Playoff wins feel good.

I don’t remember what this feels like

As an aside RE: Ueck, kind of concerning if he wasn't calling games at home of this magnitude.

I haven't seen, but Tobias has got to be getting the ball tomorrow, right?

I'm fully expecting Nick Mears.

The Mets had several opportunities to really blow this game open. Credit to the bullpen for hanging tough where they needed to and always keeping us within striking distance.

Perkins is my underrated hero of the night. He needs to start tomorrow (and probably will against Quintana, who terrifies me from the Cubs days). Devin being efficient means he should be good to go for 30 pitches. Two innings if you have to.

Megill and Payamps get credit for putting up some big zeroes. Koenig and Ross too. Props to the bullpen. You'll be needed again tomorrow.

I'll be staying away from the game thread again, at least until after the game. My biggest hope is twofold:

1) That the Mets start to feel the pressure a little.

AND

2) More importantly, that we play loose. The Mets were the more relaxed team in Game 1 and early on today. We need to cut out the silly mistakes. Play good defense! Get more aggressive on the base paths. Speed and assertiveness are who we are. Let's be ourselves and at least go out on our terms if that's what's in the cards. I know it's tough against the lefties, but I want to see more SB attempts and more speed on display.

This one feels good.

I took a half day and got a ticket. I will be at the proverbial village gate to fight if this is indeed it.

If we live until tomorrow, will likely do the same. 

Not until the fat lady...

Living the skinny life. Lost my voice. Was doing snow angels in the concourse after the GM swing. 

Rest easy tonight friends. Tomorrow we battle again and then we party into the weekend. I love this team.

Come on Tobias.

[Brian]

6 days rest at 12 midnight for Tobias Meyers. BEAST!

Why not Mitchell? 

This is in no way directed at you -- but I just feel like Mitchell gets underappreciated. 

Garrett Mitchell has a career 121 OPS+. He was a 2 WAR player this year in less than 200 ABs, he's got a slick glove, cannon arm, great speed, and pop in his bat. Does a little bit of everything.

He's a hell of a player and I feel like we don't always see him that way. 

I just didn't think he was going to hit a HR.

I was confident Chourio could. Mitchell swings and misses and he just hadn't been great there in big spots...I wasn't predicting a HR in that spot from him. 

[edfunderburk]

I had a work-related interruption & had to pause the game down 3-1 in the 8th

What a surprise come back to watch the win on delay 

So, we live to fight another day 👏⚾️

[markedman5]

I love Megill

 

[willie key]

Thank god for the young guys showing up

 

enough of the bad errors, mental mistakes, not hustling.    We survived that garbage.   Now actually play baseball tomorrow.   We are owed that

Doing my best.  You're welcome.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

By the way, if Jackson wants to get on a full Arozarena, I'd be down with that.

[willie key]

If they do pitch Quintana at least we won’t have the Bauers and Hoskins lineup

 

it Will be interesting what they do with Mitchell/frelick

Oh. Guess I overthought your statement then. 😂

We got a game in San Diego.   Atlanta down one 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Just regarding luck in the playoffs:

Mitchell smoked that ball, but a little lower and it's MAYBE an RBI double. Or maybe not.

Pete Alonso tripping on a bat in the first might have been a huge play.

You just never know the weird things that turn these crazy games.

I’m ok with putting up 10 runs in the first two innings tomorrow and taking that out of play.  😀😀😃😀

Our season has lasted at least 1 game longer than the Orioles…….even after they went “ all in” for Burnes…

Lol. I committed to volunteering at my kid's school from 2:45-3:30 tomorrow.

Here's hoping the Padres hang on.
