Mets 2024 Season

Geez, didn’t take long for the “ain’t it great playing meaningful September games for a team I just knew before the season began had no chance” posts to do an abrupt about face! :ROFLMAO: 🤔
 
For the negatives about Peterson, he came through BIG time today. One of the best Met's pitching performances of the year but when he left after 7, I was apprehensive to say the least because of the word "Bullpen".

Was Alonso in hibernation today and in this series. All I can see is that he is Lindor who gave it all from the 1st inning on with the steal and subsequent score.

On to Atlanta who have saved Sale.
 
So we need one more win? In Atlanta? Eh, no problem!😉 Is that all? I know this if we ever did win the first game I would love to win the second which would eliminate the Braves. Something tells me I should worry about winning ONE, ANY ONE. ☝️
 
I don’t follow a lot of details closely, such as pitching rotations, etc. But one of my coffee buddies said yesterday that the Mets went out of the rotation order to start Soriano against the Braves.
If so, dumb, dumb move and not just in hindsight. The Mets starters had developed a great chemistry as a unit and I would understand if you were moving up Koufax or Gibson or Seaver, etc.
But Soriano? No knock, but why? You disrupt chemistry, but more importantly, send the message that the “way” we did it to have the best record in baseball for 100 games wasn’t good enough anymore.
Regardless, ancient history, let’s get at least one today!!
 
I went to the jets game yesterday with some friends and it was easily the worst sports experience I’ve ever had when you take into account the game itself + the weather

Throw me a bone today and get into the playoffs, Mets

Honestly, I’d be pissed if I was a D-Backs fan 🤷‍♂️
Just obnoxiously quoting myself to show how the D-Backs were gonna get screwed right from the beginning of MLB’s ineptitude. I don’t care about rivalries, either team that puts out its best players for game 2 after winning game 1 is just flat out stupid. And, if that team loses to a ragtag lineup and pitchers and gets swept then they obviously don’t deserve the playoffs.
 
Braves have the pitching edge with Schwellenbach or however the hell you say or spell his name. Although, the Mets just saw this guy on Tuesday night. The first inning was a disaster because they swung at everything and the guy threw 7 pitches. Let’s at least make the guy work today. Get some tough ABs early. Time to exorcise our demons. We need one. ☝️ Keep the faith. Maybe something good happens.

Mets going with McGill indicates they may be going with a 'bullpen game" as Tyler has had a great (for him) September but only 4 to 6 innings. Last game was 4 innings with 5 shutout innings by pen.

The guy who has to step up is the polar bear, wake up bear-not time to hibernate.

YA GOTTA BELIEVE!!
 
Today we aren't playing for all the marbles. Just one please. :)

I mean "Please God". I mean, i didnt even get a meatball at sunday supper.
 
Well Schwellenbach just mowed us down in the first inning like it was nothing. Gulp
More of the same in the 2nd, just pounding the strike zone.

And tough pitching by Megill to match the 0!!

Just another anemic inning in which the Mets fail to capitalize on a great opportunity via Taylor hustle. Horrible at bat by Bader as he hits on top of a hanging breaking ball pounding it into the ground when a fly ball was what was needed.

And Megill’s hanger gets lost, Braves 2-0………
