3 best Mets magical playoff moments from 2024 ranked

The 2024 New York Mets playoff run was nothing short of spectacular. What was said to be a "punt year" or a year to "see what you have" turned into memories that fans will take with them forever. From 0-5 to OMG, they made it all the way to game 6 in the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Who knows the Mets could have still been in the mix today if they won game 6 and forced a game 7 in L.A.? However, that is not the way the season played out and now having time to digest it all for a little over a week we can finally look back at the amazing moments that took place.

Don't be sad that it is over, rather be happy that it happened.

3. Edwin Diaz gets out of the jam and sends the Mets to the NLCS

After walking both J.T. Realmuto and Bryson Stott to give the Phillies a chance in the top of the 9th inning, Edwin Diaz had to settle in if he wanted to send the Mets to the NLCS for the first time since 2015. Diaz bounced back quickly striking out Cody Clemens on just five pitches.

He then got Brandon Marsh to pop up for the second out while Realmuto moved to third making the Mets just one out away from euphoria yet again. Kyle Schwarber stepped up to the plate as the final chance for the Phillies and struck out swinging, sending Citi Field into a frenzy.

This win was so important for not only Diaz but the Mets as well because they did not want to play a game 5 in Philadelphia. Diaz came through for the team in a big spot, despite his struggles here and there throughout the year.

Also, let's not forget that he had a rough outing in game 2 against the Phillies. He allowed 3 runs on 3 hits and played a factor in the loss that ended up tying this series at a game a piece. Diaz's massive turnaround boosted his confidence on the mound while also giving the Mets momentum moving forward.
