They can win each and every day from here on



Likely Alvarez and Vientos get starts tonight



This is a different team without Marte

[smg58]

I agree about Marte, but all three starters were given leads.

basically meaningless games now, so just can 'em if it rains.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I assume it will be Walker on Tuesday and deGrom on Wednesday if the Mets and Braves are tied for first that morning. Otherwise, the Mets probably should start someone who won't be on the postseason roster. Don't know if they can get someone like Butto or Lucchesi on the roster for that last game.

Our entire lives are meaningless at this point.

Have there been any Marte updates? His absence is glaring.

Have there been any Marte updates? His absence is glaring.

Starling Marte (finger) remains without a timetable to return. The Mets' lineup simply hasn't been the same without Marte and his potential return remains a complete mystery. Some of the swelling in the veteran outfielder's fractured right middle finger has subsided, but not enough for him to grip a bat or a ball yet. It's possible that he'll be ready later this week when the Mets open the postseason, but he's running out of time to ramp up activity. There should be some clarity on his status once the regular season wraps up this week. SOURCE: MLB.com Oct 3, 2022, 11:12 AM ET

The amazin' thing is that he was initially kept on the roster for a few days, as if it was a day-to-day thingie, with speculation that he was available to do some tasks before he returned to the starting lineup.



The idea that he still can't grip a ball is ... a somber thought.

[G-Fafif]

Lineup for a rainy night that seems unlikely to include Mets baseball.

[G-Fafif]

At least one ticket-holding fan, upon looking out the window and at the Weather Channel app on his phone, has opted to call it a rainout, regardless of official hesitation.

I'm only happy when it rains



Marte cannot gip a bat or a ball sez Buck the other day

[whippoorwill]

Have you ever broken a finger? It hurts and then one day it stops. Give him time; he'll be back as soon as he can

It's supposed to rain Tuesday as well.



If the Braves win the division tonight or Tuesday, the Mets games would be meaningful only for home field advantage seeding in a potential WS matchup against the Yankees. Mets currently up half a game there and will have the tiebreaker with any 1 win against the Nationals.



Presumably a non-meaningful game could just be cancelled if weather continues to be a problem. Also, the Braves might lose, making the point moot.

Braves down 4-0 in the 6th
