There's a day off tomorrow, so Diaz going two innings isn't the worst thing.

If the Mets score a few in the eighth I'd give the ninth to someone else.

A pitcher with a good fastball on a cold night can give what players used to call "bees in the bat handles".

It's going to be hard to sit Jesse Winker after this.

I'm not so sure that I want to use Acoonie here. I kind of wanted his glove for the ninth.

Marte doesn't hit bombs any more, but he sure does hit.

There's a big lead so it probably doesn't matter, but why put in a pinch runner for a runner on 3rd and none out? You burn two players, and even a slow runner on 3rd with none out is likely to score.

Now I feel OK with Senga closing this one out. Well, maybe with 1-2 more runs

Acuna didn't score from third on a double play?

I'd sure like to get him the work.

I'd additionally sure like to not kill the mood by finding out that he still hasn't found his form.

Pitcher had time to look him back and start the play.

I'd like him to have danced long enough to slow the play down, but alas.

Well it's Diaz, again, but he has a big mother lead so I'll pretend I'm not terrified.

I hope Diaz doesn't have one of those 35-pitch innings.
