Reds, New York Mets and MLB
Digest more
After the Mets fell to the Marlins on Sunday, the Reds have now clinched a playoff berth as the National League's third Wild Card team.
The Cincinnati Reds lost their regular-season finale 4-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday but still reached the playoffs because the New York Mets fell to the Miami Marlins.
The Mets missed the postseason a year after reaching the National League Championship Series and after holding the best record in the majors on June 12 — a stunning collapse for the star-studded club with a major league-high $322.6 million payroll on opening day.
Cincinnati will earn the National League’s third and final wild card if the Reds beat the Brewers or the Mets lose at Miami on Sunday. A New York victory and Cincinnati loss would send the Mets to the playoffs instead.
Carlos Mendoza should fired. 0-70 when trailing after 8 is inexcusable. You win just of those games and you’re in. Dude is bad manager. Zero situational awareness and terrible bullpen management and can’t motivate his players. He should be gone immediately.
