IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

G-Fafif Sep 23 2020 07:35 AM

Last home game of 2020. Expecting an average crowd tonight. Michael Wacha vs Tyler Glasnow. Rays' magic number is 1. Mets' magic number is however many days until Steve Cohen takes over.

Mets' magic number is however many days until Steve Cohen takes over. Do you believe in magic? [YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnbfuAcCqpY [/YOUTUBE] Later

2020 has been more of a 'keep the tragic alive' than the magic.

Per Tim Britton and others on Twitter, paths to the playoffs: 1. Win out (the hardest part) 2. Phillies lose at least 2 of 3 to TB 3. Brewers lose at least 4 of 6 to CIN and STL 4. Giants do no better than a split in their last six against COL and SD Mets would get the 8-seed on a tiebreaker. Mets win out, Phillies lose 2 of last 4 games and Marlins lose 3 of 5 last games. Amazins then grab the 6 seed. Don't forget one other possibility. Second place in the division. Obviously, the Mets have to win big,but the Marlins, who might be feeling the heat, play the Braves and the Yankees. Plus, the Mets have the tiebreaker vs. the Marlins. Tough, but doable. Might be their best path. (From Howie Rose). https://twitter.com/AmazinsNews/status/1308797461939523584/photo/1

And why not.

I believe. Ya gotta, right?

I think it took an improbable series of events for the Mets to win the 1999 Wild Card, didn't it? Might as well hope for the best. What other option do we have?

From Rotoworld - the Mets haven't stolen a base in the last two weeks. Later

Alonso back in the cleanup box.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 23 2020 04:22 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

Conforto back too.

MFS62 Sep 23 2020 04:37 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

That's the lineup they should have used all year. It just ..... looks right.(except for McNeil in the outfield) Later

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2020 05:19 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

Since this is the final home game it should be Fan Appreciation Day All fans in attendance will rec ... wait,, nevermind. Nice start for Wacha-Flocka

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2020 05:26 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

How high can Pete's exit velo be on all those pop-ups he hits?

G-Fafif Sep 23 2020 05:43 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

Gim-boom.

Fman99 Sep 23 2020 05:51 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

Has Ramos made even one play at the plate all season?

Chad ochoseis Sep 23 2020 05:51 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

Yeah...just now.

Fman99 Sep 23 2020 05:51 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

OK that answers that question!

Chad ochoseis Sep 23 2020 05:52 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

But don't know what Alonso was thinking going home with a fast runner on third.

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2020 06:19 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

The more the off-site umps uphold those bang-bang calls the less often managers will risk challenging them ... and that will be a good thing.

Not getting the out had the potential to set up a big inning for the Rays. Fortunately the subsequent play -- the 9-3 DP -- went our way so no further harm done.

Edgy MD Sep 23 2020 06:35 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

Glasnow sure likes to smell his glove.

This is how it ends: With Alonso swinging at pitches that bounce on the infield grass and a multi-reliever meltdown. Bravo, 2020 Mets

Wow. Alonso's been just brutal this year. All. Year. Long. He's like the bad Dave Kingman at his worst with 30+ hr power* but simply unplayable when he's not hitting homers. And the homers Alonso's hitting aren't even drop-what-you're-doing Kingmanesque tape measure bombs. *adjusted over a full 162 game season.

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2020 07:50 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

I'm starting to think that this one isn't going to go our way.

Root for the Mets to K two more two batters for 12 K's. That'll tie a MLB record for at least 12 K's in eight straight games by a team's pitching staff.

Guess not. Unless they can score six in the ninth and send the game into extras.

Edgy MD Sep 23 2020 07:59 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

Take. A. Strike.

Edgy MD Sep 23 2020 08:00 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

Frazier yanks one out on pitch one. Still should've taken a strike.

kcmets Sep 23 2020 08:01 PM Re: IGT 9/23/2020: TBR @ NYM — Close Down the House

See ball. Hit ball over wall.

Oliver Drake serving up some gruel for NYM hitters. Please Sir, we want some more.

Guess not, again.



eff and Jeff can't assemble a team to make the post-season in a year when you don't even have to win more than half of your games to qualify for post-season play.

At least it was under 3 hours.
