I don’t see a team other than dodgers who could “compete” with the Mets in a 7 game series. You think anyone beating degrom game 1-4-7???
VonPurpleHayes
Braves, Nats, Phillies, Padres. I think the Mets are definitely better than Nats and Phils, but they can certainly lose to them.
MetsFan22
Well yeah. If it was basketball I would disagree with you. But in baseball upsets happen all the time and those teams could beat the Mets. They have good teams.
IBackTheNats6
Lmao ok
Luc (Soto 3rd best in the game)
First of all its 1-5. By game 7 he would be super tired especially in the playoffs and if he doesn’t do that in RS. Also saying that stuff can easily back fire. Baseball is weird. Everyone chose Astros over Nats, who won same with Dodgers. I could see Mets do that but why say that. Your heart will be broken, I’ve had that feeling in 2017. Confidence is good but these statement are not smart
MetsFan22
Baseball is wired but I’ll bet my house this isn’t the 2017 team
Luc (Soto 3rd best in the game)
I was talking about my Nats being beat by the Cubs when I easilt thought they would win. Ik the Mets aren’t the 2017 team lol.
MetsFan22
Oh ok yeah.
MetsFan22
I meant game 1 game 4 and game 7.
Mets will not be a WC game. They’ll win division.
Luc (Soto 3rd best in the game)
So? lets say you sweep a division series. Degrom goes game 1 in the NLCS. His next start would be game 5 because game 4 is only 3 days rest. He could do that but by game 7 he would be way to tired and be shelled unless he goes 1 inning. Now a days pitchers go 3 games in 7 game series. WC or not

When is the last time someone went 3-0 in a World Series. Seldom. First I remember was Lew Burdette in 57’
MetsFan22
Um… game 1,5 and 7. Mets aren’t going to be competing in a WC game.
MetsFan22

VonPurpleHayes
@MetsFan22 You’re misunderstanding his comment. He is saying a single pitcher pitcher rarely goes 3-0 in a 7-game World Series.
MetsFan22
Oh yeah my bad. Thanks. True. I’m saying degrom would go 2-1 at least and the rest of the staff would only need to go 2-2
Angels & NL West
Yankeefan, good question. Not sure, but I feel like Gibson in ’67 and Lolich in ’68 may have done it. Im anxious to hear others that may have accomplished the feat that I have forgotten.
flmetfan
Gibson and Lolich and didn’t Randy Johnson win three in the WS of 2001?
VonPurpleHayes
It’s only happened 12 times with the most recent being Gibson in 67.
bseventeen
Lolich was 3-0 in 1968 and Randy Johnson was 3-0 in 2001
VonPurpleHayes
Ohh man. You’re totally right. Thanks for the correction.
flmetfan
That 2001 WS was a real great week of beisbol !
VonPurpleHayes
2001 is my favorite World Series nt involving teams I root for. Such a classic.
John Kappel
You could almost count MadBum in 2014. he started game 1, game 4 and then went what 4 it 5 innings in game 7?
Bjoe
Hot take: Mets miss the playoffs
Hudson6
@ MetsFan22
DeGrom’s average season record is 11 or 12 and 8. So he gets beat almost as often as he wins. This is not going to change in the playoffs.
It’s not necessarily his fault, but every pitcher gets beaten regularly.
realsox
I think Lee Burdette went 3-0 in the ‘57 World Series.
depressedtribefan
really disappointed in your lack of Shakespeare in your response
realsox
I’m pretty sure Yankeefan remembers correctly: Lee Burdette went 3-0 for the Braves in the ‘57 World Series.

Does fielding matter any longer? It appears that the White Sox have no intention of moving Tim Anderson to the outfield and finding a decent fielding shortstop. Hit over .300 and you can use a brick for a glove?
gbs42
It’s almost like you can look this stuff up in seconds. Yes, Burdette went 3-0 in the ’57 World Series.

Can’t imagine anyone picking DC over Marvel. Especially now with the success of the films, the Marvel universe is just way too strong.
