deucebag Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Well folks losing 2 in a row to Atlanta is brutal and inexcusable. Only 11 games to go - I fear its gonna take 7-4 to get in the playoffs. Time for Terry to be tough...NO MORE BRUCE, LONEY OR D'ARNAUD, New Lineup starting tomorrow 3B Reyes CF Nimmo SS Cabrera 1B Duda LF Cespedes RF Granderson 2B Rivera C Plawecki/Rivera Loney is spent - he was nice for awhile but now he just stinks...Bruce should be flown out of NY so fast he wont know what happened.

Cespedes hitting 5th and Rivera 8th??? I think we need to run Bruce out there as he's overdue to get hot. Sit him against lefties if anything.

RutgersJetFan Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Really huge day today btw. Not only is the game a must-win (I mean they all are going forward but still), but we'll know if we're getting Matz back at all. The Mets could really use a break with one of these injuries already. Good vibes only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Rene behind the plate, Grandy in right, De Aza in center. Perfect. This should absolutely be the lineup the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Give me Rivera and Plawecki from here on out. Plawecki had a chance to regroup in the minors and I'd rather die with him at this point. As bad as he looked when d'Arnaud was hurt, at least he showed some emotion. I'm sick of d'Arnaud's wishy washy blank ******* look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Collins has completely managed this game away. The infield and hitters they got stuck with in the 9th...just what the ****. Gotta give credit where it's due. Inciarte made an incredible play at the end there. What a heartbreaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Well, if we miss out on the playoffs we are going to look back at this three game series. No excuse for getting swept by the Braves. Credit to Inciarte for a great play to take the HR away from Ces, but should not have come to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm hoping the Giants sweep the Dodgers to close the year and make it a 4 way tie with the NL West undecided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame Terry, left Colon in for one batter too many and Reid in for one batter two few. Cute to trust Smoker, but Reed had done nothing wrong and Smoker is no Sparky Lyle. Why is it Terry is the only one who does not know that Familia stinks when not given a clean inning. Mets need to take at least 3 of 4 from the Phills - can they - YES, will they?

Lith Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 If there is a 3-way tie (per Jayson Stark): http://www.espn.com/blog/jayson-stark/post/_/id/1866/if-three-teams-tie-for-nl-wild-card-its-going-to-get-crazy Quote First, let’s tell you, with 99.9 percent certainty, who would play whom and when. Then we’ll explain how and why. Monday, Oct. 3: Mets at Cardinals. The winner would win the first wild-card spot and host the NL wild-card game on Oct. 5. Tuesday, Oct. 4: Loser of the Mets-Cardinals game plays the Giants in San Francisco. The winner heads for either New York or St. Louis to play in the wild-card game the next day. The loser heads for the fishing hole, the putting green or possibly both. Wednesday, Oct. 5: The survivors play in the NL wild-card game. The winner goes on to Chicago to play the Cubs in the NLDS. As for the loser, see above. Seeding is determined by the season series. The Cardinals (thanks to two huge wins in San Francisco on Saturday and Sunday) won the season series against the Giants, four games to three. And the Mets also won their season series against the Giants, 4-3. Meanwhile, the Cardinals and Mets split their season series 3-3, but the Cardinals would hold the tiebreaker because of a better record in their own division. So the Cardinals get first dibs on which scenario they’d choose. And while it may be true that it’s never come to this, there have been enough close calls through the years that teams have at least had to choose their path. So we know that every team that has been in the Cardinals’ position has opted for the schedule we just outlined: Two chances to get in. Host the first game. Play the second game on the road if they lose. he Mets would get the second choice -- which comes down to whether they’d prefer two road games, only needing to win one, or one home game with the whole season riding on it. So is it theoretically possible they would decide that their rotation is so thin, they would rather just play one tiebreaker game instead of burning both Noah Syndergaard and Bartolo Colon before they even get to the wild-card game? Sure. Theoretically. But no team has ever made that choice. So it’s highly unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Other than the outcomes, that was some good baseball for the series. Braves are our Kryptonite I guess. Really thought Cespedes had won the game. Not happy that we chose Plawecki as the pinch hitter with the bases loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The ******* Braves, man. I swear all of their wins are vs. the Mets. Unreal. To think that if the Mets miss the postseason that it was the Braves sweeping them late in the season to kill their hopes...ugh. It makes me sick. Ces getting robbed sucked but I really didnt understand why Collins brought Smoker in to face Freeman. Why not just leave Reed in the game? Oh well. Need to go on a winning streak now. Jeez.

Of course if Terry leaves Colon in and pitches to Freeman, Chipper Jones 2.0, and he hits a HR Terry is wrong again. Lefty/lefty, it's SOP. Familia did the same thing last year down the stretch. You play your best players when the chips are down. The Loney error costs us that game. Maybe Terry should have played Campbell at first at that time?
