Skied ball, runner on third. Bruce should& #39;ve attacked this and there& #39;s no sacrifice. For whatever reason the infielder takes it and the runner gets home.

(I& #39;ll summarise this one myself for the thread)
Mets up 3-2, two runners on, 2 outs in the 8th, a save situation effectively, the best RP in baseball Edwin Diaz, not even warming.
Mets give up a Parra hit, 2 runs score.
Now 4-3 down to the Nats and guess who& #39;s warming up?

(Editors note)
The Mets were 4-3 down to the Nats - who are trying for the worst bullpen in history here. 3 run homer puts the Mets 6-4 up and, duly, back in a save situation.
(That is until the Nats give up a couple more)

Lugo gets Bryant out before walking Rizzo. Runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out.
At the start of the year, they said Edwin Diaz was only good for 3-out saves. Then they changed their mind and said "Max 4". This would& #39;ve been 5.
Lugo stays in.
Baez homers.

But if the Mets, in a lost season, are asking Smith to fight through discomfort and (let& #39;s be honest, they would), then this is insane. https://twitter.com/TimBritton/status/1155205172571836421?s=19">https://twitter.com/TimBritto...

Almost universally, nobody can really work out what the Mets are doing (it may pay to wait until the trade deadline closes to see what other moves they make).
They& #39;re still a long way back in the Wildcard, and their farm system just got even shallower.

Jacob deGrom just pitched 7 innings of 1 run ball against the Braves, even hit a home run.
Of course, it was their only run. He got a no decision as the Braves won in 14 innings.

Pretty worrying story out of the gate. If this was a home game then presumably he could& #39;ve been any number of places between the ballpark and home, but the Mets were in Atlanta, he could& #39;ve (you& #39;d think) only been in his hotel room...

The Mets lost both games of a double header vs the Marlins. They did not score a run all day.
But that& #39;s not why we& #39;re here. Marlins CF Jon Berti walked. Then stole 2nd. Then stole 3rd. Then this happened https://twitter.com/SNYtv/status/1298469597377691650">https://twitter.com/SNYtv/sta...

Unfortunately, though, the Mets had to Mets it up. Their players and coaching staff deserve credit that some of their high-level off-field staff do not. Which will be the focus of the rest of this thread.

How "accidental" that leak was I& #39;ll leave to you to decide. It& #39;s the Mets, anything is possible, but my lean is they knew what they were doing.
The games was finally announced as postponed, shortly before the start time, before the 42-second silence

But it& #39;s never that simple with the Mets. At around 7:18pm EST Brodie Van Wagenen released this statement:
