Milwaukee has been tough as nails vs the Mets. Maybe better matchup because their starting pitching isn’t as deep but let’s not kid ourselves. Brewers are a problem. Now I prefer playing Fillies vs Dodger Dawgs. We are well acquainted with them. We will give them fits.
Mets 2024 Season
- Thread starter BrooklynRed
- Start date
Hahaha. Nope. Luis Severino was last seen swilling Coors Lights and champagne in the visiting clubhouse in Atlanta. He’s our Starter Game 1 tomorrow in Milwaukee.
I have posted numerous times my disdain for individual awards, absolutely hate them.
Anyway, in regards to Lindor, I find it hard to believe there could be a more valuable player to his team this year. Big hits, big stolen bases, stellar defense at arguably the most important position, an amazing upbeat attitude it seemed every moment on the field or bench, just an absolutely terrific player, leader and teammate. It is really a privilege to me to be able to see him play over the course of a season.
He was slated to pitch second game today if they had lost first game. I’m figuring Mets will get swept this way no disappointment and winning is gravy.Hahaha. Nope. Luis Severino was last seen swilling Coors Lights and champagne in the visiting clubhouse in Atlanta. He’s our Starter Game 1 tomorrow in Milwaukee.
I know anything can happen just not going to get hopes up to inoculate myself from disappointment if they should lose.
For me, the measure of a team is over 162 games, not in the playoffs. The Mets did the hard work over the course of the year, my disappointment would have been not finishing by missing out on getting in the tournament after getting into the drivers seat for the last week of the regular season. Short series anything can happen to any team.

On camera, at least, he was drinking (and spraying) water only. On camera, I emphasize.Hahaha. Nope. Luis Severino was last seen swilling Coors Lights and champagne in the visiting clubhouse in Atlanta. He’s our Starter Game 1 tomorrow in Milwaukee.
Anyone who can get the Muttsies to the post season is manager of the planet

For me, it would have been demoralizing to have not made the playoffs after where they sat after taking the Phillies series. It would have been same old Mets failing to seize the moment. Saying that, the playoffs didn’t seem realistic just 2 months ago, certainly not the way the season started into late May.
At this point, aside from getting the crap smacked out of us, or not putting up a fight at the very least, it’s all gravy from here on out. I expect Milwaukee to win, they seem to always have our number and they obviously have the home field, but they’ve underperformed in the playoffs many times, so…you never know. It’s been…a season, already

Baseball is the weirdest of sports in some ways, in the 2nd game today Darling shared that the Mets were 0-47 going into today when trailing by 3 runs or more in the 8th inning, so what happens? Baseball is so full of oddities so another of my favorites and then lights out - Cecil and Prince Fielder not only both hit 319 home runs in their careers BUT they also both hit:For me, it would have been demoralizing to have not made the playoffs after where they sat after taking the Phillies series.

97 2 out
49 4th inning
25 5th inning
and 18 9th inning HRs……….
Severino traveling makes sense since he was the game 2 starter if needed. Peterson, Quintana, and Manaea don’t since they couldn’t pitch anyway.Hahaha. Nope. Luis Severino was last seen swilling Coors Lights and champagne in the visiting clubhouse in Atlanta. He’s our Starter Game 1 tomorrow in Milwaukee.
Pretty unique situation leaving Milwaukee Sunday knowing with 90% or more certainty you would be coming back Tuesday if you made the playoffs.
So many strange angles to the game yesterday. Mets getting 6 runs in an inning after being shutout and down 3 nothing.
A rally started by the 4 th OFer Tyrone Taylor with an absolutely GREAT AB.
Then Alonso (his defense!!) makes a great play stopping a double which might have tied the game. Irony ball was hit by Jared Kelenic who Diaz was traded for. Of course Diaz didn’t cover as he was staring off into space.
The final out of the game with the tying run at second was none other than ex Met Travis D’Arnaud. Imagine that. It was crazy.

It is time for the Polar Bear to come out of hibernation or look for another team in 2025. Do I think he will finally produce--NO. (PS-I would love to eat my words.)

I hate to pile on but the guy seemed to be partying more than anyone in the clips I saw. Couldn’t help but think about the old Frank Cashen quote about it's always the players who contribute the least who spray the most champagne. I know Alonso is better than that but he has literally contributed next to nothing in any key situations.
Alonso deserves a lot of the criticism he gets. But I will give him some credit where its due, he continues to play a pretty solid 1st base. If Diaz covered first on that one grounder down the line in the bottom of the 8th, that could have been a signature play for Pete
The key for Pete is always the same. Can he lay off the sliders and pitches away that time and time again leave him looking foolish? We will see. If he can get going here it would be massive for us
Personally, I am most nervous about Sevy today, after a doubleheader yesterday, the Mets are going to need their pitching to lift them up a bit, and it starts with Severino. He got smacked around a bit his last start and only went 4.0 IP. We need more today

I really don’t like getting on Alonso because the guy genuinely seems to care and there’s no doubt he is a popular guy in the clubhouse. The thing I see, and I admittedly know nothing, is that he always squeezing the hell out of his bat and is always trying to pull everything. I don’t know if the coaching staff tries anything different with him or they just let him be (I remember David Ortiz used to say something along the lines of f the shift, I’m not changing what I do) but something seems to be in his head at the plate. More than ever too. I’d love to see the guy break out, it would make this whole story somehow better.
