FINAL: Mets 8, Braves 7
The Game of the Year. New York trailed, took the lead in spectacular fashion, blew it in even more spectacular fashion and regained it in the most spectacular fashion — a ninth-inning Francisco Lindor home run — to clinch a playoff spot.
What. A. Win.
@mike_petriello True but would you rather face 74 from memory or 200+ pitchers while knowing every pitch they throw and their dog’s middle name?
I’m not saying today is easier just adding context that it’s not a perfect comparison, I’d still think 74 is easier
@bawfuls@Buster_ESPN@SlangsOnSports Labeling that ‘total value’ seems odd no? If we’re putting a value on future money for Ohtani today I’d assume you’d want to value Lindor’s money owed 8 years from now today too. it’s worth more if it were to be paid today than 8 years from now regardless if he’s playing or not
@HaroldoAtLarge@Buster_ESPN@SlangsOnSports So can you explain why the tweet has me thinking Lindor’s $32m salary in year 10 is viewed as $32m today but Ohtani’s $68m salary 11 years from now is less than $68m?m today?
Already dreading the John Sterling home run call for Juan Soto
“Ohhhh Soto, you’re just like Toto—he sent that ball to Africa and blessed the rains down in the bleachers, and the Yankees cut the deficit to 12!”
Mike Adams is currently a free agent and deserves a chance with any team. He began his career with the Phillies organization in 2021. The pitcher put up great numbers that season in Triple-A putting up a 3.65 ERA. He has great fastball ranging from 94-97 MPH. Anyone can use him as a good righty option out the bullpen. SOMEONE SIGN THIS MAN!!!
List of people my 30 year old wife has told me in the last two weeks alone that she doesn’t know who they are when I mention them:
-Margot Robbie
-98 Degrees
-Mark Wahlberg
Largest decrease in Playoff Odds from Opening Day to August 14th, since FanGraphs started them in 2016
1. 2019 Red Sox: 90.3% ➡️ 6.6%
2. 2023 METS: 77.1% ➡️ 0.9%
3. 2023 YANKEES: 81.2% ➡️ 6.1%
It may not be a stretch to say this is the most disappointing season in the history of New York baseball
