Oh, that dumb win probability. The @Mets go from 16% to 80% with one swing of the bat within the ninth. Win likelihood all the time ignores THAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO PLAY THE GAMES. If we won’t consider 16%, how can we consider 80%? Play the durn sport.

Kind of crazy/sad, but this is the 3rd most fun Mets team of my life. I’m 30. 2006 & 2015 are the only squads more fun than this one. How many times was this 2024 team down and out? They always responded. They found a way and are now off to the playoffs! pic.twitter.com/2RkDMP0v51
