We get David Peterson vs Christopher Sanchez

I watched Sanchez' last outing against Toronto and he was lights out

Probably not gonna get 10 runs tonight but enough to go two up on Philthy

His last outing was against us, and he shut us down. This is a rematch of Sunday. Hopefully getting another look at him in a week will make him easier to hit, but I guess the same can be said of Peterson.

No Lindor again.

And no Alvarez. This reminds me of a thread we had a while back about Mendoza in which I said he sits players who have been hot. Francisco seems to have found his power stroke. This is a key series. Why not go with a hot hand?
'Tis a puzzlement.

Catchers don't play every day, and the Mets have two good ones.

	Cristopher Sánchez (L)	sp		David Peterson (L)	sp

The bottom line is no other NL contenders have the starting pitching depth and quality that the Mets do, and AL also as I think of it

The Mets are going to win the 2024 World Series and in the spirit of 1969 maybe even the Jets

Apple TV with the Mets radio , I love that feature on Apple

Christopher Sanchez, meet José Iglesias.

It got a "Great Googily Moogily!!" out of Gary.

You rarely see a wild pitch so wild that the catcher fails to catch it twice.

No Apple here

Mets 1-0 though

Gary is in the Apple booth?

That was Howie with a classic Howieism.

2-0

Marte and Nimmo also contributing

I hope JD can do something tonight. The Mets really do need him

I meant Howie.

Sorry. I had a chihuahua climbing into my lap.

Cute

I believe tonight might be a shootout

Enjoying Howie

I'll take 'Lines from one of Diddy's Sex Parties' for $600, Ken.

Peterson pounding the zone is sweet.

(Damn, now everything I type reads like a line from one of Diddy's sex parties.)

Man, Phillie has come-from-behind bats.

So you won't type that the Phillies don't go down easily - they just keep coming?

Sheesh, lotta Phillie hits thus far.

Go Marlins

Very early hook here.

Yes, this one is toast

Well, I guess it's the Mets turn to pour some comeback juice.
