NCLS Game 4 10/17/24 IGT Dodgers vs Mets 8:08

[Frayed Knot]

FOX just (very briefly) flashed up a stat showing that the Dodgers have had 2x as many ABs as the Mets w/RiSP and 4x as many hits.



If that don't 'splain this series I'm not sure that anything else will

[Edgy MD]

Or two next inning.



Young back out to spare the rest o' the pen. I think Acuña is their next pitcher.

[Edgy MD]

"YOU ALL FUCKING SUCK!!" yells a fan who appears to regret his ticket-purchasing decision.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah, calm down, Greg

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Big rally here. Don't miss it

[batmagadanleadoff]

Mark Vientos will hit a HR to make it 10-3. Yay.

[Frayed Knot]

Stat cited as the Inning closed there: this was the first 'clean' inning for the Mets since the 4th inning in game 3



So, iow, no clean innings for the last 13!!!!! for NYM pitching.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Alvarez should put on upside down crosses, and devote himself to the devil

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Getting something going here!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Go get em tomorrow 💪

[Chad ochoseis]

I hat baseball.

[Edgy MD]

Tomorrow, the Mets will have the Dodgers responding as if they were covered in tarantulas.



I have foreseen it.

[Centerfield]

If there is any silver lining here maybe it's that Stearns and Cohen have seen how far the Mets are from being the team to beat.



We got our asses kicked. Ok. Now let's build a team that can compete with these guys.



It starts with Soto.

[Gwreck]

I'm not sure they win this series but I do think they have fight in them to send it back to LA, and I'll take that small victory. And I do agree this is a stark reminder that the Mets are not as good as they have seemed at times.



Lot of bad ju-ju at the park tonight, alas. Fans tried hard but this was a tough one. You can only lose the game once. Let's win tomorrow.

[G-Fafif]

I can report that it was indeed cold and late at Citi Field tonight. Also rather futile. Still, I feel lucky to have experienced 2024 Mets postseason baseball up close. Never saw it coming five months ago.



Let's at the very least inconvenience L.A. and make them play a little longer.

Watching the Mets last night reminded me of the line in the movie Blazing Saddles, "Are we doing anything meaningful here , or are we just j--king off?"
