Would Sale have been on short rest?

They said on the Mets broadcast that it was an injury, but I have a feeling he'll be cured for the next series if they make it.

Gutsy move not to start him in game two with the season on the line, if he was healthy.

Mets broadcasters were saying they don't think Sale is healthy. Apparently his velocity was down in his most recent start. Given his predilection for injuries, it wouldn't be surprising.

What game that first one was though. Lindor played his heart out.

Whatever happens with the Brewers, who have owned the Mets in recent memory, its a big achievement to come back and make the playoffs after being 22-33 on May 29th.

Mets have been the best team in baseball since the start of June, and have been very fun to watch. I hope it continues.

I'm a Mets fan too but no way Lindor should win it over Ohtani...

Ohtani is the best player in baseball. Hands down. No argument from me. But without Ohtani, the Dodgers are still a playoff caliber team. Without Lindor, the Mets are somewhere between the Marlins and the Rockies.

Yeah Sale and Trout. It looked as though Sale had broken the jinx though. Maybe just a sore arm or something.

Sale hasn't pitched in over 10 days. Yesterday, there were reports that he would only pitch today if game 2 was an elimination game for the Braves. It was, but he didn't pitch so it's unclear what's going on. I guess we'll see who starts the next few games for the Braves. I think both Fried and Lopez are available so they can potentially give Sale more time if it is an injury.

If he and Trout ever were at a kid's birthday party together, they would both get career ending injuries. Talent wise he's not that far from Verlander, Scherzer, even Kershaw, but man he has not managed to stay healthy including freak injuries.

I just saw a report that Sale didn't pitch today because of back spasms and is unlikely to pitch against the Padres.

Deja vu all over again. The guy cannot catch a break the last five years.

The Detroit Tigers have had a similar come-from-behind story in the American League. It would really be something if the two met in the World Series.
