Apparently the Mets were willing to play on Monday and the league (or Braves) shot it down.

Very possible both games get postponed and the Mets won't leave for Milwaukee until Friday. Imagine the Mets having to play a doubleheader on Saturday, leave for Atlanta Sunday evening, play a doubleheader Monday, then fly to San Diego or LA for the wild card round Monday night. Now, that would be insane!

I'm confused...I thought they are going to play a doubleheader this coming Monday? Do you mean the Mets saw the weather coming and wanted to play the game this past .Monday?

It'll be an interesting weekend to follow the NL wildcard race. I'm hoping for the following unlikely scenario.

• The D'backs sweep the Padres
• The Mets sweep a Brewers team which is locked into the #3 seed and has nothing to play for
• The Braves sweep the Royals
• The Braves sweep the Monday doubleheader

That would be a four way tie. I have no idea how the tie breakers would work out.

Ranger pithing is alarming, 42 pitches, 5 hits, 4 runs in the first

Yeah, that was a step backwards. He showed signs of improvement (velocity and location) in his last outing, so only getting through 2 innings tonight, and giving up 6 runs, is not what you'd like to see in his last start before the playoffs.

They are in trouble. Can’t get through the playoffs with 3 starting pitchers.

But they can. @Tom McAndrew posted the 4th starter stats over the past two postseasons. He made 2 and 3 starts respectively. It lowers the margin for error but they can still advance.

Not Phils related, but watching some of ChiSox-Tigers on MLB. Great to see a full house in Detroit to watch their team hopefully clinch a wild card spot. What a turnaround and AJ Hinch should be in the running for MOTY.

@Grant Green are you still confident in Ranger for the playoffs? He looked Walker-esque last night.
