Zack Wheeler vs Tylor Megill



Also, my stomach versus the ESPN broadcast booth

[MFS62]

Alvarez has three homers in his last five games.

I wonder where he'll bat in the lineup.

Zack Wheeler is a tough opponent but I really am hopeful that the Mets can deny the Phillies the chance to celebrate an NL East title at Citi Field. Pack up your champagne and go drink it at your next stop, ya bums

Or, you know, just keep carrying it.

[The Hot Corner]

The Mets bench is really thin on left handed bats, but I would give Winker the start at DH over Martinez. Wheeler is a tough assignment and Winker hasn't been hot of late, but Martinez looks absolutely lost and overmatched the past month (or more).

Vientos needs a day imho



Acuna can play third so that's something



I think we are going to see an abundance of mix and match today



Leading to a Mets win of course



Wheeler Schmeeler, we have Tylord!!

Closing Night for the home schedule and the opening of possibilities as October approaches. I will be there in hopefully lucky 508.

[ashie62]

It seems like a long long time since Buck Showalter managed the Mets



Possibly last game at Citified this



A win today would go FAR to ensure more games at Citified

[batmagadanleadoff]

If the Mets make the playoffs,, they'd likely have to advance to the Divisional Round to play more home games. Unless the Mets finish the season with the best Wild Card team record in the NL (the #4 seed), they'll be the road team for the entire best of three Wild Card round. Under the current playoff format, the higher seeds are the home teams in every first round game.

Atlanta wins. This game just got bigger.

[ashie62]

I'm getting the feeling Lindor may not be coming back, at all til 2025



Lindor got a "facet" shot in his back



One part Lidocaine one part cortisone



I get this combo fairly often and it does help with the little I'm asked to do

[Cowtipper]

My crystal ball says the Mets won't win this one.

Well, if we're gonna vibe, I say Zach goes off the mound sniffling

after 2 1/3 with the Phillies down 6-zippo.

[metirish]

Noteworthy

[Frayed Knot]

Game to start on ESPN2 (hope you didn't set to record on ESPN)



btw, it's Fan Appreciation Day at CitiField, and to show you how much they appreciate you they moved it to a night game

(and, yes, I realize that the Mets didn't do this but the result is the same)



Oh, and Happy Equinox day

Call me crazy, but with Lindor hurting and Acuña doing a better than serviceable job at short, I wonder if it wouldn't be a bad idea to try Lindor in right field. He has the arm and enough athleticism to play anywhere, and RF is much less demanding physically than short.

Padres, D-Bags already won today as well. The heat is on

Nope...Brew Crew came back from 8-0 to win 10-9 over Arizona. DBacks are fading and close out the season against the Giants and Padres, and we hold the tiebreaker.

[Edgy MD]

Soft contact getting the Mets into a first-inning hole.



Surprised Jeremy Hefner is making a mound visit.



(Technically, he's visiting the pitcher. The mound is incidental to the visit.)
