IGT 8/25 Purple Padre Eaters Mets vs Padres 4:10 WPIX

[Edgy MD]

Does Booty return to start the bottom of the eighth?

[Frayed Knot]

I smell Maton.

[ashie62]

Butto butt

[Frayed Knot]

Bad Butto! Bad.

[The Hot Corner]

Ahead 1-2 to the #9 hitter and he throws 3 straight "no doubter" balls to bring the tying run to the plate.

[The Hot Corner]

Walks kill. Just like that it's all tied up.

[ashie62]

Tied

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Rats. Walks always seem to bite them in the butt. Butto just as not been sharp lately.

[The Hot Corner]

Hell of an effort by Lindor on Bogaert's grounder in the hole, but his throw was just a little too late.

[ashie62]

What a disappointing inning



Sack up

[kcmets]

Everyone knew this game would suck about an hour ago. Right?

[The Hot Corner]

Saurez was throwing some serious heat, most of it on the black, in the 9th.

[ashie62]

First things first



Shut the Padres down here and now

[Gwreck]

Going to need 2 innings from Diaz.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Brightside: Lindor, with speed and baserunning smarts, is the free runner if we can keep this going.



OE: Nevermind.

Helpful, but they need 2 in the 10th, so the speed of the lead runner is less relevant.

[ashie62]

Horrible loss, just horrible

[The Hot Corner]

Unfortunately, hitting with men in scoring position is not exactly a strength of the Mets.



Not tht it really matters as Merrill just takes one deep to right for a Pdres walk-off.

[metirish]

Well that sucked

[kcmets]

Season over. Mark the date... August 25th.

[Frayed Knot]

Big difference between a 3-1 series win and a 2-2 series split.

Also went from a potential 5-2 vs BAL & SDP to 4-3

Braves lost today, so while we had a chance to gain ground and lost it, we didn't lose any ground.

[MFS62]

I think we can lose the purple stuff.

Later

[Fman99]

Sucked a lot

Watching this one now.



Can't believe it's been a week (ish) already since Quintana last started. Anyway, I know how it ends, so I'll put this here. Quintana, despite his August struggles, his pitched like a solid number three or number four pitcher for the majority of the year.



Through the end of April, his ERA was 3.48. He was roughed up in May to the tune of a 7.20 ERA, but from...



May 16 to today, he's 5-5 with a 3.91 ERA and .227 OBA in 18 starts.



June 15 to today, he's 5-4 with a 3.53 ERA and .213 OBA in 13 starts.



July 4 to today, he's 3-4 with a 4.06 ERA and .216 OBA in 10 starts.



His August has been rough, but he's been solid as a whole.

[Benjamin Grimm]

If the Mets get to the World Series, are you going to watch each game two or three days later?

[Cowtipper]

I watch my Mets games in batches, I have too much other stuff to do to set aside three hours a night to watch a Mets game.



But if they make the World Series, I would likely watch each one as it happens, hopefully.

[Cowtipper]

Well, I finished it.



What a bummer.



The Mets can't afford to lose like this.



The magic number for the Mets to get that last wild card spot, as it stands, is 35 or so. They have 31 games left, which means they have to be almost flawless, or the Braves have to be really, really bad, over the final month for the Mets to secure it.
