That's a hell of a job by the Mets, from 11 games under .500 to the playoffs. Slayed some ghosts and demons in doing so (you know 90% of their fanbase was sure ex-Met d'Arnaud was tying it there).

If they win game 2, they get the Padres...who IMO are the best team in the NL with their current roster.
If they lose game 2, they face the Brewers...a team that has owned them.

You have to imagine this will be a dominate Braves win for game 2 but anything can happen. The really nice part about small September rosters, a lot of the starters have to play.

I'd rather have Sale now than Severino for sure, assuming he is NOT hurt. There's been rumblings for weeks he is
His last start his fastball was down to 90. He maybe. Shocked he made it through the entire season.

I hope the Mets try at least a little bit. Think it’s bad juju if they lost open the gate for the Braves.
Mets should try all out to lose, you just do not want to have to go through SD, nevermind jet lag but Musgrove has been Schwellenbach west to them

MLB Network has been calling this for days.
One of their analysts knew something was up.

A classic game for the ages! So proud of the Mets making the playoffs after being dead in June. What a ride this has been.
As much as I’d love to knock the Braves out, we have to conserve energy for our series starting tomorrow, which is obviously a higher priority. Hope we play loose with zero pressure in game 2 and somehow pull it out, but I doubt it. Still a huge win though since we don’t have to have our stars play a DH today and we save Severino.

The fact they are division rivals makes this more interesting now. Though the hatred of the late 90's in that rivalry really doesn't exist anymore.
Mets have nothing to lose and Atlanta just had a crushing loss. Plus Atlanta is at home and that fanbase isn't exactly known to be pumped.

Is Sale signed past this year? Tweets make it seem like he COULD pitch in 2-3 days. I just don't get keeping him this protected if he's a FA anyway, sounds like he wanted to pitch
Those transition lenses Cone has are so tacky.

A quiet crowd for game 2 and the Mets B team. No excuses for Atlanta not to get in. Mets should at least try, but we'll see
Holmes is almost same sort of pitcher Schwellenbach is, if you're anyone in the playoffs you should throe a slider heavy RHP vs the Mets.

Atlanta just found out about the status of Sale mere hours ago.
That's called sticking with your lie.

Yeah, it was Dan Plesac yesterday who predicted Sale was basically done for the year.
You don't put your ace in the freezer for a week and a half just for the hell of it when you are playing do or die games.
