Message: [QUOTE="FanInNC, post: 5089715, member: 13050"] WOW! I haven't checked in on this thread in a minute - so catch up time. Game 2 - hindsight I think we should have left Manaea in the game for one more inning. His pitch count wasn't that high and our bull pen is short on arms you actually trust. Maton is fine, but when he didn't have it there was no plan B. Also Pete tripping over his own bat cost us a run in that early inning and another time we wasted a situation with a runner on 2nd and no outs. I think it was Marte, Taylor struck out and couldn't move him over. Alvarez and Lindor weren't able to get the hit to knock him in. Game 3 - Quintana was great! I don't think he had his best stuff, he gave up a lot of hard contact and only had 1 inning where he didn't allow a baserunner - his last, but man he delivered, never let it snowball on him. Butto is the guy I trust the most out of the pen right now and he went out there and gave up back to back homers against a dude batting .197 and Frelick! Unreal! Diaz was shaky with control, Pete freaking drops a foul ball that would have got us out of an inning. Going into the 9th we had 2 hits...both from Lindor. Again wasted chances, Lindor with a lead off double to start the game and can't do anything with Vientos, Nimmo and Pete following. We looked lost at the plate all night. Totally cool with Pete walking after the season, just complete shrinkage to end the season for him.... ...then Pete flipped the script as Gary would say. Unbelievable! Sitting there debating 3 days ago where Lindor's homer fits in Mets' lore and now Pete delivers THAT! Man! From dead in the water to this! Pay that man his money! What a moment for Pete and the team in general. And Lindor just continues to rise up the charts of all time Mets. Peterson coming in and getting it done in a spot he's not accustomed to as well. I'll give it to Stearns too. Mendoza's hire looks like a good one. Iglesias, Bader, Taylor, Severino, Manaea - he's made some nice under the radar moves that have shaped this team. What a time to be a Met fan! I'm a NC State fan and this has vibes of what I just witnessed in March with the ACC title run and run to the Final Four. Why not us?! [/QUOTE]
