Welcome to this best-of-five National League Division Series thread between the 6th seeded Mets (89-73) & the 2nd seeded N.L. East Champion Phillies (95-67). The Mets beat the Brewers by the hairs on their chinny-chin-chins in the NLWS two days ago
despite losing the season series to them during the regular season. The Phillies, like the Brewers, won the regular season series against the Mets
7 games to 6. The Mets will be looking for some payback against the Phillies the same way they did against the Brewers. Click
HERE to read a preview of this Playoff Series. Enjoy 😊!

Quote:
please score this time with the bases loaded
If we don’t we deserve to lose this series
Reminds me of an announcer for the 1990 NFC championship game:
'if the Giants can't score a TD, they don't deserve to go to the SB'.
Same
Just need to make sure we get the right Diaz out there.
just wishful thinking.....
This is about winning not revenge and being cognizant that Game 5 still looms. If you can avoid pitching Diaz more than 1 inning today that would be ideal, but not at expense of blowing this game.
Never thought I'd say that, but I think it's the right move.
Same! I didn't think Mendoza would really do it though.

Have Diaz ready but Peterson looks good and got through the heart of the order.
Same! I didn't think Mendoza would really do it though.
I think had Stott led off it would be different, but with Realmuto I can see going to Diaz
I mean, quick hook.
here comes the HR. You just know it.
I don't know... the closer has to close I guess
see you Philly!
On to the NLCS, 1st time in 9 years.
