NLDS G3 IGT 10/8/2024: PHI@NYM — Homecoming Game

[Lefty Specialist]

Send him out for the 8th with a short leash. And I better not see Diaz warming up.

[Edgy MD]

Man, I was REALLY regretting not pinch-running Luisangel there for a minute or two.

Not only is he slow but he read that ball terribly. Bad jump.

I wonder if Mendoza makes a different call if faced with the situation later in the post-season.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Learning a 6-pack of Shaefer was en route has obviously emboldened Manea

V5

[Edgy MD]

Alvarado v. Alonso.

What they paid for.

[Edgy MD]

Alvarado v. Iglesias.

What I hope for.

[Lefty Specialist]

Let's go Jose. I'll buy your CD.

[Centerfield]

Big spot Jose! Let’s do something here.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Omg

[Cowtipper]

Something was done.

[ashie62]

OMG!

[Centerfield]

OMG!!!!

[metsmarathon]

YES!!!

I’m not even mad at Pete getting out at home there

[Frayed Knot]

Not to be Negative Nellie here but you hope they don't need the potential extra runs that Pete just squashed.

I hope not. Terrible call to send him.

[Centerfield]

I hope Manaea didn’t sit too long. Batter by batter.

[Fman99]

I'd have traded two runs for the out if you offered it to me ahead of time.

Six run lead. Six outs to get. I feel pretty hopeful.

[metirish]

Amazing, let's go

[Lefty Specialist]

6-run inning, 6 outs to get.

Manaea out there. Good.

[Lefty Specialist]

Okay, shut em down. Please.

[ashie62]

I'm not a big Maton fan

Sure, but those two runs were already in the bag.


IIRC, his is the third time in Sep/Oct that Manaea has gone out to start the 8th and immediately given up a base runner and been pulled. So while he's pitched into the 8th multiple times he's yet to record an 8th inning out.

[Centerfield]

Maton in with the big lefties coming up.

If you can’t pitch him here where can you pitch him.

[Edgy MD]

has now surpassed José Valentín in the category of Surprise Mets Secondbasemen Named José.

I'm not a big Maton fan

Proving me wrong

Maybe
