GDT: 2024 Regular Season Thread

[LightningStorm]

Red Sox have walked in 3 Mets runs in the bottom of the 8th. For the 2nd straight night the Mets enter the bottom of the 8th up a run and break the game open.

 

[John Price]

Congrats cubs!

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

The Mets score 3 on bases loaded walks and add a sac fly. 8-3 Mets headed to the 9th

 

[LightningStorm]

Mets sweep the Red Sox! Hope we are getting hot as we are in a tight playoff race.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Braves and Mets win.

That's the lone race left for a playoff spot in my view. Royals just won as well to end their losing streak, they gain another game on the sliding Red Sox.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Yankees get the gift of the White Sox beating the Orioles...and they respond by getting their butts smacked by the Rangers.

I hate playing the ''If George was still alive'' game but there's just no way Aaron Boone would survive losing another series to a non-playoff team.

 

[GKJ]

Cubs finish it off for their first no-no at Wrigley in 52 years.

That’s crazy because they have the third most no-hitters of any team

I never want to see Ty France ever again. We'll be checking under our beds for him during the rest of the season.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Can't believe the Astros got swept by the Reds.

Can't believe the Astros got swept by the Reds.

It happens. Every team has that one team over in the opposite league that just flat out owns them. The Reds just happen to be ours over the last while.

Ty France had himself a series.

 

[Terry Yake]

brent rooker putting up MVP type numbers this season

somehow not an all star though

Rockies beat the Braves.

All tied up between NYM and ATL for the 3rd WC with 22 games left (3 against each other).

 

[Halladay]

Phillies win their 5th straight game. Back to having the top seed in the NL as the Dodgers are off and most importantly 3 games ahead of the Brewers for the bye. Ranger pitched 5 shutout innings. Granted against Miami

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Drama in San Diego. Parker Meadows with a grand slam, the Tigers lead 4-3 in the 9th.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Tigers hang on. Padres/DBacks/Braves/Mets now separated by 3 games.

 

[BMOK33]

Tigers hang on. Padres/DBacks/Braves/Mets now separated by 3 games.

What do you do if you're Shildt/Lovullo headed into that final series in 3 weeks if say ATL/NYM are both sitting 1-2 games back or tied. Do you even consider the off the record nobody sweeps the other, lets just get in, ensure neither of those 2 teams can gain 3 games on either of us and then beat each other to death at will next week, home field, who cares. KC and the Brewers won't have anything whatsoever to play for vs NYM/ATL so it really puts SD/AZ in a bad spot if one gets swept if we assume everyone is still alive.

 

[LightningStorm]

Even though they didn't play today, the Mets still won with all 3 of the Braves, Diamondbacks, and Padres losing. Tied with the Braves for the last spot now. Mets remaining schedule is tougher though. Hoping our hot streak continues during this final month.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

It's an easy joke to make but Austin Kitchen getting absolutely cooked by the Phillies.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

5 finals so far and it's basically the dead ball era:

3-0
3-2
2-0
3-1
3-1

Mets break that trend with 6-4 W, Vientos the hero. They keep pace with ATL.

 

[LightningStorm]

Vientos with the walk off HR! 8 in a row for the Mets and we keep pace with the Braves.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Astros get swept by the Reds and now they are dominating the D-Backs. Such a strange season, this 2024 baseball season.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Mets move past Atlanta in the WC race with a 4-0 win over the Reds. 1/2 game behind struggling Arizona for the 2nd spot. 9 straight wins for the Mets

Mets move past Atlanta in the WC race with a 4-0 win over the Reds. 1/2 game behind struggling Arizona for the 2nd spot. 9 straight wins for the Mets

Padres lost too, now the Mets are only 2 games back for the top WC spot.

 

[Halladay]

In theory I guess the Mets still could catch the Phillies. 7 back with 20 games to go and they play 7 times. Though they would have to win at least 6 of those games. Very unlikely scenario but we've seen the Mets blow 7.5 game lead to them with 18 games so it isn't impossible.
