OT: MLB Thread 2024

[17futurecap]

The Yankees defense is comical.

 

[mxyxptlk]

I don’t know if this is true. Gives Lindor more time to rest, and the Royals (Braves) are a harder series than the Brewers (Mets).

I'd say it's advantage D-Backs. They know if they put up 3 wins in their last 4, there is a good chance they make it. It's a race to 90 wins and they have the most cracks at it first.

The Mets can make this a moot point by going to Milwaukee and winning. Kansas City is playing for their season, the Brewers are not. Phillies and Dodgers can win their games and the Brewers have nothing to play for.

Also I know a lot of people shit on the NHL for things they do, but the MLB is next level when it comes to schedules and not doing anything about poor weather. Everyone knew this was possible. There should have been contingency options to move the games to a dome.

I get that it's a playoff push and you're taking an advantage away from the Braves, but now you're killing both teams. Someone will have a Monday doubleheader for their season and a Tuesday ROAD playoff game 1.

I saw this only because of the brutal travel schedule the Mets know have to undertake. And when they win on Monday, the have fly to home of playoff opponent for series start on Tuesday.

Ridiculous balls and strikes

 

[mxyxptlk]

Mets certainly pick the oddest and worst times for their batting to go cold.

 

[Bob Richards]

this is depressing lol

They're gonna blow it during the last weekend again, aren't they?

You had to be the one to say it, didn't ya? Unfortunately, I've had the same feeling over the past 2-3 games.

As George Burns used to say: "Say goodnight, Gracie!"

They absolutely are. At the end of the day, they are the Mets.

Braves won. The padres are their only hope now.

 

[Bob Richards]

Padres up 5-0 in the 9th.

If they close that out it'll zap this Mets corpse with some pretty good shock paddles.

So, if I'm correct, if Backs lose tomorrow, Mets get WC3 no matter what they do.

The Mets are somehow going to lolmets themselves into the playoffs. What a world.

No, if Arizona loses tomorrow, the Mets need one win.

If there's a tie, Mets hold the tiebreaker over Zona

Mets still need to win 1 of remaining 3. Backs would finish with 74 losses. Mets can't lose all 3 or they'd finish with 75 losses.

Thanks.

Mets and Braves gentleman agreement?

 

[Bob Richards]

Of course it was going to come down to the stupid hurricane double header. It was never going to be anything else lol.

At least they only need to win one of the games.

How we feeling? I want to believe that this group is different and resilient, as we've declared them dead several times this year, but they're still the Mets.

 

[17futurecap]

Feels like the winner of game 1 tomorrow doesn’t try in game 2, and they split it and both get in.

Certainly possible, though if a team has a preference for the Brewers or the Padres in round one, they'd still have something to play for.

Seems like the Braves are holding Sale until at least game 2 tomorrow, and their hope is not pitching him at all.

With no 40 man rosters in September you do have to put a fair amount of starters on the field even if you do win game 1 though, so certainly possible someone could get swept.
