00:00Mike, I'm starting to worry about the Mets, uh, even though they have a half game lead

00:08over Arizona, it's tenuous at best when you're playing, uh, the final weekend in Atlanta

00:16against the Braves who are desperate to get in and, uh, they're starting to look like

00:20they will get in and I, and you know, the deal we've been talking about, it is pouring

00:25in Atlanta this evening and it's going to rain all night.

00:29They're not, if they get that game in, I can't wait to see it because it looks like

00:33this glob of hurricane pre-drip, you know, before the thing hits these bands.

00:40I mean, they are getting clobbered down there right now and anything could happen.

00:45But if I'm the Mets, I'm very worried about this team they're playing can beat them in

00:49Atlanta.

00:50Yeah.

00:51Uh, look, it's very difficult, uh, especially with what happened last night.

00:55Look, we've kind of said this earlier, I don't see any way they're going to play tonight

00:59or tomorrow.

01:00Now, look, if the Mets took two out of three this week, let's say they don't play these

01:05games and the Mets take two out of three in Milwaukee and the Braves lose two out of three

01:09to the Royals this weekend, uh, the Mets would be in, they wouldn't have to worry about this,

01:14but they might still get dragged to Atlanta because it depends on what happens with Arizona.

01:19So there's a lot of moving parts, uh, with all of these weather situations that are going

01:22to go on.

01:23So here's one thing for the Mets last night, Scotty, two bad things.

01:26They couldn't hit Spencer Schwellenbach and they had big problems with Michael Harris

01:30the second on, uh, Valley Sports Out.

01:32Out to left field, pretty deep.

01:33That's going to keep going and it's going to get out of here.

01:34Michael Harris, a single, a double, and now a homer.

01:35And it's only the fourth inning.

01:36He is in an absolute zone right now.

01:49Well there you have it.

01:51Uh, and, uh, you know, you look at, uh, these teams, they're a half game out.

01:55You just have this feeling, right?

01:57Because Arizona's five and five in their last 10, they've lost three in a row.

02:02Meanwhile, uh, the Braves are, you know, picking up the first game.

02:06You know, if they win tonight, that series is over.

02:09They will win the series and that'll be that.

02:12And I don't think the Mets can afford that, but they're, you know, they're still sitting.

02:17It would seem comfortably numb a half game up on that third wildcard, but that's, you

02:22know, that's lose a game and the other team wins a game and you're done.

02:26Yeah.

02:27Look, I think the Mets are going to get in and I think it's going to be, I think they're

02:32going to get helped here.

02:34I think it's going to help them that they're not playing these games the next couple of

02:37days.

02:38Potentially.

02:39I know that's not official yet because here's why, Scotty, think about this.

02:42If they do, they're not going to see sale and they're not going to see freed.

02:46The Braves are going to have to pitch those guys Friday and Saturday against the Royals

02:49because they need to stay.

02:50They need to make sure they get to Monday.

02:52So they're going to pitch sale and freed in those games and the Mets will miss sale Monday

02:56in the double header, which I think helps them in a big way.

03:00If it gets to that.
