Harvey plan: to start once in NLDS

Driving to Work With Keith Hernandez, the Real Mr. Met

They talked once in the general manager’s office. Mr. Alderson laid out spread sheets of Mr. Hernandez’s at-bats on his desk.

“He says, ‘Keith, we’re just looking for hitters like you,’ ” Mr. Hernandez says. “I told him: ‘Sandy, I had a good eye but I didn’t go up there looking to walk. I swung the bat.’ ”

is deGrom really not starting vs WAS? Twelve days off seems awfully dicey for the Division Series start.

@kirkmin
According to two sources, NESN is interested in Ron Darling as Dave O'Brien's partner for Sox telecast next year.

Collins began to question the prudence of placing Steven Matz in the Division Series rotation, especially if the southpaw does not pitch this weekend. Matz is dealing with upper-back stiffness on his right side. Collins noted that if Matz is included in the opening-round roster and then is unable to pitch and is replaced, rules stipulate that he would be ineligible for the NLCS as well.

With those insights from Collins in mind, let's now project Bartolo Colon in the NLDS rotation instead of Matz, which opens a bullpen spot for Sean Gilmartin.

Cespedes leaves game after HBP on hand, hold yr breath

no break, contusions to two fingers

@AdamRubinESPN
Juan Uribe has shown "very little" improvement and is seeing a doctor today. Doesn't sound promising for NLDS availability.

apparently the ron darling to NESN thing ain't happening, which i am tooooootally fine with

like to think Mets want that homefield over LAD, but Terry trotted out Cuddyer 1B, Nieuwenhuis RF, Campbell 3B, Plawecki C today and got shut out.

actually Kirk N got 3 of the 6 hits, so my apologies to him

New York Mets reliever Hansel Robles has been suspended three games for throwing in the direction of the head of Philadelphia Phillies catcher Cameron Rupp during the sixth inning of Wednesday's game.

The suspension applies only to the regular season, not the playoffs. So, if appealed, any remaining suspension would roll over to next season.

i'd really prefer they call this game i have tix for (and see Virginia Plain another time)

Nats told split doubleheader Saturday -- 1:10 pm./7:10 pm, per Mark Zuckerman. #mets #nats

‏@AdamRubinESPN
Sandy Alderson says there's still no clarity about whether MLB would have the Mets play Monday if games cannot be completed this weekend.

i have a second ticket available for 1:10 if anyone likes windy games.

exchangeable for next year, so i'm not going

haven't scored in 23 innings

possibly related: Seinfeld will be in the TV booth for the second game.

the idea that this lineup might score off Scherzer is fanciful

no hits thru 5

Shitty Saturday may not be over; Dodgers get LDS homefield if they win tonight.

Clearly audible yell from stands over Max Scherzer no-hitter celebration, "GET OFF MY FIELD, ASSHOLE" #LGM

Mets IP increases (playoffs included, compared to previous high):

Syndergaard +65-2/3
Harvey +37-2/3
deGrom +37-1/3
Matz +15-2/3

copying and pasting here but this is a pretty fuckin great season from a guy who was pretty maligned from the start of his contract

Curtis Granderson - .259/.364/.457 with 26 home runs, 70 RBI, and 98 runs scored

happy anniversary of the cuddyer signing

must you?
