[Frozenprince]

Losing two of three to the Marlins in September to fall back to four games up?

 

[CygnusXS]

I'm nervous about this upcoming series with Philly. Biggest series of the year so far.

 

[jello44]

Chad Qualls is a poopface.

Woo!

That might have hit the roof on the building across the street if the scoreboard wasn't there. And that's left-center, not left where Glenallen Hill hit one.

Probably in the Top 3 of longest HRs ever at Wrigley.

Somebody Periscope'd a clip of AA at Pitch Talks the other day: https://www.periscope.tv/w/aLt8GjIy...HT-hwZVtGIe2LtPzbYYH4BSdqzHgjsnnoat83BJdXPFnA

worth checking out for blue jay fans and anyone else who just wants to see a GM talk casually about stuff

 

[detectiveconan1]

Fuck you, bandwagon. There's a lot of Mets fans down here that show up to the games whether they're winning or losing. I'm not about to take that shit from a Marlins fan. South Florida invented the bandwagon.

Uh yeah that was my point, I'm talking about the people who live in Miami that all of the sudden became Mets fans after July.

P.S. Fuck you if you think I am a bandwagon fan. The Marlins are still my favorite Miami team even though they are going to be a shit team until Loria dies.

Who is Freddy?

Garcia, obvs.

You must be posting from the moon.

 

[dork]

Because I'm a cub fan and its fun to annoy the Cardinal fans. I guess last night some cardinal schlub hit one 454ft which is the longest in Busch Stadium history. KB says sup

 

[jello44]

Thank you Angels for beating the shit out of the Rangers.

No, I was just late. I forgot to post earlier.

You’ve heard about the 180-185 innings cap. That seems to be the number that will allow me to pitch into the postseason. Regardless of those numbers, I hope everyone knows: I have always wanted to play. I have always wanted to pitch every single chance I get.

Especially in the playoffs.

Right now we’re hunkered down in a fight to make the postseason. All of our efforts are focused on that task. As a team, we understand that there’s still a lot of baseball left to play. The chance to make a run in the playoffs will require our full dedication, energy and passion. This is an incredibly exciting time to be part of the Mets.

As an athlete, when your surgeon explains to you the risks of exceeding a certain number of innings, it can be alarming. You listen. I love to play baseball and I love winning even more. I would not give that up for anything. I also know I want to be able to play and win for a long time. But there has never been a doubt in my mind: I will pitch in the playoffs. I will be healthy, active and ready to go.

I am communicating with my agent, my doctor, Sandy and the entire Mets organization. I can assure everyone that we’re all on the same page.

Together, we are coming up with a plan to reach an innings limit during the season. It will be a compromise between the doctors and the Mets organization to get me, and the team, to where we need to be for our postseason run.

I understand the risks. I am also fully aware of the opportunity the Mets have this postseason. Winning the division and getting to the playoffs is our goal.

Once we are there, I will be there.

 

[shwimpy]

Thanks Dads!

 

[clemenx]

He shouldn't have used the P-word.

I can see another collapse incoming.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Lol Padres.

 

[Jack Remington]

I'm just being bias because a dodger dog is a larger than a regular hot dog. Farmer John makes them. I recommend it. Maybe other Doyer Fans can chime on this.

I went to a game in the Giants series last week and got one of the $5.50 Dodger dogs. It was seriously, seriously lacking in quality. I think the $8.50 dog is the only way to go if you have to get one. Though I saw they put in a stand that does bacon-wrapped (at least in the Reserve level).

 

[User 479360]

I regret not getting David Price's favourite popcorn when I went to the Rogers Centre, but I was cheap. It's probably been a decade or more since I've had popcorn there.

Kevin McAlpin ‏@KevinMcAlpin
Over the course of their 12 game losing skid, the #Braves have been outscored 103-28. Opponents averaging 8.5 runs per game.

:/

I wish the Cubs would lose more so we can get homefield against them after they beat Pittsburgh and St. Louis in the playoffs.

Have you ever been to a Marlins game when they play the Mets? There's always a ton of Mets fan there. It's nothing new this year.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Dodgers win. Bring on the Halos!!

Only time the WC can get HFA is in the WS.

Huh, did not realize that. I'd always thought it went by record. The more you know.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Cubs are pretty good on the road and at home, no dramatic splits.
Kris Bryant is much better at home though.
I'm wondering if Baez makes the playoff roster over Castro at this point, he's pretty good defensively at the least.

Also Cubs would be 2 back of the Bucs with a loss tonight.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Huh, did not realize that. I'd always thought it went by record. The more you know.

Actually, I think I'm wrong about that point :lol.

I could've sworn that the 2001 Cards had to play Games 5 against the D-backs on the road but it seems I was mistaken.

Edit: But Wikipedia thinks that might not be the case anymore?

Now home-field advantage goes to the team with the best record, or in the case of a wild card team vs. divisional winner, the divisional winner would receive home-field advantage.

 

[zroid]

Cubs are pretty good on the road and at home, no dramatic splits.

Pirates are way better at home tho

same as the Cards, Dodgers, and Mets

 

[vwnut13]

I've discovered the Mets' kryptonite... teams with a winning record.

I know anything can happen in the postseason, but it's not going to be pretty if the Mets make the playoffs.

Nah, Wikipedia says you're right

Wildcard team never has HFA except possibly in the WS

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I just noticed that Johnny Cueto has been pretty bad lately.

 

[User 479360]

Considering buying seats in section 511 at the Rogers Centre. It says obstructed view, though. Why is that?

Where we sat on Monday made it impossible to see Ben Revere in LF when he ran into the corner, but the seats were great otherwise, despite being high up.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Pirates get a run on some softly hit balls

Cardinals hit rockets into outs

baseball

Dodged a massive bullet there... if they hadn't asked for Marcus fucking Stroman we probably would have traded for him before Price became available. Yeesh.

I'm glad AA waited. Giving up Stroman would've been a horrible plan.

Plus...Price

[Silver Arrows]

In hindsight, that core of Swisher, Freeman and Markakis could be a fantastic building block moving forward

everything else though, yeah braves suck

 

[Meier]

Hopefully Anderson's thing is just a cramp and nothing worse. Can't have him missing significant time..

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Trading Alex Wood is going to prove to be a huge mistake, I think. Wisler, Foltynewicz, and Banuelos have all looked like shit.

 

[distantmantra]

Why couldn't the M's play like this a month ago?

[sigh]

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I'm dreading the upcoming 3 game series in Pittsburgh. Maybe the Reds can sweep the Pirates to give us a little more cushion though. <_<

I feel pretty good about a 5.5 game lead regardless, though

Pirates have a harder schedule rest of the way anyway and it seems like they'll face Kershaw and Greinke (though who knows if the Dodgers will do anything, lol)
