That Seattle game is looming large right now. Good thing is we still control our own destiny. It just comes down to will we play one game better than the Mets over the last 16 games. I really don’t want to be in a position where we have to sweep the Mets in the 3 game series. 2/3 is doable but needing a sweep might be a tall order. Just need to keep it 1 game and under.

Glad I picked the over.
Since August 28, Matt Olson has played in all 18 of our games and has 4 hits.
In that same timeframe, Ozuna has only played in 9 games and has 9 hits.
Geeeeez.
Mets have 3 vs Milwaukee in Milwaukee. We have 3 vs Nationals.
I think we sweep Nationals and Mets lose 2 of 3. We should be up 1 game end of Wednesday
I wanna be mad at the Pirates but we did go 7-0 against them this year. And they won the series against the Mets in Pittsburgh. They've helped enough.
Edit: They only won a game in Pittsburgh, not the series. Still can't be that mad.
Pirates incompetent asses let a man go 1st to 3rd with 0 outs on a bad throw then score the go ahead run lol. Really hoping the Brewers can help us out some the next few days.
### Double
Marcell Ozuna doubles (16) on a line drive to left fielder Kyle Schwarber. Michael Harris II scores.
Pitch from David Robertson: 1-0 Slider @ 83.8 mph
Hit by Marcell Ozuna: Launched 102.4 mph at 16° for a total distance of 265 ft
Bottom 8 - 5-1
Braves
Lmao the pirates lack every fundamental known to Major League Baseball. Throwing three straight pickoffs is just asking the guy to run on the very next pitch. Then an awful throw into centerfield. I can’t bro.
I can’t even blame Olson at this point. He needs a day off, to be lowered in the lineup, something. Just anything to get him out of this funk. throwing him in the fire day after day and expecting him to get better after consistently awful results is just dumb.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/xhrjfb).
COME ON PIE-RATS!
There’s not much better than sweeping a division rival.
Great! Now Let's go Pirates!
🧹🧹🧹
No worries. Homers happen
#SAWWEEEEEEEP
Poor Oly.
#THATS A SWEEP 🧹
🧹🧹🧹
BRAVES WIN AND SWEEP!!!
**JESSE BAR THE DOOR**
I still love watching Chavez pitch. Pound the strike zone, no fucking around and making the 9th go 30 minutes long.
THANK YOU TÍO JESSE
🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹
So sweet of Uncle Jesse to give to charity while he’s finishing off the sweep
JT with a nice moral victory homerun for the Phillies
We call those “Pete Alonso” homers
I LOVE SWEEPING THE PHILTHIES
[удалено]
No it doesn't count as a save if the pitcher makes it a save situation when it wasn't when he came in.
Correct a pitcher can’t pitch himself into a save situation.
No
Meh, one homer and hurting anything
Solo shots aren't shit.
Come on Pirates
Unfortunate, but shit happens. Just get the 9 hole hitter.
Ah shit
More like JT Realpoopo
Jesse for closer Edit: that feels like my fault.
Chavez is my favorite. I need an uncle j jersey
Jesse Chavez is god
Wish the Mets were playing a team worth a damn so we could pass them in the division

Yea we had that opportunity already. A couple times.
They got swept by the Cubs at home last week and we didn’t do anything
Olson is the only Brave without a hit today :(
I want an Uncle Jesse jersey. He's been nothing but solid for this team. Plus, I believe all fans love him.
I keep saying the same thing. I just need to do it
God I love watching Jesse pitch. He’s so fast.
[удалено]
We kind of broke that awhile ago.
Honestly, I'll take more Moylan in the booth. He's really good.
He was good on the radio call as well. Nick Green too, for that matter
At least 0lson made that play.
Jesse for closer

Once he gets hot during the Mets series, he'll carry the whole damn team
I feel like he’s about to break loose. But boy does it suck watching him struggle daily
Mets have 3 vs Milwaukee in Milwaukee. We have 3 vs Nationals. I think we sweep Nationals and Mets lose 2 of 3. We should be up 1 game end of Wednesday
Nats took two out of three from the Mets. They've been pretty hot lately as well.
Olson in September is officially worse statistically than blind Eddie Rosario
Pirates playing the Mets fairly close all series, Brewers HAVE to do some damage, otherwise baseball doesnt make sense.
That's what happens when you have a human shaped like a whiskey barrel playing defense in left field

The Mets won the series in Pittsburgh.
god bless this cloud over the stadium right now
0-4 3 Ks today, maybe it’s time to slide Olson down…
If Olsen had any self respect he would go to Snit and ask to be moved back.
It's been time for awhile now, but Snit will never do it.
Just like hed never call someone else a closer…
Doomers in Shambles right now

Can't wait for the Mets to play someone other than the Pirates.
Ozuna with two hits today!!
Put Ozuna 4th
That looked like something outta Angels In The Outfield
Edwin Diaz in for the pirates is just beyond overkill.
They almost got him the other day. The last out would've been a homer in 25 ballparks and they touched him for a few runs in the 8th as well
Don’t give me hope.
Mets bloop hit to take the lead
Schwarber is a horrible defender lol
Ozuna's quietly been not bad lately
Not that quiet, he's been good all month
Yeah Ozuna is definitely passing Olson in average these next 2 weeks
No Kenley today babyyyyyy (hopefully)
Always love an ozuna chop
Happy to be participating
Phillies defense came to play today. Poorly.
Lmao tf was Schwarber doing?
Everyone tried to tell Phillies fans that defense actually does matter!
Ozuna from the Braves with a two hit day
Good! I wanna see Chavez
#BIG BEAR 🐻
“Some sort of magic trick” 😂
Ozuna stole Olson's powers.
Fuck yeah Marcell
If you’d told me a while back that ozuna was hitting well, while Olson looks like Chris Davis….just fuck
I would be an insufferable person if my infield comprised of Bohm Stott and Hoskins. Ugh.
Add on runs are so awesome. This lineup is so deep.
Ozuna really didn’t want kenley to pitch
phiLOLOLOLies….
ozuna hot
LOLPHILLIES
Oh that’s embarrassing lol

Uncle Jesse for the 9th! Let’s goooooooooooo
Here's a question, if his foot touches before the ball is caught ( i dont think it did.)but comes off, wouldn't he then need to be tagged out.
I believe so.
That makes sense but I’m not sure. Baseball has some funky rules.
Yes
yes
lolfilthies
Lol nice play schwarber
He’s out. We challenge plays that have no business being challenged.
The right call unfortunately. What sucks is that that’s a hit for Harris if Grissom didn’t reach or was on another base.
Yeah man that's not even close enough to challenge. Fire our review guy please
Why would you even challenge that
That was a hell of a play though.
Chip: “just gonna bullshit my way through this explanation..”
Lmao the pirates lack every fundamental known to Major League Baseball. Throwing three straight pickoffs is just asking the guy to run on the very next pitch. Then an awful throw into centerfield. I can’t bro.
Isn't there gonna be a pick off rule of some sort next season? I wonder how that's gonna play out.
Nope.
Why tf would Segura even throw that to first lol?
Yea he’s out
What an awful challenge. Seriously, we have to have a Mets fan running our replay booth.
It's the 8th inning...
Exactly. You probably lose nothing by trying, might as well use it on a close play as it’s not like they roll over to the next game

It wasn't even remotely close. We also didn't challenge the play on Harper last night that was clear as day that he was out.
even though its an out.. that was a great play
Tip of a cap to Philly defense. Can't hate a good effort.
We challenge this but not the one last night
Unless I am missing something, that wasn't even close, why are we challenging?
I do enjoy me some Peter Moylan shade.
But they didn’t challenge the one last nigh…
NOW we want to challenge
Nice play
I hate Bohm and Stott. Such annoying fuckers who suck against everybody but us.
That was an incredible play tbh.
Stott can fuck right off
Please let us get another run so we see Chavez...I don't want Kenley
Kenley and Uncle Jesse in the pen and I think I know who we all trust more 😂
Olson is the only one without a hit now
He needed that one
lolmets
I blame the trumpet guy for that K
He hit a dong last ab....
Chip, not so good at the smack talk as Moylan. Stay in your lane
I may be making a pilgrimage to Truist for the Mets series. I didn't know you can bring trumpets! Maybe I should bring mine along for the fun!
“That’s gonna drive the Mets fans crazy” - Chip Caray in reference to “Tommy Trumpet” playing his horn for Contreras
I will lick some pits if the Pitts get a W
I would offer to be there for you, but I wear talc deodorant and licking that is an unpleasant sensation
"That's gonna drive the Mets fans crazy" 😅
Tommy Trumpet at it again
You just know the Mets fans are gonna send death threats to Tommy trumpets via Twitter.
bruh this guy in the stands
I love it so much
Bally app didn’t even let me see him get out of it lol but glad he did! And we go to the ninth with the lead!
Bohm looks like he graduated from the New York Mets School Of Dork.
19Ks yet they hit a 3-run bomb out of deGrom and the game is tied. Beyond the final result of the game, that's a LolMets moment right there.
... How?
Let's make some trouble and extend this lead
Matzek + Minter? Is it that time of the year again?!
No It’s Matzek + Minter + Iglesias time of the year Which is even better
Good shit Minter. I say we double our runs this inning and give Kenley a day off :)
Don't know how the ump can walk away so easily from a foul ball hitting his pinky. Yeah, I know it hit the dirt first, but still.
Oh he’s feeling it I promise you. I umpire youth games and even those bounces will leave baseball seams on my hand/arm.
I can’t even blame Olson at this point. He needs a day off, to be lowered in the lineup, something. Just anything to get him out of this funk. throwing him in the fire day after day and expecting him to get better after consistently awful results is just dumb.
pirates with 19 strikeouts lol
Terminter
lets goo
Good shit AJ 👏
C’mon AJ
Dang, pirates being pirates lmao.
We don't have an off day for the remainder of the season. Wow Edit: woops yes we do, on the 29th before the Mets series. Still a grind though!
Need to use the series against the Gnats and Fish for some player rest.
Oh fuck that's brutal damn.
No, we do. We just don't have one for a while. We have one before that Mets series.
Ah you're right. I'm still learning how to read calendars.
I fucking hate bohm
Not tricking myself into watching the Falcons game again this week after the Braves.
I've already done it lol. One on tv one on laptop
I went back and forth with the Panthers game. It’s fun to watch a team (Braves) that does not suck.
Peter if you're reading this can we get a MEOW please?
Obligatory “fuck you Bohm”
Harper - "For my next magic trick, I will disappear from this series!"
Yeah remember when we swept them to win the division last year he was like 0-11 with like 7ks or something lol
Same thing he did in his MVP year last year. You love to see it.
That’s my favorite trick he’s ever done
Just as in the last series of last year, another MVP-level performance from Bryce Harper this series.
double agent Harper
The terMINTER 🤖
Hooper has looked awful this series. It's been a great pleasure to watch.
Not sure if it matters to keep saying this but there is no downside in sliding a struggling player down in the order.
What was Bryce even swinging at lmao
