Series Thread NY Mets (87-69) at Atlanta Braves (85-71), Sept 24-26

[Illustrious Potentate]

Dbacks lost again, so everybody stays in the same order for now. Mets still control own destiny but need wins. Last night was just one of those nights that you forget about the next day, hopefully.

Vientos and Iglesias keep raking and Acuna got robbed of a 2-4 night, but nobody else could figure out Schwuttlebutt

If today and tomorrow get rained out, there’s also a good chance y’all avoid Sale.

If there’s any way possible to get in a game tonight, they will, but the forecast is pretty bad and tomorrow’s is worse

Should have played a sunrise game today. Gonna be a nice day until around noon

Yeah, we know they're not going to move the game up because they don't want to lose the gate money, but they're going to lose it anyway. MLB should step in and tell them to do a double header with 7 inning games.

Forecast was known. Both teams were off Monday. Should have played one on Monday, and a double header yesterday, then both take a couple days off before the final weekend series

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

Is there anyways they could have a double header tomorrow at a different location?

Like I’d be fine with having the games in New York, Braves just bat last and teams split gate revenue

I remember the Blue Jays were the home team against the Phillies for a series in Philadelphia in 2010 or 11 when some summit was being held in Toronto

I'd be fine with all that, if the teams could safely fly out of Hartsfield. But flights might be grounded soon, too

It’s a clusterfuck.

It’s supposed to be out of here before game time on Friday, but it’s gonna storm up until around 5, so Royals probably won’t even be able to get into town

Likely double header Saturday against the Royals and another double header on Monday against the Mets

This is why I think all stadiums should either be domes or have retractable roofs unless they’re in some shit hole like LA where it never rains(I love rain, just don’t like it effecting baseball games)

We got your back, Chewy.

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

I don’t know what it’s doing at Truist, but I’m around 50 or so miles north and we just got 2 inches in like 30 minutes and it’s still coming down

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

And it’s official, tonight’s game and tomorrow are postponed

They knew Helene’s path and the forecast. Both teams were off Monday.

Could have played Monday and a noon start today and got the series in, now you’re looking at a double header on Monday

Well fuck

 

[Hu War Yu]

All right. Guess we'll let other teams do our dirty work in the meantime

At this point, I hope we sweep the Royals, y’all sweep the Brewers and Padres sweep the Dbacks so the games Monday would only determine seeding. Trot out a couple AAAA pitchers.

I’d rather get the final spot and have Sale, Fried and Scwellenbach ready to go than get the second spot and have Charlie Morton lined up for game one

Uhhh no. It’s the Mets. Dream scenario is we end their season in game 1 (preferably a walk off) on Monday just so they have to sit through game 2 knowing they have no shot.

I mean what the hell are we talking about here?

The WC round starts Tuesday and we’re likely playing a double header on Saturday too.

At some point even if we get in are we gonna have to trot out Grant Holmes for game 1?

Best case is Arizona collapsing so in or out isn’t a question

None of that matters. The world is a much better place when the Mets fail miserably. That’s a scientific fact.

Go Mats, yo

Sure. But not when it’s also to our detriment

 

[antone112]

Pitching won’t be our downfall.

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

All comes down to today’s double header

If the games are split, both teams are in. If either team sweeps, the loser is out

Braves win one game or both, they’re the second WC team

Mets win one game, they’re the 2nd, if they split they’re the 3rd

Braves are either 2nd or out

 

[Hu War Yu]

Mets win one game, they’re the 2nd, if they split they’re the 3rd

I think you meant if they win both games, they'd be second, if they split, they're 3rd. No way they sweep in Atlanta but good chance they lose both. It would be fitting.

Stupid D-bags had to go and win yesterday
