00:00The New York Mets in their 8-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox.

00:06The New York Mets now have improved to 76-64.

00:10The only issue right now with the New York Mets continuing to win, the Phillies continue

00:13to win, and the Atlanta Braves as well, but you still have to keep pace and beat teams

00:17that theoretically are still trying to find themselves in a playoff run.

00:21That's the Boston Red Sox now at 70-70.

00:24We don't think they're going to make the playoffs, but still playing their starters, and they

00:27do have a talented lineup.

00:28If you're taking a look at the game last night, and once again, whether it was on the

00:32early line yesterday or a money line, talking about Halk on the mound here for the Boston

00:37Red Sox, drops to 8-10 on the season.

00:39This was one of those guys that was such a surprise to start the year and was so good

00:43for the Red Sox that we thought when the Red Sox started out slow, Halk was that bright

00:47spot.

00:48So you know what?

00:49If Halk can continue to pitch really well and be the ace of that staff, who knows as

00:52that Boston Red Sox lineup got hot over the summer, but now starting to cool off from

00:56that 8-3 loss yesterday.

00:58Five innings pitched, four earned runs, 84 pitches.

01:01And if you take a look, even though he did get rocked a bit yesterday, you see how well

01:04his season actually was going.

01:06He still only had a 3.24 ERA in the American League, which is pretty solid, but that also

01:11means he had been struggling over the past 60 days, which showed you how good he was

01:15actually to start the season.

01:17Tyler McGill on the mound for the New York Mets kept you in it.

01:19Four innings pitched, three earned runs, but the bullpen is who gave way here for the Red

01:24Sox.

01:25And also, one of those guys in the past that you would have figured is one of the better

01:27closers slash relievers in Major League Baseball, it was Kenley Jansen.

01:31A third of an innings pitched, guys, three, excuse me, four hits, and also four earned

01:36runs.

01:37Wait, let me check that.

01:38One hit, four runs, all four earned, three walks.

01:41You can't do that over 28 pitches and keep your team in the game.

01:45But shout out to the New York Mets once again as we talk about Francisco Lindor.

01:50Expectations for Lindor coming over from the Guardians, sky high for the Mets.

01:53Maybe he wasn't living up to those expectations.

01:55But he's been nothing short of phenomenal for the finer parts of this season.

02:00Beginning of the season, not hitting all that well.

02:02Now up to close to 275 is actually the exact batting average right now, guys, at 274, up

02:06to going 205 last night, being that leadoff catalyst that you love to see.

02:10The New York Mets have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs.

02:13You continue to win baseball games, don't even need the scoreboard watch, handle your

02:17own business because they have multiple games with the Atlanta Braves and also with the

02:21Philadelphia Phillies where they can do damage in head to head and see certainly if they

02:25can hold off teams behind them.
