They are still playing for seeding I think, but they probably won’t go all out… [Reply]
Mets either should straight up forfeit this game (if allowed by the rules) or intentionally walk the Braves like 15 times in a row so they can bring a hitter in to pitch. There's not one reason they should be using any pitching on this next game. [Reply]

There's also the division rival hatred factor to take into account. The Braves have really stepped on their cranks the past few seasons and are only a couple of years past a WS win.
I don't expect the Mets to roll over and die here. Staking the Braves at home would probably equate to a pennant win for them. [Reply]
