Playoff Opponent Options

Not sure if this was discussed before, but would it be terrible manners for whoever wins game one toforfeit game two? This would keep both the Mets and the Braves a little bit more fresh, but absolutely be terrible sportsmanship for Arizona.

[Team Canada]

If you're a Padres fan you definitely want the Mets to come back so that Atlanta has to throw Sale in G2.

MLB would never allow it.

Mets take the lead 

[Team Canada]

What a collapse.

[markedman5]

Well that escalated quickly 

[Underachiever]

Shocking! 6 runs in the8th! Ignited by Tyrone Taylor.

[SeaBass]

6 run 8th by the Mets. Now let's see a Braves comeback, Mets use up some leverage RPs and end up having to play for the win in game 2.

I want to see the winner of the first game of Monday's doubleheader have the raucous champagne celebration, then come out for Game 2 intoxicated.

I've been watching the Mets feed for today's game. They mentioned that MLB said no team can celebrate until after the 2nd game. So you could have both the losing and winning teams celebrate at the end of the day.

Come on, Braves. Tie game 1 back up.

[Team Canada]

Diaz on for a 5-out save, what could go wrong?

[brooks_quichenick]

What a play by Alonso only for Diaz to not hustle to first, boy oh boy

[Matt]

Diaz deserves to get torn to shreds for that play if the Mets end up Mets'ing.

LOL.

[Brewcrew82]

Best day ever for Brewers and Padres fans.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

LOL this game is insane

[RightFieldCoder]

We're not to the 9th inning in game 1 and both closers have a blown save.

[Vgmastr]

Man, this is going to be a massive gut punch to whichever fanbase loses this game.

[brewerfan82]

Well this is certainly an entertaining game, lol

Well, its shaping up that way.    As long as the Mets don't somehow blow game 2 vs a team not even trying.  If there's ever a Mets thing to do, its that 

ETA: realized you might've posted that when NYM was still ahead so a bit different

[wiguy94]

Maybe throwing Diaz up 5-0 yesterday was a mistake haha. Asking a guy to get a 5 out save the day after throwing 26 pitches is insane!

True but it doesn’t matter if they win the next game 

[yfinn6]

Now NY coming back and taking the lead prompting the Braves to use Sale in Game 2 would be wild.
