IGT 6/7 Mets @ Braves Feels like a must win

It's not a must win, but losing this series is not really an option today. I don't want the Mets to become a "You are your record team" 30-31



You are never as good or bad as you look is true. Can we see some of the "as good as you are" part of this.



There are a good number of underperforming Mets players that it's difficult to single anyone out. They do know who they are however



Scherzer has to succeed in the role of a stopper, that's why he is here

Re: IGT 6/7 Mets @ Braves Feels like a must win

All I want is a team that takes pitches. We know the team can afford highly sought-after personnel, but the real edge we need is philosophical.



The Mets had a good grip on the game after Nimmo's 10-pitch leadoff walk. If they stayed on that path, they would have chased Morton by the end of the third. It's not like he really found the plate until the fourth.
