Welcome back to the show, everybody.

So the Yankees have a great weekend, and the Mets took one out of the three games against the Astros.

And the thing that shows up with the Mets is that they didn't hit very much, but Juan Soto did.

Juan Soto, I know he struck out when they lost that first game, but he had a very good series.

He was on base all the time.

Now, he's going to see the difference how life is when you don't have judge

hitting behind you. That's a pretty big advantage. So I know Met fans are going to start

freaking out because Francisco Lendor is hitless in 11 at bats this year, and he has historically

been bad leading off. Before we even get into it, Francisco and his wife, Katia, congratulations on the birth

of their son, Coa.

So their third child, two baby girls and now a little Coa, so congratulations to Francisco.

But, I mean, can we give the guy, I don't know, a week and a half, two weeks before we start to panic?

Petalanzo didn't hit well?

Petalanzo's going to have to hit for them.

Otherwise, Soto's going to have a record for the amount of times it's going to be walked.

You saw with what the Yankees did this weekend, you know, they started to walk judge when

they realized that we can't get the guy out.

And Chisholm batting behind him made him pay him.

No one is ever going to say, oh, I'd rather pitch the judge than Jash Chisholm.
