Amazin' Clubhouse

From Barstool Sports' Frank the Tank to WFAN radio host Sal Licata to Mets fans all over the globe, Pete Alonso was getting harpooned for his less than stellar performance through two games of the Wild Card round.

Alonso had just one broken bat hit and three walks, with no homers or extra base hits, that was until the ninth inning of Thursday night's Game 3.

With Francisco Lindor drawing a leadoff walk and Brandon Nimmo reaching base on a single two batters later, the stage was set for Alonso to deliver a memorable moment.

And Boy, he didn't disappoint.

Alonso went opposite field over the right field wall off closer Devin Williams to give the Mets a 3-2 advantage courtesy of a three run bomb.

Jessie Winker scored an insurance run on a Starling Marte base knock to give the Mets a two-run cushion.

Starter David Peterson worked around a leadoff hit to slam the door in the bottom of the ninth with Lindor making a double play put out to end the game.

The Mets will travel to Philly on Saturday to take on the Phillies in Game 1 of the NLDS.

The New York Mets were so close to an NLDS berth, they could taste it.

Unfortunately, everything unraveled in the bottom of the 8th inning, with Phil Maton, a normally reliable reliever, giving up a leadoff homer to Jackson Churio and two-run blast to Garrett Mitchell to give Milwaukee a two-run lead.

Carlos Mendoza removed Sean Manaea after just five innings and 87 pitches. Clearly, leaving Maton in too long and removing Manaea too early cost the Mets dearly.

New York now faces an elimination scenario, with Jose Quintana on the mound facing Tobias Myers.

Join Rick Laughand as he shares his thoughts on a trumphant Game 1 win of the Wild Card Round against the Brewers and why the Mets need to close it out in Game 2.

Luis Severino didn't have his best stuff, but it was good enough on Tuesday night as the Mets bats knocked around Milwaukee's pitching for eight runs.

Severino pitched six innings of four-run ball, while the Mets knocked out Freddy Peralta after four innings and three runs allowed.

Mark Vientos, J. D. Martinez, and Jesse Winker knocked in two RBIs apiece, while Jose Iglesias and Starling Marte drove in one run each.

The Mets trailed 2-0 heading to the top of the second inning before scoring three runs to grab the lead.

After falling behind 4-3 headed to the top of the 5th inning, the Mets strung together a slew of two-out RBI hits to score five runs in the frame and grab an 8-4 advantage.

Severino, and the Mets bullpen retired the final 17 Brewers batters to hold on for the win.

The Mets will send Sean Manaea to the mound on Wednesday night looking for the Wild Card series victory and set up a date in Philadelphia on Saturday night against the Phillies for the NLDS Game 1.

The New York Mets are heading to the postseason after a stirring classic against the Atlanta Braves on Monday afternoon. The Mets stormed back twice to stun the Braves 8-7 and advance to the Wild Card round of the National League Playoffs where they will face the Milwaukee Brewers. Full reaction and thoughts on the victory, and why this Mets team will go down as one of the best.
