As we get back into the swing of things, and speaking of the swing of things,

didn't even need a swing and a miss.

As I was just talking about before the break,

Carlos Mendoza having to manage the rest of the way with this bullpen,

picking and choosing, mixing, and matching, and hoping for the best.

Ryan Stanit comes in and on his second pitch,

throws a wild pitch that ends up tying the game.

6-6 here.

New ball game in Camerica Park.

The Mets offense got to Charlie Morton, who was acquired at the deadline.

As we talk about the Mets not acquiring starting pitching.

Like, would you have wanted Charlie Morton? I wouldn't.

But Charlie Morton's out of the game.

The Tigers are on their second reliever out of the pen.

And so are the Mets.

So now it's a bullpen game the rest of the way, 12 runs being scored, six on each side.

And now it's AJ Hinch versus Carlos Mendoza in the first game of this series in Detroit,

just trying to figure out, hey, who can I go to in my bullpen to not give it up?

I'm saying I'd be done with Sean Mania today.

I don't need to see anything else.

It's September now.

We don't have a lot of time.
