Francisco Alvarez ‘won’t stop’ during Mets’ magical ride
NY Post
The Mets have played 20 games since Sept. 16, and Francisco Alvarez has started 17 of them.
Luis Torrens last started a game Sept. 30 — the meaningless back end of the doubleheader in Atlanta — and has not gotten the nod on a day the Mets had just a single game since Sept. 28.
It has been two weeks since Alvarez was out of the lineup during a game that mattered — and even that day, he pinch hit in the eighth inning and caught in the ninth.
The Mets’ three days of rest between the NLDS and NLCS will be helpful for their pitching staff and helpful for players like Alvarez, but he was not asking for this respite.
“The baseball doesn’t stop, so I won’t stop,” Alvarez said before the Mets eliminated the Phillies at Citi Field on Wednesday, when he started the club’s seventh playoff game in nine days.
