I bet if you hit the hotel bar, Severino will be there watching the game.

Happy hour starts in 25 minutes. I'll let you know. We do stay in a pretty nice joint when we're in town but I think we're closer to the airport than the ballpark.

Mets can breeze away into a plane after this most likely

McNeil is picking up the slack for those are slumping

Taylor is a good Met

We'd get you a hotel hooker, but we spent the last of our dough
on getting one for SJRogers in Miami so you're on your own.

Apparently, Manaea had to let one more guy get in scoring position before he finished the seventh.

Should be Stanek and Diaz to close things out.

I guess it didn't occur to me that Goldschmidt could look worse than he did the last time we faced the Cards.

Since Diaz's ERA reached its high of 5.40 on May 18, his ERA has been 1.38.

Outside of a rough three-game stretch from May 13 to May 18, Diaz has actually been pretty solid.

Before that stretch: 15 G, 2.30 ERA
During that stretch: 3 G, 27.00 ERA
After that stretch: 14 G, 1.38 ERA

Excluding today, Manaea has a 2.28 ERA in 9 starts since June 14.

Also, great game.

Back to me thinking they might actually be a playoff-quality club.

The offense has always, on paper, been postseason quality. But the pitching, oh that pitching...

They might be one of the best teams in baseball. Maybe April was an outlier and not representative of who the Mets are. Lindor went through perhaps the worst stretch of his career. They didn't have Martinez yet, who's not just a body. He's a big contributor and bats in the middle of the lineup. And in April, they were playing the execrable Baty, who's since been swapped out for Vientos, who developed into the Mets best hitter and is playing like an MVP vote-getter.

Yeah I came home thinking I would catch the end of this one and the Mets were like "nope!" - that is how you get the heck out of town on a 1 game road trip stop
