As they have themselves a nice little wild come back hold on for dear life night in Washington

But let me say this young man tiki barber I'm old but go ahead

I think you saw above anything else last night when it comes to the trade deadline

now's the time to strike with trading JD Martinez. Oh yes Martinez. Are you kidding?

Oh, yes.

All wrong with you.

There is not a Met fan alive that would co-sign that.

I know, and that's why I'm here to talk some sense and be, dare I say an IBO, an independent baseball

observer and independent med observer.

Look, last I was a really fun win and there's obviously positives to take out of it namely Francisco Alvarez who gets

his batting average up to 306 and hello anybody out there has watched the Mets

all year when did the Mets think the most when Francisco

Alvarez was lost after that Dodger series and since he has come back and he has figured

it out, he of course gets the big hit, puts the Mets in front after it looked like early down to nothing

David Peterson not finding his stuff it wasn't going to be that kind of night but he's

hitting down in that seven hole the Mets have clicked as a lineup Viento's up there he

continues to get big hits.

And I look at this Met team, and I'm just trying to see the honest forest through the trees,

and that is this.

Why did the Mets almost lose that game last night?

Because their bullpen continues to be an unmitigated disaster?

Well, yeah, well, I think it's Carlos Mendoza trying to save innings, save arms, and so you go to guys like Tyler Jay.
