We are joined by the manager in full uniform the manager of the New York Mets Carlos Mendoza can we call you mendi mendy

You have of course ready to go full-uny

He's ready with you guys let's go nice how's it going man it's going all right It's going all right now you know

know how's it going man it's going all right it's going all right and you know

excited for these two game set here against the Yankees obviously guys

started playing better a lot of up and down you know I've been through a lot but here we are ready to go

so what's going on with that one let's get that out of the way first is he going to

appeal this or does a suspension begin right now it begins right now so he's not

going to appeal so yeah we'll feel it obviously. We'll play a man short here for the next 10 games

We'll get through it you know

So yeah why the decision not to appeal yeah, we don't want this to linger you know for all for a long time

We gonna we got to get past this you know The more we wait obviously that cloud is gonna be on top of us and I we don't want that so we just decided you know

talking to him his agent his people obviously just we thought it was best for him to just

start. Was he guilty is that way? No I mean we're not going to get into the

whether it was guilty or not. Obviously he's suspended you know

You hate to see it, but here we are and we just got to get through it. So when this all went down as a Met fan most of us were sitting at home all of a sudden the

ESP and broadcast comes back we see this. I was very pissed off. I think I'm still

inconsistent so I'm angry you didn't seem angry why were you not angry about this?

I was angry you know the whole situation you hate to see you you know, as a whole situation. You hate to see you, you know, you're closer and,

you know, in a situation like that. But, you know, they had the reason, obviously, you know,
