    Seems like it's time for Gore to get an AB or two. I'm also in favor of some time in the field for Vogelbach.

    “73 is the record in my book. No matter what people want to say about that era of baseball, for me, they went out there and hit 73 homers and 70 homers, and that to me is what the record is.” -A. Judge

    We could add some AL teams to this chart for purposes of potential tiebreaks for home field advantage. Mets are: 4 games behind Houston (5 because of a loss in the season series) 3 games ahead of NYY (season series split; Mets up +4.5 in second tiebreak, intradivison record) 10.5 games ahead of TOR (Magic number is 3) CLE, SEA, TB, BAL, CWS cannot finish with a better record than the Mets.

    With the Mets and the Braves having such good records, there exists a reasonable possibility that despite being a “wild card” team, they could enter the NLCS with the best record. Consider this scenario: -Mets are first wild card (#4 seed) -Dodgers lose in division series (to Mets) -Cardinals win other division series (as #3 seed). Who gets home field advantage in the LCS? Mets would have (1) the better season record and (2) won the season series with STL. I found a 2018 article from old friend Ted Berg indicating that a Wild Card team could never have home field advantage in the LCS: https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/10/its-dumb-that-mlb-wild-card-teams-cant-have-home-field-advantage-in-the-lcshttps://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/10/its-dumb-that-mlb-wild-card-teams-cant-have-home-field-advantage-in-the-lcs It's unclear if any of this changed for 2022, however. Note that this rule did give the Mets home field advantage in the 2015 NLCS. (Not that it really mattered, given the sweep).

    I was wondering when that was going to go up. Odd it took them so long (not to retire it generally, but to actually put the number up after retiring it 4 weeks ago).

    All 3 Oakland starters are lefties this weekend, ruling out Dom Smith. I don't think there is anyone else on the 40 man roster who hits right handed. Ronny Mauricio is a switch hitter but better hitting lefty. I think you start Ruf and hope for the best? Agree that Vientos looks overmatched/not ready.j

    Meneses: 2 run homer for Washington. 3-2, top 7

    Interesting outfield alignment with Canha in center and Naquin in right.

    Someday again we'll reduce this by 2 in a single day.

    2015 Cubs: Kyle Schwarber Anthony Rizzo Also from the Dodgers: Kenley Jansen.

    I remember Ramon may have started the last game at Shea (and several other games that week). Luis Castillo was hurt? Bad? Both?

    I am stumped. Johnny Cueto was on the 2015 Royals and 2016 Giants (and may well have been on the wild card game roster) but of course didn't play in the game.

    Andre Eithier, also on the 2015 Dodgers.

    How about….baserunning genius JD Drew?

    Maddux is the hall of famer. Started Game 3 of the 2006 Division Series for the Dodgers.

    Does the St. Louis number reflect the win in the season series (and therefore tiebreak in the Mets' favor in the event of a tie?)

    Buck could go with Lugo/Ottavino/Diaz but instead is going Megill.

    it's a a good 100 minutes after the end of the "typical" work day. If you need more time than that to get to the park, you're likely outside the target area. And it's not like the rush hour gets better for 7:10. The “normal” work day does not end at 5 PM for many (most?) New Yorkers. And, Mets fans clearly disagree with your assessment. Fans-in-seats numbers for 7:10 starts are considerably lower than they are at 7:30. Change the start time and that problem gets worse.
