Mets. 26-31. Three games with Washington
The first tiebreaker is head-to-head record (if applicable), and the next is intradivisional record. If the teams are still tied, the next tiebreaker is the teams’ record in their final 20 division games (plus one until the tie is broken).
Improbable, but possible scenario:
Mets need to win all three, ending 29-31. Porcello pitches tonight. Then deGrom, Lugo.
Cards win out, or go 3-1 against Brewers. Mets pass Brewers, Brewers end 27 or 28 wins.
Phillies must lose all three to Tampa Bay. Can't rely on tie and head to head record against Phils.
Giants lost all four to Padres, end up 28-32.
If there is a tie (excluding Phillies), Mets are in if:
Mets intradivisional record is 17-20; win all three, intradivisional record ends at 20-20.
Brewers intradivisional record is 17-19. If Brewers win two, Mets still pass Brewers.
Giants intradivisional record is 17-19. If Giants lose two, Mets pass Brewers.
Phillies still need to lose all three.
Probably screwed something up in that analysis- check my work, but:
I did not have the Marlins losing all three as part of my analysis. That only would have helped if the Mets were to take 2nd place in the NL East, correct? My scenarios above still are valid? Padres currently up on Giants. Brewers won.You put your trust in the Yankees, you get what you deserve. Marlins win in 10 to clinch a playoff berth and pretty much close out the Mets. Not sure if it's mathematically over, but it's close
Who would you have put in? Everyone in the Mets pen is a risk. Not a lot of good options.Put castro in in the 6th, just brilliant Luis. I knew they would lose. And Davis had a bad year.
That's a big strech, IMO. But I have no problems dealing Ramos. No bonus points for the HR, though?With the playoff now officially done, can the Mets give Ramos the perp walk? Now I'm going to pick at Ramos for the hell of it. On the play Dom got hurt, I thought the pitch called by Ramos made it possible. The hitter is down 1-2 in the count and he can't hit the slide down and in if his life depended on it. Instead of calling it again, Ramos calls for a fastball away. It's not the first time Ramos has made a bad call. If they can't hit it, stay with it.
Alright, I'm done.
I doubt the Mets deal Ramos. More likely they just decline his option, give him his million dollar parachute, and move on to Realmuto. Or maybe Nido or Sanchez. I get them confused.That's a big strech, IMO. But I have no problems dealing Ramos. No bonus points for the HR, though?
he won't be under contract next yearThat's a big strech, IMO. But I have no problems dealing Ramos. No bonus points for the HR, though?
Good. I don't follow player contracts. I try to pay attention to what posters say here. Too much to keep track of. This team was not ready for the playoffs anyway.he won't be under contract next year
Contracts, you say? Below I have pasted an analysis I posted earlier this week.Good. I don't follow player contracts. I try to pay attention to what posters say here. Too much to keep track of. This team was not ready for the playoffs anyway.
