NFT: Mets chat - Off Day today; A's tomorrow; ATL/PHI play later

The way the matchups are, it would be a big advantage to win the East

And yet another black mark on the Sandy Dumbass ledger, pissing off deGrom

in case it hadn't been shared yet.

that is good news. hopefully he doesn't miss more than a few games...

Scratched, back tightness. Not rooting for injuries just pointing this out

I'm not as caught up in winning the division as others here. Don't get me wrong, it'd be great, but it's not the end of the world if the Bravos finish ahead of us. I don't think they will, but hey, who knows. It's more important to me that we get things right for the postseason. Start resting guys and nurse the various injuries already (but get them key AB's to remain sharp and still have their timing down!). Start planning the playoff rotations for the starters. Get the pen rested, but ready and sharp. Start thinking about the matchups. As far as I'm concerned we passed the big test against the Dodgers already a few weeks back. We CAN hang with them. As long as we don't lay an egg against the Bravos in the penultimate series, we'll be aight.

Hush your mouth! I have a $200 bottle of bourbon bet that we win the division. GET THAT BYE BOYS!!!

They may still yet lose, but at least they aren't rolling over tonight...

Bottom 8th just starting. Still 1-0, Phillies ahead. Phillies coming up to bat.

Phillies won, 1-0.

Mets need to take care of business and shut the door.

Now go take care of shit this weekend vs AAA A’s

Atlanta needed to win both the games in hand.

If the Mets enter the Atlanta series anything more than 1 game up, they only need to win 1 of 3 to exit the series in first place.

Gotta take care of our own business though, not like the Cubs series

And they have Nola going tomorrow night against Odorizzi.

It would be great if Phils take first two

No excuses, gotta sweep a team 40 games under .500 with the 2nd worst record in baseball

Braves are 76-34 with Acuna playing

17-22 without him

Yeah I know, no big mystery a team is better when it's best players are in the lineup but given how large the discrepancy was, it is noteworthy.

Braves have really good players but 42 games over with him playing and 5 under without shows how important he actually is to that team.

It's now imperative that they sweep the Triple A's in Oakland. Zero excuses for them not to, particularly with their Big 3 on the mound in Bassitt, deGrominator, and Scherzer (in that order). Hopefully the Phils can win a 2nd one too to help the Mets even more in case the Marlins win one of the two in New York next week on Tuesday or Wednesday. It looks like the Mets will miss Alcantara's turn in the Marlins' rotation since he's pitching Saturday against the Nats. Another HUGE assist.
