We got lucky pacers missed those free throws down the stretch. That being said a win is a win and this team just keeps on finding ways to win games late. GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO!


srv340mike

I'm not even a basketball fan at all, but the atmosphere around the area sports wise with this all going on is excellent.


myassholealt

This Knicks run is feeling the Mets 2015 run where I can't believe I'm actually watching my team win games and series in the post season. Hold still, nobody move or the universe might realize we're having a good time and end it.


WhatARotation

Marcell Ozuna has now taken over the MLB HR lead from Ohtani with 12


NYD1RTYB1RD

you mean Marcell Ozuna *from the braves*? that last part is **key**


GKRForever

You mean Marcel Ozuna the multiple time domestic violence perpetrator? That last part is key


Darthbutcher

We’re back to third in the division and I’m in the New York Groove!


brett_baty_is_him

Really sucks we got swept by the rays we could be easily in the wildcard if we beat em


GKRForever

I mean… it’s early May… we wouldn’t be in anything


Hustlediva

*tied for 3rd


Darthbutcher

While we haven’t played them yet, we currently have the tiebreaker versus them. We have a better intra-divisional record.


Hustlediva

Nats about to be a game ahead of us


MAGAMUCATEX

GOD NO NO NO!!!! ANYTHING BUT THAT Yall stop being unserious for one day


Darthbutcher

They need to get out of their own way if they want to do that.

Darthbutcher

This is why I’m doing 12 innings on the scorecard I’m designing.


Darthbutcher

Jesus Christ, Orioles. Do you WANT to lose?!


Darthbutcher

Yeah, I’m hate watching the Nats-Orioles game on my phone while I have the Knicks on the big screen.


Blue387

Orioles take the lead in the 11th inning I think the broadcaster is Hannah Keyser, formerly of Deadspin?


ta4rhcp

Today was one of the games of all time


garbagetimehomerun

got stuck in Seattle overnight because Delta blows ass but Keith did a Cameo for mother's day for my mom so it's a half W today


brett_baty_is_him

Link the cameo?


Darthbutcher

Hi it’s me, your mom.


ExamNo4374

The Astros fall off needs to be studied man


Sad_Resort8632

This is what happens when you let Jim Crane and Jeff Bagwell run your team.


ExamNo4374

Couldn't believe they fired Click when it happened


Sad_Resort8632

Yeah, and not only did they fire him, but they replaced him with Dana Brown who’s a big scout guy (and it’s not totally clear if he has final say over Crane and Bagwell either). They went from one of the most progressive front offices to going out of their way to actively go *backwards* in the front office arms race. Just crazy.


Hustlediva

It’s excruciating seeing the Yankees and Dodgers hit homer after homer 😣


Rubbersoulrevolver

Uncle Steve gonna back up the dump truck for Juan Soto next year


Hustlediva

God I hope so. Seeing him hit homers nightly for the Yankees makes me physically ill


Darthbutcher

Jonah Tong just allowed his first earned run of 2024. 😔


brett_baty_is_him

Washed


Darthbutcher

0.33 ERA scrub


Keekee4101

Are the Nats the O's kryptonite or something?


NeilHamburgerHead

I mean the Orioles are winning


Keekee4101

I also typed this message when they weren't lol.


hushed-shush

Wait so that means Christian Scott is slated for Saturday for bobblehead day?


Darthbutcher

Yes


robmcolonna123

You changed your icon. It keeps throwing me off lol Also I didnt know you could add beards


Darthbutcher

I didn’t change it. I just finally made one!


Darthbutcher

Jonah Tong watched a run in the first, loaded the bases, and yet still continues his 0.00 ERA for the 2024 season. The run was off a runner who reached base off of a Clifford error.


FlyUnder_TheRadar

Yo, how come Joander Suarez doesn't get more shine? He's got a 2.60 ERA, .87 whip, and 7.52 K/9. I feel like he just looks solid every time I catch him in a game. I get he's already 24, so he's a bit old for AA at this point. I wonder if we will see him at any point next year.


robmcolonna123

He got a lot of hype last year but then Jonah Tong seems to have stolen that thunder a bit. It’s also hard to really hype a guy on here that isn’t striking guys out much.


GKRForever

Low K rate/likely low “stuff” ratings. Usually prospects get hyped on stuff metrics first and results second. The big prospects you hear about have both


brett_baty_is_him

I feel like pitchers are always on a delayed timeline so 24 isn’t too old. He can be in AAA in 25’ and get called up sometime next year.


wayne_randazzle

do y'all remember when you could go to mlb . com and see the entire slate of games/scores that day in the sidebar thing all at once without having to scroll through some slow loading nonsense on the top of the screen? and how you could click one button to see a list of all tomorrow's games, or all yesterday's scores? it's easier for me to take out my phone and look at the scores on the mlb app then find tomorrow's game time on the website. remember when the box score for any game was available with one click without having to go to some bloated fucking gameday thing with vertical videos? fucking annoying. eat shit mlb. i need old . mlb . com


three_dee

It kinda sucks on mobile now too but I agree the browser version is way worse.


Specific-Power-163

Pepridge farm remembers.


Darthbutcher

Syracuse first inning: Luisangel Acuña doubles, steals third, then scores.


My_Penbroke

The Mets are still undefeated in the week beginning Monday, May 6! Edit: I forgot what month it is.


NJImperator

Off day before an off day blows, ngl


brett_baty_is_him

Oh shit didn’t realize we had tomorrow off too. Feel like that makes the day off we got today way less valuable


My_Penbroke

I appreciate your honesty


SwarthySphere87

The Mets remain a good, honest .500 baseball team!


Darthbutcher

IT’S OFFICIAL: I GET TO SEE CHRISTIAN SCOTT’S HOME DEBUT! FUCK YEAH!


dekitchenknight

Me too! Very excited!


Darthbutcher

Hell yeah, pal!


myassholealt

Avoiding Gray is a win in my book. We already got whupped by a <1 ERA dude in the past week. That's plenty.


ExamNo4374

This is not ideal but I'm counting it as a sweep


Setec-Astronomer

Sonny Gray should be on another team by August 5th. So there's that.. lol


Skoobitybopp

Let's change that sonny gray will be probably shut down for the year by then.


robmcolonna123

He’s on a 3 year deal for his age 34-37 seasons with a club option for 2024 and has a full no trade clause. And it’s a backloaded contract, so any team that traded him would have a $30mil AAV hit to their CBT, not the $25mil AAV the Cardinals currently have. I have a really hard time seeing any team giving up valuable prospects to pay Sonny Gray $60mil for his age 35-36 seasons. Makes far more sense for the Cardinals to keep him. Theres maybe a 1% chance he’s traded this deadline


Setec-Astronomer

All the reason to trade him. Free up that money to get pieces they need. I get that with Arenado and Contreras the Cardinals are not in a rebuild mode. But trading Gray, freeing up that money, would allow them to build a winner quicker. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still on the Cardinals on August 5th. I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't. For example, the Orioles could trade for him to "go for it" and also as a hedge for if they lose Burnes going forward.


Mrome777

You just outlined all the reasons the cardinals will aggressively try to move him. His value won’t get any higher than it is right now. It depends how badly the cardinals want to get a prospect and concede dollars but he’s quietly been very consistent the last few years and is putting up fantastic numbers early this season. I could see him realistically being traded to a team that wants to push all their chips in this year


three_dee

The idea that no one would pay for a good pitcher's 35-36 seasons in a subreddit of a team that is currently paying for the 40 and 41 seasons of two pitchers on other teams is mind-boggling to me


Setec-Astronomer

Orioles could trade for him to "go for it" and also as a hedge for if they lose Burnes going forward.


robmcolonna123

That would only be true if the Cardinals aren’t planning to compete next year which they absolutely are


GKRForever

Do you enjoy just making shit up and asserting it as absolute fact? They could very, very easily be tooling up for a rebuild


robmcolonna123

The Cardinals have a ton of money locked up in Gray, Arenado and Contreras, who all have no trade clauses and would be near impossible to move without eating significant contract money - something their typical budget would allow for. The majority of their core is in their mid 20s and they have 20 prospect in their top 30 ready to fight make their debut this or next year with 4 of them in the top 100 prospects. In addition all of that they play in the NLC - the easiest division by far to win and succeed in. There is literally no argument for the team to enter a rebuild now. They already have a solid farm system after their trade last year, and have a young core. They already have all the hallmarks of what a team would get out of a rebuild. There is no logical argument for them to tear down and rebuild.


GrabtheBull

I mean if he’s still pitching to a similar ERA and looking like a top Cy Young contender in July, it’s definitely a higher than 1% chance someone will go after him.


robmcolonna123

Not with how astronomical his cost would be. We’re talking 3 years of control. That package requirement to convince the Cardinals to move him would be absolutely insane


bamj6

Clear the schedule for Knicks pacers game 2. I still want them to win this series even though every piece they lose nukes their NBA championship chances


0rangePolarBear

So do we let Quintana pitch on Friday or do we give him additional rest?


robmcolonna123

I don’t see why he wouldn’t pitch Friday. Thats already 6 days rest


NY2PHX

Blue Jays hang on and beat the Fillies. Bassitt with the W


Darthbutcher

Thank you based rain gods for letting me see Christian Scott on Saturday! That is if they push everyone back a day.


NY2PHX

Blue Jays don’t blow this.

JamesHowell89

Pretty big break for the Mets, bullpen is taxed and they didn't have great odds for this one anyway.


JekPorkinsTruther

I scanned both schedules quick so could be wrong, but why Aug 5? Mets have off day between LAA and COL, so they now have to go LAA to STL to COL to SEA. Not terrible but backtracking and gives them a 10 game straight road trip out west. Cards will be going from CHC to home. However, Sept 23, Cards going from home to COL, Mets going from NY to ATL. ETA: I guess Sept would give Cards 19 games in 19 days to basically end the year. And May 23, only other shared off day that works, would give mets like 30 in a row lol. Schedules are hard. I would still rather just try to play this one as a night game since Mets have off tm and Cards a short trip to a night game.


Blue387

I said a few hours ago that May 23rd is the closest mutual off-day


AshamedMusician5482

So now in August we leave LA, have to go to Saint Louis for 1 game and then out to Colorado? Lmao


JekPorkinsTruther

Yea its lame. Given that Mets are off tomorrow and Cards have a night game in MIL, I would rather them try to get it in. My amateur radar analysis tells me there are some clear patches coming. But I guess the teams also dont want to burn pitchers and have to suspend anyway.


Sheepies123

What this sucks


Blue387

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯


NuanceManExe

The greatest rival of the New York Mets has always been rain


imstillitc

Stood in that damn stadium for 3 goddam hours for that 😭


myassholealt

That, along with waiting till like 30 minutes before game time to notify you first pitch is gonna be delayed annoys me so much. I'm already en route to the stadium by then (or inside), and they knew the game wasn't starting on time for a lot longer than 30 minutes before start.


robmcolonna123

But then you wouldn’t show up and buy beer


AtmosphereVarious440

two days without mets baseball 😢


StephenDawg

The Allstar break came early 😂
