I've said it before but why do teams pitch to Ohtani? The Padres were up 3-0 and in total control. Ohtani come up and it's 3-3. I would walk that guy every at bat.

The Mets are going to be THAT team this year aren't they?

Win game one of a double header thanks to a late inning comeback just to get into the playoffs; check.

Down 2-0 in the ninth inning of a close out game and they pull the game out thanks to a blown save and advance; check.

Up 1-0 on the Phillies, who BTW are 0-7 in series after being down 0-1, the Phillies starter pitches his ass off, yet they still lose; check.

Yup; they are lining up to be THAT team this year.

That's just swell.

Imagine a repeat of the 2000 subway WS; can't wait............................

It’s been a fun ride so far for a year that was supposed to be a transitional year. I don’t know what’s going to develop going forward but whatever happens it’s been a successful year.

It was only on Monday they beat the Braves but it feels like a month ago.

The last thing I want to see is another subway series.
 
The Dodgers are in big trouble with their terrible pitching. They are getting shelled by SD.

Yes I know that Brad. It's a little late anyway.

Is it me or does it seem like a lot of pitchers seem to be getting hurt a lot anymore. The oldtimers seem to be able to pitch, pitch, and pitch ,complete games at that. Mark "The Bird" Fidrych didn't last long in the majors but in 56 games started he completed 34. Nolan Ryan had 222, Bob Gibson 255, Juan Marichal 244 and these guys would be considered playing in modern times. Is it because of the advancement in medicine where they might be able to detect a injury where before they couldn't. I can't believe Juan Marichal never won a Cy Young award.

I think part of it is that they throw a lot even before they get to college or pro ball. It takes its toll.
 
That may be but we played baseball morning, noon, and sometimes night when we were kids.

All of these series are now a best of 3.

I am looking forward to lots of great baseball over the next few days.

My understanding is that kids have all these leagues they play in and their arms are not really ready for all the pitches they have to throw, plus once they get to pro ball they are treated like highly prized assets. In addition, they are expected to throw harder and harder, which I don’t think is beneficial but, of course, I’m not a pitching maven.
 
Biggest game of the year for the Dodgers tonight. I was feeling good about their chances thinking they have a ton of talent and wanted to avenge their humiliation last year. But their pitchers are getting shelled and they are lucky to be 1-1 going into tonight. Roberts is toast if he blows this series.
 
I think the Phillies are done. The bats are in another of the slumps they experienced during the season. You don't win games with pitching alone, you need to score more runs than the other team. And they have Ranger Suarez going tonight. Everyone gushed about him in the first half of the season, as he put a streak of wins together. But which Suarez is showing up tonight-the first half Suarez or the second half Suarez? I'll happy if they win, force a Game 5, and win the series. But I'll be surprised if they do. I think the Phils are out of gas.

Prost!

This is Groundhog Day for Dodgers fans. Their starting pitching is atrocious, and they are playing from a three or more run deficit early in the game. The starters are getting shelled. It's not over until it's over, though. Thankfully the games start so late on the east coast, I don't have to watch them.

The 24 Mets could — and I emphasize “could” — be the Phillies of 2022. Come what may I’ve enjoyed this year immensely.

As much as I have always loved the Phillies the Mets deserve it the way they played. Congrats to all the Mets and their fans.
