The Mets are now on the brink of an early playoff exit after Friday's game one blowout loss, but the team agrees that it's time to show what they're made of with a 101-win season now in danger of coming to an abrupt end.
"We've been really good, and now we get to see what we're made of," Pete Alonso said. "I'm excited for tomorrow…this is fun. Yeah, it's not great losing, it's never fun losing, but this is fun baseball. I'm really excited to go tomorrow."
The positive vibes from August seem long gone, as a blown 10.5 game lead in the division has led directly into a blowout loss at home to start the postseason, and if New York doesn't turn it around immediately, the once resurgent season will come to a crashing end.
"There's no time now to put our heads down and think about what happened," Tomas Nido said, "We just got to turn the page and come back tomorrow and give it all we got."
