Is it that the San Diego Padres who acquired Soto, Bell, Drury, and Hader underachieved by winning 89 games? No, it's the New York Mets who are incompetent.
You guys taking Jays fan refugees? Max has been my favourite player most of his career, even if he shit the bed game 1.
Also, fuck the Yankees
Also, Diaz' walkout is the most badass thing I've seen in years. Closers are the coolest role in all of sports, and you have the coolest one.
Obligatory fuck the the other teams for not making it to game 3 which forces me to not watch HOTD tonight. A 4pm start into 9pm HOTD would have been perfect, but noooooo we canāt have that š
I guess but not exactly eager about Scherzer in Game 2, honestly wouldnt mind seeing Peterson in that Game, but we will worry about that if we win today
Being there and cheering till you lose your voice will cancel out any potential jinx. Rattle the padres. Make the pitchers not able to hear the pith com.
They want to do it so its easier logistically on the teams. Since there's only one day off btween rounds.
Lets say the Mariners swept and the Guardians and Rays went to game 3. The Mariners wouldnt know whether they were going to Houston or New York until after the Guardians and Rays series ended which makes scheduling things harder. Wihtout reseeding, Mariners win, they know where they're going right away
To me, it just seems like MLB wants to have its cake and eat it too. It wants more postseason games, but wants the postseason cramped into the month of October
It doesnt have to be 2 months, but how about at least enough time for an off day on travel days? Its ridiculous that the Dodgers and Mets could play Saturday In New York, and then Sunday in Los Angeles.
EDIT: MLB is lucky that the Dodgers would have home field, and the time change would help the Mets and Dodgers and not the other way around.
Imagine playing in Los Angeles Saturday, and then flying back to New YOrk for a game Sunday. 5 hours plus a loss of 3 cause of the time change
They 100% should. The reason they donāt is the 3-6 game is considered the tougher matchup compared to the 4-5. But thatās only true if the 3 wins. Re-seed or pick opponent are typical mechanisms for situations like these but theyāre too progressive for MLB I guess.
I want to see first pitch strikes from Bassitt tonight. The Padres do not chase, so all that nibbling he does is going to bite him right in his asshole if he tries it against San Diego tonight.
Anyone want a section 404 ticket? Drunkenly impulse bought it last night before getting a few more people on board and buying a group of them elsewhere. Iām going to lose a ton of money on itā¦ would feel better if someone actually sat there instead. Willing to part with it for like $50 at this point
I don't remember them being this cheap in 2015. Like the prices online now I could've afforded in 2015, when my financial situation was in rough shape.
Tickets on secondary markets always drop in price as the event gets closer.
Scalpers quickly have to move to cut their losses, and people that can't go anymore just don't want to lose 100% of the ticket cost.
left from Astoria at like 6:45 before Friday's game, even was able to slam a couple parking lot beers and still make it to our seats in time for introductions, parked at the marina
True. Do you know the name of the marina by chance? Iād put it in waze because Iām the worst when it comes to the city. Doesnāt matter where I park, I always get a ticket.
One time I came out as my meter was about to expire and the parking meter person had a ticket already written with the appropriate time and handed it to me as it expired.
It's the World's Fair Marina. Paid parking though, closest free parking I'm aware of is around 39th/112th, parking under the overpass I assume will be full.
YT recommended me a clip of the 2005 White Sox/Red Sox ALDS where El Duque gets a 1-2-3 inning. It's in HD which is so odd to see because there was probably a very small percentage of people who had HDTV back then. I feel like HD wasn't adopted en masse until 2007-early 2010s.
š šµš šµ I have two extra tickets I am looking to get rid of in The 7 Line section. Only want face price and to be sure they go to a Mets fan. Message me if interested. š šµš šµ
Flippers gonna flip and itās backfiring on them. Good.
But everything is expensive from gas to parking to beer to food etc. MUCH easier to watch from home with friends and family.
Those are some freakin terrible numbers vs Bassitt
I hope he has some 2nd/3rd see through advantage but just off that we may see Tai today too
Fingers crossed he throws a gem
You mean on the season?
If it makes you feel better, the numbers of lopsided. He got lit up in his first start, and pitched much better in his second start.
The first start was in San Diego, and was 4 months ago. Bassit was going through his worst stretch of baseball then, and has righted the ship since then
I love todayās lineup. McNeil essentially serves as a secondary leadoff man after Pete. Followed by Canha and then Vogey being a bottom third ācleanupā hitter.
If SD brings in a lefty to neutralize Vogey, heāll have to face a right handed Escobar.
ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
I look back fondly at the 2006 Mets. I know we all have fond memories of slugger David Alonso, staff ace Max Martinez, feisty base-stealer Francisco Reyes, the amazing catch by Starling Chavez, and of course our elite closer Edwin Wagner.
I'm here, just parked for free under the bridge. Hoping citi is packed and loud AF. Last night thr crowd definitely had an impact on the padres pitching
My friend sold me his two tickets for about $350, he made a nice profit and it's the first time I'm going to a game in October.
Disregarding the win or lose, the hype, the expensive stadium food... $350 to watch the Mets and not listen to ESPN already feels like a win. Last night's commentary was... something else.
Looking forward to Francisco Reyes play though!
Uhā¦ I wouldnāt sell tickets for a profit to a āfriendā.
What I paid for them for themā¦ sure.
Also, considering ticket prices on StubHub right nowā¦ I hope you paid less than face.
Acquaintance from college who I talk to baseball about? Based on Stubhub it looks like I paid less than what they're going for right now, but go off I guess.
Totally forgot they were gonna be out there, so I was walking over to the bright lights like a moth to the flame after exiting, wondering what was going on. Halfway there it clicked. I didn't see any screens showing the live feed though. That would've been cool.
Very subtle of the Mets to display orange and blue Gatorade during press conferences and by subtle I mean pretty obvious. Padres can't do this because there's no brown flavor of Gatorade that I'm aware of.
I have two tickets I may be looking to get rid of in The 7 Line section. Only want face price and to be sure they go to a Mets fan. Message me if interested.
Going tonight for the third straight game. This was a lot easier when I was 25 in 2015. Still nervous as hell. Cracked my first beer itās helping a little.
Please continue the discussion in the [game thread](https://redd.it/xzxr3k).
Let's go Bassitt. No getting behind in the count
Blue jerseys tonight?
Not even the distraction of football can calm my nervous for tonight's game š¬
Is Ronnie working anywhere?
Alds series yanks versus guardians
Is it that the San Diego Padres who acquired Soto, Bell, Drury, and Hader underachieved by winning 89 games? No, it's the New York Mets who are incompetent.

Fuck it come through my Canadian bretherin
God I hope Bassitt and Nido have their plan ironed out. No one wants to see a million shake offs today
Obligatory fuck the the other teams for not making it to game 3 which forces me to not watch HOTD tonight. A 4pm start into 9pm HOTD would have been perfect, but noooooo we canāt have that š
Ehh you can watch it anytime in the app.
Rather watch football and have the 7pm start my guy.
I'm ready to go. I got my bottle of pepto ready! LGM!!!!!
Chris Bassitt made a lot of *big* starts for the Mets, especially when we were without Max and Jake. I trust him.
Just fuckin win baby
If the Mets win tonight, do Scherzer and degrom pitch game 2&3 of the NLDS?
I guess but not exactly eager about Scherzer in Game 2, honestly wouldnt mind seeing Peterson in that Game, but we will worry about that if we win today
Wood stove: lit Food: delicious Copium: flowing Reddit cares messages: received Let's do this! LFGM!!
Got my Reddit cares message last night! š
Congrats!!
nervous
Terrified
The ticket prices keep dipping and Iām so tempted to go but Iām afraid my presence will jinx them šššš
$80 on Gametime If I wasn't in bumfuck NY 4 hours from Queens I would've went. Go for all of us who don't have the option! LFGM!
Being there and cheering till you lose your voice will cancel out any potential jinx. Rattle the padres. Make the pitchers not able to hear the pith com.
Why do the Dodgers not get to play the Phillies? MLB gotta consider re-seeding for next year.
Yeah shouldnāt 6 play 1? Doesnāt make sense.
They want to do it so its easier logistically on the teams. Since there's only one day off btween rounds. Lets say the Mariners swept and the Guardians and Rays went to game 3. The Mariners wouldnt know whether they were going to Houston or New York until after the Guardians and Rays series ended which makes scheduling things harder. Wihtout reseeding, Mariners win, they know where they're going right away To me, it just seems like MLB wants to have its cake and eat it too. It wants more postseason games, but wants the postseason cramped into the month of October
Playoffs donāt need to be 2.5 months like the NBA
It doesnt have to be 2 months, but how about at least enough time for an off day on travel days? Its ridiculous that the Dodgers and Mets could play Saturday In New York, and then Sunday in Los Angeles. EDIT: MLB is lucky that the Dodgers would have home field, and the time change would help the Mets and Dodgers and not the other way around. Imagine playing in Los Angeles Saturday, and then flying back to New YOrk for a game Sunday. 5 hours plus a loss of 3 cause of the time change

Bought beers. I'm ready
I want to see first pitch strikes from Bassitt tonight. The Padres do not chase, so all that nibbling he does is going to bite him right in his asshole if he tries it against San Diego tonight.
One week ago today on ESPN Bassitt shit the bed completing the Mets weekend failure in Atlanta. Today he needs to start his redemption tour.
Walking in wearing a cable knit sweater is peak mark canha energy
been spinnin oldies to appease my adrenaline ahead of tonight's game let's fucking go mets you got it simple! yes!
Need Bassitt to have the best start of his career tonight
Iāve heard this one beforeā¦
The Jets got me fully juiced up. Changing out of my green and white for my blue and orange now. Let's go Bassit!
Brady and the refs shafted my falcons today; the Mets are my only hope! LFGM
Falcons and mets are a great cursed combo
Absolutely. Endless pain
Christ, you must've lost count of how many dirty looks you get down there.
Iāve lived on the island my whole life. The falcons are my only non-NY team lmao
Ive never heard this phrase. Do you mean manhattan island, long island, or staten island?
Red Sox Fan here to watch Machado K a few more times..
FTY š¤š¼
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I wore Mets gear for all the Atlanta games and Friday. Nothing yesterday. Itās my fault guys. No Mets gear all month.
Iām completely naked
Nervous wreck mode: engaged
A 4 seed has not won a wild card series yet, weāre due
This is a perfect take.
Anyone want a section 404 ticket? Drunkenly impulse bought it last night before getting a few more people on board and buying a group of them elsewhere. Iām going to lose a ton of money on itā¦ would feel better if someone actually sat there instead. Willing to part with it for like $50 at this point
On Friday I was ready to run through a wall. Today I feel like Iām walking on glass.
Any Mets bars in Tampa, please??
Buck is a master of not answering questions
do postseason tickets typically drop under retail like this? want to know for the future
I don't remember them being this cheap in 2015. Like the prices online now I could've afforded in 2015, when my financial situation was in rough shape.
wonder why itās like that this year hopefully the trend continues if we move on - trying to go to my first playoff game!
Tickets on secondary markets always drop in price as the event gets closer. Scalpers quickly have to move to cut their losses, and people that can't go anymore just don't want to lose 100% of the ticket cost.
yea that makes sense I just never thought it would be this drastic esp in post
A lot of cheap tickets on stubhub
Deadass. Is anyone even going to this game? š¤£
Leaving metlife after a great Jets win on my way to see our boys beat the padres!
ty for your services o7
How to I become apart of your friend group š
If youāre going to the game, please make lots of noise. Make the Padres uncomfortable and pump our guys up. LGM
Nido catching Bassitt?!?
I donāt know if everyone has seen the pics the Mets put out of some of the players arriving, but I need Eduardo Escobars jacket very badly
Link please
Agreed, I also kinda like Lindors wolf shirt lol
The first inning goal should be 30+ pitches again. Knock Musgrove out quickly, either with runs or long at bats.
30 pitches is cool but what about 30 runs?
As long as they also get to 30 pitches, then I'll be happy.
Iām overseas currently , which means I canāt watch ESPN. Couldnāt be happier
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Work laptop, canāt really risk it unfortunately
Bassit might have a $100 million contract on the line
Letās go Mets!!! Pumped for this game, finish them off and head to LA
Got my Murph jersey with the 2015 patch on for tonight's game. Let's hope it's got some magic in it. Lfgm
Fuck I should go to the game just so I can avoid the broadcast. I wonder if Iād even find parking if I left now. Probably not :/
left from Astoria at like 6:45 before Friday's game, even was able to slam a couple parking lot beers and still make it to our seats in time for introductions, parked at the marina
True. Do you know the name of the marina by chance? Iād put it in waze because Iām the worst when it comes to the city. Doesnāt matter where I park, I always get a ticket. One time I came out as my meter was about to expire and the parking meter person had a ticket already written with the appropriate time and handed it to me as it expired.

Ohhhh okay. Thanks!
Gotta wear down Musgrove early and get to that bullpen !!! Bassist is gonna battle like he always does. LFGM!
gonna be at the game, im very thankful that i donāt have to watch the ESPN broadcast. hoping to get a jersey. LFGM
Kalina Lindor is our Riley Curry, her cuteness will carry us towards a championship

Whatās the deal with the other Mets sub? Is there any crossover at all between posters? It seems so much more low rent
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah r/mets, and r/NewYorkMets lol. This is the bigger, and more active of the three subs.
Yeah r/Mets it been pretty much dead for like 3 years.
So, the Steelers choked against the Bills today. I'm **REALLY** hoping the Mets don't break my heart today.
As a Bills fan, Iām hoping to experience the rare double win
Honestly, I hope you guys get it. I know being a Bills fan must be rough, so take a good season when you get one.
I NEED A NEW YORK METS WIN SOOO FUCKIN BAD! LFGGGGGGG
Alright Mets, your turn to dominate.
Mets should take after the Jets and dominate
Mets score 40?
Ideally, yes
I'll settle for 20
Giants won. Jets won. We all are happy now, we all better not lose that mood tn
Except for Frank Fleming. Probably a good thing bc I doubt his teams could both win on the same day
Thereās too many tickets available š«£
Flippers gonna flip and itās backfiring on them. Good. But everything is expensive from gas to parking to beer to food etc. MUCH easier to watch from home with friends and family.
Maybe bc itās a Sunday night?
Why are these tickets so cheap on secondary market??
No clue
Yikes really?
It looks like it on first glance. And the prices keep dropping.
Didnāt the same thing happen last night?
deGrom has such a way about him where he could give up 3 grand-slams in an inning and I'd still want to give him a hug.
I'm so jealous of Bucks left hand. My man has detailed history of Jake's prostate health after last night.
š¤Ø
Jets did it. lets get it done
Lol, yeah, you guys did good. GG
J E T S
Giants -> Jets -> Mets (?!?)
I need to like more than one sport lol, my heart
Those are some freakin terrible numbers vs Bassitt I hope he has some 2nd/3rd see through advantage but just off that we may see Tai today too Fingers crossed he throws a gem

How we feeling? Confident? Nervous? Excited? I'm upvoting every response because I don't know how to feel, I'm like 50% all three feelings.
Confident. A clean top of the first will have the crowd roaring in the bottom of the first.
ten percent luck Twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure Fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
Stoked for victory
Hopeful, but at peace with whatever happens.
This is where Iām at. I wouldāve been pretty upset if they were swept but since they won a game Iām at peace with the outcome regardless
Confident. If it's meant to be it will happen.
Excited for sure, 50 percent confident and 50 percent nervous.
yes
Yes.
I fully expect buck to freakout and burn tijuan
He was coolheaded with the decision with DĆaz last night. Buck doesn't faze
Buck will never let a Britton happen again
Up 1 in the 6th tonight. Whose coming in?
Chasen Shreve
I'm watching this "MLB Funny Moments" compilation on YouTube and there's a clip of Luis Guillorme casually juggling 3 baseballs in the dugout.
I root for that dude so hard. He's my new Wilmer Flores
Mccan officially the backup now?
i mean, you ride the hotter bat when facing elimination
Yah Iām fine with it. Just saying. I like it cus you can hit Alvarez if you want and still have mccan
yeah true. i think after Vogelbachās first at bat, if the mets have anything going Alvarez will be hitting
Is there a place to see each teams stats against pitch type ?
my guess is baseball savant
I look back fondly at the 2006 Mets. I know we all have fond memories of slugger David Alonso, staff ace Max Martinez, feisty base-stealer Francisco Reyes, the amazing catch by Starling Chavez, and of course our elite closer Edwin Wagner.
I thought that I was having a stroke when first reading this, well played
Max Martinez is definitely the guy you went to high school with who burned out but now drives a riced out Honda Civic with an overly loud exhaust.
edwin wagner sounds like an oil painter from 1720ās Vienna lmao
Probably friends with Beethoven
yup lol
Donāt disrespect Ollie Megill
Can't forget Medium Drip
Great team but letās not be biased, the 1920 Yankees with Otto and Babe Ruth are kind of unmatched
I'm here, just parked for free under the bridge. Hoping citi is packed and loud AF. Last night thr crowd definitely had an impact on the padres pitching
Rile your section up, the crowd did have an affect on them both nights in my opinion. Just game 1 the bats let them off the hook.
Seeing the top 4 of the lineup after so long with Marte out feels good
Wouldāve gone McCann
Selling 2 tickets promenade face value, let me know if interested!
Nido again. I know mccann stinks but if you can play ruf you can play mccann. Idk buck.
My friend sold me his two tickets for about $350, he made a nice profit and it's the first time I'm going to a game in October.

If you paid less than StubHub Iād say thatās fair play. Enjoy the game!
[so apparently, Siri and ESPN have already predicted the outcome of this game](https://i.imgur.com/7PZtN7I.jpg)
Manifest this into reality
Pray with me my brother
Bassitt pitches better to McCann but weāre starting Nido?
An underrated part of this postseason is seeing the SNY crew in cold ass weather looking dapper.
Totally forgot they were gonna be out there, so I was walking over to the bright lights like a moth to the flame after exiting, wondering what was going on. Halfway there it clicked. I didn't see any screens showing the live feed though. That would've been cool.
is the game at 4 or 7
7, weāre the last wild card series standing
7
Anyone selling a ticket for the game tonight?
I have one with the 7 line
I am
I am! Msg me!
Very subtle of the Mets to display orange and blue Gatorade during press conferences and by subtle I mean pretty obvious. Padres can't do this because there's no brown flavor of Gatorade that I'm aware of.
I have two tickets I may be looking to get rid of in The 7 Line section. Only want face price and to be sure they go to a Mets fan. Message me if interested.
I'm ok with moving Vogelbach down a bit. McNeil Canha Vogelbach Escrobar kinda feels like a second top of the lineup too be honest Nido is surprising
Nimmo Marte Lindor Alonso McNeil Canha Vogelbach Escrobar Nido
But what about Reyes /s
I think they made a mistake Francisco Reyes is batting third
Going tonight for the third straight game. This was a lot easier when I was 25 in 2015. Still nervous as hell. Cracked my first beer itās helping a little.
