00:00Each and every game for those in the hunt for October has some

00:08sort of playoff ramification that of course the case

00:11yesterday up in the six in the rubber match between the Mets

00:15and the Blue Jays. Bowden Francis who is named after Bobby

00:20Bowden and his father a big Florida State fan just to

00:24confirm in two of his last four starts DRS has entered the

00:28ninth inning writing a no no a no hit bid. He has been great

00:34since the start of August as we will share in eight starts. He

00:39is only allowed eight total earned runs including just one

00:43yesterday as he took the no hit bid into the top of the ninth

00:46Francisco Lindor at the dish hits a solo shot against

00:50Francis. So then he is taken out of the game from then on the

00:54New York Mets in a tied baseball game at one all in the top of

00:58the ninth score five more runs including a three run home run

01:02off the bat of Francisco Alvarez and the New York Mets

01:05win six to two scoring all six runs in the ninth after not

01:10recording a single hit in the first eight frames. Yeah. I

01:15wonder how analytics actually like that game from Bowden

01:18Francis. The reason I bring that up we very rarely see this.

01:20He's going into the ninth inning with a no hitter Ben.

01:22He's got one strikeout which means the ball was in play

01:25constantly throughout the night because he only had one

01:27walk here. That's incredible. Like that bat bit rate that he

01:31has batting average of balls in play. That's astoundingly good

01:34and quite frankly extremely lucky. But also if you are the

01:38Mets love to see the fight back you're beaten down for

01:41eight innings here in a game you absolutely must win to hang

01:44around in that wild card race and in the ninth inning it's

01:47like hey man this guy's coming out of here again. We haven't

01:48touched him all night and then you get six total runs to win

01:52six to two. That is an impressive performance because

01:54all if you're on just social media you're saying hey this

01:57guy's got a no hitter going to go out. They're going to win

01:58one nothing. And then if you just flash back in a couple

02:01minutes and saw the Mets scored six times on a guy that had a

02:04no hitter into the ninth. Now granted he only had the one

02:06earned run got knocked out of the game but the bullpen

02:08completely fell through. That is a great win for the New York

02:11Mets in one of those games where you're just throwing in

02:13the towel saying nothing is working here and let alone you

02:15score six runs. And as I pointed out on the opening how

02:19could you have this in the top of the ninth inning with a guy

02:21throwing a no hitter in a one to nothing game lose in nine

02:25innings not even in extras. You're total. That's got to be

02:28one of the worst beats I've ever seen.
