Plawecki will travel with the team to ATL - don't know if there's any shot he plays (guessing not much of one) but he's got to be at least getting closer if that's the case.
This series has fucking sucked so far and ATL isn't going to be easier. We need to salvage this thing tonight and leave off on a good note.
Big difference being 4 games up after tonight rather than 2.
Let's grind one out, boys.

The Mets have a disappointing culture but to act like that culture can not be improved on and changed is not accurate. Look at the Cubs, Astros, Nationals
I guess my point is, that getting the fans to buy into a changed culture takes time. It certainly isn't going to happen over a 13 game span off mostly decades of disappointment with a year or two of success sprinkled in.
Cubs and Astros both won a WS. That goes a long way to helping change the culture. And furthermore, they continue their winning ways helping to cement that culture. Not sure why the Nats are there. Their fans are just as nuts and the Nats have won squat.
The Mets reach the postseason once every ten years. And they typically suck horribly every year in between. Win the division for a couple of years in a row, maybe win a WS...sustain any type of actual success and THEN fans will buy into a culture change. Just like the Cubs.
Just like the Astros. Until then, this is what the Mets Franchise has earned.
Yeah that one looks like it may have been a miss. Drew Smith is interesting, but O'Neil is crushing the ball.
Yes, agreed. I think he would have been safe even if the throw was caught cleanly, but it would have been close. Nice base running.
