Any day where the Red Sox won a game is better than todayI'm not sure how many better days of playoff baseball there have been than this.
Manfred looking to reopen the CBA to cut the pitch clock time in half.This inning may never end. 87 fouls balls and still no outs.
Collective trigger warning, but you asked. Not technically a save but:Has this ever worked?
Showalter with weird bullpen management?Nobody is warming up in the Mets pen, now it's weird...
All the Orsillos. This inning has lasted forever.How many Orsillos for Edwin Diaz?
The Buck stops thereSeems odd the Mets are keeping Diaz in the game.
That is a pretty good achievementRed Sox, Yankees and Mets fans all hate Ottavino. Impressive.
The Padres have a 230M payroll. Pretty sure there’s some pressure on them to make the real tournament.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.
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.The Padres have a 230M payroll. Pretty sure there’s some pressure on them to make the real tournament.
Carrasco isn’t on the roster, don’t think he’s healthy. Walker is probably the next choice.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.
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.Carrasco isn’t on the roster, don’t think he’s healthy. Walker is probably the next choice.
No kidding. Obviously they have a home field advantage if they just realize how to use it.The home crowd needs to quiet down when their guy is pitching.
