Dammit.
Whatever. We’ll take the split and win both at home.

Long hot afternoon of grandkids’ youth football (both teams won!) stopped for dinner and this game was on. Mets up 4-3 when we left and when we got home a few minutes later it was 6-6.
We’ll get ‘em Tuesday!

Flurb. Splitting in Philly is okay but I really thought they could pull this one out. Have to remember to let the other team score first.
Even duct tape can't fix stupid. But it can sure muffle the sound.

Ultimately I do have concerns that this bullpen will keep us from making a deep run this year. The team has had to overcome bad performances by Diaz, Butto and Maton. And we don’t even have a lefty to face Schwarber and Harper.
Stearns is just getting started. Hopefully our pen will be much improved next year.

Already in New Jersey. There’s something wrong with those people, though. They can’t even be happy for their team without being angry at something else.

Well, I get a couple of days to Vaseline up my bum.

1. Just too much Diaz. He’s thrown 130 pitches in the last week. His meltdown bothers me least. He needs Tuesday off, though.
2. Severino: I’m not too upset about Harper. You’re up 3, he not the tying run, fine to challenge him I guess. Sometimes these things happen. BUT: you have to then adapt and change your approach to Castellanos.
3. Megill: you cannot walk Turner. Challenge him. Hell, if he hits the walk-off homer, oh well. But there were two outs and you have to make him swing the bat.
On the positive side:
The Phillies bullpen has been thoroughly exposed as unreliable and the Mets proven repeatedly that they can hit any of them.
Pressure remains on the Phillies more than the Mets. The one game the Mets come in with an advantage in starting pitchers.
Expecting a very good crowd at Citi on Tuesday.

Agreed with Diaz needing a day off. And Mendoza needs to stop using him for multiple innings- it's not working.

Watched the highlights again just now, which are enjoyable as long as you close the window in the middle of the 9th. The clutch HRs are pretty great.

The two Mets who were younger than Vientos and had two or more extra-base hits in a postseason game are Michael Conforto, 2015 World Series Game 4, and David Wright 2006 NLDS Game 1.metirish wrote: ↑Sun Oct 06, 2024 5:50 pmBenjamin Grimm wrote: ↑Sun Oct 06, 2024 5:45 pm I checked and it's not Reyes.
Fox announcers keep saying, "Who's going to step up for the Phillies?" Maybe the answer is nobody.
Please let us know the answer

Thoroughly? Wow! That's one hell of a proclamation to make based on just two or so innings out of thousands. I guess the Phillies are gonna hafta throw complete games to beat the Mets. Hope you're right.
Who checked the Phillies' pressure? Maybe it was the Mets' floor-setter.
