Mets Regular Season thread

Mets pitchers tie the major league record with 20 strikeouts in a 9-inning game, and do it without allowing a walk. Mets stay 1 game ahead.

 

Great day for Mets/Jets fans yesterday. I just wish the Braves would lose and we'd get a little bigger cushion.

 

Scherzer with 18 up and 18 down. 70 pitches, and given it's his first outing off the IL, that will presumably be it for him.

Obviously most important is the bullpen preserve the 5-0 lead (giving Max his 200th career win, and clinching a post-season berth), but wouldn't it be something if they preserved the no-hitter or even the perfect game?

 

And Megill gives up a double on his second pitch. Back to caring about winning the game.

 

Pull Megill immediately. He was bad in his last two minor league tuneups, and he's bad here.

 

Mets win 7-2. Mets clinch a post-season berth for the first time in 6 years. Scherzer wins his career 200th.

 

Alonso ended his postgame interview saying "LFGM." Pretty funny. I wonder if any kid out there is saying "Daddy, what does "LFGM" stand for?".

 

Congrats boys! Let's not get complacent and keep the foot on the gas!

 

LINDOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shit

Pete and Lindor putting the team on their back tonight

 

Well, I said that Lindor and Alonso need to carry the team, and they certainly did so tonight. Add in Diaz too. But the damn Braves don't want to lose either.

 

Was following the game on my phone the entire night. Nats had so many opportunities including bases loaded to end the game

 

The Braves are a barnacle on our asses.

 

Mets have to think carefully about who their #4 starter will be in the postseason after Jake, Max, and Bassitt. Walker has been mostly terrible in the second halves of both 2021 and 2022, and Carrasco has a 6.71 ERA against playoff contenders and a 2.19 ERA against everyone else.

 

Atlanta loses and we instantly give up a solo shot to make it 1-0

 

6-0....at least we won't lose ground.

 

Big failure for Drew Smith, but once again Walker demonstrates why you can't really count on him.

 

Phils top Braves 1-0, Mets lead up to 1 1/2 games.

 

So if ATL loses 2 more games and we beat them once, it's over as long as we go 6-5 (5-5 without the 1 win over ATL)

If ATL loses 1 more game and we beat them once, it's over as long as we go 7-4 (6-4 without the 1 win over ATL)

Does this sound right?

 

Braves are getting crushed by the Phils 9-0. Mets have to take care of business in this series. They’re facing three lefties, which is not good (Ruf in right field tonight).
