Interestingly, the Braves can't play the Brewers in the first round. They either get the #5 seed or the boot.

The Braves may hold Sale for Game 2 and if they win the first game they'll certainly have someone else start the second game.
And I assume the same would be true of Schwellenbach if Sale starts the first game.

There's a clear motivation for the Mets and Braves to do just that. They each forfeit one and leave the Diamondbacks screaming about the spirit of the thing.Chad ochoseis wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2024 6:08 pm Braves lose. Let's just call it a split tomorrow and everyone takes the day off.
Of course, there would then be an "OK, you forfeit first" dilemma.

Playing five games in four days, the Mets may end up going from super-rested to having nobody ready to pitch in the playoffs on regular rest.Benjamin Grimm wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2024 6:25 pm The Braves may hold Sale for Game 2 and if they win the first game they'll certainly have someone else start the second game.

The Braves too, for that matter.
But yeah, the motivation will be for either team winning the first game to throw the back of the staff at Game Two.

Me too. And during the early 90s against the Pirates too.

I’m embarrassed to admit how outwardly I rooted for the Phils the last few post seasons.

Megill announced as Game 1 starter.

And I guess Severino in the second game if they lose.
Interestingly they'll have an extra man for the doubleheader. Bring up a starter from Syracuse to hold in reserve, and let them start game 2 if the game is meaningless.
That's what I'd do, but I also wouldn't have pitched Diaz today with a five-run lead.

Even duct tape can't fix stupid. But it can sure muffle the sound.
Re: IGT 9/29/2024: NYM@MIL — Maybe This Time
No extra man for a doubleheader in September, as I understand it, as both teams are already at an expanded 28.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.
Re: IGT 9/29/2024: NYM@MIL — Maybe This Time
They don’t get the extra player for the doubleheader since rosters expanded to 28 already.
If the Mets win game 1 with Megill (and one would assume a heavy dose of Butto if needed), great. For game 2, they can DFA Eddie Alvarez (not postseason eligible), and then call up Lucchesi or someone else to pitch. There’s an extra 40-man spot available to be created by moving Scott to the 60-day DL.
If the Mets lose game 1, they have Severino going against not-Sale.
