SNY.TV: Should the Mets bring back Brandon Nimmo

Danny Abriano SNY.TV: How can Mets add needed influx of power to offense during 2022-23 offseason?

The Athletic pooled it's Mets reader's about top games of 2022 (the 7 run 9th inning comeback against Philly came in at #1) and they ask this question: If the Mets can only re-sign one player from the 2022 team, whom should they prioritize? -  Diaz came in 1st with 54%, deGrom 2nd at 27,9% and Brandon Nimmo 3rd with 17.5%.

Jon Heyman NY Post: Mets’ Billy Eppler inquired about Joe Musgrove with MLB before sticky-stuff check. "Sources say Mets general manager Billy Eppler messaged a league official about what was going on in Game 3 of the wild-card round after receiving several messages to his phone. Eppler made his contact earlier in the game, before Showalter approached the umpire, but a team source suggested it was more inquiry than complaint at that point."

1973

In Game Seven, the hometown A's capture their second consecutive World Championship, defeating the Mets, 5-2, when Darold Knowles, coming out of the bullpen with two outs and two on in the ninth, gets Wayne Garrett to pop out. The 31 year-old southpaw reliever, who hurls 6.1 Fall Classic innings without giving up an earned run en route to recording two saves, is the first pitcher to appear in all seven games of a World Series.

1986

After losing the first two World Series games at home, the Mets beat the Red Sox at Fenway Park, 7-1. Lenny Dykstra's first-inning home run marks the third time in history in which the Mets' leadoff hitter has homered in the initial inning of Game 3 of the Fall Classic. The feat was also accomplished by Tommy Agee (1969) and Wayne Garrett (1973).

 

2000

In the longest World Series game ever played, the Yankees take Game 1 of the Subway Series, thanks to Jose Vizcaino's 12th inning two-out single, defeating the Mets, 4-3, in four hours and fifty-one minutes. The victory surpasses the streak established by the Murderers' Row clubs, as the present Bronx Bombers win their 13th consecutive World Series game.

2015: The Mets complete a sweep of the Cubs in the NLCS with an 8 - 3 win at Wrigley Field. They score 4 runs in the 1st and 2 in the 2nd to run away with the game, while Daniel Murphy, who is named MVP of the series, sets a new postseason record by homering in his sixth straight game.
