Remember the Mets used Diaz yesterday in the ninth of a 5-0 game, with a do or die doubleheader looming.

Had a feeling that Lindor would jump him there


What a game

Bold move going back to Diaz in the 9th with how off he was. But it worked. Braves helped him out some too

Great win for Mets

I know there's nothing worse than guys who talk about their fantasy team, but I have a two week championship dependent on HRs (+1), RBIs (tied) and OBP (currently +.0004).  The winner is flipping with every AB as the marginal Braves and Mets I loaded up on make outs.  Its a white knuckle thrill ride.

Worked out poorly for the Diamondbacks.  Mets gave approximately zero f's about that second game.   They were up there hacking like it was the last game of a 20-game road trip.  I can't blame them.  The first game was a thrill ride and the second game was a bore.  I suspect it would have worked out the same way, with the Mets beating an uninterested Braves team, had the Braves won the first game.

It's wild to me that the Mets play right away today.

All four series play the next three days. And they play the second to last game - with the Braves and Padres playing the last game.

That makes sense. I suppose any disadvantage could have been solved by winning one more of the 70ish you lost.

I do think it's wild that MLB can't just have 1 more off day

Weather is rarely even could these days through October so don't use that 1 day BS

Sport like the nba uses about 100 playoff off days

The Mets and Braves were the ones who pushed their April rain out game to September.  Furthermore, the Braves apparently did not want to push the previous series start to Monday when the forecast looked bad.

In other words, the teams that have to deal with the lack of rest were the ones who created the mess they are in.

Yeah, though I think a lot of it is intentional to keep teams from being able to reset their rotations.

I am saying there is no reason for the MLB in general to be unable to go Wednesday-Friday by design.

If they think waiting 1 more day is going to magically have the blizzard of the century for game 7. They are wrong

This isn't about this year. Every year.

Very easy to have Monday be an if necessary day for any teams and Tuesday off for everyone.

Since they reseed for the divisional round, that won't work.

Why?

Every thing moves back 1 day.

That is all. Nothing else changes. Instead of starting playoffs on Tuesday you start Wednesday.

Or really whatever day. Based on when you decide to start the season.

Because they want to start divisional series on Saturday and Sunday. Not Sunday and Monday.

Awful nice of the Tigers to immediately subject their fans who have been waiting a decade for playoff baseball to some good old fashioned playoff anxiety

Astros lineup has horrendous depth

Wont ever count out that top 4 but boy they used to terrify 1-9

Going back to 2006, it is a Tiger tradition to have the closer become ineffective.   Todd Jones.  Jose Valverde.   Fernando Rodney.
