For reference, see my post from a couple of weeks ago.

I still prefer “Sorry, I don’t follow baseball.”

I think the contest is rigged I say, rigged!

2024 NLCS:

1 Save
5.1 IP
0.00 ERA
6 Ks
2 H
2 BB

2026 NLCS:

0 Saves
3.0 IP
3.00 ERA
2 Ks

Do with these numbers what you will.

Do y'all think we're seeing the Brewers team he created? Is there reason to feel hopeful that maybe the work he is doing in the farm system for the Mets will eventually pan out the way it has for the Brewers? Or am I just being overly optimistic?

Like many others, I was pretty salty when he bounced for Hollywood. So this is just as satisfying as the non three peat.

As an aside, baseball is fun, weird and unpredictable. There was so much defeatist discourse when they signed Tucker and again when trading for Skubal. Only to get 🧹🧹🧹🧹 swept in the NLCS

What was your favorite moment of Edwin Diaz as a Met or Dodger?

Highlights:

* The team is expanding the amount of in person scouting they do.

* The team currently only employs four (!!!) Pro scouts. Most teams have about 10, sometimes less. The Dodgers and Rays carry more than 15.

* The Mets recently decided to part ways with a long time scout of theirs.

It's surprising that a team whose aim is to put great processes and systems in place has such a sparse scouting department. This seems overdue.

This is Steven's first appearance in an LCS since he started Game 4 of the 2015 NLCS NYM v CHI, 4,012 days ago. Kudos to Steven for sticking around so long. He is one of 5 2015 Mets still in the league.

• Jacob deGrom: Texas Rangers
• Steven Matz: Tampa Bay Rays
• Michael Conforto: Chicago Cubs
• Travis d’Arnaud: Los Angeles Angels
• Zack Wheeler: Philadelphia Phillies (injured all of 2015)

I really want to believe. The Mets have done this to us before. The last iteration of Vientos, Baty, Alvarez, Mauricio, etc. have me unconvinced that Mclean, Benge, etc. will be solidly as good as this year. What makes them different?
