A couple minutes after 3 o'clock evidentiki on the fan will get you set for the second game in this subway series.

Once the lineups come out, we'll all react to Yankee fans freaking out over Aaron Boone's lineup.

We'll also mix in some football including how close we're getting to an 18 game season.

But last night, a moment that turned out to be shocking a moment that could have been very

very controversial was when the New York Mets decided for the first time all

night long to face Aaron Judge when the first inning came around and there were

two outs and nobody on, he was walked on five pitches. When he came up with a

third inning with one out of nobody on, he was walked on five pitches. When he came up with two outs and nobody

on the 5th he was walked on four pitches and when he came up with a runner on second and

one out in the seventh inning he was given the intentional walk. When he came up in the ninth with a runner-on first and one out,

the Mets decided to go after him.

And this was a big discussion amongst Met fans and Yankee fans,

what do you do?

So Carlos Mendoza was asked after the game by

Steve Galbs you didn't face him the first four times what made you face him this time?

Two innings earlier, you intentionally walked Judge to put the winning run to go ahead run on base.

You decided to let Deakman go after him in the ninth.

Why did you make that decision differently in the ninth inning?

Yeah, I don't know.

No.

It's funny, but only funny because it worked. Yes. It's funny because it worked and it's funny because I think there's a craving that Met fans and Yankee fans have for a manager to simply say I made a decision because

my gut told me.
