It isn’t good for the Mets that one of their key hitters has been hampered at such a pivotal time in October, or that the three off days between the NLDS and NLCS provided only scant relief.
New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo intends to keep playing in the National League Championship Series, despite dealing with painful plantar fasciitis, he told The Athletic.
He said that he plans to continue playing, despite the pain, because it's the playoffs.
The New York's last NLCS appearance came back in 2015, so this is the first time that Nimmo (or anybody else on the roster for that matter) has been to the NLCS as a member of the Mets.
It came as a surprise on Sunday when New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo appeared to say something to Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto following his home run in the seventh inning in Game 2 of the NLDS.
One of the longest-standing rivalries in baseball finally gets put on a grand stage in October. The New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies will meet in the postseason for the first time with a spot in the NLCS on the line.
The Mets offense did nothing for eight innings on Thursday night, and it looked like it was going to be the end of their season in Game 3 of their National League wild-card game against the Brewers.

The New York Mets had a great weekend both on the diamond and in the stands. The team drew a record 87,291 fans to Citi Field over the weekend between Saturday & Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Brandon Nimmo homered leading off the sixth inning, and the surging New York Mets once again prevented the visiting Philadelphia Phillies from clinching the National League East title with a 2-1 win Sunday night in the finale of a four-game series.
With the playoffs right around the corner, the New York Mets could not have picked a better time to step up their play. Having gone 36-22 since the All-Star break, the Mets have overtaken the Atlanta Braves for the third and final wild card spot in the NL with only nine games remaining in the season.
The Mets are set to begin a crucial series against the division-rival Phillies as they look to maintain control of the final NL playoff spot, and Nimmo had a message for fans ahead of the clash.
The top half of the New York Mets' starting lineup during yesterday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays looked much different than it has in a long time.
You have to see this play to believe it.
A very New York Mets thing has happened to the New York Mets.
Brandon Nimmo came through in the clutch for the New York Mets on Sunday, reaching a major career milestone in the process. Nimmo came up to bat with the Mets trailing the Houston Astros 4-2 with two outs in the bottom of the seventh.
