York on this beautiful Thursday afternoon Metsson Nationals finale of this three-game series mets going for the sweep today and today’s starting lineups are sponsored by Ramsey Mazda choose wisely choose Ramsey Masa for the visiting Washington Nationals who are 30 and 37 mets have beaten them nine straight times in this ballpark short stop CJ Abrams leads off then the left fielder James Wood bats behind him the second baseman Luis Garcia Jr bats third nathaniel Low hits clean up he plays first base josh Bell bats fifth as the designated hitter and it’s right fielder Alex Call batting sixth jose Tain the third baseman batting seventh kay Ruiz the switchhitting catcher hits eighth and Robert Hassel the third the rookie is in center field and batting ninth michael Sroka on the mound who made his debut against the mans in 2018 he made his last start before getting hurt without Achilles in 2020 he’s on the mound today for Washington one more time for the Nats abrams at short wood in left garcia Jr at second low at first bel DH’s calls in right Tana at third Ruiz the catcher and Hassel is in center field now for the New York Mets who are 44 and 24 for the first time this year 20 games better than 500 they have a five-game lead over Philadelphia in the National League East francisco Lindor leads off he plays short stop brandon Demo bats behind him he’s out in left field wan Sodto in right field batting third first baseman Pete Alonzo is the Mets cleanup hitter presented by Surfro like it never even happened jeff McNeel in the five spot playing second base dh today is the six hitter Stling Marte third baseman Brett Batty bass seventh tyrone Taylor hits eighth place center field and the catcher back from his very very very short stint on the paternity list the new proud papa Francisco Alvarez bats night then does the catching catching Kodi and his erra the lowest RA in the National League only guy better in the game is Nathan Evaldi down with Texas 1.56 ERA but you’re split pairs at that point for Sang Lindor short nmo in left Sodto in right Alonzo at first McNeel at second Marte Dhing Batty at third Taylor in center Alvarez does the catching i cannot believe it i cannot believe my eyes kotaanka has chosen the home whites with the pinstripe it’s never happened before basically I’m being a little glib here he’s picked it before but he never really did as a member of the Mets he loves everything else except the true home whites with the blue pinstripe blue hats NY and orange across the front of the hat the Nationals stay in their road gray top gray pants navy blue helmet and red brim a lot of that popping today the sun shining down here on this 88° day we are just about set cj Abrams walking to home plate walking up to the microphone the Hall of Fame radio voice of the New York Mets Howie Rose well thank you Keith and thankfully someone has spoken some good sense to Kodi Sena for wearing the traditional beautiful Mets home pinstripe uniform and so it goes as they have won the last two games first two games of this series in this ballpark wearing pinstripes but another story for another time abrams left-hand batter steps in sing first pitch of the game swing and a miss got out in front of a curveball i’m not sure I’ve ever seen Sanga throw a first pitch curveball to begin a game but there it is and Abrams swings through it for strike one tj Abrams batting 264 with nine home runs 0 and one the count to him uh the pitch swinging a ground ball foul up the first baseline he got the fourth ball there and it’s nothing and two abrams went 0 for four last night after a three hit performance in the opener of this series guy who spent some time earlier on the injured list this year with a hip problem and when he’s healthy he runs really well and two the outfield straightaway now the pitch way upstairs with a fast ball one and two so Singa if he hasn’t yet thrown the kitchen sink necessarily and you know he’s got such a wide arsenal he’s gone with the curve ball the fork ball the fast ball among the first three pitches so one and two and Singa holds the set now the pitch swinging a high pop up near first base into foul ground goes Alonzo shading his eyes and he makes the one-hand catch one man away so that will bring up the number two hitter James Wood and the Mets defensive alignment is brought to you by Orland and Cohen Orthopedic Group experiencing orthopedic pain well they’ve got specialists for that alonzo at first McNeel at second Lindor at short Batty at third Nemo Taylor Sodto left to right in the outfield Alvarez back behind the plate here’s the very talented left-hand hitting James Wood and the first pitch by Sanga taken a little bit below the knees a fast ball and it’s one and0 wood went two for four last night got five hits in his last 30 at bats as he has struggled recently but overall having a very nice year the 10 on the way fast ball high and away and the count two and 0 week two was part of that big deal with San Diego when Juan Sto went from the Nationals to the Padres’s washington got a great hall the 200 on the way check swing at a pitch in the dirt he did not go on appeal to third as Edwin Moscoso says no swing and it’s three and nothing on Wood with Luis Garcia Jr left-hand batter waiting on deck so 3 and 0 what could swing here this is an aggressive hitting team he does and he lines one just foul past the first base umpire and the count three and one that’s not the least bit of a surprise to see Wood or anybody else on this club swinging 3 and 0 they they don’t stand up there very long tell you what Dave Martinez after the game last night was frustrated about the lack of runs said “We need to take some more walks.” What are you talking about you guys swing at everything as we saw there on three and 0 well three and one the count now to Wood and Sangad deals swinging a looper over first that’s a base hit going into right field picked up by Sodto wood to first will hold on there with the first hit of the afternoon a one- out single and Luis Garcia coming up well it shouldn’t have been an epiphany for Dave Martinez because only the Rockies have walked fewer times they almost don’t even count anymore but you know only the Rockies have walked fewer times than the Nationals and the Nationals don’t strike out much only the Padres’s have struck out fewer times than the Nationals so they don’t spend a whole lot of time getting comfortable in the batters box luis Garcia Jr left-hand hitting second baseman the batter but first a soft toss to first base wood is backstanding the umpire’s lineup brought to you by RWJ Barnabas Health let’s be healthy together visit rwjbh.org chad Witson calling the balls and strikes today sanga to the belt his first pitch to Garcia taken a little bit low one ball and no strikes the crew chief Chris Gion is the umpire at first david Reckley at second and Edwin Moscoso is the umpire at third garcia hitting 262 five home runs 27 RBI’s good young all-around ball player the 10 foul rolling over towards the third base dugout one and one the carum fielded by third base coach Ricky Gutierrez who was a Met right near the end of his career for well a few games anyway in 2004 erdardo Parra Baby Shark on the coaching lines at first the 1-1 hit on the ground to first backhanded by Alonzo throws to second one lindor to first sena covers the throw not there in time very close to a 361 double play but again Garcia a good all-around player gets down the line well mets have asked to hold on for a second while they decide if it’s worth a challenge you got to be just about 100% sure if you’re going to challenge this early in the game and the Mets are not and so two men away in exchange of base runners as Wood is out at second three to six and Garcia the runner at first i was watching Sanger he got off the mound great sprinted over there put his head down tried to get his feet set looked at Lindor and Garcia all the while just too fast yep simple as that so here’s Nathaniel Low good power left-hand batter first pitch taken for a call strike a cutter it’s nothing and one low went 0 for three last night had a two-run homer going one for five on Tuesday night only hit that he’s had in this series garcia medium-sized lead at first batty off the line at third and the 01 rolled past the mound to the right side of the infield fielded by Lindor coming across from short and he throws to first in time to retire the side no runs a hit one left middle of the first washington nothing take a hack at guessing which baseball player or managers said the following i really don’t know what to say i’m just uh so happy I gave something these people cheer we all did i mean it was a great game both teams played incredible it was a great game that’s Mike Piaza after he hit an eighth inning go ahead home run in the first New York Mets home game after 911 hear moments like this and more on the MLB

smooth exhilaration of the allectric L or the spacious Escalade or Escalade IQ discover which Cadillac is right for you visit your Tri-State Cadillac dealer last of the first inning the Nationals did not score in the top half against Kodi Singa and now the Mets will face Michael Sarroa who is still pretty young certainly by conventional standards but even by baseball standards he’s 27 now he’ll turn 28 in August and he has come back from a nightmarish run of several years coming back from an Achilles injury first pitch to Francisco Lindor take an outside ball one that injury the original one occurred in a game against the Mets during the co season of 2020 the 10 on the way to Lindor as a curve in for a called strike and the count one and one now you know I look at that and see curve ball some would see slider and so fittingly Soka calls it a slur the 1-1 well there’s another one that’s over the inside corner for a called strike one and two it’s almost semantic isn’t it because there are so many different variations of pitches these days the sweeper now right in the middle of it one-two fast ball taken outside two and two to Lindor but all right you got to humor a guy if he says he throws a sler some people want to call it one thing some people want to call it something else he says slerve we’ll give him his slur here’s the 2-2 swing and a foul straight back but Sarroa went down in a heap in that game against the Mets in August 2020 my broadcast partner at the time Wayne Randazzo immediately said “Uhoh that looks like an Achilles.” The 22 tapped foul up the first baseline though remains two and two to Francisco Lindor and the shame of it apart from the simple fact that a good young player got hurt is that he was on his way to becoming a star he was an allstar as a rookie finished second in the rookie of the year voting in 2019 two two pitch down and in a fast ball three and two he was sixth in the saw young voting that year and then it all came undone in that game against the Mets in August of 2020 payoff pitch to Lindor swinging a foul going back to the screen well it was only Pete Alonzo’s rookie home run record in 19 pete was the one that won it that year seroka was right behind him yep and then he reinjured that Achilles on the comeback trail but here he is making his eighth start he’s three and three and the payoff pitch upstairs ball four and then the door draws the lead off walk and for Michael Soka that’s a rarity relatively speaking only the eighth walk that he’s allowed in 37 innings so the Mets get the leadoff man on and Brandon Niml who’s been a hot batter will be next it’s one of the better parts of his game that actually when he was a free agent after his tenure with the White Socks last year he made some improvements i thought maybe he’d be kind of a David Sternses project maybe the vets would be interested in somebody like him but it’s just good to see him back one-year deal trying to rebuild his career he’s done great so far there’s Nemo who’s rebuilt his season lately two run two home run game last night left-hand batter first pitch breaking ball high ball one this is just one man’s opinion and I know it dict often dictated by whether it’s a righty or a lefty on the mound but I love NMO in the two-hole here for so many reasons he’s a little bit more patient you got a guy at first base like Lindor who can steal a base it’s good to have a left-hand batter up the one on the way taking on the outside corner a fast ball one and one i say that because at first baseman has to hold against the stolen base threat so it opens the hole up on the right side the pull side for NMO and he’s patient so he’ll let a base stealer like Lindor got a chance to try his luck throw over and Lindor dives back in again even with that broken toe for Lindor remember he shocked us all in Colorado came out the first time he got a start that Saturday game hit a single and kind of joged to first eventually stole two bases in that game so he’s good to go and always loved the side of the Nationals this year big jump for Lindor now he’s going back to the bag as the pitch is delivered inside two balls and one strike and I I don’t know that’s another thing to talk to Antoine Richardson about because a lot of these Mets base runners lately have been taking these huge walking leads to where they get sometimes a quarter maybe even a third of the way down to second base before the pitch is delivered that time Lindor went back to the bag two-1 NMO swinging a high fly ball to right field pretty deep ball going back onto the track looks to have room and he makes the one-hand catch lindor hustles back to first one man away and Lindor still at first but he almost was on his way to home play cuz NMO just did get under one tell you what those guys in the bullpen out there you can see right into the fence in right field saw two guys put their hands straight up thinking that they’re going to get another one they got a lot of action there last night off Brandon Nimmo and Wan Sodto well here is Sodto and boy does he ever get more and more comfortable with the entire environment here he is now homered in four straight games here at City Field including last night first pitch taken a little bit low and inside for ball one just in his last two games Homer in both of them he’s gone four for eight in this series four runs batted in and he’s enjoying this month as he did the very end of May one and0 to one his average up to 252 now the pitch outside and high ball two go back to May 30th his OPS is almost 1,400 he’s hit 390 since then 15 runs scored 10 RBI’s over his last 12 games and just for good measure he’s 6 for 10 with a couple of homers against Soka no score one outland at first the two in for a called strike a fast ball that’s two and one i talk about his getting comfortable with the whole environment here last night after his home run when he went out to right field fans down the right field line were standing and cheering and chanting his name throw to first lendor dives back in and uh I think that’s two disengagements on one in this one in this one okay i thought it might have been two in this plate appearance but anyway when Sodto went out to right field and got that ovation he turned not only to acknowledge the crowd and just kind of wave at him but he clapped his hands pointing to them too telling him how much he appreciates it two-1 pitch take it to the knees called strike the fastest ball and it’s two and two so every day it’s getting better and better for Juan Sodto and that’s why the Mets are where they are they’ve won five in a row they’ve outscored the opposition 35-2 in that stretch two-2 pitch taken down and in a fast ball full count we’ll see if Lindor’s running here on three and two that’s with a 44 and 24 record tied for the second best first 68 games of a season in franchise history 1988 2022 same record only the legendary 86 Mets were better going 47 and 21 so let’s see about Lindor he is running the payoff pitch taken low ball four lindor sliding into second base the throw unnecessarily made by Ruiz but he wasn’t taking any chances lindor looks like he’s a little slow to get up here as all four simply meant that he was going to get to second whether he slid walked or took an Uber he looked at second base umpire David Rackley as he’s peeling himself off the dirt to go “What what’s going on David?” And David holds up the four fingers okay I can I can rest easy now so first and second two walks in the inning and here’s Alonzo and he takes a fast ball for a called strike nothing at one beat Alonzo extended his hitting streak to eight straight games last night with an RBI double in the first inning batting .302 17 homers major league leading 63 RBI’s and the 01 is low inside one ball and one strike so uncharacteristically Sroka has walked two batters in this inning and Alonzo not only leading the majors in runs betted in he’s sixth in the National League in hitting tied for fifth in homers the 1-1 lifted in the air to right field pretty deep but playable again call back at the edge of the track to make the catch two men away lindor tags goes to third and the Mets have come within a few feet of a couple of home runs in this inning so two out now runners at the corners and that will bring up Jeff McNeel who is the star of the show according to Key Food because he is in our coveted and haunted fifth batter spotlight muzzle look for all of your favorite products at your local key food key food and their family of supermarkets tom McNeel’s been swinging the bat well too betting 265 now six homers 19 runs betted in he’s hitting five straight one for four last night always hit well against the Nationals no score runners at the corners two out on the first seroka’s first pitch sodto runs pitch taken for a strike pump fake no throw made by Ruiz stolen base for Juan sodto part of his game that he’s trying to improve more and more this year and eight for eight now on the bases so again we’ve talked about how many times have we said Antoine Richardson’s name on a broadcast this year and even last year what a difference he’s made you bet what a guy to talk to also second and third two out the 01 hit in the air to deep right field this one down the line and might go and it is gone a home run for Jeff Mcfield he tucked it just inside the foul pole in the right field corner a threerun homer it’s his seventh home run of the year the Mets are leading by a score of three to nothing well they flirted with home runs to right field the first couple from NMO and Alonzo sent to the warning track around the 370 mark this one was right down the line and just stayed fair and the Mets have a three to nothing first in hitting lead tell you we’ve seen this monthto and Alonzo go nuts but Jeff McNeel has now hit four homers in his last six games that is scary starling Marte takes high for ball one you know we’re talking to Carlos Mendoza before the game yesterday about McNeel and you know whether or not as competitive as he is he might feel a little challenged right now the 1 taken high and tie 2 and 0 because Brett Batty left-handed hitter he’s gotten a lot of time at second base even though that’s often meant that Jeff’s been in the lineup anyway in the outfield center field but you know between that Akunia Mauricio being here two Oda Marte swung on and missed two and one you know that’s created some opportunities for others to play a position that’s been largely Jeff’s for the past half dozen years or so but he’s heating up to one de Mart fast ball in for a called strike and it’s two and two oh the Mets making Sroka pay for the two walks he doesn’t walk many but the two in this

inning go-ahead home run in the first New York Mets home game after 9/11 hear moments like this and more on the MLB app and MLB.com while switch hitting Bell switch hitting DH leads off oda’s first pitch right down the middle of fast ball for a call strike one it’s been a struggle for Bill this year he has hit nine home runs but he’s batting just a buck 76 takes his time out here and he’s done virtually nothing right-handed he’s batting left-handed against the righty Sanga he’s had just two hits in 39 at bats right-handed this year oh and won the count now SA deals and the fourth ball is low one ball and one strike on Bell who is two for eight including a home run against Sa alex call and Jose Tena to follow in the second inning one other thing evident this afternoon the 1-1 hit on the ground to the right side reaching down to grab it mcneel the second baseman throws to first in time one away and what you’ll hear from time to time the sound of Young Lunk and there are very few happier sounds you’ll hear at a ballpark that when the kids are here and a lot of school kids from the area were on hand this morning for the annual weather education seminar chaired by Mr g longtime weather man at channel 11 former Met Nelson Figureroa alex Call takes inside thought he might have been clipped with that pitch but he was not and it’s one and0 to the Nationals right fielder hear those little kids screaming at a ballpark that’s a great sound the one a check swing he went around on appeal to first chris Gion rings up strike one on call the former Cleveland Guardian who went 0 for three last night betting at 280 with two homers 16 runs batted in batty even with a bag in tight at third and the 1-1 and a sinker that missed low inside it’s like I used to like it at the miners those camp days like opening a box of crayons you got them all sitting 50 purple shirts there 50 teal shirts there 52 orange shirts over there all together in this ballpark here’s the 2-1 to call swinging a roller to third right at Batty he’s got it sidearms to first in time two men away you know it’s not even camp season yet what’s today the 12th so we’re about 9 days away from the beginning of summer and generally the day camps in the area begin around the first of July give or take a couple of days depending on the school schedule but you know once twice during the summer they have special camp days here where the kids come to the ballpark or heading back to get the bug juice at the campgrounds joseia left hand batter up sanga’s first pitch cutter at the knees for a called strike nothing and one second inning is powered by Invesco QQQ the official ETF of the New York Mets tomorrow’s innovation awaits with Invesco QQQ let’s rethink possibility the 01 check swing at a fork ball in the dirt one ball and one strike betting at 254 with no homers 13 runs betted in he too coming over from the Cleveland Guardians still have to think before saying that to the 1-1 fast ball high and outside ball too you know you start following baseball in 1961 and they were the Cleveland Indians we called them that until about 5 years ago those old habits die hard for you youngans it’s easy here’s the 2-1 that’s on the inside corner good cutter that’s where that ball goes against a left-hand batter from a right-hand pitcher with a cutter that kind of goes across the plate just catches the inside edge right around the belt maybe a little below it two two coming big slow curve i don’t know if that slipped out of his hand or if something’s wrong or not he just shook his glove to say I I don’t know what that was but it wasn’t my idea and he’s got a big smile on his face right now thing you worry about initially is that he hurt something there but apparently not they’ll have a good laugh about that they don’t even put up the pitch type on the board 51 mph whoa there comes Alvarez to the mound just to check in on SA but the good news is when SA released the ball and it floated to the plate he had a big smile on his face i’ve asked Carlos Mendoza this question because about one a game Sanga will float that little 65 67 mph curve ball in there and you remarked the first pitch of the game today is when he chose to do it carlos says “I never know when he’s going to throw it i hold my breath when it’s in the air because it’s in the air that long you hope nobody’s ready to time it sanga though that one was a little too slow well this will be a payoff pitch to Tena and it’s hit on the ground to second a roller right into the glove of McNeel sidearms to first in time side retired so for a Washington team that so often hits the ball on the ground they’re playing let’s see if we can figure out the following baseball slang term today’s phrase is oppo do you know

top of the zone and Soroka has his first strikeout so one away Tyrone Taylor coming up in the second inning is powered by Invesco QQQ the official ETF up for the New York Mets tomorrow’s innovation awaits with Invesco QQQ let’s rethink possibility invesco distributors incorporated taylor’s bat has slowed down lately takes the first pitch outside for ball one tyrone got into the game last night as a defensive replacement did not come to the plate the one curve inside i don’t know if that hit the glove and went to the back stopper might have nicked his bat i think it was just the glove of the catcher Ruiz in the count’s two and 0 seen a 51 mph curve ball from Sanka now that one from Michael Seroka a little more natural 83 mph a little high two pitch swing and a miss at a fast ball two and one tyrone five hits in his last 31 times at the plate three to nothing new York one out nobody on last of the second two-1 pitch fast ball little bit low three and one and I don’t know if Sroa has reason to think that Chad Witson’s been squeezing him a little bit it doesn’t appear to be the case from up here those two walks in the first uncharacteristic and the 3-1 is taken low and inside ball four but Taylor draws the third walk allowed by Sroa in an inning and a third it only walked seven in 37 innings coming in yeah very uncharacteristic indeed what is new for him this year as opposed to years past when he was throwing about 92 mph getting a lot of contact outs velocity’s been hot he’s touched about 95 mph today has been consistent all year but missing his spots right here uh here is Francisco Alvarez first pitch to the rightand better breaking ball outside ball one congratulations to Francisco who became a dad last night his daughter Ranata was born r E N A T A welcome to the world and the Mets family ranada Alvarez want to know the count quick throw to first diving back in as Taylor i know ranata’s mom had quite a go of it she was induced what was yesterday wednesday so she was induced I think Monday late Monday and she still hadn’t given birth as of about 3:00 yesterday afternoon or whatever time we talked to Carlos Mendoza 10 pitch taken outside two balls and no strikes so I don’t know whether they ended up doing a C-section or not but they weren’t going to get it or let it go much longer without doing that after having induced her and that has to be difficult to an extreme that none of us in the male species can ever relate to the 20 taking on the outside corner two and one for instance he’s here and I’m sure she’s she’s still there that’s what I would imagine is the case you decided I’m going to go to work today a little bit differently well let’s see how Ranata handles it when my daughter Chelsea was born on June 2nd 1993 I was broadcasting the Stanley Cup final for NHL radio between Montreal and Los Angeles two and one to Alvarez big lead taylor runs pitch taken low and away throw by Ruiz not in time stolen base for Tyrone Taylor his eighth of the year he’s only been caught once and again he had that big tiptoe lead so a runner at second with one out in a 3-1 count to Alvarez but anyway I got a call from my wife Barbara the morning after game one in Montreal she said “I think you better get home today’s the day.” I said “Are you sure?” She said “Get home no follow-up questions allowed Howie nope so I hustled up a flight 3-1 to Alvarez pulled on the ground to third right at Tena he’s got it throws the first in time two men away this was pre 911 so I was able to get this thing in motion pretty quickly got to the hospital with about an hour to spare before Chelsea made her debut and then the next morning I had to get on a plane and go back to Montreal for game two of the Stanley Cup final then out to LA for games three and four and thankfully the Canadians got it over with in five to this day Chelsea says “You abandoned me.” So I hope Francisco does a little better with Ranada francisco Lindor takes a call strike a fast ball of the knees it’s nothing and one is one of those weird things is professional sports is at this just a different level sometimes about commitments it is what it is even though it doesn’t seem like it should be and the guy at the plate right now Francisco Lindor remember what was it amapola was born he was he was speared the next day pinch hit it’s unbelievable what uh they have to do be here for for these games 0 and one to Lindor taylor bouncing off second the pitch breaking ball in for a called strike 0 and2 now when Charlotte was born did you had you taken Lama’s classes or do they not even do that anymore no I had heard about Lamas from uh my mother would tell me when you’re ever stressed out i learned about this Lamas technique about breathing so I had heard about it but uh no I had said that I didn’t want to be part of anything and then I was part of everything o2 to the door swinging a bouncer to first base yielded waist high by low trots to the bag in

batting left and he takes a 69 mph curve ball from Kodi Sena right down the middle of the plate this time for a called strike one that’s the third one we’ve seen today 01 ruiz takes a little outside that was another curve ball at 72 and that’s one ball and one strike and it’s like your uncle throwing you wiffle balls in the backyard right now with what Sang is doing to the Nationals just messing around with them infield back around to the right the 1-1 louise sees a fork ball in the dirt that’s a little more normal for Sanga and it’s two balls in one strike but the men have sported Sanga a three nothing lead thanks to a three-run home run by Jeff McNeel bottom of the first here we are top three sanga lifts the leg two-1 coming floated missed inside 65 mph curveball what’s going on here this is obviously much more peculiar than we have ever seen from Sanga once twice a game but three and one at bat here’s a 3-1 hit off the end of the bat to right field sto freezes doesn’t even move now takes one step back raises the glove makes the catch and there’s one away he ended up throwing a 90 mph cutter but Ruiz flies out for his last 17 now kar Ruiz one out top three it’ll bring up the center fielder Robert Hassel III who is the last man in the building that has not hit yet 17 games since his call up from TripleA 15 for 63 that’s a 238 batting average for a guy that one of the top prospects pitch Hassel swings through a fast ball 96 and it’s nothing in one that’s kind of the funny part about Sanka he’ll give you 66 and then he’ll give you 96 which is what he has displayed today against Washington hassel open stance on that left side the 01 swing and a miss at a devastating fork ball diving down in the dirt 0 and2 on Hassel who was part of the Wanoto deal we have joked that this is the Wanoto versus the four Wanoto series a lot of the guys in the lineup a lot of the guys that are nationals are part of the future used to be part of the Padres’s future before the Nats and the Padres’s made that sodto deal in 22 02 hassel holds up on the fork ball diving down and away in that trade CJ Abrams McKenzie Gore Robert Hassel James Wood came over that’s an unbelievable hall one two got him looking outside corner with 96 simply not fair but Kodai Sena who has again gone between 66 and 96 today puts Hassel away with 96 mph for his first strike out and the first Met strike out of the game brought to you by Ward Realtors don’t settle for a good agent go for a great one at wer.com now back to the top of the order for CJ Abrams who was again part of that deal for Sodto

nothing and one niml’s got that uppercutesque swing he’s always been a a good hitter to all fields but you can see some of those lefty swings are framed beautifully his eyes go toward right field 01 missed down and away with a change up that’s one ball and one strike he had one of the two fly outs to the warning track in the first inning for the Mets until eventually Jeff McNeel broke through pulling a ball into the seats for a three-run homer 1-1 fouled back to the screen 94 mph fast ball and still one and two on NMO hits in 14 of his last 15 starts you can tell with Lindor Nimo STO

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] much more with the Arsenal not totally heavy on the fast ball fork ball but adding a bunch of different pitches so that the opposition just doesn’t know what’s coming next and frankly for the first time since watching Sanga we have no idea what’s coming next with all these 70 mph curve balls today three nothing New York top four one out bases clear deep breath and the O2 swing and a miss of fork ball that is three four strikeouts in a row now for Kodi Sena second time through the lineup he is having his fun today and here comes lefty Nathaniel Low and that might be part of it you know we knew something was up when he threw that first pitch curveball to CJ Abrams to start the game but he’s throwing the fork ball more and more over the last couple of innings now and that’s no doubt by design here is Nathaniel Low big lefty batter mets by three in the fourth pitch missed outside with the fork ball one ball and no strikes low grounded out up the middle great play by Lindor moving all the way to the second base side here jeff McNeel caught him off to make the throw here’s the 10 pitch that’s low for ball two now is the perfect time to get a Peerless Boiler don’t wait go to peerless boilers.com for more info and an installer near you remember Peerless Boilers the world’s best built Boilers mets up three nothing top of the fourth two-0 on low s wide open stance from that left side pitch it’s the outside corner with a fast ball and it’s two and one and speaking of I mentioned that fork ball one of the best in the world it was actually Jerry Dotto GM of the Seattle Mariners and actually former Met that called Sanga’s fourth ball the best fork ball in the world that was when Sango was a free agent 2-1 applied foul third base sign couldn’t touch 96 there and it’s two and two but when Billy Epner was here the sign sang him has turned out to be quite a fight [Music] and the pitch swung on and fouled back and out of play holding one ball and two strikes well Taylor who’s the men’s center fielder steps to the plate centers Healthcare would like to remind you that they’re not just care they’re care that moves you centershealthcare.com keller walked and stole a bag his first time up pitch breaking ball in for a strike another sler and it’s nothing and one and we’ve seen Seroka totally switch now to the breaking stuff second time around against these Mets 01 breaking ball cut on a miss couldn’t hold up on the check swing another slerve and it’s 0 and two remarking in that first inning where Sarroka who hadn’t walked really anybody this year walked two of the first three batters to get himself in trouble was missing with his fastball o2 swinging a miss three straight slerves right down the line and Taylor strikes out two so he and Batty have both gone down in that slerve five strikeouts now for Sroa four of them have come second tied to the lineup and here’s Francisco Alvarez that’s three nationals nothing bottom of the fourth alvarez grounded out to third he’s 0 for one first pitch righty to righty zips down the middle for a called strike 95 mph fast ball nothing in one and two walks one of Lindor one of Sodto and then McNeel hit a three-run home run dro has changed his game since then 01 missed low and away a fast ball one ball and one strike really did a nice job last year with the White Socks starter was okay and then went to the bullpen and figured a lot of things out alvarez calls for his time and is how he talked about it you really do root for a guy like Michael Sroa anybody who’s had an injury like he had ice the Achilles has gone on him that is just unfair 1-1 breaking ball tap foul on the third base line and it’s one and two made his debut in 2018 and this is just the 60th major league start made his debut going on seven calendar years ago deep breath turns his feet here’s the one two to Alvarez missed outside tried the slerve balls and two strikes didn’t pitch at all in 2021 at all in 2022 and in 2023 made just a handful of outings for the Braves 2-2 down low miss with a slerve three balls and two strikes alvarez has run the count full in his second plate appearance trying to get on ahead of Lindor in the top of the Yoda that follows him beautiful sunny day in Flushing mets have a three nothing lead payoff foul to the right and out of play alvarez back for a couple days on the paternity list mets are hoping offensively maybe found something out in Colorado when he hit that home run on Sunday 450 ft shot

fifth inning at City Field three nothing men lead over Washington good crowd today a lot of people celebrating an anniversary today in this ballpark the anniversary of Grimace when he threw out the first pitch last year and single-handedly according to some turned the Mets season around it was June 12th of last year mets were 29 and 37 turned it around was one of the many folktales from last year Howie that this year the Mets are just doing some plain old winning yeah that stuff was all last year this is a different year the Mets are writing a new story josh Bell leads off kodi Singa’s first pitch down and in ball one and the point is every season has its own texture its own feel things happen spontaneously over the course of a year that give it its particular flavor the one to Bell they get outside a cutter two balls and no strikes and last year the expectations were relatively low at the start of the season so some of that stuff that appeared gimmicky kind of stuck because the Mets started to play better this year they don’t need that stuff two on the way swing and a miss right over a cutter and it’s two and one to Josh Bell that doesn’t mean something won’t come along sometime this year that somebody will grab on to and say “Aha.” But the turning point this year basically was spring training at least to this point they’ve been that good two-1 pitch hit on the ground to first fielded at the shoot tops by Alonzo touches up in plenty of time pan Bell is out one man away and that will bring up Alex Call the right fielder i mean I I agree with you wholeheartedly by the time you’re looking for something peripherally that you can latch on to you’re watching balls fly out on the offensive side and pitchers get out of jams on the on the other side it’s It’s just been good to see that they’re flat out winning games that’s it i mean they’re just good accept it stop looking for mascots first pitch the call hit right back through the middle pass Sanga backed up by McNeel behind second and he throws the first in time two men away i don’t think that grazed Kodi it clipped the mound and maybe changed the trajectory just a little bit as the ball approached McNeel but Jeff stayed with it just like that two more ground ball outs and there are two men away in this fifth inning which is sponsored by HLAC 825 building our future so two up two down joseeno will be next and the first pitch by Singa to the left-hander is taken down and in for ball one of course last year the the big thing was OMG and Jose Alacius outside to Tena with a cutter two balls and no strikes i can’t believe this this prop out of nowhere i turn to my right and Keith is hoisting the OMG home giveaway from last year living in the past man that was so 2024 200 to Tania fouled straight back and out of play it’s two and one i mean Eglacius this year in San Diego has been in 44 games he’s hit 246 he hasn’t homered driven in 13 runs they caught lightning in a bottle with him last year david Sterns and they didn’t think twice about bringing him back a 2-1 in for a called strike two and two again nothing to do with Eclacius at all but more about who the Mets have in the organization that they’ve needed to get some playing time for and learn more about batty Bentos Paricio 22 to Tena outside and high with a fast ball three and two so yeah you can get stuck living in the past even if the past is as recent as less than 12 months ago three and two to Tena Sangadil’s swinging a foul straight back in fact I remember 1984 when the Mets turned the corner baby Davy Johnson’s first year as manager that was the year the Ghostbusters came out and the Cubs were at the top of the division for most of the year as it turned out Mets were supposed to be Cubs busters that was the gimmick 3-2 pitch is upstairs ball four and Sing walked his first batter two out base on balls to Tenia and that’ll bring up Kbert Ruiz the number eight hitter kind of like that i never heard that before busters yeah there were Cubs busters t-shirts and stuff going on that made their way to the ballpark when Cubs came to Shay in late July as I recall the match actually opened up as much as I think it was about a 4 and a half game lead in late July and then the Cubs came in took three out of four and they were on their way first pitch to Ruiz outside and high a curve one ball and no strikes mets leading here three to nothing with two out pñena the runner at first in the fifth inning that was some year for the Cubs until it all got away in the postseason in LCS against San Diego the 10 pop foul straight back out of play one and one you know Bill Buckner was a terrific player but when you say the name the first thing most people think of is that ball going through his legs leon Durham was a pretty good hitter for the Chicago Cubs he was their first baseman in 84 but in the fifth and final game against San Diego ball went right through his legs and that started the Padres’s back to the victory the 1-1 taken low and away two and one to Ruiz but I don’t think when you say the name Leon Durham it wasn’t as high-profile a player as Bill Buckner was that people immediately think of the ball going through his five hole former Cardinal went on to play for the Cubs 2-1 pitch at the knees a cutter and it’s two and two i mean it took people like me growing up

every game powered by number one Westbury Toyota we go to the bottom of the fifth inning at City Field jeff McNeel’s three-run home run stands that came in the first inning it is three to nothing New York york and so as you hear my girl serenating Francisco Lindor on his way to home plate the Mets will start their third time through against Michael Sarroa who’s only allowed one other hit apart from that home run by McNeel that was to Brandon NMO who’s on deck and then Juan Sto will follow here in the last of the fifth inning three nothing New York first pitch to Lindor wung on and fouled straight back out of play it’s 0 and one francisco is walked and grounded to first keith was talking earlier about Michael Seroka being from Calgary in Alberta in Western Canada the 01 on the way good breaking ball in the slur a called strike and it’s 0 and2 that got me to wondering i didn’t ask Soka yesterday or the day before but I wonder who he’s rooting for in the Stanley Cup final the O2 taken outside a change of one and two i say that because I’m sure as a Canadian he would love a Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1993 but I doubt he’s rooting for the Edmonton Oilers one two on the way hit on the ground to the right side charged by the second baseman Garcia he’s got it takes a beat now flips to first softly in time to get in the door one man away because Edmonton and Calgary they don’t like each other that’s what makes Canadian hockey so great of the NHL teams is a lot of those that don’t like each other but it’s more of a do you swallow your local pride for your national pride there’s got to be a little bit of that right 1993 is so hard to think about the last time a Canadian team won it all here’s Brandon Memo first pitch breaking ball down and in ball one 81 mph slur sponsored by Spectrum a fast and reliable connection making more things possible spectrum you know what else is unbelievable about that going back to the 93 Stanley Cup 10 to NMO outside with a slur 2 and 0 i mentioned earlier I was broadcasting that series it ended in Montreal in game five there was a little party for the media at the league headquarters hotel to Nmo hit high in the air to right field pretty deep down the line lot of hang time it is gone a home run off the facing of the CocaCola quarter in right field brandon NMO who homerred twice last night hits number 13 on the year he’s hit more homers against the Nationals than any player versus any team this year and for NMO in his career but number 13 on this season gives the Mets a four to nothing lead yeah that Coca-Cola corner for lefties is such a pretty sight i think this one actually just got a piece of that that foul pole the netting off the foul pole just tucked it in there but here’s Juan Sodto and he takes low for ball one memo finding the home run range again not nearly halfway through this season he’s got 13 he’s looking at a replay now yeah did hit the screen you’re right say those words hit the screen and I hear Bob Murphy’s voice the one hit on the ground to second backing up Garcia he’s got it throws to first in time two men away murf called Billy Hatcher’s home run off of Jesse Arasco off the left field foul screen game six of the 86 LCS he hit the screen it hit the screen as Mets fans buried their face in their respective rugs if they were watching or listening at home but here’s Alonzo now with two out nobody on first pitch by Soka taken low inside ball one but just back to that Montreal story walking back to the hotel I was staying at i feared for my life there were store windows broken the 10 on the way take it outside 2 and 0 i mean Montreal Canadians it was like their 23rd or 24th Stanley Cup and they had little riots downtown we never ever have that in New York when a New York team wins a championship two Odo Alonzo swung on and miss two and one and Yeah yeah yeah i know it’s been a long time since we’ve had a New York team other than the Liberty who you know to their credit won the WNBA title last year but obviously that’s not going to elicit the same reaction 2-1 to Alonzo lifted in the air to right right at Alex Call makes the catch side retired that stuff always happens somewhere else doesn’t happen here what happened in the fifth though is Nemos is one hit one run nobody left and at the end of five the Mets four The Nationals

accidents happen when you least expect them if you’ve been injured visit the Rothenberg Law Firm at injuryawyer.com we go to the top of the sixth at City Field mets four city Field mets four Nationals nothing robert Hassel left-hand batter leads off against Kodi Sena first pitch fast ball is downstairs for ball one nestle struck out looking his first time up the first of four consecutive strikeouts recorded by Sanga all that he has in this game only allowed one hit here’s the one swaying and a miss late on that fast ball and the count one and one hassel the number nine hitter in the order and then Sanger will start the third time through facing CJ Abrams and James Wood one and one in tied at third and the pitch taken low he holds up on the fork ball and it’s two and one of course last night not only did David Peterson go through the Nationals order for a third time he faced their first four hitters a fourth time and shut him out complete game shut out the 2-1 foul straight back out of play it’s two and two you know it’s such a rarity nowadays it almost felt like the buildup to a no hitter in that ninth inning didn’t it oh absolutely and the celebration on the field afterwards all the hugs Peterson was getting yeah two and two to Hassel sa deals swinging and a miss strike three that fork ball just do straight down on Hassel who swung over top and that is strikeout number five for Sanga one away now Sanga is looking at being very efficient today he’s used the strikeout sparingly went on a little four strikeout run there so he has again just been toying with these guys all day 75 pitches right now that’s just a little bit ahead of schedule with one out in the sixth cj Abrams left hand better first pitch taken low the fork ball one couple of scores well one anyway a point from this one from the New York lottery play the new scratchoff games for your chance to win one and0 to Abrams now SA deals swinging a bouncing ball towards first to his right Alonzo backhands plants throws high to first Sanga brings it down but stumbles across the bag and appears to be hurt they get the out at first but something’s up with SA i don’t want to guess calf ankle hamstring it was a bit of a high throw so SA had to reach somewhat athletically and an unorthodox fashion and would you believe that Kodi Sa is down on the grass in foul territory immediately attended to by Brian Baka maybe the knee the hamstring and it looked like he was holding his hamstring area oh boy squeezing at the bottom of that right thigh behind it that’s the hamstring area above the knee sanga had to run leap and extend his body and extend his leg down to step on the bag which he did and then he ran by it and almost like he was joking around went into a tumble until he realized he was not joking around at all we’ve seen this obviously too many times with Kodi Sena looking at the replay now Keith he had to jump to reach for the ball as he approached the bag came down hard and immediately reached okay for the back of his right leg around the hamstring area just below the buttock oh boy and you’re looking at Sanga who hurt his calf last year hovering first here michael Soka tore his Achilles against the Mets he’s pitching today for Washington and you just had two guys that have had ugly moments off the mound and Sang is on his feet now in foul ground by first base but he’s going to walk off the field he’s got to and he he’s walking okay which is encouraging and they’re going to have to get somebody up in the bullpen and I think it’s Castillo and he’ll get all the time he wants and needs to get hot and Sanga somewhat gingerly goes down the steps of the Mets dugout and you just hope that this isn’t something that’s going to keep him out for a long period of time but he was just cruising along and now Singa leaves the game castillo will come in and get plenty of time and so this pitching change and this slowdown in action is brought to you by Isa let’s get

into your local Verizon store that’s when we’ll get the Q&A about Kodi Sanga who has left this game with an apparent hamstring injury completing a play at first base on a high throw from Pete Alonzo so Sangal Sang leaves after five and a third with the Mets leading the Nationals four to nothing he allowed just one hit no runs one walk five strikeouts he gives way to left-hander Jose Castillo and Mets would certainly appreciate some bulk here and saves some of the bullpen which should be in decent shape anyway james Wood the batter with two out takes a first pitch fast for a called strike nothing and one for Castillo his ninth appearance as a Met in eight innings has given up six hits and one unearned run five walks 10 strikeouts the one hit on the ground foul down the first base side 0 and2 so we’ll get more news on Sanga as soon as it becomes available to us mention there’s another game to report on which doesn’t mean anything to the Mets texas leading Minnesota 7-1 bottom five 0 and2 to Wood now the pitch swinging a liner towards second over the glove of McNeel and into right field for a base hit on an 02 pitch james Wood now has both Washington hits the two out single it’ll bring up Luis Garcia Jr howie the SNY caught the cameras of you know the infielders meeting after Sanger was tended to and you could see Lindor and Batty kind of patting Pete Alonzo on the shoulder to uh to kind of make him feel better he feels terrible after the high throw he probably is feeling all sorts of things that maybe it was his fault that he pulled Sanga so high yada yada yada well here’s Garcia left hand better first block swinging rips it in the air to right center pretty deep hustling over Taylor he dives he made the catch oh baby he just made a 1969 Tommy AG catch in the alley in right center field juan Sodto not Art Shamsky is up to Greet Taylor as he comes to his feet he made that catch diving to his left right at the edge of the warning track in right center field and then he skid it onto with a warning track that’s a Tommy AG special almost an identical catch no runs one hit one left don’t put it on YouTube you’ll see what I mean middle of the sixth inning it’s the

ball one as we begin the bottom of the six the Mets lead the Nationals four to nothing what a play by Tyrone Taylor to end the top of the inning the one to McNeel is low a slider from Sarroa pardon me from Eduardo Salazar has taken over on the mound for the Nationals so it’s 2 and 0 on McNeel but I just tweeted out in case you don’t have any recollection of Tommy AG’s 1969 catches the 200 down and into McNeel three and nothing the quickest thing I could find was a segment on AG’s overall performance in game three of that World Series which was simply one of the greatest single game performances in World Series history but when you get a chance watch his second catch the one against Paul Blair in right center field that is the almost carbon copy of the catch that Tyrone Taylor just made to end the top of the sixth inning taking a hit away from Luis Garcia three 0 to McNeel right down the middle three and one have you watched it yet Keith or are you familiar with it i am definitely familiar with it because I think remember was it last year at Yankee Stadium tyrone made a great catch too i think you brought that up to him on the bus after the game it wasn’t exactly this though 3-1 tap up the first baseline a fair ball mcneel stayed in the batters box thought it was foul low fields it in fair territory and steps on the bag for the out mcneel assumed and Felix Suner will tell you what happens when you assume but he is out at first one away and Stling Marte coming up i think if I remember right the catch that Taylor made last year was similar to AG’s first catch first pitch to Stling Marte taken for a called strike a slider nothing and one and I had um mentioned that to Tyrone on the bus and showed him the tape of AG’s catch and he was suitably impressed as he should have been the 01 taken low one ball in one strike and for Tyrone Taylor we’ve seen him make those kind of plays before but that ball’s in the air he’s running over you’re thinking “No way.” Right and then all of a sudden full extension he had it one-1 pitch swinging a high fly ball to right field should be easy for Alex Call and he makes the catch two men away so Salazar and Saroka kind of get through other than with NMO’s home run in the fifth the meat of the meds order presented by the Chef IQ sense a cooking thermometer that pairs with your phone and ensures you never overcook or undercook your chicken fish or meat again buy one at chefiq.com looking at SNY i don’t think they’ve shown Tommy’s catch yet against Blair but I would imagine somebody in that truck will queue it up any moment here’s Brett Batty and he takes on the outside corner strike one call maybe I’m just so ancient that I’m the only one that remembers it four nothing Mets two out nobody on bottom six the 01 way outside the Batty one ball and one strike brett has struck out both times up the day and is now stuck in a 4 for 39 slump here’s the 1-1 it hard on the ground up the middle a base hit going into center field for Batty so a two out single for Brett and it’ll bring up Tyrone Taylor and it never fails right the guy who made the great catch to end the top half of one inning always seems to bat fourth in the bottom half of that same inning get a nice hand from this crowd couple people rose to their feet acknowledging what a great defensive play it was just showed it on the video board too tyrone 0 for one is walked and struck out takes on the inside corner from Salazar strike one called we even had Ron Swab in the booth two days ago i mean we’re talk about catches and diving and this and that all week here i’m telling you sometimes there are similarities oh and one to Taylor and a ground ball through the hole base hit going into left field bobbled very briefly by Wood who recovers instantly batty holds it second so backto-back two out single and we’ll see what Francisco Alvarez can do to honor the arrival of his brand spanking new daughter Rinada speaking of spanking do doctors do that anymore when babies are delivered i don’t think so i don’t think parents really do that anymore either gone by the wayside with this generation well two men away alvarez is grounded to third and fly to center right and better first pitch taken outside back throw to first by Ruiz not in time to get Taylor alvarez is grounded to third and fly to center nets leading the Nationals four to nothing and Taylor’s catch taking away for a moment the immediate concern over Kodi Sanga who left with an apparent hamstring injury the 10 taken a little bit low two and0 to Alvarez say apparent well I think home played um Chad Witson missed that pitch right there yeah Gabriel Ruiz turned his head you could kind of feel him saying something to Witson two and0 to Francisco runners lead second and first the pitch on the side ball three we say apparent because you know you you read the body language and you read the gestures and in fact what Sanga did which was grabbing what looked like the hamstring just below the buttock but we’ll wait for word the 3 0 take outside ball force salazar in his first inning of work got the first two with that backto-back singles on a walk load him up for Francisco Lindor it’s going to bring Jim Hickeyi the pitching coach out to the mound for Salazar this is his 22nd appearance of the year and let’s just say it has not gone especially well coming in in 19 and 2/3 innings he’s allowed are you ready for this 35 hits and 22 runs in 19 and 2/3 innings that’s a rather beefy 10.07 earned run average 10 walks in the 19 and 2/3 which is now 11 and 20 in a third you can do anything you want with those numbers they ain’t going to look very good they’re hitting would you believe this 380 against Salazar and so maybe that’s got the door licking his chops as he comes to the plate with the bases loaded two out bottom six and the Mets leading four to nothing well I know that the Nationals bullpen just all told the only team that is worse than they are the Athletics A’s have a six RA out of the bullpen nationals 5.77 salazar not helping that let’s go seven career grand slams on the first pitch taken down and in ball one doris Walk grounded to first grounded to second batty’s the runner at third taylor the runner at second alvarez at first two out last of the sixth four to nothing New York clay Lindor to pull in the outfield he’s batting left-handed and the 10 in tight with a fast ball almost nicked him in the leg and it’s ball two in this situation getting better and better for Lor as they used to say no room at the end salazar to the belt two pitch way down and in almost clipped it in the leg again ball three well Lindor knows one of two things a he may get a cookie here on 3 and 0 cuz Salazar has no choice b look out because he’s almost hit you twice the 3 0 he takes it it’s at the knees a called strike three and one remember McNeel’s been hit today mets were hit twice yesterday they’ve been hit a lot and even if you don’t mean it it’s not fun to get thrown at well three and one the count salazar to the belt here’s the pitch swing and a foul back to the screen that’s the one he wanted he got the fast ball centered between the knees and the belt and Francisco fouled it back that’s the one that the hitter will sometimes take to bed with him at night but it does something with that so the runners going on three and two and the pitch hit on the ground to first waist high hop for low and he leads the pitcher Salazar to the bag in time side retired and Salazar escapes unscapes leave him loaded two hits three left into the end of six the Mets four the nationals nothing on Odyssey Mets radio powered by the allnew Nissan Kick like most car buyers you want to get the most for your money that’s Why more Mazda

Rose Keith Rad with you at City Field mets lead the Nationals four to nothing going to the seventh interestingly Carlos Mendoza swapping out Jeff McNeel for Luis on Helakuna ostensibly just as a defensive move for the Mets leading as we get into the late innings but remember McNeel did not run out that ball that he grounded the first i don’t know if there’s anything to that being the reason for the change we’ll find out later Keith yeah first pitch to Nathaniel Low is in for a strike from Jos Castillo a left on left at least for now for Castillo wasar Brazaban is throwing a right in the Met bullpen 01 chopper hit up the third baseline a foul ball that’s quickly nothing and two on low so the Mets who had Kodi Sanga playing well there for a while now have to piece it together in the bullpen sango when he left due to injury was just 77 pitches two outs in the sixth mets ahead here four nothing 02 another chopper third base side similar foul ball it rests right above the W and that New York Presbyterian logo up the third baseline that stays 0 and2 on low nice job win the Fran Healey trophy Dunkin Donuts you know you know oh boy Castillo set first base out of the rubber comes home blind toward left and that’s a base hit over Batty’s head picked up by NMO so low left on left gets a base hit and you have Josh Bell here who is a switch hitter so decisions decisions has to face him or move on to next as I mentioned Wascar Brazaban is warming up in the bullpen and you’ve got a righty Alex call on deck now Bell’s a switch hitter against lefties hitting 051 against righties 208 they’re going to stick with him here pitch in at the knees a called strike and it’s nothing at one castillo’s faced three batters given up two hits and both hits have come on 02 counts and the one that Garcia Jr hit Tyrone Taylor made an unbelievable catch on so out of these balls have almost found grass here 01 check swing and a pitch down and a peel to first chris Gucci said no swing it’s one and one on Bell that’s four nationals nothing top of the seventh runner at first base nobody out bell 0 for two today one-1 pitch pumped in for a strike 92 mph sinker and it’s one and two now we talk about the Sodto and the four Sodto trade all those players that ended up coming over here josh Bell went with Sodto to San Diego that’s sometimes forgotten about one two check swing he

even though he threw a we said a cookie to Francisco Lindor on three and one that Lindor fouled back the next pitch he grounded out and so the man certainly left some meat on the bone in that inning

over there 2-2 sort of it’s a line drive left center field wood racing over can’t get to it it drops off the warning track up against the wall sodto looking for two he’s there standing up with a double walking a double today for Juan Sodto eight hits in his last 14 at bats we’re seeing the hits we’re seeing the walks we’ve seen the power last few games and he’s on base against his former team with Pete Alonzo coming up i saw Mr g though talking with a microphone and then he handed the microphone off i said “Oh I guess he’s done.” And then they gave him the the t-shirt gun and he was popping those t-shirts under the crowd mr g’s day in the sun today here at City Field before the game runner at second base sodto bounces but doesn’t break the pitch to Alonzo runs inside with ball one once again we’re seeing Sodto and some of these runners time up the pitcher enough and get that secondary lead but don’t go anywhere was all Antoine Richardson isn’t it yeah absolutely sodto stolen a bag today kept close by the second baseman garcia Salazar’s pitch misses low sinker two balls and no strikes sodto’s careerhigh in steals in a in a single year at least is 12 he’s already at eight here on June 12th hands on his hips as he takes his lead off second four nothing Mets bottom seven two to Pete this is inside three balls and no strikes alonzo’s been on in 19 straight games and walks into this at bat 0 for three hasn’t been on yet today two fly outs to ride and a strikeout and I’m sure Pete thoughts swirling around his mind after what happened to Sena couple innings ago 3 0 outside ball four well he’s on now in 20 straight games with that walk into seven but Pete you can again see with the way the mans infield try to console him the high throw to first sangle left next thing you know he’s hurt leaves the field you could tell Pete was not happy and he’s really not been happy with his his tosses and flips to first base this year they’ve been at times hit or miss here’s Luis on Helakunia batting in Jeff McNeel’s spot righty versus righty pitch stared at or called strike one seen some errors from Pete at first we’ve also seen some great throws at first hence the the hit or miss but that was a play to his right fielded it and just threw way too high to Kodi Sangum 01 swing and a miss akunia chases big time slider down and away and it’s 0 and2 it’s got to be tough on Akunia huh his at bats or plate appearances have really dwindled over the last month has a high chase rate to begin with tough to stay disciplined 02 check swing tried to hold up that time and did on a good slider one ball and two strikes the Mets are starting to face themselves with the question of how long do we keep him up here now that Mauricio is here playing almost every day he’s out today mets are giving him a little time off probably back in there tomorrow one two just missed high I think pretty good looking pitch was framed by Ruiz but once again Eduardo Salazar does not get a call from Chad Witson will take it and it’s two and two but he did help the Mets win the other night coming into pinch run in the 10th inning and scoring against Washington 2-2 ground ball hit

Field 88° at game time the 01 roll towards the Mets dugout foul and it’s nothing and two temperature holding firm at 88 wind chill factor makes it feel 88 the O2 taken down and in one and two see I

hustling over is Batty and he makes the one-hand catch two men away isn’t it in the bylaws of Delvoka Vista phase three that it has to be at least 88 sunny every single day or else you don’t have to

innings against Washington and the Nationals turn the ball over to our buddy I chart zack Brixie spelled B R Z Y KC sure sure whatever you say yeah well it works for us starling Marte takes a Brixie curve for a called strike and it’s nothing and one he is of the Hickory North Carolina brricies out of FA Tech Virginia Tech University the 01 to Marte hit high in the air to straightaway center going back as Hassel still going onto the track reaches up jumps and had it on his glove but it cars off his glove rolls back onto the outfield grass and Marte is standing in second with a double it looked for all the world as though Hassel would make that catch but the ball kept carrying hassel just kept drifting as opposed to getting to the spot and by the time he got to the wall he reached up hit it hard the ball fell below him i don’t think it ever touched this glove looking at the replay if anything maybe it touched one of the laces but it’s a double for Marte to lead off here in the bottom of the eighth yeah it wasn’t going to go out it hit the orange tape kind of hit straight and then came down but Hassel Yeah he figured maybe get get back quicker i think he just didn’t realize that Marte hit it that well well here’s Batty who’s one for three and Brixie’s first hit as Paul fouled straight back nothing to one scoreboard update brought to you by Food Bizaarre Supermarket shop local Eat Global you’ve been dying to find out what’s happening in Minnesota where the Rangers lead the Twins 13-3 in the top of the seventh rangers have hit three home runs in that game and the Giants who have won seven in a row look for number eight in Denver it’s at the bottom of the first inning at Kors Field where it could be 40° or it could be 88° never know day to day and the count’s 0 and one here on Batty giants have been surprisingly good here’s the 01 upstairs to Brett one ball and one strike we’re leaving the hotel that first game in Denver and you can walk to the park from where we stay and Pat looks at me he goes “You’re going to bring a coat.” I go “What are you talking about?” He goes “It’s going to be 50.” What do you mean it’s going to be 50 in Denver it was 50 then 60 then 80 by the time the series was up we had seen it all almost like Sangga pitching with that the temperature changing speeds i don’t know how anybody could travel to Denver without simply taking their clos entire closet with them you look at the three game times or pardon me the three game time temperatures last week in Denver i mean this is weather education day work with us the 1-1 Marte trying to steal third pitch taken high throw to third out at third base great tag made by Tena if this call stands as he had to reach up to grab the throw and snatch that tag down on Marte who starts jogging back to the dugout i’m not sure if he got shaken up on that slide either but he appears to be out two to five and that’s the first out here in the bottom of the eighth we’ve seen the Mets again they take these big leads antoine Richardson getting aggressive and you know you don’t want to make the first out at third base but Marte thought he had it just a great tag great throw marte got tagged right on the helmet yep oh two and one to Batty the pitch breaking ball in for a call strike and it is two and two to Batty with now one out nobody on here in the bottom of the eighth and the Mets leading the Nationals four to nothing ryan Stannic is throwing in the Mets bullpen getting ready for the ninth here’s the 2-2 foul back to the screen anyway those three games in Denver game time temperatures Friday night 54° Saturday night when it started an hour later than Friday did 81° sunday in the afternoon 67° they should just call that place civil two and two the pitch to Batty weighing in a foul back to the screen i wouldn’t last 5 minutes if somebody told me I had to live in Denver long sleeve short sleeve i don’t know what’s going on with the papayas that’s how it felt out there for three days oh man and they say the people people who champion the Denver weather say they get more sunny days than any other place in the country i ain’t buying it two two to Batty fouled back to the screen but when those clouds roll in they come in thundering i mean we’ve had last year it snowed for a couple innings before they stopped the game for a moment i think it was like a six-minute delay everyone left the field no tarp ran back on you just you look west you see it coming you have no idea how severe it’s going to be two and two to Batty Mitch upstairs ball three he had a game in there you know around 2011 2012 they knew the snow was coming because it was all over the forecast the day before the Mets and Rockies were scheduled to play that night well it snowed field wasn’t properly covered yada yada yada payoff pitch to Batty rolled to the shortstop hole backhanded by Abrams moving to his right his throw to first is low and literally off the glove of low rolled softly in the foul ground and Batty will be aboard probably a throwing error on CJ Abrams yeah maybe two or three steps to his right stop backhand and for him this is a makeable play certainly a makeable throw he just uh shorted it and Low did what he could but it ran right up his arm off of his palm and high into the sky to get Batty on base gold love first baseman too with Nathaniel Low so the error on Abrams and now Tyrone Taylor will bat with Batty at first four nothing Mets first pitch fast ball high ball one never forget the site the next day Sandy Alderson the Mets general manager was part of a group that were actually shoveling snow off the field in Denver a whole crew of them partner at the time Josh Leuen had a great line one to Taylor taking high ball two he called the the crew out there that were shoveling 6 in of partly cloudy off the field the Rocky Mountain Stooges [Laughter] i love that one i mean they knew it was coming of course it was July the two to pass ball missed outside ball three digest it was not July i think it was May late April or May whatever the reason baseball didn’t move to or expand to Denver until when they did in what 93 0 on the way in for a called strike three and one all of the relocations and expansions went to other cities nothing nothing wrong with the fan support the Rockies get we’re the worst team in history this year but people are still coming out here’s the 3-1 swing on a fly ball to left field not terribly deep backing up though is Wood he makes the one-hand catch two men away batty back to first mets leading four to nothing and Francisco Alvarez will be next calling all superheroes we need you for Playball weekend tomorrow through Sunday June 15th your mission is to step up to the plate whether it’s your favorite ballpark or in your own backyard learn more at playball.org/we alvarez 0o for two of the walk it’s about hit the Nationals 7 to3 lead four to nothing and the first pitch curve makes the outside corner for a call strike one stannic getting ready the Nationals will have the top of their order abrams Wood and Garcia do up in the ninth stanic looking for a little retribution cuz he lost a couple of games edwin Diaz wasn’t available pitching against the Nationals in Washington he split four games back in late April stannic he wants Adam oh and one to Alvarez the pitch Batty run swing and a miss throw by Ruiz not nearly in time batty with a head first slide does stay on the bag or does he what are they calling batters interference here here i think they may send Batty back to first i think they’re going to contend that Alvarez leaned out over the plate unless there was he would be out yeah unless there’s a different kind of violation here but they’re sending Batty back to first base maybe Ruiz hit the umpire well that’s umpire’s interference we haven’t seen a slow-mo yet wasn’t egregious enough to kind of pick it up on first try let’s see here it’s one thing if a throw would have hit the runner alvarez hit him with his back swing yeah and I think that’s what they’ve called the 02 on the way swung on and missed strike three so Alvarez down on strikes and that retires the side so no runs one hit one error one left and at the end of eight it’s the Mets four the Nationals nothing on Odyssey Mets radio powered by the allnew Nissan Kicks are you moving with dry AMD if so

me that’s 1800 alarm me we go to the ninth inning mets lead the nationals four to nothing ryan Stannic takes over on the mound for the Mets and on that play where Batty apparently had stolen second but was sent back to first there were two kinds of interference that a hitter can be called for one of which was when there was the incidental contact as we saw of Alvarez’s back swing hitting Ruiz and somewhat impeding his ability to get a good throw off the second the other would be of the more intentional type when that hitter leans out over the plate and the catcher either has to throw around or just can’t get the throw off that’s when they call the batter out but in any event Batty went back to first alvarez struck out so now it’s Static who will try and close it out against the top of the Washington batting order starting with CJ Abrams left-hand hitter and the first pitch breaking ball he holds his swing and the count one and O to Abrams who has fouled out to first struck out and grounded to first again we’re waiting for more word on the injury to Kodi Singa the one to Abrams outside a fast ball two already i think the Mets are getting Edwin Diaz loose in the bullpen but anyway don’t forget to stay tuned after the game for the Verizon Mets postgame show 200 pitch foul back to the screen a fast ball it’s two and one for the latest deals drop into your local Verizon store stanic now the fourth pitcher that the Mets have used sango went five and two/3 before apparently injuring his hamstring but Diaz is up two and one to Abrams now the pitch way outside ball three or static his 27th appearance two and four with a 3.22 ERA and again two of those losses came against the Nationals in Washington 3-1 pitch swing and a miss at a fast ball he dials it up that’s at 98 and a full count now on Abrams batty at third backing up he’s a mile off the line he gets the left-hand hitter here’s payoff pitch swinging a liner up the middle a base hit going into center field for Abrams so Taylor plays it in and the Nationals needing base runners down four get the leadoff man on and the dangerous James Wood coming to the plate this copyrighted broadcast is presented by authority of the New York Mets and may not be reproduced or retransmitted in any form the accounts and descriptions of this game may not be disseminated without the express written consent of the New York Mets you know that Carlos Mendoza won’t wait long here to bring Diaz in if Wood for instance were to reach safely here without Abrams being put out on a force or in some other manner then a safe situation would be in effect first pitch to Woods and a miss at a slider nothing at one that would take place because at that point the tying run would move into the on deck circle let’s say there were first and second no out and the three hitter and the fourth hitter would be potentially the tying man the 01 slider or sweeper missed one ball and one strike missing outside to Wood is two out of three today and then you have the three batter rule too is so static we’ll have to see at least Garcia but and Diaz is there as an insurance policy one-1 pitch fast ball fouled straight back one and two i don’t know that there was a manager in baseball who liked maybe even to this day likes the three batter rule but you know it sure has saved a lot of back and forth i remember when guess we were in the September when both bullpens were stock dusty Baker when he was managing the Nationals used six pitchers in an eight batter span one two to Wood just off the outside corner the split and it’s two and two i do know as well though there you know sometimes when you have your reliever up right away with a reliever that you just put into the game try to finish it sometimes relievers don’t love that knowing that do you have much faith in me two and two now the pitch swing on a liner to right field that’s a base hit hitting second going to third easily is Abrams sodto’s throw comes into second so here we go runners at first and third nobody out stannic will have to face Garcia low on deck becomes the potential tying run and you got to figure that unless Stannic gets a double play ball right here you’ll probably see Diaz come into the game it’s amazing that this team has been kind of the white whale for Ryan Stannic leads most of the time that he’s seen these guys and just having trouble finding outs four to nothing New York but that starts to shrink as Garcia 0 for three then low and then Josh Bell who’s a power hitter infield back at double play depth except for Batty even with a bag at first and the first pitch fouled third base side out of play nothing and one a 100m hour fastball so 88° now it’s getting sticky because the Nationals have two on nobody out for the Mets leading four to nothing in the ninth the 01 pitch at the knees a split and it’s 0 and two to Garcia diaz never needs a whole lot of time to get ready anyway so we’ll see what Carlos does after Garcia panic checking the runners brings the hands together here’s the O2 pitch swinging on a foul back to the screen he might have gone for a pitch out of the strike zone there it was up and away at 100 m an hour putting the Garcia too close to take but he did fight it off outfield straight away lindor shaded way over towards the second base bag against the left-hand batter stannic ready the O2 way outside with a split one and two remember the guy on deck has excellent power daniel Low has a home run in this series stanic ready here’s the one two outside with a split two and two you get the feeling 16 pitches in seven of which have been out of the strike zone having allowed two hits no outs yet this Stanic’s last batter two and two to Garcia here’s the pitch swinging a ground to first under the glove of a diving Alonzo and into right field for a base hit abrams scores wood goes to third on at first with a single and a run batted in is Garcia and now it’s a game it’s the Mets four the Nationals won and immediately Carlos Mendoza hops out of the dugout he’s going to go to Diaz who’s going to have to face the tying run with nobody out and this pitching change is sponsored by

where the Mets now in a bit of a pickle they led four to nothing it was easy peasy going to the ninth brian Static gave up three straight hits so that’s produced one run runners are at the corners with nobody out and power hitting Nathaniel Low a left-hand hitter will be the tying run at the plate listen to Meet at the Apple the Mets official podcast presented by PC Richard and Son join hosts Veto Khesi and Jonathan Baron for exclusive access to the Mets plus regular interviews with manager Carlos Mendoza subscribe on Apple Spotify and the Mets YouTube channel here it goes now blow just 0 for one against Diaz first pitch down and in ball one and although Diaz has been asked to get some four and even five out saves before he is generally asked to come into a game to begin the ninth inning here he inherits two runners the 10 take it low two and nothing josh Bell on deck he’s got power wood at third garcia at first nobody out nationals now with six hits bets lead is four to one 200 pitch down and in ball three the Diaz misses with 96 there and the Nationals that close to loading them up with nobody out with a run already in oh Diaz from the first base side of the rubber brings the hands together three 0 pitch low ball four he missed with a slider and the bases are loaded with nobody out and Josh Bell coming up remember last year when Edwin Diaz was going through it in Miami josh Bell took him deep to basically win the game for the Marlins that was the day after edwin Diaz was in tears at his locker and he’s come such a long way since then but here’s Bell to face him and running at first base the speedy Jacob Young for Nathaniel Low pinch runner at first yeah and that is the tying run at first base that home run that you referenced from Dell the only hit that he has in eight at bats against Diaz first pitch low ball one diaz missing down and in at 97 so it has gotten awfully complicated here in what appeared to be a pretty simple one for the Mets the 10 is outside ball two and Diaz has thrown six in a row out of the strike zone and the Mets are in some trouble here now in the ninth inning a dangerous hitter the two Odell outside ball three nowhere to put him seven in a row out of the strike zone delivered by Diaz the Edwin’s got to figure it out here he brings the hands together the three 0 pitch on the outside corner at the knees the sarcastic round of applause greets strike one lo for his last 14 including three today here’s the 3-1 pitch swinging a liner towards third that slices foul off the protective netting behind the tarp now it’s a full count on Josh Bell might have been an inch or two off the plate i think Diaz got Bella to stretch the zone a little bit there that was almost ball four runners lead from all three bases here’s the payoff pitch swinging a hard hit grounder left center that’s a base hit wood scores garcia will be held at third everybody moves up a base garcia Young and now Bill at first represents the bases loaded it is 4 to2 New York and still nobody out there comes Jeremy Hefner out of the mound from the Met dugout it’s just weird right ryan Stannic four-run lead starts diaz is already up kind of feels something’s going to happen here and Stan’s giving up single single single and Diaz having trouble throwing strikes thrown right in i mean this is all Mets the whole day until Sanga got hurt the Mets kind of hung in there did their thing and now this ninth inning just has a strange feel to it and now Washington will go back to their bench again getting Josh Bell out of there at first base and bringing in Ahmed Rosario as a pitch runner i’ll tell you what I I don’t have a statistic on this and I don’t know that one can even be found but the Mets seemingly have lost more big leads in games that they end up losing to the Washington Nationals than maybe any other team in the league first pitch to Alex Cole this is inside ball one most of them seem to have come in washington but now the Nationals have cut the Mets lead to four to two the bases are loaded nobody out and Diaz with a 1 missed outside with a slider ball too how do you stop the snowball it’s rolling hard and the Mets have not had an answer here diaz behind two and0 the pitch to call on the inside corner a fast ball that he thought was up and in but it’s a strike and it’s two and one and if Diaz ever needed a ground ball that the Mets could turn to with this would be the time two and one the outfield around towards right the pitch swinging a high fly ball to shallow center charging in Taylor going back aunia akunia makes the catch they put the infield fly rule on and so the runners hold one big out now that ground ball to an infielder would really be sweet sometimes that’s all you need if you’re Edwin Diaz just one pitch one swing and miss one little pop out to rebuild that confidence get back in the right lane and do your thing left hand hitting Jose Tenia the better he is 0 for two with a walk garcia’s at third Young at second Rosario at first first pitch in for a call strike the slider nothing at one that’s leading the Nationals four-2 batty drops back a step at third off the line the outfield straightaway here’s the 01 pitch swing and a miss but the ball goes to the back stop alvarez picks it up but by the time he does Garcia scores from third young goes to second or to third rousario to second and the Mets lead is now four to three and the Nationals have second and third one out uh what’ll probably be a wild pitch who was in the dirt alvarez reached on his backhand didn’t come up with it kind of bumped into the umpire on his way back too but Garcia just read it right scampered home so 0 and two the count the pitch on the ground to second akuna’s up with it holds the runners throws to first in time two men away big out there there was the ground ball that Diaz was looking for but it doesn’t solve anything yet because the Nationals are still in business here the tying run is Young at third brasario the go-ahead run at second two men away and Hbert Ruiz coming up he is 0 for three today the Mets for the Nationals three two out top nine first pitch swinging a bouncing ball to first alonzo’s got it behind the bench takes it to first put up the books the Mets survive they were forced to sweat on an 88 degree day to begin with but they didn’t envision sweating as much as they did when it was rolling down their cheeks in the ninth inning but they hold on and complete the series sweep and the Mets have won six in a row in the ninth inning for Washington three runs four hits no errors two left the final score the New York Mets 4 the Washington Nationals 3 back to talk about it in a moment on Odyssey Mets radio powered by the allnew Nissan
