00:00Let's go to one of the hottest teams in the bigs since the end of May, since the end of

00:07June, since the end of July, since the end of August.

00:10It's the New York Mets.

00:11A sweep, as New York should, in what on paper is its final easy series of the season against

00:19the Washington Nationals last night.

00:21Jose Quintana has been sensational, more than 23 innings of shutout baseball as of late,

00:29a career-best streak, and you saw it there.

00:31The Mets played 10 last night to blank the Nats on the other side, 10-zip, nine of those

00:38runs coming in the fourth, capped off with a three-run home run from Brandon Nimmo.

00:42So the New York Mets, the R.S. now 12-4 in the month of September.

00:47The Amazons have won five of their last seven.

00:49New York has really been the best team in baseball since the end of May.

00:53And I'll tell you, D.J.

00:54Herz, over the past 60 days, one of the better pitchers in Major League Baseball ERA-wise,

00:57had a solid X-fifth number, so you figure this game possibly could stay under the total.

01:01And it should have, if one team scored zero runs, but the New York Mets are absolutely

01:05on it.

01:06And they blasted D.J.

01:07Herz.

01:08Three-and-a-third innings pitch, seven earned runs, three walks there, raises his ERA all

01:11the way up now to 4.30.

01:14The Mets just continue to stay hot at the right time, and quite frankly, we're sitting

01:18here September 19th.

01:19The playoffs are going to start in early October if the Mets continue at this pace, and they're

01:23going to get a hold of Tyjuan Walker tonight of the Philadelphia Phillies that has had

01:27his struggles over the past couple of months in Major League Baseball since coming back

01:30from the IELTS.

01:31Those bats stay hot.

01:32You never know.

01:33It's the perfect scenario.

01:34It's getting hot at the right time and staying hot through the first couple of rounds of

01:37the playoffs.

01:38And right now, the Mets look like they're on that trajectory.
