Benjamin Grimm wrote: I have just registered "for the possibility of being selected for the opportunity to purchase tickets, subject to availability, for potential New York Mets 2015 Postseason games at Citi Field." Are there enough qualifiers in that sentence? I guess they're trying to make it as clear as possible that I'm not guaranteed to get tickets for games that may not even be played. sounds funny, but it's actually not redundant. 'possibility' not everyone wins the lottery. 'opportunity' you don't have to buy. 'subject to availability' they're probably only selling like 17 tickets, so even if you win they might be sold out. 'potential' Lottery is for all games any non-eliminated NL team has a chance of playing, whether or not they do.

Centerfield wrote: I just realized he was not called up. So he's not eligible for the post-season right? Why wouldn't the Mets call him up as an option? He could be a spot starter, a long reliever, a seventh inning guy. So basically his contract runs out then he is a free agent right? not on the 40 man. He's eligible though, for being in the organization.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Maybe because yesterday the Nationals lost a game that they had been expected to lose, but the Mets lost a game they had been expected to win? Just guessing here... yeah, that's probably it. lead didn't change but Nationals strength of schedule dropped and Mets got more difficult.

Well, if games get out of hand a pitcher is ineffective or even just taxed and exits earlier, you stress your bullpen more. Having the deeper safety net there is more valuable in general than the extra hitter (or pinch runner in this case probably) Giants last year Lincecum pitched 1.2 IP. (aside, Madison Bumgarner through 52.2 and no one else through more than 21) Gary Brown got 1 PA. Joaquin Arias got 4. I think the potential for the extra reliever to be more valuable is worth carrying one. But yeah, a whole month worth of games. maybe Nieuwenhuis is hammering the ball or something. Or one of the relievers is pitching lights out and it's obvious you should include him.
-
just randomly checking the first two teams I picked, Dodgers and Giants, both went with 12 pitchers for the NLDS last season.

Gwreck wrote: They were carrying 7 relievers and 5 starters prior to roster expansion. Why do you think they would now need to carry more relievers in the postseason? 7 relievers is standard. You're losing a starter, so the question becomes do you add a bench guy or a reliever? The Mets starters are good so I suspect they'll go bench guy, but who knows.
-
I don't know if Uribe and Johnson are locks, or should be. The Mets will go with at least 7 relievers, maybe 8.

Later I figure he'll turn it back around again before then, but the Mets have a decent amount of ego-crushing difficult decisions mounting in regards to playoff rosters and who's gonna be left out. "Thanks for the two years Bartolo! We'll send you a ring if we win" seem so callous, but also perhaps the right move. I can't see it happening to Niese with his contract, but if he struggles? What if Parnell straightens it out again? Do you leave him off? What if most of his success feels defense-oriented and he hasn't refined his control yet? if he walks 10, Ks 8, but only allows 1 run in 15 innings in September? Great problems to have certainly.

It's as simple as that. Where are your priorities? the best part about the 5.5 (now 6.5) lead is that the Mets don't actually NEED the Cards to beat the Nats.

yay leads!

used to throw it as a starter and apparently has been practicing it all year, just not in games. 7IP for Harvey and deGrom 2IP for Familia should probably be the ideal in the critical games.

Phillies E# is 12. They're currently tied with the Marlins on pace to be the first NL team eliminated from the postseason.

Mets probably have 2-3 more in them tonight I figure.

Gwreck wrote: he was never obnoxious, never rude Not exactly. "Take the two series between the teams in September 1999. In the first, Jones combined for four home runs and seven RBI to lead the Braves to a sweep in Atlanta. In the second, the Braves won two out of three at Shea Stadium, seemingly ending the Mets' playoff hopes. Jones infamously said afterward: 'Now all the Mets fans can go home and put their Yankee stuff on.'"

even dumber. those scanners probably use slightly different technology that makes it easier I guess? (from what I understand, LED versus laser scanner)

Mets � Willets Point wrote: I selected the smartphone tickets for the game I went to in April because it would be "faster." Instead, the ticket taker had to scan my phone, print out a ticket, and then scan that ticket. And repeat four times, because there were five of us. It was ridonculous. So much for technology. as usual, this is at least partly a 'PEBKAC' (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair) error. You CAN scan the phone but likely due to the refraction through the glass screen the margin for error is small and most people (you scan yourself at many of the turnstiles) give up before adjusting the phone/angle/distance correctly.

I mean, technically as long as it's a barcode you can scan it at the gate, as you've been able to do for years and years, (turn the brightness down on the screen helps I think) but I can be flighty and they don't really guarantee it I don't think unless you're using the iPhone iPassport app or whatever that's called.
