This is going to unironically be a crazy good pitchers duel. Morton turns into ’95 Randy Johnson whenever he faces the Mets, while Quintana has been surprisingly more-than-solid since coming back from injury. This could actually be a 0-0 game going into extras.
Seth Lugo with 6 scoreless against the Marlins today. 3.70 ERA in 109 innings this year. Feel like he could probably opt out in the offseason and get a 3×12 contract. Nice to see him prove he can be a decent starter
The Mets announced to reporters, including Tim Britton of The Athletic, that right-hander Tyson Miller has been designated for assignment. His roster spot will go to righty Sean Reid-Foley, whose selection was reported earlier today. Righty Reed Garrett was optioned to open a spot for Reid-Foley on the active roster.
So far this series, I’ve only heard the chop come through once over the broadcast and that was when it was initiated by the scoreboard/PA in the middle of an inning. Otherwise, you’d think it was any other team/fanbase. Well done, SNY crew.
I want a win tonight. Mets gave away last night’s game. It was winnable.
With Quintana on the mound if the Mets offense can step up this is winnable too.
Let’s GO!
I feel like I’m being prepped for the eventuality of Pete no longer being a Met with this reporting.
Let’s fucking go! It’s time to win this series, go on a run, and control our own destiny!
YA GOTTA BELIEVE!
Real talk though, I think this is one of the most important games we have left. The effort that goes in tonight, what our team looks like when in a rubber match with “the best team in baseball” can make or break our momentum as we go up against the odds to try to make a wild card spot.
Beyond that, I think it also will be a real test for 2024. Our team will look a little bit different, but our core will still be here, and let’s see how they come through when faced with adversity and pushed against a wall.
