Padres @ Mets

The only thing I don’t love about Diaz here is that I think he actually gets amped up with the 9th inning crowd and gains a couple mph
but in isolation yeah, get through these innings and hope you can score a couple and he doesn’t need to go 3 or even 2

They could have just used Ottavino to face 8-9-1 and if anyone got on bring in Diaz to face Soto.
Collective trigger warning, but you asked. Not technically a save but:

I’d get Diaz out at this point
I liked bringing him in, but if the rest of the pen can’t handle a 5 run lead it’s not your year

It’s just a little too quiet there
The Mets have lost a little of the swagger they had a month ago… need to get amped up a little here

That is a pretty good achievement
That was a pretty solidly Mets experience (terror even in a 4 run win), but they got the offense going and DeGrom and Diaz were solid, I'll take it
The Padres still have to be feeling pretty good about their chances today. The Mets sent their two best pitchers to the hill already and went 1-1. They have all the pressure on them today, I think.
The Padres have a 230M payroll. Pretty sure there’s some pressure on them to make the real tournament.
True, but they didn't lose a division title in the last week of the season. They're kind of playing with house money a bit in this series.
I actually think it's the other way around. In the spring it felt like this was supposed to be the coronation season for Preller and the Padres, while the Mets were probably an "upper middle" team (for lack of covfefe and ability to word this morning).
I really think the pressure is on the Padres in this one.

After Tatis's disastrous 2022 I'm not sure the Padres can be truly expected to make the LDS, honestly.
Bassitt makes sense for the Mets, but he really had a hard time against Padres this year (0-2 with 9 ER in 10.1 innings).
Carrasco was very effective (1-0 wit 2 ER in 12 innings).
Ultimately, the hook will be quicker than quick. May not matter a whole lot in the scheme of things who starts.

Carrasco isn’t on the roster, don’t think he’s healthy. Walker is probably the next choice.
Well, that makes sense. Looked at the game log quickly and thought he made his starts down the stretch. Obviously he didn't or something happened. Carry on.
No kidding. Obviously they have a home field advantage if they just realize how to use it.
