All games for this series will be covered in this thread. The Dodgers had the best record in all of MLB during the regular season & beat the Mets during the regular season 4 times,
winning the regular season series 4 games to 2. The Mets will be looking for some payback against the Dodgers the same way they did against the Brewers & Phillies, who they also lost their regular season series against. Click

He needs to learn to work a count.
as long as he gives them to manaea it's to the mets benefit right now.

Keeps calling pitches strikes that bend around the plate.

It's been mostly dodgers. Manaea breakers didn't really bend around most of the time.
If I’m the hitting coach I’m telling him he’s not allowed to swing at the first 2 pitches. I don’t care if they are right down the middle
Rough defense there.
Blow this lead and I dont see how you bounce back from it.
Self sabotaging. Offense better get their bats going again after this inning.
Gonna be an adventure game. Cant lose this
Huge play!

Plus the walks. Can't do that.
Yup monster run! Huge SB from Alonso and timely hitting from Marte.
I am, but let's just hope nothing crazy happens.
Headed to queens with home field advantage now.

He should start off attacking with the FB. He gets himself in trouble.
The bottom of this lineup scares me. Any threat pretty much ends with Marte

got pissed off after the Ohtani walk. Hardest I've seen him throw all year.

it's like he doesn't have confidence for some reason. But his slider is less effective when he can't locate the FB, so I agree. Just go right after hitters with the heat.
Especially up 4 runs.
