Mets take Series from ATL + Trade Deadline Looming Large

Meek, uh, another week of 500 ball.

[laughs] Really not much going on there.

Pitchers are looking good, though.

The young kids, the young pitchers are looking good.

McLane's obviously had that bounce back.

He still has, you know, a couple rough spots.

Christian Scott looked good last night, and then obviously Zach Thornton has looked pretty good, uh, ever since he's come up for the second time here.

Uh, Kyle, what's your biggest takeaway from this last week of New York Mets baseball?

I...

You know, they took the series with Philly to open up after the All-Star break, then they were playing Milwaukee, and in the back of my head, I go, "They're just gonna run the table this month and win every series and get some of these assholes back on board."

Yeah.

I, that could not be me.

I...

We're like Odysseus tied to the mast going past the island of the sirens.

They cannot draw us back in at this point, but it is nice to see a manager and a team, certain players who are trying to get out of here, that still have some fight in them.

Uh, it's-

Yeah

...

I have to go back and look at the numbers, but, like, the six-inning performances all of a sudden, now when you don't have Mendoza getting out there every fifth inning, something to be said.

I don't, I, I firmly push these guys as far as you can, especially in a lost season, see what you got out of most of these guys.

Mm-hmm.

And so far they're showing, they're showing life.

Yeah.

Christian Scott, they said he was four pitches per plate appearance in the first inning.

Mm-hmm.
