Up Next:

Game 6 is set for Sunday night at Dodger Stadium, with first pitch scheduled at 8:08 p.m. ET.
Neither team has formally announced a starting pitcher, but the Mets will likely go with Sean Manaea, who is 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA in three postseason starts. The Dodgers went with a bullpen game in Game 2 and may go in that direction once again. The game will air on FS1.

Mets pass the baton, refuse to go down swinging in zero-strikeout showing

New York becomes 1st team since 2002 Angels to avoid striking out in a postseason game



The Mets faced elimination on Friday night at Citi Field as they took on the Dodgers in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series. Not only did New York avoid an end to its exciting postseason run, but it did so in historic fashion.

By not striking out at all in their 44 plate appearances during a 12-6 win over Los Angeles, the Mets became the first team since the 2002 Angels to avoid striking out in a postseason game -- that Angels lineup from 22 years ago did not strike out in an 11-10 win over the Giants in Game 2 of the World Series.

The zero-strikeout performance by the Mets’ lineup on Friday was the third such occurrence in the postseason during the expansion era (since 1961) and the 11th in MLB postseason history overall. This was also just the third time in postseason history that a team scored 10-plus runs without striking out, joining those 2002 Angels and the 1960 Pirates, who did not strike out in their 10-9 Game 7 victory -- won on Bill Mazeroski's walk-off home run.

For a team that had been limited to just two combined runs over the two previous games in the series, the Mets finally broke out of their offensive slump. Starling Marte led the way with four hits, including three doubles, and Pete Alonso crushed a three-run homer to center field in the first inning to open the scoring.

This year’s Mets will hope to follow in the 2002 Angels’ footsteps in more ways than one. That Angels club trailed San Francisco in the World Series, 3-2 -- the same position in which the Mets find themselves as they head to Dodger Stadium for Game 6 of the NLCS on Sunday.
The 2002 Angels won Game 6 and Game 7. If the ’24 Mets can do the same, they’ll keep alive their dream of winning the franchise’s first World Series championship in 38 years.

Mets season comes to an end in LA.
Dodgers won the NLCS in Six games, 4 games to 2

Final Score: LAD 10 -- NYM 5










Los Angeles outscored New York 40-26 in the six games. The Mets came within two wins of reaching the World Series after overcoming a 22-33 start and earning the NL’s last wild card.

“This should be our expectations moving forward every year, we should be playing games deep into October,” first year-manager Carlos Mendoza said.

Disappointing but considering this was supposed to be a throwaway season how can you think this was anything but great? We're talking real Mets baseball well into October, it feels great.

The young guys look promising. Go all in on bullpen and starting pitching and we'll hopefully be right back here a year from now.

can nym afford alonzo to a big conract?

Depends on what team owner (Steve Cohen) wants to do...and how much he would dole out for a short term deal.
They also have a few other free agent targets in mind, and plans to upgrade the pitching rotation and bullpen.

It was a really darn good season all things considered.
Far exceeding expectations.
This offseason will be interesting to say the least, and I already can’t wait for spring training.
