2022 Wild Card Playoff Roster Thoughts

[nymr83]

I love that Nimmo of all people is in the pronunciation column. wonder if he lobbied the organization to include him so everyone says 'NIH-mo' more and stops with 'finding Nemo' jokes

[Lefty Specialist]

So were they sandbagging us all this time about Marte? Seems like they had no return date for him just a few days ago.

neither Carrasco or Walker.



Nyquin behind Gore and Ruf?

I'm guessing the thought process behind the game 2 mystery is all about game 1...if the Mets win game 1, then would it make sense to have deGrom pitch game 3 (hoping that we win game 2, and he would then pitch game 1 of the next series)...however, I would imagine that if we lose game 1, then deGrom would be a shoe-in for game 2

I would start deGrom Game 2 either way. Worry about the Padres first.

there's no way, unless you're gonna short rest him, that deGrom would start both games against the Dodgers if he's not pitching game 1 (and 5). Arguably if you burn deGrom now in the Wild Card, you start Scherzer on short rest in game 1 so you have him for 5. This way you still get 3 games of them right? I wonder if that possibility has Buck pull Scherzer earlier tonight than he would otherwise, particularly with a few run lead..

At least we'll know tomorrow that if deGrom doesn't start, there's an injury issue brewing.

[vtmet7]

on a positive note: the bullpen pitched 4 shutout innings, and Buck found a way to use all 3 catchers in the game
