no chance they play today or tomorrow. Braves won't play Friday either and will have to play dhs Saturday and Monday.LINDY BACK
Mets 2024 Season
- Thread starter BrooklynRed
- Start date
It is still exciting that Lindor would have gone tonight if the game happened
Hoping that a likely extra two days rest helps him heal up even more. We need all hands on deck!
They should get out of ATL asap.
I think they have to. I’d imagine they are trying to get out tonight.
Games are 1p.m. Straight DH Monday.
Just read from Mike Puma they are planning to leave tomorrow morning. Something tells me they won’t get out until Friday morning. Just a guess.
Really low class of ATL to get us stuck here
apparently league offered Atlanta move one game to past Monday and a doubleheader on yesterday but they said no as they have an overworked pitching staff. Mets screwed again

Major gamesmanship by Atlanta, hope it bites them below the equator.
Brewers on the verge of having nothing to play for this weekend. If the Dodgers win tonight and the Brewers lose tomorrow (or LA and Philly win tomorrow) then they take the weekend off!

So Sunday's is 3:10, say a 2 1/2 if luck, so could be over by 5:40.
Shower, press conf, and whatever. Maybe get a 8:30 flight to Atlanta, team gets to the hotel at mid, 1am?
Wake up early morning to leave the hotel, get workouts in, before a 1:10 game and another at 4:40.
If they make the playoff, then they go from the game back to the air port to fly somewhere else.
That's just brutal.
Just checked Atlanta final 3, they're home vs. KC., yep they did the mets no favors.

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

Really? Maybe in terms of the upcoming Wild Card Series, but figure that the Braves will go with Sale and Fried this weekend, instead of the last two game against the Mets.
The plus side is we should have a healthier Lindor.

Honestly, I think this whole situation favors us more than the Braves. We miss their 2 best starters after they easily took the 1st game. We’re now playing a team that doesn’t want any of the regulars get hurt while the Atlanta-area gets battered by a strong storm, possibly missing more games playing against a team that still has a lot to play for.
I mean, the D-Backs could just lose the series to the Padres anyway and make Monday not matter. We were clearly up against the ropes with Sale and Fried coming up and now that whole scenario is poof. I’d be pissed if I was a D-Backs fan

Either way, that's still brutal, stop being dramatic.

It doesn’t matter what we think, it matters what the team thinks. I figured that out once I had kids. I hope their mindset is that. The incentive now is not only to make playoffs, but to avoid a trip back to Atlanta.
Considering how the Braves have been playing, this could work in our favor.

Can that be avoided? The way I read it unless we have a 3 game lead, those 2 games will be played Monday. With a one game lead, Mets control their own destiny. It will be very hard to push the lead to 3 games
