Take the 1/2/3, or the A/C/E Uptown from Penn Station to 42nd St/Times Square. Once at 42nd/Times Square, jump on the 7 Train to Flushing/Main St. It'll stop right at the stadium

Wait... If you're coming from CT - are you taking Amtrak? If you're taking the Metro North, you'd be arriving in Grand Central, which you can then just skip the other steps in my other post and get on the 7 Train there

Dumb question. Can you still bring alcohol on Amtrak? Haven’t been on Amtrak since Harvey pitched for us. I know you could back then

Let's see the Mets come back and win this. Would be a huge statement
This has more to do with Walker pitching super shitty  
CooperDash : 8/5/2022 7:28 pm : link
than anything else. After Walker caught his spike, his next 6 or 7 pitches were in the mid to upper 80s mph.

Weird inning but Walker was all sorts of off. Sucks but hopefully we can claw back.
Welll...

it seems only Britton of the Athletic is there tonight. That is pathetic

Walker picked a great night to revert to last season 2nd half form

I mean anyone watching this game knows it Walker has absolutely nothing tonight. Tough to watch them give this one away.
Looks like we won't be needing Diaz today (even if he was available..)

Doubleheader tomorrow. He either uses the bullpen tonight and punts a game tomorrow, or punts tonight. Pick your poison

Is which Walker do we see from here on out?

Good thing Jake is back - just sayin....
I’ve yet to see Walker throw a pitch this inning  
CooperDash : 8/5/2022 7:48 pm : link
over 87 mph. Hope he’s not hurt but he’s definitely in lala land.

That last pitch was at 93, so who knows.

Probably best to do what he's doing. Keep Walker in.

Oh, I know. But 4 runs is manageable. And it was only the first.

Walker probably should not have come back out. Now we have to go to the BP anyway - but instead of it being a 4 run lead it’s now a 6 run lead and likely to be 7 or 8 before the inning ends.

Can’t give up the game in the first inning. Oh well. Bad situation all around.

Walker hit a wall last year as well  
Vanzetti : 8/5/2022 8:00 pm : link
Let's hope they are smart enough this year to put him on the DL rather than just run him out there to get shelled like they did last year.

From your mouth to gods ear - would love to see them bring back Peterson and put Walker on the shelf for now. Love the idea of Megill going to the pen when he gets back.

That was my thought too, Snitker is running scared, pulling his pitcher in the 5th inning with a 6 run lead.

...And it just got more interesting. 2 more runs just scored. 8-4.

Bad ABs by Marte and Nimmo failing to get a the runner to third from second with no outs. That's two small ball runs they left on the table

So, despite a horrendous performance from their starter, Mets were actually in the game.

And as Metnut predicted Braves had to use the big guns in their pen.

yeah he looked pretty dominant yesterday. with jansen only being under contract this year at the same AAV, iglesias likely just swaps in as their closer next year. that is an add the mets should have been involved in, especially knowing diaz is a FA, but the closest comps to the main prospect atlanta gave up would probably be either peterson or megill, so they didn't give up nothing.

was great to see the mets grind yesterday into a game but sucks to see that atlanta bp step up to shut things down when they needed to. i think the mets have the better team but atlanta is still quality.

I watched this part of the game...Minter was brought in to get Vogelbach out of the game

we had 2 on , and tying run at the plate while Vogelbach is hitting .134 against lefties.

Canha was the right move.

not sure how you can question this man.
