Number one, when Carson Benz drives in a run, they are now 11 and 0, as he got the game winning hit last night.

He's the guy. If he doesn't do it, that's a loser.

That's it. Those are the facts.

But the Mets have won 17 games this season, not exactly a huge number.

No.

In four of those wins, so four out of 17 wins, that's a little bit less than 25% of the time.

The New York Mets win a game and we have to be concerned about an injury.

On April 3rd against the Giants, when the Mets beat them 10 to 3,

Juan Soto left with a calf issue.

On April 22nd, when the Mets beat the twins and finally ended that disgusting losing streak,

Lindor left with a calf issue. When they beat the Tigers two days ago, Francisco Alvarez, torn meniscus. And then last night, the Mets win a dramatic game against the Detroit Tigers. They win a series, and now we've got to be worried about Juan Soto's foot. What's up with that? I mean, it's just, it's just bad luck. I was going to say

luck, but it's not good luck. Because when you say luck, you hear good luck. It's bad luck for this

MET team. But I think the good thing about it, Evan, is it's forcing these young kids to be

pushed into action. And for the first time, I think, maybe not all season, but the first time consistently this season, this team feels like it has Jose Iglesias on it.

You know what I mean?

And I'm not saying that he had any kind of impact as a player, but there was an impact that he had as an emotional galvanizer.

And it felt like fun. They have they have some juice well it's juice but

it's also it looks enjoyable yeah i think for most of the season it's felt like all right we got

all these guys that are that are they're on prove it deals maybe they'll help us on the margins

horay polanco and louise robert junior even boba shitett, even though I think he's in a slightly different category. But they felt so damn serious. And then all of a sudden, all these young kids come up, Carson Benj, when he hits an RBI, the Mets win. AJ Ewing, who is just a ridiculous athlete, even though he struck out to end the ninth, you know, in the tent that put him in as the ghost, the Manfred man. I was happy he struck out. 100%. At least he starts the 10th as the manfred man. And so it's like all of a sudden, and then you get Carson Benz, getting another hit up right up the middle. And as soon as the ball leaves this bat and it's not getting caught in the air, you know the game's over, right?

AJ Ewing is going to get around third and score, and he did.

It just, like, he just felt this energy that this youth movement is bringing.
