It is great Jake threw so hard but I kind of wish he limited himself to 95 mph in hopes of staying healthy the rest of the season.

We miss the two starters the Reds have left that are well thought off (Mahle and Castillo).  They have two guys scheduled to start with ERAs above 5.00 the first two games of the series, and a guy with an ERA around 4.50 for the third game.

We have Walker, who has been our most consistent starter this year, and has a chance to be an All Star again, then Scherzer then a TBD that presumably will be Bassitt if he gets cleared from the COVID protocols in time.

Nice to gain a game on the Braves.

We still are having issues scoring runs.  Alonso is a mess.  McCann is even worse offensively than he was before he got hurt.  Nimmo is slumping now and hitting a lot of pop ups.

Dom Smith went 2-4.  Marte is hot and Escobar has hit an HR in three games in a row.  Those 2 are now quietly up to 9 HRs each.  Old reliable Jeff McNeil seems to get a hit almost every game.  Hope he stays healthy for a while.

The Syracuse Mets are leading Lehigh Valley 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth before a giant crowd in Syracuse.  Looks like Alvarez is not playing.
