I say this in April I say this in May I say this sometimes in June I definitely say it in July

Occasionally in August and you damn well. I'm gonna say it today. There are certain baseball games in a long-ass season 162 games that are just bigger than others for whatever reason and this afternoon the New York mats are playing the rubber game of a three game series against the Toronto Blue Jays and it's damn important.

It's damn important because they are coming off a rare bed start from David Peterson. He was not good yesterday. They're coming off a rare bad start from David Peterson he was not good yesterday

they're coming off a rare bad defensive performance mark vientos made a big error

that led to an inning that turned into a part of the met demise and the met offense has been flat. The met offense has done

very very little as this winning streak was bound to end and even at the tail end of the

winning streak in those games against Cincinnati,

the med offense has stopped hitting. They are tied with the Atlanta Braves.

They are two games behind Arizona and San Diego in the loss column.

So they're right there, but they got a lot of winning they need to do.

They have not lost the series since they now infamous Huck 2 a game.

It's the last time they've lost the series. They've won every

series and split one since then. So against a crappy BlueJ team, the Mets need to

find a way to win and I'm going to tell you exactly how they need to do it now at the end of the day

they won nothing they win 13 12 it doesn't matter or wins a win I get that

but they need to start hitting and I'll tell you who needs to start hitting

Francisco Lindor has had a great year I could give a rat's ass about him winning the

MVP that's all fun and games it's about making the playoffs but Francisco the thank you. Now that doesn't mean you go over the rest of the season but it means it's

time for others like Peter Alonzo like Brandon Nimo like J. D. Martinez like

Pete Alonzo like Francisco Alvarez like Pete Alonzo, like Francisco Alvarez, like Pete Alonzo, to wake up.

Because the identity of this met team, as well as their starting pitching has been,

it's pitched great for the last month plus, as great as their bullpen has been for the most part.
