Arizona Fall League:

Box Score - Surprise Saguaros 6 Peoria Javelinas 2: Brandon McIlwain RF 0 for 4, 3 Ks.

Yesterday in the Athletic Keith Law scouted the Arizona Fall League (subscription required) saying this about Mike Vasil: "Vasil was 94-96 mph on Friday night with high spin on the pitch, showing a mid-80s slider and a few mid-80s changeups as well...The most likely outcome here is reliever, but I still see the starter ingredients and think he could take another step forward in 2023"

Amazing Avenue: Revisiting the Mets’ 2006 NLCS loss to the Cardinals. It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.

National Pastime.com:

1986

At Shea Stadium, Steve Crawford is the winning pitcher in the Red Sox' 9-3 victory over the Mets in Game 2 of the World Series. The right-handed reliever, who was 0-2 before the start of the postseason, becomes the first hurler to win a Fall Classic contest after being winless during the regular season.

1999

The Braves stroll into a World Series berth with their 10-9 walk-off victory against the Mets at Turner Field in Game 6 of the NLCS. Atlanta has their ticket punched to the Fall Classic when Kenny Rogers issues a base on balls to Andruw Jones with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the 11th inning to force in Gerald Williams with winning run.

 

2006

For a new generation of fans, the term "the Catch" may conjure up memories of Endy Chavez's NLCS Game 7 leaping catch at Shea's left-field fence with his outstretched glove, grabbing a ball destined to be a Scott Rolen two-run home run, and starting an unbelievable double play. The heroics are overshadowed in the ninth inning as Yadier Molina hits a two-run homer and Carlos Beltran, who has the best HR ratio (11/81) in postseason history, looks at a third strike with the bases loaded with Mets, giving the Cardinals a 3-1 victory and the pennant.
