Mets 2024 Season

Beasts of the East said:
Considering how the Braves have been playing, this could work in our favor.

Someone verify this

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

I was factoring the D-Backs more than the Braves in that but now the Padres have virtually nothing to play for and even the Royals now only have to win a game or even just have the Twins lose a game so none of these teams have really anything to play for now. Monday seems inevitable. It’s really insane they couldn’t have at least played a game this Monday to avoid a doubleheader.
 
On the plus side I heard, and I many have misheard, if the standings are set after the opener they won't play the 2nd game. Only games that directly affect wild card seeding will be played.
 
At the end of the day our starters have to be lights out in big games. Our lineup has shown all year they are mediocre, we can’t get into shootouts

If these starters are going to have their worst starts when the lights are brightest we stand no chance
 
Game was over in the first inning. Shameful to admit that but it was proven by the ensuing 8 innings.
 
The Mets need to spend whatever it takes to get Soto this offseason. He seems like a guy that will be an immobile 250 lbs and still killing it a decade from now.

At that point, there is no need to nickel and dime Alonso at the 180 mill mark.
 
I tried not to relate the two unlikely events. White Sox need to win 5 out of last 6 games to avoid the embarrassment of replacing the 1962 Mets as the worst team of the modern era. Almost impossible task for a team 36-120. So they have won 4 out of 5 and are 1 win away from avoiding the title of mlb's worst team ever.

The Mets owned a 2 game playoff lead with 6 to play after an incrediible 96 game turnaround. Their bats come up about as flat as can be and lose the 1st three. Yes we weren't supposed to be a playoff team. With everything on the line we have flat out sucked.
 
I’d like to retract my previous statement that i wouldn’t be disappointed with this team even if we missed the playoffs.

Playing like this with the season on the line just means this team doesn’t belong in playoff games where the stakes are ratcheted up.

Surprising run here the last few months but just about ready to call it a year and go make some moves to bolster the lineup so we don’t look like this again
