OT: Official 2022 NY Mets Season And Post Season Thread

[FrankZ]

This was a short clip but the action went on for a while because Stearns was yanking Gullickson around and wouldn't let him go even as the brawl escalated around him. I also remember him yelling at him at the same time.

I remember that well.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

I also remember big Dave Parker plowing into Stearns on a play at the plate. Stearns held onto the ball, Parker was out and then Stearns got up and spiked the ball into the ground and sprinted to the dugout. I think Parker wound up with a fractured cheekbone on the play.

RIP John Stearns. A lone bright spot in some dark years for the Mets.

All true. Stearns was a full-on Bad Dude. Former defensive back at Colorado, he even had an incident and (near?) fight with Expo Gary Carter who used his elbow when trying to knock Stearns over at the plate. I think Steans held onto that one too. Stearns was afraid of nothing.

Does Escobar play leftfield or 3rd base?

 

[MadRU]

 

[RuBird]

🎺

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Damn. Game getting away from the Phiilies late. Went from 2-1 up bottom 8 to now 2-5 down still in the 8th.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Knew I hated the Philthies for a reason.

 

[Zak57]

Very nice win. Great job by Walker and Diaz!!

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Escobar 💣
3-0 Mets !!

 

[Zak57]

Peterson better out of the pen so far today.

 

[Zak57]

Another win.

 

[RuBird]

 

[Knight Shift]

Can we get a little help from the Phils?

Phillies in collusion with the Braves.

Darn Braves

Nope- F-ing Cubs

Any word on Marte and when he will possibly return? I read recently he’s still experiencing pain with his finger. Hope he returns shortly.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Marte's return is not imminent.

Thanks. Ugh 😩. We need him badly for the stretch run and playoffs.

Phillies in collusion with the Braves.

Paid for by Hillary. 🤣

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Paid for by Hillary. 🤣

I dont get it

 

[RUfinally2008]

I dont get it

I guess the "collusion" word triggered my thoughts, sorry if you didn't follow.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Benches empty

Alonso hit by pitch

mcneil said to Pete we f-in need you as he tried to calm him down

 

[shields]

good for the Mets. Enough already.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Wasn’t watching game. But I can tell there was bad blood at last nights game. McNeil was hit twice by the same pitcher and you can’t tell me otherwise that 2nd HBP wasn’t intentional. Plus don’t forget Marte HBP was against Pirates. Most importantly is Pete ok?

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Glad it got Alonso on his arm pad and not the hand or wrist. If the Mets should have a comfortable lead late some retribution for all of the HBP wouldnt surprise me. Remember this is the team that hit Marte also. Just can't afford to do it now with the warnings given.

Of course we have missed out on numerous chances to open the game up.

 

[nutfromSEC117]

0 last 19 with bases loaded
Pete did get rbi on a FC

 

[MadRU]

6th inning Jake

 

[shields]

Should have been 5-0. Bases loaded did nothing.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

After the Phillies tied the Braves 1-1 the Phiilies changed relievers even though the previous one had faced only 1 batter, having struck out Austin Riley with 2 men on. The new pitcher then surrendered the go-ahead home run right away.

 

[FrankZ]

🤦‍♂️

 

[RUforJERSEY]

This is the kind of game we've lost far too often in September. When we've failed repeatedly with RISP. But we absolutely need to get this win with the Phillies lying down like dogs and the Braves hosting the Nats next(sweep) while we have to go on the road to Milwaukee who is playing well of late.
