Who do you like for the eighth? Joely? Mayday? Stick with Ottavino? Nogo?

Atlanta comes up empty in the first inning.

Mets 2-for-2 in challenging calls. Kind of made the last two innings each last 40 minutes, but hey!

No, he's got Wayne Randazzo with him, but they probably aren't spooning for warmth. Howie and Wayne both prefer The Munsters to The Addams Family. That's never an easy call.

Fair enough. His ass is freezing into a backwards position. Double-play + run saved + official game. Nothing not to like there.

Yes. Howie, concluding that the season is too long because we've added more playoffs is ass-backward.

Correction. He won't see the next batter. The Mets looking for five innings from their pen.

Carrasco may not see the end of this inning.

No reports on the ultimate fate of Álex Claudio, but if you're banking on him having been waived, clearing waivers, and one way or another hitting free agency in the off-season, you're probably not going to go broke. May Nogosek's 2022 mustache be long remembered. Not since Josh Satin's eyebrows has a Mets facial accessory been so compelling and puzzling at the same time.

Lindor looking to get credit for all the outs this inning.

We're starting off with "Summer of '69"?

Move the series to Pittsburgh! (We're soaking down here in Baltimore.)

My wife, despite having far less knowledge of the context, has come to the same conclusion.

I find it very hard to believe that the league would add this extra round of playoffs, along with four byes, while creating a situation where the bye would be less profitable for the teams that attain them. I believe the league routinely overlooks the unintended on-field consequences of the new rules they impose. I don't believe they overlook who gets the money.

Freeman finished the evening going 0-for-4, and McNeil's lead is suddenly a little less theoretical and a little more concrete, no longer having to go down the ten-thousandth's place to glean a difference. The margin between him and Freddie is now a robust .001211. Word on the street is that this development has led the Dodgers to descend into panic mode. The Cardinals had Nolan Arenado in the lineup last night, but he was a late scratch as a precaution against falling behind Starling Marte in the batting average race, which would weaken his position to opt out of his contract into the offseason free agent market. Anyhow, that's what I heard. 　　National League Batting Average, 2022 　　1) Jeff McNeil (NYM): .325714 　　2) Freddie Freeman (LAD): .324503 　　3) Paul Goldschmidt (STL): .319 　　4) Trea Turner (LAD): .298 　　5) Manny Machado (SD): .294 　　6) Nolan Arenado (STL): .291892 　　7) Starling Marte (NYM): .291845 　　8) Alec Bohm (PHI): .281 　　9) Nico Hoener (LAD): .280 　　10) Justin Turner (LAD): .280

And Freebird grounds out to first in his second at-bat! The National League has a new batting average leader!! National League Batting Average, 2022 1) Jeff McNeil (NYM): .325714 2) Freddie Freeman (LAD): .325581 McNeil leads by .000133!! Our wake-up team of Scott and Jason in the Morning will have more updates for you bright and early tomorrow!

Freeman hitless in his first at-bat, but still in the lead. National League Batting Average, 2022 1) Freddie Freeman (LAD): .326123 2) Jeff McNeil (NYM): .325714 A difference of .000409. The Mets have the RBI total all but locked up by Pete Alonso, but it'll take a heckuva barrage in the last series for him to catch Kyle Schwarber in the homerun race. Schwarber also leads the league with 199 strikeouts and sports a batting average (.217) that would embarrass Dave Kingman.

Apparently, mlb.com and Chevrolet need to get on the same page.

The amazin' thing is that he was initially kept on the roster for a few days, as if it was a day-to-day thingie, with speculation that he was available to do some tasks before he returned to the starting lineup. The idea that he still can't grip a ball is ... a somber thought.

It's gonna be a mad off-season. The Mets have, like, a billion guys (that number isn't confirmed) in their walk year. deGrom may not even be their biggest challenge. And yeah, I think the presidency is going to possibly have to come first.

"Baseball is a hard game." — Mark Vientos

Kathleen O'Brien writing a guest opinion essay for today's Times. Much as I know I will never love an investment banker, I know I will never love the Yankees. But I let myself love a baseball team this summer, and it has gotten serious. The New York Mets have clinched a spot in the postseason. ... I began to have a good feeling about these Mets, even before I studied their widely admired manager, Buck Showalter. One thing I've noticed is that he is protective of his players. The Mets have been hit by pitches more than any other team and it makes him angry. Often the players responded to it in the proper style: batting the ball around and securing a win for the good guys. Showalter also speaks kindly about his team. “It's given me peace just knowing that these guys get it,” he said at one point this season. And: “We have a lot of guys with a pure heart. They want to win. They want to do the right thing.” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/03/opinion/for-my-son-the-2022-mets-are-already-amazing.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/03/opinion/for-my-son-the-2022-mets-are-already-amazing.html

I imagine he will be. The question is whether another team is willing pay him seven years for three good ones. But there's plenty of time for hot-stovin'.

Yeah, believe me — I spanked myself for tracking booby prizes while the division title was on the line. I rationalize my efforts with the thought that McNeil had a good series when few of his teammates can say the same. If that happened because he was chasing personal boobies instead of team glory, well, at least it happened. Here's the current breakdown. Also worth noting that Starling Marte has caught another player by doing absolutely nothing. National League Batting Average, 2022 1) Freddie Freeman (STL): .326667 2) Jeff McNeil (NYM): .325714 3) Paul Goldschmidt (LAD): .318 4) Trea Turner (LAD): .298 5) Manny Machado (SD): .294 6) Nolan Arenado (STL): .291892 7) Starling Marte (NYM): .291845 8) Alec Bohm (PHI): .282 9) Nico Hoener (LAD): .282 10) Justin Turner (LAD): .280 So that's less than a point. It's something like an .000953 differences between Freeman and McNeil. (Hey, kids! It's New York Jets great Freeman McNeil!) Even closer is the .000047 gap between Nolan Arenado and Starling Marte.

Five starts averaging six innings or six starts averaging five innings will get you there. They'd almost certainly have to reach the NLCS to get there, so I'm sure rooting for you. I suppose four starts averaging seven innings would work too. That may or may not mean great news for the Mets, but it would sure reflect well on deGrom.
