At least with the Braves having clinched the Mets can rest deGrom, knowing today's game doesn't have any meaning in the standings, and get him ready for WC game 1 Friday.

I fell asleep between games, thx

Benjamin Grimm Oct 05 2022 09:48 AM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

I hope McNeil sits. As noted in the "Passing Lane" thread, Freeman needs a 4 for 4 to pass him. I want Jose Butto to be the starter, or someone else who won't be on the postseason roster. I don't know if Butto is on the taxi squad, or if the Mets can manipulate him onto the active roster for today, but that would be my choice if possible.

Gwreck Oct 05 2022 10:14 AM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

They don't have roster flexibility for that. Calling up someone means sending someone else down. I guess Megill could be optioned if it's been decided he won't be on the WC series roster. More likely they just pitch Williams and Megill a few innings each and then spread around the rest to guys who are rested (Lugo, May, Rodriguez).

G-Fafif Oct 05 2022 11:36 AM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

TrevWill starts today.

DocTee Oct 05 2022 11:40 AM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Would've loved to see Dom Smith get a start. Escobar at second has injury written all over it-- whither Deven Marrero? And Darin Ruf should spell McNeil at DH.

Gwreck Oct 05 2022 11:43 AM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Alas, because rosters only go to 28, Smith, Marrero, and Ruf are not on the active roster. And room can't be made for any of them unless there was an injury/DFA/option which would make that affected payer unavailable for the WC series.

McNeil sits at Buck's behest.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 05 2022 12:38 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Glad to see it. As soon as Freddie makes his first out, McNeil will clinch the title. I'm also glad that Pete is sitting. Wish Lindor was as well, but looking at the roster it may not be possible to sit Lindor and McNeil and Escobar without playing someone ridiculously out of position.

Edgy MD Oct 05 2022 01:00 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Fake lineup wasn't that far off. But man, Lindor has been ridden hard down the stretch this season. All season, really. Guillorme has a long history at short and Escobar at second, but those are both positions they haven't gotten to play of late. It seemed like a good time to refamiliarize themselves going into the playoffs, just in case a scenario arose. For the same reason, I proposed a Vogelstart at first. But yeah, I can see using a start at first to give McCann a few more opportunities to find something in his bat.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 05 2022 02:05 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Rain delay. They should just skip it. Or make it up in December in Florida.

I'm sitting in a coffee shop in Astoria and it's barely drizzling, so it looks like they're looking for an excuse to do just that. I'd kind of like to see the Mets finish with the same record as the Braves, but I'd like to see them get some rest even more. And why make the Nats endure any more of this season than they already have?

Rain now coming down for reals here on 21st St. I think we're headed for a 161 game season.

kcmets Oct 05 2022 02:27 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

The radar is pretty ominous until like 6:30 or so.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 05 2022 03:09 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Freeman just homered. Now he's 2 for 2.

kcmets Oct 05 2022 03:09 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

HR in his second AB.

Chad ochoseis Oct 05 2022 03:15 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Wonder if they're throwing him meatballs. It's been known to happen in meaningless games.

G-Fafif Oct 05 2022 03:44 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Givens now given the start.

kcmets Oct 05 2022 03:50 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Freeman, F-8!

Benjamin Grimm Oct 05 2022 03:51 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Freeman now 2 for 3, so we probably have a batting champion.

Methead Oct 05 2022 03:52 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

What if he goes 7 for 8?

ashie62 Oct 05 2022 03:59 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Call the game already

bmfc1 Oct 05 2022 04:22 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

That was a funny shot on SNY: Max, Jake, and Bassitt were talking, Pete has nothing to do so he comes over to join in and they ignored him. I wonder if he said, "what are you talking about... pitching?"

Edgy MD Oct 05 2022 04:36 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

=ashie62 post_id=110105 time=1665007168 user_id=90] Call the game already

Ashie, man, moving on is, like, your brand.



The game is underway and the Mets are up, 3-0.

Edgy MD Oct 05 2022 04:38 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Sorry, 6-0.

kcmets Oct 05 2022 04:47 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

I just tuned in. 6-sniffle is fun!!

Chad ochoseis Oct 05 2022 04:49 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Meanwhile, Marlins up 10-8 in what looks like a barnburner in Miami based solely on scoreboard. Second and third and 2 out for the Braves, so they might have tied it by the time I hit submit.

Centerfield Oct 05 2022 05:00 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Dodgers up 6-1 top 9. Unless Colorado mounts a 5 run rally, Freeman will finish the day 3-4 and McNeil is your batting champion.

Centerfield Oct 05 2022 05:06 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

James McCann and the Marlins. Assholes.

kcmets Oct 05 2022 05:07 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

9-sniffle > 6-sniffle!

=Centerfield post_id=110120 time=1665011189 user_id=65] James McCann and the Marlins. Assholes.

Does that pitcher owe McCann money?

Later

Edgy MD Oct 05 2022 05:09 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

I say Go, McCann! Mets putting up a nicely symmetrical three runs per inning.

ashie62 Oct 05 2022 05:25 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

9-0 Miami 12-8 If these leads hold the Mets got 5 of 6 outcomes they needed to win the division. The one negative outcome was by 1 run. Very close

bmfc1 Oct 05 2022 05:55 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

101 wins for the Mets and ATL... so one more win, at any time in the season changing one of the 61 losses to a win, would have won the title. Sigh.

kcmets Oct 05 2022 06:20 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

one more win, at any time in the season changing one of the 61 losses to a win, would have won the title. Maybe "Games the Mets Pissed Away in 2022" deserves it's own thread this off-season. Now isn't the time, now is the time for positivity!! #lgm #ygb #ymdyf

ashie62 Oct 05 2022 06:55 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Mcneil lost the batting title

kcmets Oct 05 2022 07:05 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Mcneil lost the batting title I think you got some bad info... McNeil seals 2nd batting title in Mets history

Edgy MD Oct 05 2022 07:21 PM Re: IGT 10/5 Regular Season Sunset on 2022

Yeah, Jeff got that locked down. Good on him.
