SNY says Jeff has a sprained wrist and will test it pre-game to se if he can play today. (As a substitute)

Not enough disrespect to keep the Phils from tying it.

Three straight hits to start the inning is encouraging.

Nimmo stopping at third isn't so much. Not with their recent record of plating baserunners.

But LGM!

A non-double play and Tommy Pham shooting one through the drawn-in infield, and the Mets take a two-run lead with a Phillies assist.

No it doesn't, but as Max gets a double play to end the sixth, it's all bullpen from this point forward.

They did Escobar a favor. He will start everyday on a team 8 or 9 over 500

Isn't it an inning earlier than you would like to use Ottavino

Yes he does. They could use a third guy here to supplement Otto and Robertson

They have one. Or they had one. His name is Smitty and he's due back from suspension on Monday

Damn, Guillorme likes to do exotic flips on his double-plays.

Great work.
