With only 54 games remaining on the season, they'll need to go on a blazing run of 36-18 the rest of the way just to finish at .500, which would be absolutely amazing.
But obviously the likelihood and chances of that happening are extremely low, as these are not the "Miracle Mets".....not even close.
Sadly,they probably will end up with even fewer wins than last year's total of 70.
Braves RHP Julio Teheran (8-7) starts the finale of the four-game series Sunday afternoon. Teheran is 9-6 with a 2.33 ERA in his career versus the Mets and has allowed only two runs on 11 hits in 21 innings (0.86 ERA) against them this season. Rookie RHP Corey Oswalt (1-2) pitches for New York in place of injured Steven Matz. Oswalt beat San Diego in his last big league start July 25 for his first career win.
Callaway should be called out for taking precious AB's away from Nimmo and giving Bautista way too much unwarranted playing time.
Fucking ridiculous.
He's a bum....he had a 1st & 3rd with no outs situation but goes after the 1st pitch and GIDP. What a fucking fail. Game could've been put away right there with a better approach at the plate.
Hell, even a sac fly rbi would've been acceptable...and could've given the Mets a 4-1 cushion in the 6th.
But No. Now the game is tied at 3-3 in the 7th.
Piss it away again, guys. That's what you do best.
Braves took a 4-3 lead in the top of the 9th off Lugo...but Mesoraco ties it up with a solo HR that was ruled a double, then reviewed, and ruled a HR.
4-4 game.
Nimmo strokes a 1 out single, and is now the potential winning run.
....with 2 outs..he steals 2nd.
Plawecki at the plate........and he's caught looKing.
Another off season signing not paying dividends whatsoever...at least not yet.
Mets' Right-handed reliever Anthony Swarzak was put on the disabled list with inflammation in his shoulder. The move was retroactive to Saturday, and RHP Jacob Rhame was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas. The 32-year-old Swarzak is 0-2 with three saves and a 6.00 ERA in 22 games during his first season with the Mets. He missed about two months earlier this year with a strained oblique.
Today's series finale recap:
You just knew that giving up a 2 out HR to the opposing pitcher would come back to haunt us.
