Just hope Familia is ready to go for Game #2 if needed.

Sure, no problem.



lol. Just on the phone with my brother and he said something familiar to that. No where near as funny.

Familia's two innings on Thursday were so efficient that it was essentially one inning (just 19 pitches total) so it's not like he's being subjected to abuse here.
Yeah, it is twice in three days now where it's get up, get some outs, sit down, then get up again. But think about how much we'd be kicking ourselves if we lost one of these last two games with Reed or Clippard on the mound because we were 'saving' Jeurys for the inning that never was.

What you say about the 2 innings on Thurs is reassuring. My concern is that the other guys won't be sharp if we need em. But if we can avoid using them? I'm all for that, no offense to Clip or Reed. I think we'd need a 3 run lead for me to even be able to breath with anyone on the mound save a starter or Familia (or Colon). And even then use em sparingly. I can't complain about how TC's doing it...as long as he gets away with it. He's playing to win.

I hope we get a chance to get those guys some innings with a blowout tomorrow night. If they get a couple good innings under their belts I can relax about that. I think.

Lester is supposed to be scary according to some things I've been reading. Pedro says Lester has pedigree. I don't see it.


4 runs in 7 innings for Lester. Not bad for an average to slightly above average pitcher.

Bobby keeps saying "we" when talking about the Mets. One time he said we and then corrected himself and said the Mets. Then he said we again for the rest of the segment.

I love it.

My first postseason game since Game 7 of '06 (division series was an unfortunate conflict). Great to be back at the game.

Crowd was a little bit more subdued than I expected. Not that they were quiet, but I guess part of it was the cold (people sitting on hands instead of clapping them). Rally towel waving is also not noise-producing activity. No acceptable excuse for people leaving early (on a Saturday night). I could theoretically understand it, maybe (but never accept it) if it was Sunday night but certainly not here.

Ceremonies, etc.:
Uribe, Tejada and Goeddel were all introduced with the team.
Loudest cheers went to Jacob deGrom, who got to tip his cap to the crowd twice and Murphy. Quietest in the starting lineup was Cuddyer but fortunately there were no boods.
Keith was fantastic with the first pitch; wore a jersey rather than that mink coat.

Game strategy:
Didn't like the Harvey bunt in the bottom of the 5th, with 1 out and runners at 1st and 2nd. Just swing away.

Especially didn't like pulling Harvey for Familia with two out and no runners on in the top of the 8th.
a. I would have just left Harvey in (he was at 97 pitches)
OR
b. I would have gone to Clippard for Bryant. Back him up with Gilmartin/Niese against Rizzo if Bryant had reached.

I did not like using Familia for extra outs that he really didn't need to get.


The homers were great. As was Cespedes' throw and Lagares' baserunning. Fantastic to get game 1.

echo much of what gwreck said, including the first game sine 7 in '06.

I didn't notice people leaving early but was harder to tell from centerfield.

I think it's neat how empty the food lines are with a full stadium after the game starts. I managed to get a beer, a bathroom break, and some tacos in less than an inning .

Most disappointing fans of the night: the ones who passively allowed Rizzo to reach 6 rows deep to catch Cespedes's foul pop.
That was the second of two consecutive foul pops which were right in front of d'Arnaud's HR. Nothing could have been done about the first one over on the 3rd base side, but that second one was clearly in fan territory and could have -- Should have -- been prevented from ever getting to Rizzo and there would have been no chance of interference on the play.

I know! I was thinking the exact same thing. I blame Jeff Wilpon for not properly instructing the fans.

I like the clubs goat caption best and I'd go with the darker colored card, it looks more like a vintage card, at least on my screen

I agree for the most part that it's the number of pitches, not the number of innings that stress a pitchers arm. But I do think for a closer there is something to be said about coming in, pitching one inning and being done, as opposed to sitting between innings, cooling off and warming up again on the mound. I think the latter scenario can be more stressful. Especially for a pitcher that's used to only warming up once and doing the first scenario.

That said, bringing in Familia in yesterday was my second choice. I would've given Harvey another chance at the third out. Maybe Terry didn't want to potentially bring Familia in with a runner on if the next guy got on against Harvey.

And I wouldn't have messed with any other relievers. If I go to the pen there just bring Familia in to close the door.

I'd also now seriously consider giving Familia game two off.

Of course if Clippard or Reed loses a one run lead in the ninth today I'm a moron

David has playing like Joe Boyd instead of Joe Hardy.
Gil Hodges once went 0-21 in a World Series, and a Priest of a congregation in Brooklyn exhorted his parishioners to pray for Gil. (The story may be apocryphal, I'm not sure)
I hope David can snap out of his slump far before Divine intervention is needed.

If Familia is unavailable tonight (and he might be) then I wouldn't be at all surprised if Colon was called upon to get a three- to six-out save.


I kind of like this. Hopefully with an at-bat and behind the back throw sprinkled in.
