I agree with Plaschke. Foot on their necks. Gotta stay agressive. And if Dave wanted to go with a bullpen game, then commit to using your bullpen. Knack should have been pulled way before giving up the slam
What a punt!! The pressure was on the Mets, after laying an egg in game 1!! And the Dodgers try to gift wrap a home game!?! Its not complicated, put the guy in who gives you the best chance to win the game!! Off day tmrw, then 3 in NY. Worrying about Wed and Thurs when there's a game Monday afternoon!!
The mets hit off of a rookie that's only on the team due to injuries, you faced none of our guys that shutdown the Padres so calm down champ 😅😅. But we fans don't like the fact that we didn't play to win this game, so hopefully this bone headed don't cost us this series
@@michaelsmith5801 Hopefully it does 🙏🏾 . Bad decisions and managers are part of the game. Sometimes a move works,and sometimes it doesn’t(like us throwing out a Senga who was clearly not his usual self). LFGM💙🧡 ALL DAY AND EVERY DAY!!!!
Dodgers had multiple opportunities to get more runs. Knack sucked, but the bats dont get off here either. That double play in the 6th changed everything. Anyways, that was the Ace of the Mets. Still sitting good.
Manea and the other starters are all within the samed realm of each other. You still have to go though Peterson / Senga combo, Severino (who has had a good season) and Manea again. If Senga finds himself too and Ohatni doesnt start hitting, you guys are toast. Mets have nothing to lose either. Dangerous situation for the dodgers.
If pitching a rookie in a critical moment and not pulling him with two outs and bases loaded is what it takes to manage a big league team then maybe even I could do it.
@@MiChaeng567if vs reality my guy. The reality is he struggled getting the bottom of the lineup out and should've been taken out way before the slam. Play to win every game in October, that simple.
@crdudley If you think like that, put in a resume. List me as a reference because that was my question. Then when 2 strikes, why try and get him to chase in the same spot and miss it three times? How many times try that spot low and outside before you figure out he is not chasing? Then with 3 balls and bases loaded, he had to come in and threw a giant meatball.
@@JackAPowers I agree, but I don’t blame Knack. He’s a rookie. I liked using him for one inning on a short hook even when the game is still close, get him that experience, etc… He’s got good stuff and probably is a real good tool for the future. I don’t even blame him for a the meatball or Smith for the call, pitchers are just going to blow it sometimes and Smith’s been stellar with his tactics, if they’d got the chase and the out, I might even be one of the guys saying Dave was brilliant, tbh. But I was screaming at the tv to pull Knack and got frustrated.
You guys haven't tasted the Mets hit parade yet in the playoffs. The Mets have came from behind multiple times against Brewers and Phillies. Don't forget if you think Vientos is gonna beat you then comes Alonso, Winkler, Nimmo, Lindur, or Alvarez. This is the Houston Astros lineup of 2017. Dodgers are gonna choke because they are not used to playing from behind, where the Mets have played from behind all season.
As a mets fan I love your enthusiasm and mostly agree except for the fact the dodgers have the second most come from behind wins this season with the Mets being first.
Respect my guy, trust me we're not overlooking the mets, but our top hitter went 0 for 21 yesterday so best believe that's not going to continue. See y'all Wednesday.
Dodgers have come from behind scoring as many as 8 runs their last at bat to barely win a game. Just came off a down 1-2 series playing an away game first. to win 3-2. The Dodgers think they are never out of a game. And they don't have to hold up a toy 'OMG' sign when they do something good to prove it.
@@JackAPowers The Dodgers have not playing from behind during the postseason as much. They only played 1 series. The Mets had to play hard all month long starting Sept to get here. I think Dodgers are gonna fall just like the Phillies.
Us fans are highly upset we pitched a rookie in this game, not being cocky but we didn't pitch any of our top guys and we should've, but all hands on deck from now on, so to be continued.
Dave Roberts really screwed up here, to think they won 9-0 on the 1st game and doesn't respect the Mets by putting up a bullpen game thinking they can get it done.
Pitching Knack in the 2nd inning was a huge mistake. Either Banda or Honeywell should've been in the 2nd. But if the top of your order is going 0-19, you're not going to win many games. Have to take 2/3 in New York.
I would've gone kopech for an inning or two then going to either them but I think a bullpen game was the wrong move all together. Burning out the pen when vesia and Hudson are down, it needs to be managed carefully going forward.
Nah it’s not a must win. We just saw them win against the padres even though they lost game 3. You are over exaggerating. As long as the dodgers win when Yamamoto and Flaherty start they are fine even if they lose game 3.
@@Deerjason Padres series with 24 consecutive scoreless innings? Yeah that's not happening again lol. Those high leverage guys are not automatic, we all saw how erratic Treinen and Kopech can be with control at times. If they win game 3, LA will be in great shape
@@michaelsmith5801 ok, if u believe it’s a must win, then put all of your money on the Mets if they win game 3. No? Clearly that’s because it’s not a must win. You are throwing out the term “must win” so much to where “must win” doesn’t have any meaning anymore besides “win so the next game isn’t a must win”.
@@Deerjason It's a must win because momentum is huge in postseason. If the Mets win, they have 2 games to put the Dodgers away at home. That is huge. If the Dodgers win, this means they can go home and the Mets must win atleast 1 on the road. Timezone changes are big for both teams. Whoever gets back to their comfort time zone is a huge deal.
Trust me fam, we're not overlooking the mets, we fans our very upset we didn't play this game to win it in flucking October, hopefully this 🤡 ass decision don't bite us in the ass.
If key pieces of the bullpen, that helped against San Diego, are missing then why isn't it prudent to start Buehler for the sake of keeping the bullpen fresh on two days off? This is a fumble on Dave and a game, the way manaea pitched, where you take the 3 runs you managed to scratch out and try to protect it for a tough win because that's what this game should've been, a win. Instead it's tied one a piece with a bullpen on one day rest and they're betting on a 50 50 chance the starter is lights out again. It's not the Mets that are going to win out of sheer talent, it's the arrogance of the dodgers management betting on the Mets to fall flat on their face and not being aggressive enough to want close out this series fast enough.
Who makes the post season and doesnt have a starting pitcher in game 2. Like coach gave up and threw in the towel for game 2. Also, gave Mets and their slumping hitters confidence letting them tee off on these bad pitchers
Dodgers just lost the series, now it’s a best of 5 series and the Mets have home field advantage. Dodgers top 5 hitters went 0 for 19 and Edman had 3 of the 5 hits, really? This has nothing to do with Knack, offense couldn’t hit.
Spoken like Dodger fan base sycophants. Mets have a great team guys. You're just like typical Dodger fans, citing your assumed superiority right down to the last out, then losing by 3 runs batted in, in the 9th. Ohtani is not looking super confident like he did all season, what's with that? And it's guaranteed to only get worse once he discovers Mets fans crawling down his throat. His dog won't save him from Mets fans. While putting him down in the lineup will only make him perform worse. And Freddy Freeman is playing on a bad hinge (as great as he is) he's gonna have sit a few innings out this year. Sorry to inform.. There's no punting in Baseball.
Ohtani is going to do his thing, but we're waiting for our all-star catcher to participate, FYI we're 2nd or 3rd in runs scored and home runs, so to be continued.
You guys are talking like the Mets are not a good team. If the Dodgers lost and they used up their best pitchers to win this game, imagine the storm they would be in when they went to New york. Their team only scored 3 runs. He is playing it safe. Leave it at that.
I DONT KNOW WHY THE DODGERS STOOD AWAY FROM THE SMALL BALL. THERE IS A SAYING IF ITS NOT BROKEN DONT FIX IT. ITS VERY HEAD SCRATC8NG, THESE GAMES ARE FOR US TO BE IN THE WORLD SERIES. STOP MANAGING LIKE ITS JUST A REGULAR SERIES.
Not to make excuses with starting/bullpen pitching but we are missing Dustin May, Clayton Kershaw, Tony Gonsolin, Tyler Glasnow, Joe Kelly and probably more that I can’t think of rn… Hopefully we can bounce back in Game 3!
At least the Dodgers don't have to hold up a toy 'OMG' sign to the camera for the world to see when they do something good. The Dodgers show signs of their good do good by their play on the field.
These guys are so arrogant. Don’t forget, it is getting COLD in NY. Let’s see how the Los Angeles softies deal with cold weather. It’s a different ballgame. The ball doesn’t travel as well, and Citi Field is notorious for swirling winds. LGM!!!!
I think it was a necessity because of injuries. There is a strategy for a 7 game series. Your team has 3 MVP batters. They have to perform when teammates are down.
They were gonna have a Bullpen game anyway in this series...but they shouldn't have done it in game 2. Buehler should have started game 2....he had 5 days of rest already...
Bill Plaschke always a negative second guesser. Game 1 Mets got their butt kicked. Mets went back to the hotel and crashed. Dodgers stayed up late from the "Win High". Game 2 was at one o'clock in the afternoon. For the Mets it was 4 o'clock Eastern time. Mets were ready, Dodgers were flat all game.
As Mets fan haven't followed the Dodgers. Why are they doing all these bullpen games? We've feasted on bullpens from beating the Braves to get in the playoffs and throughout the playoffs.
Their starting pitching was decimated by injuries and if they didn't pitch a bullpen game now it would've been later in the series with even more at stake
They don't have a choice at the moment with the amount of pitchers hurt. The bullpen games have actually been effective at times, like it was against the Padres. Roberts just didn't do it correctly this time.
Bull Pen Game ?! I think the Dodgers exerted alot of energy against San Diego and it's going to show more in New York. Jet Lag fatigue and Cooler temperatures will be a factor.
Unmitigated disaster!! This loss is squarely on Dave Roberts. As soon as Knack started to struggle he should have gone to a different pitcher. The team was completely deflated after the grand slam. Ohtani along with the rest of the top of the lineup need to hit, but this loss is on Dave Roberts.
The Dodgers are a Formidable Opponent. They are definitely the favorites. The METS proved the can stop the Dodgers Offensive and can beat them. Otani is cold. Will the Dodgers get colder in Citi Field ?! Will the METS get Hotter ?!
Dave has schemes, yes. Knack doesnt belong in the majors. Period. We saw the Mets pitcher in Game 1 implode and had no idea Dave had someone on his roster who could top that THAT EARLY in the Game 2. How utterly weird is this series so far?
Plashke is being over dramatic. Knack is in there because we have a whole team of pitchers hurt. Kelly, Graterol, Vesia also our starting pitching. If we had another starter, they could have been a long relief guy eating up innings. Like Urias was in 2020. Also, the hitting was missing again. We didn’t cash in the opportunities we had. Lefty side arm to a lefty batter is tough to hit off of. So kept Ohtani at bay. Lastly, it’s hard to imagine that the dodgers were gonna shut down and keep everyone scoreless and sweep the Mets and whoever goes to the World Series. Felt good but in realistic. I support Roberts, it’s up to the players to perform. Go dodgers!
The dodgers gave this game away on purpose. Las Vegas had something to do with it. They could have gone with buhler, best bullpen pitcher, game over. They intentionally lost this game
A third-grade paper would be marked incorrect if "scuffle" were used to mean "struggle feebly" (unless the teacher herself unmindfully adopted sporswriting buzzwords born of ignorance). If only the Times had such high standards.
Def knew it wasn’t gonna be a sweep, but I was hoping to win the first two, also questioning why Knack was pitching in the second? I love Landon but he should only pitch with a good lead… Not concerned, let’s go Dodgers, NL CHAMPS IN6️⃣💙❗️
It was a bull pen game but not a legit bull pen game. The Dodgers have 3 starting pitchers left for a 7 game series what do you want them to do? I understand the gas pedal mentality but we needed our stud hitters today to step up and they didn't. The Dodgers also can't risk another injury to a starter or the bull pen. If one of those starting pitchers doesn't have it, or can't go 5 innings, expect the bull pen to come in much sooner. So I think this was rest day for the actual bull pen which is why we saw pitchers like Knack, Honeywell, and Henriquez. I mean think about it, the Dodgers didn't use any of their best pitchers and still could have almost won this game if the big bats didn't go quiet.
The Mets should have scored 12 runs in this game if Alvarez would have got one hit. The dodgers don't have enough pitching. Buy game 5 bullpen will be cooked.LGM
Where is terrible lineup for pitching the bullpen I didn't even know half the pictures and they should have took knack out as soon as he loaded the bases Roberts did a terrible job with a bullpen we should have won that game he should have done the same thing he did against the Padres that was perfect what the hell's wrong with him
bullpen game was the dumbest idea. Walker had 5 days of rest. just start him and if he sucks then put in the scrubs. Friedman's obsession with bullpen games is so dumb. stop trying to be cute and think like you're some genius playing 4d chess. just play the goddamn game. they thew away this game for no reason.
BRASIER just couldnt get through one without giving up a RUN to break the record of consecutive SHUTOUT innings??? WHAT??? Especially when he was ahead of the COUNT, then he throws an 80mph right down the PIPE??? At least put up a PITCHER that has a less era then 5.0, just for one inning🙆 Then ROBERTS tries to experiment with a PROSPECT that only talent seems to be in making RASPBERRIES with his lips!!!🙄 Then
Not starting Buehler today was a mistake. Next game, start Yamamoto. Stop telling Shohei to play small ball (because every time they tell him to do that with Angels, it goes wrong). Let him go after every HR opportunity. Game 4 is Flaherty start again. Come Game 5, let's go with Buehler (a true redemption game). Game 6 is bullpen redemption game.
Buehler already listed to start 3. If it goes six we have Flaherty back, game 7 maybe Buehler on short rest. The bullpen hardly needs redemption. That was mostly our AAA pitchers.
The answer is Hudson was burned the night before? When up 9-0? So the question becomes, "Why did Roberts burn Hudson instead of Knack the night before when up 9-0 with only 6 outs left to a win? What made Roberts think using Knack instead of Hudson the next day when there is no idea what the score or situation would be?" Still a bad move. Roberts or the analytical department has a hard time planning for a series, even in the regular season.
Exactly, "once again October has found Dave Roberts", what a great quote!
I agree with Plaschke. Foot on their necks. Gotta stay agressive. And if Dave wanted to go with a bullpen game, then commit to using your bullpen. Knack should have been pulled way before giving up the slam
Knack should have been brought in only after they had a lead.
@@amandazee3706 -even better. Agree 100%

Plashke is being over dramatic. Knack is in there because we have a whole team of pitchers hurt. Kelly, Graterol, Vesia also our starting pitching. If we had another starter, they could have been a long relief guy eating up innings. Like Urias was in 2020. Also, the hitting was missing again. We didn’t cash in the opportunities we had. Lefty side arm to a lefty batter is tough to hit off of. So kept Ohtani at bay.
Lastly, it’s hard to imagine that the dodgers were gonna shut down and keep everyone scoreless and sweep the Mets and whoever goes to the World Series. Felt good but in realistic. I support Roberts, it’s up to the players to perform. Go dodgers!
The dodgers gave this game away on purpose. Las Vegas had something to do with it. They could have gone with buhler, best bullpen pitcher, game over. They intentionally lost this game
A third-grade paper would be marked incorrect if "scuffle" were used to mean "struggle feebly" (unless the teacher herself unmindfully adopted sporswriting buzzwords born of ignorance).
If only the Times had such high standards.
The offense was dreadful though. They had a chance to win the game but failed multiple times.
Def knew it wasn’t gonna be a sweep, but I was hoping to win the first two, also questioning why Knack was pitching in the second? I love Landon but he should only pitch with a good lead… Not concerned, let’s go Dodgers, NL CHAMPS IN6️⃣💙❗️
Bad job on the Dodgers GIVING a game away. Andrew Friedman NEVER won the big dance with the TB Rays.
It was a bull pen game but not a legit bull pen game. The Dodgers have 3 starting pitchers left for a 7 game series what do you want them to do? I understand the gas pedal mentality but we needed our stud hitters today to step up and they didn't. The Dodgers also can't risk another injury to a starter or the bull pen. If one of those starting pitchers doesn't have it, or can't go 5 innings, expect the bull pen to come in much sooner. So I think this was rest day for the actual bull pen which is why we saw pitchers like Knack, Honeywell, and Henriquez. I mean think about it, the Dodgers didn't use any of their best pitchers and still could have almost won this game if the big bats didn't go quiet.
The Mets should have scored 12 runs in this game if Alvarez would have got one hit. The dodgers don't have enough pitching. Buy game 5 bullpen will be cooked.LGM
Man, what's up with Plaschke...he doesn't look healthy. I hope all is well.
The three stooges, what a clown!!! lol
😂😂😂😂
If we lose by 4 or more runs in NY we not gonna see our closers !!
Memo to the Dodgers. Starting pitching still matters.
Why’s is Othani batting first?????
??????????
Sweep??? Lmao you people are obviously delirious from all the smog out there. Sweep? GTFOH...
wow u guys predicted a sweep ? ck ck ck ......
Yall are dumping on Buehler way too early... He will come thru
What I want to know is who's pitching game 5 and 6 for the dodgers? I think the Dodgers are cooked.
Knack was just horrible. Idk what he was thinking mentally throwing hanging curves and fastballs down the middle every pitch.
Where is terrible lineup for pitching the bullpen I didn't even know half the pictures and they should have took knack out as soon as he loaded the bases Roberts did a terrible job with a bullpen we should have won that game he should have done the same thing he did against the Padres that was perfect what the hell's wrong with him
Yes, foot on their neck. It's not a good decision.
Where is Joe Kelly? He’s a postseason guy in my book.
Maybe actually follow the dodgers...he's injured, well known...
@frankyhonnolus5528 if you actually watched any dodgers baseball, you would know he hasn't pitched in months...
Casparius over knack. He's 10 times better. He's there secret weapon. I can't believe there not using him.
bullpen game was the dumbest idea. Walker had 5 days of rest. just start him and if he sucks then put in the scrubs. Friedman's obsession with bullpen games is so dumb.
stop trying to be cute and think like you're some genius playing 4d chess. just play the goddamn game. they thew away this game for no reason.
Bad coaching not taking home court advantage
Very much agree with all the takes that were voiced here. I fear this series is lasting 7 games; hope the Dodgers can pull it off before then.
TBD -> LVP
Pitch Ohtani
Bullpen games and scripting. How did baseball come to this?
Typical DODGER analysts. The other team doesn't get any credit because their team is too perfect.
What didn't Buehler start?
Why
Exactly!!! Dodger lost this game intentionally
Just one game Robert knows what he's doing don't freak out.
ブルペンデーって なかなか難しそう
BRASIER just couldnt get through one without giving up a RUN to break the record of consecutive SHUTOUT innings??? WHAT??? Especially when he was ahead of the COUNT, then he throws an 80mph right down the PIPE??? At least put up a PITCHER that has a less era then 5.0, just for one inning🙆
Then ROBERTS tries to experiment with a PROSPECT that only talent seems to be in making RASPBERRIES with his lips!!!🙄
Then
Not starting Buehler today was a mistake. Next game, start Yamamoto. Stop telling Shohei to play small ball (because every time they tell him to do that with Angels, it goes wrong). Let him go after every HR opportunity. Game 4 is Flaherty start again. Come Game 5, let's go with Buehler (a true redemption game). Game 6 is bullpen redemption game.
Buehler already listed to start 3. If it goes six we have Flaherty back, game 7 maybe Buehler on short rest. The bullpen hardly needs redemption. That was mostly our AAA pitchers.
Yamamoto for game 3 and Flaherty for game 4? So you just want to have them both pitch on short rest? Yeah. No thanks
Didn’t buehler blow the SD game?
@@bigcmlgnope, the infield did.
@@brycegreenstein7441 me not good counting.
The answer is Hudson was burned the night before? When up 9-0? So the question becomes, "Why did Roberts burn Hudson instead of Knack the night before when up 9-0 with only 6 outs left to a win? What made Roberts think using Knack instead of Hudson the next day when there is no idea what the score or situation would be?" Still a bad move. Roberts or the analytical department has a hard time planning for a series, even in the regular season.
