    http://potg.leaptoad.com/mets/images/warning.gif> http://potg.leaptoad.com/mets/Cast your votes now! Time to wrap this thing up. Voting for all remaining games from the 2025 season will close on Wednesday, October 8.

    I've been fluctuating between denial and acceptance. I figured they still might pull it out and stagger into the postseason (and an early exit) but I also came to terms with the notion that we'd end up disappointed. 2007 gnawed at me a lot more than 2025 did.

    Sproat and Tong are prospective free agents?

    I tend to agree with that. I won't be upset if Mendoza stays, and I won't be upset if he goes. There have definitely been times when I've questioned his pitching moves, as recently as yesterday. As Edgy said, sometimes it may have been Mendoza's decision, and sometimes it may have been because he was following orders (or policies) from upstairs. We really can't blame him for the lack of reliable pitchers, but I do think he could have made better (or at least less damaging) use of what he had. It looks like he'll be back. Okay. Whatever. Let's see what kind of players he gets. I do hope that Pete and Diaz return.

    I had technical difficulties yesterday; MLB.tv terminated my subscription one day early and I had to deal with customer service to get it turned back on. So I missed the first few innings. Was there a reason that Manaea was pulled after 1.2 scoreless innings and 38 pitches? I know he hasn't been terribly reliable lately, but pulling the starter in the second inning is awfully risky. And/or foolish.

    I'm done with baseball until Opening Day. Oh well.
  11. Benjamin Grimm
    The math, at least, is simple. We'ee down to four possible outcomes, one of which favors the Mets.
  12. Benjamin Grimm
    An exception never proves a rule. In fact, it DISproves it.
  13. Benjamin Grimm
    And the Reds score six runs in the third. 🤬
  14. Benjamin Grimm
    A Reds loss tonight would be fantastic. It would give the Mets two ways to clinch tomorrow. By simply winning, or by having the Reds lose.

    It seems you have mixed feelings about Cedric Mullins.

    Yesterday the Mets and Reds won, and the Diamondbacks lost. As we well know by now, both Arizona and Cincinnati have the tie-breaker advantage over the Mets, so the Mets have to finish with more wins than both teams in order to advance to the postseason. Mets Magic Number by team: Cincinnati Reds 3 Arizona Diamondbacks 2 If all goes well, or really, if enough goes well, the Mets could eliminate the Diamondbacks tonight and the Reds tomorrow. If that happens, they can get some Joey Lucchesi wannabe to start Sunday's game. [table][tr][th][/th][th]FanGraphs[/th][th]Baseball Reference[/th][/tr] [tr][th]Mets[/th][td]77.7[/td][td]68.3[/td][/tr] [tr][th]Arizona[/th][td]4.5[/td][td]2.1[/td][/tr] [tr][th]Cincinnati[/th][td]7.5[/td][td]20.2[/td][/tr][/table] With nine games remaining, there are 2^9 possible combinations of outcomes. That's 512. (Down significantly from the 32,768 from a few days ago!) Google Copilot tells me that the Mets end up with a playoff berth in 312 of those outcomes, a 60.9 percent chance if that's accurate.

    I recall the umpire saying that the call was upheld because the fielder fell into the stands. My take was the Counsell didn't understand the rule about the runners advancing automatically and that, somehow, was the basis of the challenge. I wasn't at all aware of that rule (but then again, I'm not a major league manager) and I was impressed that Gary Cohen immediately understood what was happening.
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    And the Cubs manager called for a review, claiming that he didn't fall into the stands. That was peculiar.

    This is a safe place. You can share your feelings.

    Maybe this will inspire Soto to hit seven homers in Miami this weekend. I'd welcome that!
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    Yes, I had missed that. But it's moot now. The Mets, with their 82nd win, have eliminated the Cardinals, Giants, and Marlins.
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    Dodgers are now up 8-0 over Arizona. (Two-run homer by Freddie Freeman.)
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    Meanwhile, Dodgers are up 4-0 over the Diamondbacks.
