Rookie mistake by Acuna. Took a turn towards second. We wouldn't have got any runs, but would have forced deGrom's pitch count up a little more.

I swear to God, Luke Jackson better not be on the postseason roster.

 

[Hitman Hart]

lmao best strike in ML history right there

 

[Mistaken4193]

Damn, Freddie almost got it.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Luke Jackson fucking sucks.

 

[Chewbaccer]

With the way deGrom is pitching and we really not having anything to play for, that might be ball game.

Maybe the Mets are looking to shit deGrom down early since they're playing for nothing. Why risk injury to their greatest asset?

 

[Mistaken4193]

Damn, that McNeil is pretty good.

 

[Chewbaccer]

So much for deGrom getting pulled early. He's gonna go out for the 8th. He might finish the job tonight.

Blame Newk. He needed to do a better job with his pitch count.

I have a gut feeling he will be. Snit and AA love his strikeout rate, but when he doesn't get a strikeout he gives up big hits or walks the yard.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Aint nothing you can do about that....deGrom is just fucking ridiculous

I went to the clinching game Saturday, and the day game a few days before on Wednesday.

They were enjoyable, but I'm not a fan of the DJ and loud-ass music they're constantly pumping into the stadium. I also can't stand the drumline outside the stadium.

 

[Mistaken4193]

That was destroyed.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Well, as well as deGrom has pitched against us all year, I guess he deserves a win for his troubles, and if he's gonna get one, I'm glad it came after we had already clinched.

 

[Chewbaccer]

If the Mets pen blows this, I wouldn't blame him for throwing his teammates under the bus.

DBacks beat Dodgers....ROCKIES BACK IN FIRST!!!

Brewers play the Tigers while the Cubs play the Cardinals who are still fighting for a playoff spot. There's a real chance the Wild Card Game will be Cubs vs Dodgers with the Brewers being the top seed in the NL.

I'm not saying we'll win, but I'll take my chances with the Rockies in the NLDS. We would have been 4-3 against them this year if we had a real closer, and we have Viz back now and he looks better than he ever has.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Phillies won't even finish above .500. They were 15 games above .500 on August 8th.

What a fall.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I know this game means nothing. Even though we're mathematically alive, we're 3 games back with 4 games left(counting tonight) of the top seed.

And I have no problem with Freddie getting the game off. He's earned it. But I am annoyed that Ryan Flaherty is playing first base instead of Lucas Duda though.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Adam Duvall instead of Lane Adams in the lineup too.

We traded for Adam Duvall in July. He hasn't got a single RBI for us. That's impossible. Pretty sure Julio Teheran has homered since then.
