Mets 2024 Season

[logen]

Marte with a shot with RISP after a Brave error and has a very unaggressive ground out at bat.
Braves then draw first blood and Marte compounds the run by a ridiculous throw home a mile over the cut off man, letting the batter go to second. Mets have pretty clearly come out flat.
Down 3-0, a very uninspired first 3 innings.

Some things never change

 

[logen]

Down 5-0. Reading time, once again, the game, the moment, just seems too big for the Mets and just what the Braves were waiting for. Disappointing……but there’s always tomorrow. And if the Mets come back, I’ll be wrong again…….

Nerds have ruined baseball. Give me 1 logical explanation why Quintana was bounced from this start and you bump Severino to this start on short rest? It makes NO sense and reeks of desperation when Mets are the team ahead(you wouldn’t know it based off that decision).

I really don’t think Mendoza made this call, it was those mouth breathers behind their computers. Worst of all they say they entrust Peterson over Quintana for 2nd game. Don’t let Peterson’s ERA fool you, he is not very good. Guy has been a magician all year getting out of massive jams and will get slaughtered down there. FML should’ve known Mets were gonna Met!

Quintana has been lights out lately, I agree with you

this sucks but remember, an Arizona loss tonight could take at least some of the sting out of it. Don’t give up !!

ARI lost.

From a newsletter I read, "With a tiebreaker over the Diamondbacks already in hand, the Mets could simply win one time against the Braves and another time against Milwaukee, and the Diamondbacks would need to close out the season 3–1 to overtake the Mets."

Can't back into this. This IS our playoffs. You don't win you don't belong. Win tonight and take some pressure off

The Mets “big” players just haven’t shown up against the Braves. Where is Nimmo? Where’s Alonso? WTF we paying Marte for? The only guy who did anything was Vientos who has struggled a bit but he actually did something.

Ok. It’s one game. Two more cracks at the Apple. Of course the weather looks bleak so this is going to be an adventure. I am hearing that the Mets cannot or will not be able to leave Atlanta until Friday morning possibly for a Friday night game in Milwaukee. This could really fubar things up. The black clouds continue to follow us around.

With the way the weather situation is unfolding, I am fearful we could end up in a situation where we fit the game in today, and game 3 gets pushed to Monday. If that were to happen, many people have pointed out the Mets might have to go against Sale twice

I think 95% chance both tonight & tomorrow rained out.

Doubleheader Monday ?

I said 3 days ago if MLB had any smarts, they would have pulled Friday game forward & played doubleheader yesterday.

 

[dk423]

I have no idea why they think they can possibly play today. I'd expect a DH on Monday since MLB is still horribly run. If that's the case, we miss out on Chris Sale, and all become Giants fans tonight.

MLB could have overridden any desire of either team and forced different logistics for the games and did not.

Atlanta Braves just surpassed Eagles and Cowboys as most hated sports pro teams. What a load of garbage.

Just like MLB. Instead of taking control of a tough situation for everyone …they did what they always do…stick their heads up their ass and did nothing. Now here we are.
