The Official 2019 Mets Thread

[navery12]

C'mon, Deep. We've got the Dodgers next and we finish with three against the Braves, and after today we have no more games against the other teams in the WC race with us. We've improved our odds with this series, but still only around a 20% chance. I'm still interested and watching the games, which is a bonus in September, but I fully expect us to end up close but no cigar.

Conveniently leaving out the 10 games in between against the Rockies, Reds, Marlins who are all bad teams. I'd rather that than teams in the wild card race

Yes, that's why our odds are better than the Phillies' odds, but I'd rather have a chance to take down the Cubs and Brewers ourselves with games against them. Getting swept by the Cubs--especially the last game of that series--is going to turn out to be the most critical point in the season imo.

Based on the remaining schedule, Brewers seem to be in the best position to grab the second WC.

And they just lost Yelich. And they don't trot out our starting pitching.

Listen. I know what the odds are....but with less than 3 weeks left, the Mets are appointment TV for me. You can't say that every year.

Agreed on all of that. And I know I am biased, but I can’t help but believe that Alonso and McNeil are ready for prime time and would be a great story to sell. Pretty cool what Alonso did with those 9/11 cleats for the whole team.

Whoa, just checked the score for today's game. Offense clicking again, and now is Stroman.

This team has proven that no lead is safe, but this would be a nice four-game sweep before facing the Dodgers.

I can’t wait for the Mets to get swept by the Dodgers before getting my hopes up by going 8-2.

Dodgers have clinched. Mets need every win. Momentum to the Mets. Maybe, just maybe.....they're catching the Dodgers at the perfect time. The Dodgers simply can't have the same sense of urgency on every at bat at this point, right here, right now.

I have the feeling that we’re going to have to hope the same applies to Atlanta for our final three games. It will be great if we are still in the hunt then, but I hate the way they have owned us.

I think we're in if we can somehow find a way to split the Dodgers/Braves series. Not gonna be easy though

Good call to give Alonso the night off tonight imo. I love everything about the guy but he could use a day off. We need him to be him for this final stretch.

I hate it, need him in there every game. Especially against a lefty

I think we may see him later, but he was starting to get a bit loopy.

Mickey said he expects him to play every game after tonight.

I get why they did it. But just have a hard time agreeing with sitting your best player against the best pitcher they'll face the rest of the season

Never a great time and I get your point but he was 0-12 and in his head with the mustache stuff. Granted I felt better about it when we were up 1-0. I had to run out and pick up my daughter and LA scored four runs in the meantime and Familia is pitching now so we’re gonna need some more runs...

As an aside, did you notice how hammered Hundley was?

Unfortunately the Dodgers are playing with a lot more urgency tonight.

Well they avoided the sweep and deGrom didn’t get the win (shocking). A win tomorrow and I feel like they’ve got a punchers chance to make the playoffs.

This was a big win tonight, puts the floor at 4 games tomorrow which was my hope. Hopefully tomorrow we get some breaks with the early games and a real lineup tomorrow night

 

[whaler11]

13 left.

How many do they need to win to make the playoffs.

10 probably doesnt get it done. 11-2 would give them a shot.

 

[whaler11]

The Reds have are 41 runs better than the Brewers and 11 games behind them.

11-2 if the Cubs play .500 which would get the Mets to 88 wins

yeah 11-2 gives them a chance - 10-3 probably doesnt. 12-1 probably gets them a wild card

I'm looking at all the team's schedules and it's gonna be real tough. Lots of games with the Cubs/Cards and Cards/Nats and I don't even know what the best outcome for any of those are

thats easy. you want the cardinals to win every game.

pretty much 3 losses and the mets are done. if they win 11 of 13 they have a shot.
