This 12-game stretch for the Mets gets off to a very, very good start last night.

It was a Lindor night.

His wife plays the violin with the National Anthem.

Francisco Lindor is wearing Roberto Clemente's number.

He hits a home run.

Mullins hits a home run.

Baini hits a home run.

Alonzo hits a home run and the combination of Clay Holmes and Sean Mania actually get the job done.

The Yankees hang on after having a 10-1 lead, but now the first round matchup as it sits today.

You know we always love if the season ended today.

The Yankees would be playing the Astros in the first round, and theets would be playing the Dodgers and right now the way these two seasons have gone, you sign for that no matter what. I don't care the opponent is. Get them both in there. Let's get this thing going. Good morning, Boomer. How are you? Yeah, good morning, Jim, doing all right. And the thing about the Yankees said that's amazing to me is that you wake up and there was

the time, I think it was like six or seven days ago, they were right there with the Toronto

Blue Jays.

There were two games behind.

And you look up, but right now they're five games behind and that's why they would end up

playing the Houston Astros if, in fact, the season did end today.

It's amazing how fast that just happened to them.

And last night, man, they were holding on, man. They had a 10-1 lead, and I flipped over. I'm like, I'm not going to watch this. This is done. Next day, and I get an alert. Bang, bang, bang. And all of a sudden, the Yankees are hanging on by a thread. and then of course you know you just went over what the Mets did yesterday. And they did do their pitching situation with Clay Holmes and Shaw Mania. And both players seem to be very happy with the outcome of the game and the way that it went. But again, you know, that's not really what you want from your starting pitching. You want your starting pitchers to go six to seven innings, not to have to split the game four and five innings. Yeah, you don't want it, but if it works, that's great because these guys, of course, we've gone over it for weeks, for months, have been so disappointing. There hasn't been a positive pitching story since, you know, other than the two young guys in Sprote and McLean.

So if you're going to combine those two guys and that works and that's something that can get you through a game without having to use the rest of your bullpen, then awesome.

Whatever it takes.

I thought that that was great.

Mendoza was asked about it after the game. Do you do this again?
