and on top of all the other stuff, if deGrom falters, we'll get endless hot takes about his contract and "not having it" And "soft" and just more tiresome nonsense.

Andy Martino: "Hey, Buck. What made you to decide to go with Ruf over Álvarez there."



Buck Showalter: "Uh, two good choices. You know, the front office and people up ... you know, they've done a great job all year and offseason providing us with some good options, but ... . A little history, there. Um, I like the flexibility it gives us with the catchers. You know, one of the things that Francisco brings — obviously, he can catch. Darin's got a little more track record, especially where the Padres are concerned, being in the National League West so much and knowing a lot of their pitchers, but ... we'll see. He's worked very hard — to get back here — physically, and, uh, just from a standpoint of working on his trade, so ... we'll see if he can get back to his track record."

Buck Showalter: "Did you say mutated?"

Nimmo gets Machado sneaking in on the grass and bangs it by him for the leadoff hit, but a double play crosses that off.



You can't hit into a double-play if you take strike one.

I'd bet they were planning for such a possibility. This wasnt sprung on Diaz 15 minutes ago. I like it. But ideally, deGrom would've pitched at least one more inning. In a situation like this, I think the strategy should be to go with your best reliever. If he has to be replaced, then go with your next best. You have to play these innings like its sudden death.

Diaz has a part of everything. Out of four outs, he's had two putouts and two assists.

I'd really like to use this next half inning to move this game from Adam Ottavino territory to Drew Smith territory.



Actually, I'd like to move it to Tommy Hunter territory, but I'll work with what I can get.

Phillies, meanwhile, three outs away from ending the Cardinals' season. I'm rooting for that only because it would then push tomorrow's Mets game to the later 7-8-ish start, which I prefer.

It wasn't something I felt comfortable thinking about, but not only was the end of the season on the line, but there was a meaningful chance that it was deGrom's last game as a Met.

So the saxophone thing is new? I had never noticed it before, but thought that maybe it's more apparent in the ballpark than on TV. I thought it was effective... they played it every time a pitcher threw Ball Three, and it really emphasized how frequently the Padres were throwing Ball Three. Maybe it made them notice it as well.



The atmosphere was festive throughout. It was the most fun I've had at a baseball game since October 25, 1986. Every fan was handed an orange THESE METS towel, which will make a nice souvenir from a memorable night. On the scoreboard they played videos of Al Leiter and Curtis Granderson reminiscing about their personal Mets postseason memories.



I don't think anyone in the park was happy to see Darin Ruf in the starting lineup. Luckily, we won anyway. Our seats were in the Prominade, Section 505. The right field corner was obstructed, but in this game, not a whole lot happened there.

The sax sound effect is new. They started using it in the 2-game home series against the Marlins in late September.

Oh please with the daily hypothetical dramatics. The Mets won 101 games and are already one of baseball's best teams in only Cohen's second full season. If they're not scoring for deGrom, it's randomness. If he signs elsewhere for 2023, "non supporting teammates and horrible memories" will be the last reason. Or less than the last reason because this reason won't even register. deGrom might want to play for the Dodgers, for example, because right now and for at least the immediate future, the Dodgers franchise will be in better shape than the Mets franchise. But that's nothing like "horrible memories". And these Mets aren't the 2018 Mets anyways.

By the saxophone, do you mean the opening notes of "Darkest Light" by The Lafayette Afro Rock Band, that has been sampled in something close to a gazillion hip hop tracks? Got to say the Citi Field PA system sounded louder on the the TV last night.
