NY Mets September 2019

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The Nats beat the Phils earlier in the 1st game of their DHer, which eliminated them from the WC hunt.

If the Mets lose this game, and the Brewers win their game with Cincy....we'll also be eliminated.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Fish are tacking on against Thor.
They already have 10 hits.
It's now 4-0, mid 5th.

Geeez..nothing like giving up and just going thru the motions with the possibility of elimination looming.

Way to rally the troops, Mickey.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Thor's day is done...he only lasted 5 innings.

Jed Lowrie sent up to PH for him w/ 2 outs in the 5th....

...and he K's.

Onto the 6th....Mets down 4-0.

Chris Mazza takes over for Noah.

edit:
Mazza K's the side in order...on 14 pitches.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets don't do diddly in the home 6th, except a single by McNeil. Why is Cano even still in this game??

He whiffed on 3 straight pitches.

LOL

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mazza gave way to Luis Avilan in the 7th, w/ 2 on & 2 outs...and he got out of it.

Stretch time....Mets down 4.
Time to drop a deuce or GTF Off the pot, guys.

Also....Milwaukee is leading their game in the 9th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets finally on the board..thanks to a JD Davis leadoff double and a Michael Conforto 2 run blast (HR #32) in the 7th.

4-2 game.


LGM!!!


Ugghhh.....Nimmo w/ the hat tricKkk tonight.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Seth Lugo tosses a 1-2-3 inning.
4-2...mid 8th.


The Brewers beat Cincy....so the Mets elim# is now down to 1.
Win this game, it stays at 1.
If they lose, they'll be officially eliminated.

I'm sure they're watching the scoreboard and already know the shituation.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets go quietly 1-2-3 in the 8th.

They are now only 3 outs away from WC elimination.

Only thing to play for now is getting to a winning record.
1 more win this week would accomplish that and give them 82 on the season.

Also would love to see Pete tie or break the MLB rookie season HR record. He's 2 away from tying Aaron Judge at 52.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Heading to the bottom of the 9th.
Last chance for the Amazin's.
They trail 4-2.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow!

Mets not dead just yet.

JD Davis leadoff single....Michael Conforto another 2 run bomb.
(his 33rd) ties the game 4-4.



LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Damn.....Mets had the winning run at 2nd w/ 2 outs.

Oh well.

Onto the 10th...4-4 tie.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Good job, guys.
The win has ensured a winning record.
Mets stayin' alive for another meaningful game.
Amazin's fend off elimination for at least 1 more day.

The Wrap:
Mets avoid elimination on walk-off walk in 11th

Marlins vs. Mets - Game Preview - September 25, 2019 - ESPN

What they're up against, and what needs to be done.


To reach the playoffs, the New York Mets have to win Wednesday. Then win again Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And they'll need the Milwaukee Brewers to lose Wednesday. Then lose again Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

And even if all that happens, all the Mets would get out of it is a one-game playoff on Monday to determine the second National League wild-card team.

Amed Rosario's GR rbi double makes it 8-0 Mets in the 3rd.

edit:
Unfortunately for us...the Reds are laying down like dogs.
Brewers are ahead 8-2 in the 6th in Cincy.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Although we're comfortably ahead 9-0 at the 7th inning stretch...we're also about 2 innings away from being eliminated from the WC race, because....
.....Milwaukee is also leading their game 9-2 in Cincy in the 8th.
