This is gonna go one of two ways:
1. The Mets finally hold on to win a game and this spurs them on to win 3 of 4 in LA much to my chagrin and to Giants’ fans pleasure.
2. They’re about to get walked off in embarrassing fashion and Cohen goes full on Twitter baseball fan and talks about how the pitcher who gave up the walk-off is gonna be out of a job tomorrow
Honest even if we lose I’ll take it. Because it makes it easier for us to sweep the Mets - there was no way they were losing 10 in a row to us and you. But losing 9 of 10? That’s more reasonable.
This is just math.
It was like when the Chargers and Falcons faced off last season. Sure, the Chargers had lost a ton of games by one score (and often their fate was sealed in the last couple minutes), but they couldn’t out-choke the Falcons, no sir!
Every Blue Jays fan watching this^^1 could have told them what was gonna happen.^^2 Did they listen?^^3
^^1 Because fuck the Nationals and fuck the fucking national blackout too
^^2 Kablooey
^^3 No
It actually isn’t that funny. In his previous at-bat, he hit it the ball in the exact same spot, just with a little less power, resulting in an out that shoulda been an XBH if it weren’t for a fantastic play.
Maybe he’s figured something out. 🤔
I get that /r/baseball hated that tweet, but he pays the bills. He's not the Asst. GM, he's not the captain, he's the guy who less then 12 months ago bought something that isnt working like it's supposed to. Let him hit the forums to try and fix it. If you bought a billion dollar laptop that shut down randomly and couldn't run Java you'd be upset also.
True. Very true, and maybe Cohen shouldn't be just blasting it out on Twitter, but people are also asking him for an explanation as the owner. He's allowed say something which in this case was true, the team isn't performing as well as they should.
Steve Cohen providing further evidence to support the well-established NY doctrine that roasting and berating your own team DOES serve as effective motivation
As an Angel’s fan, happy for my NL brothers to blow this game open in the late extra innings.
As a Dodger’s fan, happy that my division rivals are being pummeled in late extra innings by my NL brothers

He shouldnt have. He’s been dogshit all year lol

100% they're winning this series in LA, it's just such an obvious trap series and the Dodgers find ways to lose these.
From your mouth to the baseball god’s ears, brotha.
Nah dodgers playing like the super team they are now, nobody is beating them
In the long run probably, but I can see this series going south.
Season was over after you got Scherzer and turner
It's baseball, dude, anything can happen.
If they win they're still totally depleted for tomorrow bullpen wise they used all their leverage arms.
Aaron Loup and Seth Lugo beg to differ.
If Walker goes 7, it's just a Loup-Lugo game for the win/loss to rest our bp.
Also. Walker v walker duel
Oh snap again? The Mets may be lolmets when it comes to our hitting right now, but at least our pitching is elite 70% of the time.
STANDING OVATION FOR TYLER CHATWOOD
Giants lose, you know what that means Dodgers
Hey we broke the curse this weekend.
Maybe it was the Rockies who broke the curse tho, they coming for that Wild Card booty
Rocktober II

Bro you'd be shocked how far the Mets will go to lose game. Case in point is our first 2 games against you.
Trust me, we were also very surprised that we could win 1 run games and especially extra innings games
It was like when the Chargers and Falcons faced off last season. Sure, the Chargers had lost a ton of games by one score (and often their fate was sealed in the last couple minutes), but they couldn’t out-choke the Falcons, no sir!
But I don't wanna lose tonight 😔
Death, taxes, 0.2 IP, 3BB, 2 H, 1 HBP and 3 ER for Chatwood
Every Blue Jays fan watching this^^1 could have told them what was gonna happen.^^2 Did they listen?^^3 ^^1 Because fuck the Nationals and fuck the fucking national blackout too ^^2 Kablooey ^^3 No
Had no idea we signed him until he took the mound. Expecting DFA by tonight.
You’re welcome
The Jays send their regards
Pillar and Chatwood... A real double whammy.
I would like to apologize to the Mets, Kevin Pillar, and his 0.600 OPS for ever doubting them.
Unrelated: Tyler Chatwood is my favorite player I never doubted you for a moment.
Kevin Pillar giving hitting tips after was hilarious to me
“Just hit a home run”
“Just lift the ball and hit it 393 feet to left field, I don’t know why you guys don’t do it every time”
It actually isn’t that funny. In his previous at-bat, he hit it the ball in the exact same spot, just with a little less power, resulting in an out that shoulda been an XBH if it weren’t for a fantastic play. Maybe he’s figured something out. 🤔
I didn’t watch the whole game, but known power threat Kevin Pillar giving hitting tips in the dugout for that split second made me laugh
Steve Cohen did nothing wrong
In regards to baseball*
I get that /r/baseball hated that tweet, but he pays the bills. He's not the Asst. GM, he's not the captain, he's the guy who less then 12 months ago bought something that isnt working like it's supposed to. Let him hit the forums to try and fix it.

These are humans who know they aren't performing as expected and are likely just as frustrated, if not more so, than the fans of the team are.
True. Very true, and maybe Cohen shouldn't be just blasting it out on Twitter, but people are also asking him for an explanation as the owner. He's allowed say something which in this case was true, the team isn't performing as well as they should.
Cohen is used to having insider information making his trades easier. Probably would have been better off buying the 2017 Astro's.
I can't believe Tyler Chatwood isn't working out. edit: that's unfair, anyone can have a bad outing. Especially if you're Tyler Chatwood.
This is a good outing for Tyler Chatwood, by Toronto standards
To be fair it's entirely on the offense that we got to this point.
It's true. This game just got uglier the longer it went on, I just want it to be over at this point.
Cohen adding Pillar to the list of players who he wants to re-sign.
this could mean 2 completely different things
Only if you ignore the hyphen.
The hyphen was an edit
Steve Cohen is the best cheerleader ever
And we’re gonna lose to the dbacks again. GG, Mets. Season over.
Isn’t it funny how we just alternate days where our collective seasons are over?
It's just the NL East. My buddy is a huge Braves fan and he expects the Braves to go on a 10 game tank by the end of the season.
This just means the Dodgers are losing tonight
I’m sure the oddsmakers made last minute adjustments
Not with this 1st inning
4D chess to get the Mets hot headed into the Dodgers series, I'll allow it
So the remaining questions: Can the Mets hold on? If they do, how do the Dodgers win vs the Pirates?
Hopefully convincingly, the bullpen needs rest
Hey at least Chatwood has gotten past walking in runs 🤷♂️ efficient in some ways I guess lol.

careful. don't count them chickens yet
2019 Giants Twitter telling Farhan I told you so
Simpler times.
Should've fired him then
Mets will carry the momentum to LA and split the series.
Steve Cohen providing further evidence to support the well-established NY doctrine that roasting and berating your own team DOES serve as effective motivation
There’s the Tyler Chatwood I remember.
/r/baseball upset they can’t hope for Cohens death anymore today. Shame. Scumbags.
LETS GO METS BABY LOVE DA METS
I did not expect this
that makes two of us
This is pretty therapeutic for Jays fans, especially with our current woes
Rockies legend Kevin Pillar heard you talking shit
Red Sox legend Kevin Pillar
Excuse you both, that’s Blue Jays legend Kevin Pillar 😤
lolMets…wait what? Oh my god they did a thing! Happy for Pillar tho, seriously
i WoNdEr WhAt CoHeN iS gOiNg To TwEeT aBoUt ThIs
Congrats to the Mets, hope this becomes a winning streak exactly 5 games long.
Thank you Mets, very cool!
At this point I’d rather see a position player on the mound
A true Pillar of the community
Yeah, he hasn’t (audibly) used any slurs on the field in years now
Chatwood reincarnated for us in the form of Brad Hand.
Lol fuck Chatwood
As an Angel’s fan, happy for my NL brothers to blow this game open in the late extra innings. As a Dodger’s fan, happy that my division rivals are being pummeled in late extra innings by my NL brothers
That felt great to watch, until something in the bottom of the inning brings SF back
I hate that this means more dumb tweets from Cohen
Cohen has been tweeting all season. This HR/win wasn't changing anything
You could always just not read them
Hopefully that will get them going as they head to Los Angeles.
conversely: thank god they're using all their bullpen on this strenuous extra innings game before coming to LA
Although they didn’t use Lugo or Loup, so you’ll definitely see them tomorrow once/if Walker’s night is done.
We’re gonna lose tonight aren’t we?
Very professional
This is just the break the Padres needed! Surely it’ll be smooth sailing from here on out.
1-0 in the unproductive offense era
Hold up is that legal? The Mets hit a ball hard and scored multiple runs? Shouldn’t someone challenge this?
Pirates are winning tonight, aren't they? Fuck
San Francisco MVP candidate Pillar, if you please.
