Mets 3, Reds 0: Replacement Mets Win One for Starters

This is the way the season ends. This is the way the season ends. Not with a bang but with a whimper.
Lose your way out of contention, and your final lineup will look something like the Mets' on Wednesday: Willie Harris batting third, Nick Evans, Mike Baxter and Jason Pridie all taking over for the veterans. Once the veteran gets a hit or two -- like David Wright in the fourth -- he gets an early seat. Sometimes that early seat comes in the first inning.
Jose Reyes, playing in a game that hopefully won't be his last as a Met, laid down a perfect bunt to begin the game. The ball rolled towards third, Edinson Volquez lugged his large frame in the balls' general direction, and Reyes was at first before he turned around. Then Terry Collins pulled him and the crowd's chants turned to boos. The Mets may have assured their first batting title in the first inning, but it didn't feel great.
Bring Justin Turner on to pinch run for Jose Reyes and Josh Satin on to pinch run for David Wright and suddenly the game has a Triple-A feel to it. In fact, only Willie Harris (number three hitter) was on the major league roster to begin this year. People working the game from the press box to the concessions stands were most likely rooting for the game to end as quickly as possible.
Mike Baxter helped. His first major league home run was a shot to deep right off Edinson Volquez, who was surprisingly decent, but wilder than his one walk would suggest. Josh Satin had a nice game as well, picking up a single and a run. Next year's injury replacements look pretty good then.
Miguel Batista also did what you want most out of your final-game, get-to-the-offseason starter: He pitched nine scoreless (and classy!) innings, (#) pounded the strike zone, and kept his team away from embarrassment. Why the team didn't have someone they wanted to see in this spot seems like a valid question, but maybe all the young arms had spent their bullets for the year. And Batista might be showcasing himself for one final contract. Anything is possible.
It was a decent game. Brisk (two hours and fifteen minutes), with good pitching. But it kind of felt like a getaway day. The booth was joking about having planes waiting, the teams managed three walks between them, the lineups were unrecognizable by the end of the game, and the crowd had devolved in to "Please Stay Jose" chants by the seventh inning.
That's how the season ends, with a sigh, not a bang.
Maybe next year will begin with a bang and never look back.
Intentionally sexy moment of the game: Bearded dude on kiss cam reaching back for unseen (male?) friend before the kiss cam abruptly moved on.
Awesome end of game moment: 300+ fans serenaded Jose Reyes after the game for twenty minutes. He finally came out for a curtain call and they went nuts.

Yeah, it was handled badly
Even if they collectively agreed to the safe(ish) play on the batting title, AT LEAST let him take the field next inning and then be pulled, so that the crowd could be up to speed and give him a proper ovation, rather than the shock boos being the response. Just badly done.
I think I just heard KB say that it was Jose's request.
I think it's fine.
by NetsMets4Life on Sep 28, 2011 4:06 PM EDT up reply actions
It was
Reye’s request. Terry was honoring that, in light of trying to gain their trust in him and confidence all year. Terry totally understands the fans reactions though.
That’s when Terry became emotional.

Very.
He broke down crying.
Said it was pride in this team. How he spent an inordinate of time talking to these guys on the field, in the clubhouse on the plane wanting them to know what’s expected, what they can expect from him, and working with him.
He said he just loves this team, these guys and he realizes not everyone will be back.
I think it was just one big exhale from Terry after doing everything he could to prove this first year Sandy made the right choice and this team gave all it had.

I guess he really had to prove he could keep a club house together
after the Angels debacle…..and the debacle over in Japan.
I think his greatest stregnth is his knowledge of the farm. He is more likely to give the Nick Evans of the world a shot because he is familar with them. He knows their stregnths and weaknesses already.

Ha, don't know on that
really Reyes had the last word, but I was right, the decision to take him out of the game revolved solely around the batting title, and not injury concerns. And regardless if Reyes requested coming out, it was Collins ultimate decision to remove him. It was actually a good opportunity for Collins to maybe teach Reyes a little lesson like, "you know Jose, that’s kind of a cheap way to try and win a batting title. Go play the game and earn it, at least take 2 or 3 at bats so you don’t look back on it and always know that you backed out of your last few abs.

So, say it's your son BDMF
and he’s about to win a little league batting title or something like that. Do you take him out of the game after he gets a hit in his first at bat? Ralph Kiner even said they were playing chicken. He’s 90 years old, and can barely speak, but he still knows more about this game than anyone who posts on here.
First, I'd smack my son around for only winning the batting title, and not the triple crown
Then, I’d take him out if he wanted to come out, and we’d celebrate after the game was over and the deal was sealed.

What does Ralph being 90 and barely being able to speak have anything to do with Reyes?
If Reyes wanted to come out, Terry should take him out. This is quite frankly a ridiculous, over the top argument about nothing.

Lennon on now. He said it was puzzling at first b/c it was abrupt, took them all by surprise. But after he learned later it was Reyes’ decision he said he understood and he didn’t think it was a bad decision at all.
Oh, and he said he’s got a ‘hunch’ Reyes will be back. Think they have a good shot of retaining him.
by MetsFan4Decades on Sep 28, 2011 5:50 PM EDT up reply actions
Exactly. That's how I felt
When he came out, I was all angry because I didn’t know what was going on. As the game progressed, and it made sense, my anger went away- I do think it could have been handled better, though, by taking him out after he went on the field, to get a proper ovation.

Goes w/o saying though if Reyes didn’t get that bunt down, he would have stayed in.

And Reyes did the wrong thing and Terry let him do the wrong thing
so they both failed today.
Did Mike Sciocia do the wrong thing by scratching Jered Weaver,
not allowing him to get 200 strikeouts for the second consecutive year? Or, how about Ron Washington who spit in the faces of all those Rangers fans who paid good money to see C.J. Wilson pitch, and then let him go only two innings? How about all those football teams who act bush by kneeling when they have possession and the ball at the end of the game, instead of actually playing?

Pat Misch pitched a complete game shut out late in the '09 season
so there’s something to shitty pitchers pitching well at the end of a non contending season.
And Nelson Figuroa to end the season

On the Jose coming out debate:
Terry said it was Jose’s idea. Said he was going to try and bunt for a single in the first then he wanted to come out.
Terry didn’t know what he was going to do if he didn’t get a hit.
And now Terry is crying.
Saying: ‘I heard grumbling in the stands and I don’t blame the fans. I expect a lot from the players and we wanted to play for the fans’.
He’s very emotional.

I'm fine with pulling Reyes
Though wouldn’t it have been better if Terry had let him take the field in the next inning and then pulled him with two outs? It wouldn’t have been quite as sudden, and Jose could have gotten a standing O on the way to the dugout.
Yes.
But he might have been hurt running the bases. Assume sarcasm font there.
Wright came out because he was stiff
Terry said day game after night game, they didn’t do their normal pre game routine and David was a little stiff.
He totally understands the fans came to see Jose, for Wright, for some others.

Unfortunately for Dubs
I don’t think there was any outrage about him getting pulled. It was almost exclusively about Jose leaving in the 1st inning.

I suggest you read Rob Neyer's piece on Ted Williams.
The circumstances, as they were, seem to (unsurprisingly) be a bit romanticized. Ted was actually sitting at .39955, which may have precluded him in some circles at the time from being considered a member of the .400 club.
He basically had to play that last day to try to break over the .400 barrier.

I agree with CJ on this one
Its sort of weak. When I heard what happened, I was hoping that the organization wanted to do Jose a solid and sit him.
But to hear that Jose asked to back his way into a batting title is weak.
Joe Cronin was to sit Ted Williams before a season finale double dip. Ted was just barely sitting on .400. Ted refused, and walked away with five or six hits on the day.
Jose is going to have to answer for this in the media, and I am kind of happy about. Love him, but he made a decision, and he is going to have to answer for it.

He already was questioned at length by the media
He didn’t back down.
To tell the truth though, I don’t think he got the fact the media was referring to ‘fans’ when they told him there were some who didn’t agree with his decision. I think he believed they were referring to others around baseball.
But you know – he was honest in that interview. He was all Jose. Right, wrong or indifferent, it’s refreshing to hear someone say what they mean and mean what they say – once in a while.

Perhaps my experience in playing sports has ingrained this hyper macho ideal that doesn’t jive with this type of shrewed tactict. No me gusta. I still love Jose, but his handling of this goes against the reasons why I value sports. It was not very much in the spirit of competition.

LOL at the people saying Jose did not earn it...
or that it was “weak”.
He earned the chance to make that decision when he played awesome the first half of the year. He earned that decision after coming off the DL for the 2nd time and hitting well over the last month.
Sure lets disregard the entire season for one decision. Lets hyperbolize in the typical NY MSM fashion. Lets denigrate a player who may not be here next year.
If Braun wins, I’m going to say he did not earn it, because if Reyes was healthy all year it would not be close.

Is anyone else just sort of annoyed by this?
And not that TC took Jose out of the game; quite frankly, I have no problem with the move and I’m stoked to watch him win the batting title tonight (for whatever that’s worth). I’m just so damn SICK of every time something good happens to the Mets, controversy has to follow. The media always has to perceive some small, insignificant problem that the dumbass section of our fanbase then blows into the stratosphere. I don’t understand why we can’t just enjoy Jose’s batting title and his tenure as a Met without it being stained by someone’s idiotic perception of events. Forget about it, the man hit .337 this year, had one of the best seasons in Mets history, and was one of the top ten players in baseball this year. ENJOY it; it’s not like we have much else.

also because we were the big, bad mets at the time and the phillies were underdogs
just fucking win win win and win more and it all fucking goes away

yeah, it's certainly always been part of the story with Reyes
or should I say “Re-sign Joe Kings” would’ve been a very different media frenzy.
What about when dictorino stood on home plate and pointed into the Mets dugout?
If a Met had done that? I would love for the Mets to adopt the ‘86 attitude of this is who we are and if you don’t like it tough shit.
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
This, this, this 1000 times this
I was kind of embarrassed about it at first but with all the negative nancy’s out there I say, “fuck it” I hope Jose wins and I don’t care how it happened. Then someone mentioned Williams in ‘98 but I guess that was okay because he was a yankee. I’m just so tired of all of it.
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
This could be a dumb question but

He directly said it on the post game show.

Nobody could ever come up as small as Glavin did, but that was pretty bad.

They’d be much happier seeing a wounded Boston club limping into the post season than a nerve racking Tampa Bay squad that has had their number on many occasions this season.

Except maybe
as bad as the Red Sox are playing, they’d actually rather face them in the post season, then the Rays – if it came down to that.
Wasn’t like the Yankees started anyone decent. Rays had a good chance. They didn’t take advantage of it.

Let's see
No way Rays are winning this game. 7-0 in the 5th.
Boston up 3-2 in the 5th.
Braves up 3-1 in the 7th.
Cards up 6-0 in the 3rd.
Way it’s looking right now, Boston gets in and possibly Braves/Cards do a game 163.

Jose coming out in what could be (and in my humble opinion, was) his last game ever as a Met
is just sad, regardless of what his reason is. If it was just the batting title, that baffles me even more; Jose is the last guy I’d think on the Mets that would take himself out of a game to protect his stats…He’s a bright guy who is very conscious of his ego/image, and I find it hard to believe that him of all people would want to back into the title like that. I don’t really care about him being “the first Met to ever win one”, because frankly, that doesn’t really mean much. If you’ll allow the idle speculation, I think his agent got it into his head that he’ll be worth “x” amount of dollars more if he can put “NL Batting Champion” on his resume before this offseason. If that’s the case, I don’t blame Jose, but I still hate the decision.
And of course, batting title or not batting title, it could very well be his last chance to play in front of Mets fans as one of our guys. Leaving in the first inning shocked the hell out of everybody. I’m not surprised Gary/Keith and co took issue with it.
That said, congrats on the batting title Jose
"I only wanted a few things out of life -- a wife, children, to play baseball and to hunt deer." - Turk Wendell
Jose said
many in the game told him to sit out the game all together.
He said he didn’t want to do that.

It would be really annoying to turn even this into a traditional vs. progressive issue
But it seems like that’s where the line is coming down in this debate. The “old-school, play every game to the end” mentality vs. “he had 585 PAs, he earned it”. Is everything going to be divided by this? Or are we just Mets fans defending our favorite player?
"F***ing shocker." -Billy Wagner
The latter
but more so Mets once again being roasted by the media.
It’s become fashionable to ‘pick’ on the Mets.
You know, Walter Reed Gate, Cap Gate, and every other Gate. Now we can add Reyes Gate to the list.
We really have to start winning soon so we can stop reading about all this other crap on a daily basis.
by MetsFan4Decades on Sep 28, 2011 9:09 PM EDT up reply actions
I had completely forgotten about Walter Reed
If we started winning, would this all go away? I even remember back in 2006 how Fatcessa talked non-stop about how other National League teams hated us (which, quite frankly, I enjoyed). And then of course #blamebeltran happens and it’s all negative from there. Can we just win a freaking division title in the next five years or so? Please? Something to shut everyone up for a season or two.
"F***ing shocker." -Billy Wagner
win consistently, not just one year
then people will just hate us for winning. and that would be awesome
Walter Reed was really a self-inflicted wound
Amazing to think that the Wilpons deliberately created a PR fiasco around their own team just to childishly flip off a couple players.
But the media-created insanity is gonna happen regardless. It’s inevitable when you play in the country’s largest media market. Winning won’t stop it at all, it’ll just make it much less annoying.
And I love (hate) how it was Beltran who got the most heat for that.
IIRC, he was building a school.

by NetsMets4Life on Sep 28, 2011 9:58 PM EDT up reply actions
Sir yes sir
What’s even more interesting is that Jeter was batting .305 on September 19 (Game 154) and went 0 for 8 in the following two games he played (Games 155 and 156) to bring him down to .301. He only played two more times after Game 156; Game 157 (defensive replacement in the 9th inning and no at bats) and 160 (2 at bats and replaced by Cody Ransom in the 4th inning). So he didn’t play 158 and 159. Games 161 and 162 was a doubleheader on the final Sunday of the season (Ahh! repressed memories coming back!) and didn’t play in either of them. Common sense would dictate that he was battling some form of injury hence he didn’t play. You’re not holding out someone for 5ish games to preserve anything substantial. So, I get why they would say it’s a different situation, but still no stone throwing when you reside in a glass house.

Also question for the masses
Why do we hate the Red Sox? They hate the Yankees just as much as we do and they may be Evil Empire II, but at least they attempt to go about things the right way and they have a likable group of players (i.e. Gonzalez, Ellsbury, Lester)
"F***ing shocker." -Billy Wagner
we don't hate them too much
their fans have become as annoyingly entitled as Yankees fans, but the real reason is we want someone to collapse as badly or worse than we did in 07

1) The Yankees are currently looking like shit in this game. This is good.
2) The Rays are winning. This good.

Yeah, it has to be the fans
Boston fans have experienced way too much winning (what is it, nine titles in the last decade?). I personally have always rooted for the Red Sox and the Angels because they seem to be the two clubs with the Skanks’ number. But I love Tampa’s young team too, so whoever can beat the Skanks.
Come to think of it, I’d be fine with all four other AL teams…Texas is certainly inoffensive at worst, and you’ve gotta love Dickey’s spiritual cousin Doug Fister.

Does MLB still want that extra Wild Card?
This night of awesome would be a complete yawner if that system were in place.
meh
some years, having an extra wild card would be better, some years it would be worse. The same could be said for having two divisions or no divisions. Can’t really justify or not justify it based on one season.
And for the record, I’m not a fan of the idea.
2009 Did Not Happen
I know
That’s actually kind of my point, since a month ago all the talk was about how we needed the extra WC in order to make September interesting. A month later, that argument seems a bit sillier. In the end, make do with what we have because it’s still the best system among the big four sports.
yea
personally, I say go back to the pre-expansion way. 162 games is long enough to determine the best team in each league. As much as it makes me want to puke, the Yankees and the Phillies should be playing each other in the World Series this year.
Hopefully Bud Selig’s devious designs keep them both out.
