SS Lindor
2B McNeil
3B Escobar
DH Vogelbach

P Max Scherzer
The Mets offense misses Marte in the worst way, as there is a huge dropoff from Marte to Naquin.
No. But much needed. Hopefully an easy inning so max can go 7

arcia was a must with the top coming up so that was a good start. i dont think he's going to get through the order more than 1 more time so hopefully he can just do that.
they are all going to be a grind. pretty sure it's going to go from max to lugo to otto to diaz. and it's possible they need more than 1 from all of them.
have to hope the offense can give some breathing room along the way.
Yeah so called that
Didn't feel like it at all yesterday..
Wake the fuck up, bats!!
We didnt get what we needed from either ace, now the hitters have to get the job done
It has all season. Escobar got hot so they moved him up, so it still sucks.
DH remains a huge black hole.

Nevermind
We wnated another dependable RP., instead we got Givens.
I love Scherzer, and I think he's worth every penny of Cohen's money,
but we needed more.
We got Ruf, and Naquin, and Vogelbach, etc,
We wanted, and needed caviar, we got tuna fish.
Oh well.

So a kingdom was lost—all for want of a nail"
+1. Me too. If you're gonna go, go all the way.

agree on all - also think they ended up screwing over the prospects by putting them in a no win position. neither vientos or alvarez got near enough at bats to do anything but fail. and for what? they clearly didn't see much value in JDD or Dom.
i expect to see some rally in this game but atlanta has the talent in the BP to stop rallies.
I dont know why they would think that way, but so many decisions have pointed this way, and the hitters have had no urgency at all
Now deGrom and Scherzer didnt seem to bring the intensity they usually do

They dug their own hole. Yes, they deficiencies hit mentioned are all real. But this team got SWEPT AT HOME by the cubs, and only managed a split of MIA (and took a miracle comeback to get that split).
They should have been at least 3 up on ATL when this series started. But they pissed it away.
They have no one to blame but themselves.
it feels like such a fail that's even part of the equation right now.

We wanted a bone fide hitter, at both times, instead we got Escobar, Canha, et al. We wanted Schwarber, or Bryant, or someone like that.

+1. Totally agree Speedy, The Chicago series was the harbinger of what is now.
Alonso and Lindor need to do something here. Hit the ball hard somewhere in the outfield.
+1.
Agree, but we're in this mess because the lineup isn't reliable enough. The Braves spent all season swinging at everything and mashing HRs. And now they're working out pitches to crush from our aces and 3 runs down is too much to recover from.
Why would it go any other way? We're Mets fans..should have expected this!
Win tomorrow, then it comes down to who beats up better on Marlins/Nats
Hopefully bassitt can do tomorrow what the “aces” couldn’t
2 aces can't get it done in the biggest moment

We arent winning tomorrow.
Braves 177 HR
Mets 115 HR
Mcneil,
Escobar,
DH (guillorme?),
Canha,
Naquin
Catcher (vientos?)
assume the first 3 will presumably face iglesias the last 3 will face jansen.
if a guy is on ahead of a PH'er I assume it will go to Vientos to bring the long ball into play. if nobody is on i'd imagine it goes to guillorme to hopefully get someone on ahead of Nimmo or Canha to try to tie it.
