The Official 2022 Mets Thread

I'm feeling like we're going to get a special outing from Jake tonight.

Tonight would be the perfect time to start a winning streak. The Braves have Odorizzi (who's been shaky) going against Rodon on Wednesday, so we could get lucky and see the Giants take 2 of 3 here.

Going into the Braves series with the division lead would be monumental. One win there gets us the tiebreaker so essentially that would extend our division lead by a game.
 
Starting to feel like the same old Mets again.
 
Hopefully the last 2 weeks is the wake-up call this team needed that they can't just coast through the regular season. Lots of reinforcements coming this weekend too which is nice. Obviously the division is still the goal but magic number of 10 with 19 games to go for a playoff spot

I've seen better 1st innings. This is gonna be a nice comeback win

Not a fan of Peterson out of the pen, either; but also not a fan of Rodriguez or Claudio. I'd prefer using Lugo as the first preference in those spots, but I suppose we need to keep at least one of those three, which is where Eppler's failure to land another lefty really hurts us.

Mets look to create new bullpen weapon as Max Scherzer’s return nears

As the Mets hope to welcome back Max Scherzer as a rotation weapon, they hope to create a new bullpen weapon in David Peterson.

Prefer Peterson to Joely, but I doubt either makes the postseason roster anyway in the bullpen. deGrom, Scherzer, Bassitt, Walker as the SPs. Diaz, Ottavino, Lugo, Megill, Carrasco, Givens, May all feel like locks in the bullpen. Which leaves 1 spot and I'd be much more confident with Trevor Williams or Drew Smith there than any of the lefties

Yeah, it was good to see Max return in top form, but just having him back in the clubhouse and dugout makes a huge difference in attitude with this team. I don't think it's a coincidence that the Mets stumbled each time he left for rehab starts. The players all describe his winning attitude as "contagious," and I was happy to see Steve Gelbs confirm last night that Scherzer--on the days he is not pitching--has had almost as big of an overall impact on the team as Buck.
 
Alonso and Lindor with two huge swings tonight. Can the Braves just lose one game?

I'm not concerned. I believe that when we need to win to close it out? We have the guys (and coach) to do it.

I’m not concerned about the Mets. But if they go 8-4 the rest of the way that might not be enough. The Phillies need to actually earn their way into the postseason by beating the Braves a few times.
 
I am going to take at least partial credit for that nice comeback win last night.

I went on FanDuel when they were down 4-0, put in a smallish bet for them to win at +670, but just couldn’t pull the trigger on following through with it…
 
Well I sure didn’t see the A’s lighting up Jake in a big game coming. If they beat Jake and Mac back to back and we end up losing the division I may kill myself.

We are not losing tomorrow.

1.5 game lead with 8 games left (9 for the Braves). It's really important to win these two games from Miami; we're not facing Alcantara and the games are at home. If we win the two games then we'll go into the most important series of the year with a 1 game lead. At least one win there would get us the tiebreaker and essentially add a half-game to our division lead. Even if the Braves won the other two, we would go into the last series of the year tied (with the tiebreaker) and would just have to match whatever the Braves do in their final series, and that's only if they sweep the Nats in the series starting today.
 
Looks like the Braves will be bringing Kyle Wright, Max Fried, and Charlie Morton to the mound for the series with the Mets. Not sure who is slotted to pitch for the Mets in those games.

Bassitt/Fried, deGrom/Wright, Scherzer/Morton

We lined up our best: Bassitt, deGrom, Scherzer. Not sure the order yet.

The bigger issue seems to be getting in all three games; the hurricane is going to hit Atlanta Friday afternoon, and it's supposed to rain for most of the day Saturday. I think Friday is definitely going to be postponed, but there's a chance at least for Saturday. If both days get rained out, that's a huge issue for MLB since the division will likely need all three outcomes to be decided.

I don't think they announced an order yet, and with days off this week they could theoretically throw them in any order. It wouldn't surprise me if they want to keep Scherzer on his regular rest, or if they want to give deGrom extra rest.

Not officially but was just going by what's listed on all the sites. I assume they'll keep them in the normal order since it keeps Scherzer/deGrom lined up for the wild card series. Hopefully we avoid that series entirely though and win the division
