00:03Ah, there's panic in the streets in Philadelphia right now.

00:06Why is that?

00:07Red October could be coming to an end as early as tonight.

00:10Why?

00:11The New York Mets have a 2-1 series lead over the Philadelphia Phillies,

00:14winning game number one, losing game number two,

00:17holding home field advantage in game number three,

00:19with a 7-2 victory over the Phillies,

00:21which saw a great pitching performance out of Sean Manias.

00:24Seven innings pitched, three hits, one earned run.

00:27Pete Alonso got it started with a solo home run.

00:29A lot of guys chipping in.

00:31Solid contact is winning baseball games here in the NLDS

00:36between the Phillies and the Mets.

00:37And the one thing that the Phillies have an issue with is

00:39when you have runners on base, you have to convert.

00:42They haven't been able to do that.

00:43The Mets take a stranglehold dubsy after a 7-2 victory yesterday.

00:48Capitalized conversion, that's what it's all about.

00:50Pete Alonso, another special performance,

00:52another big home run there off Aaron Noller.

00:55You highlighted Manias.

00:56He was fantastic, especially the endurance they got to see

00:59with him making it through that eighth inning.

01:01So that was a lot of rest for the bullpen.

01:03That's going to absolutely suit him in game four

01:05coming up later here for Wednesday

01:07and trying to close out this series.

01:08But this has been a sign of the times for the Mets, Donnie.

01:11I mean, you can never write off that offense.

01:14Last night, they were feeling it.

01:15They got a really good matchup.

01:17They got to Noller.

01:18And with that, 7-2.

01:20Absolutely, I guess you could say put the cleaners on him.

01:24And that's what we've seen through the series here.

01:25A lot of runs.

01:26A lot of offense.

01:27Overs, overs, overs.

01:28Not combined.

01:29Again, their last night.

01:30So suddenly for the Phillies.

01:31And, you know, Donnie, I thought this was one of the most

01:34well-rounded teams coming in to October.

01:36Just haven't found that spark in the last couple.

01:39Well, they've got a really big spot coming up later this afternoon.

01:42But the Mets were very, very impressive.

01:44And I guess for Pete Alonso, just knowing Noller so well,

01:47having that history.

01:48You know, these are two guys who have come into the league

01:50at the same time.

01:51They squared off a bit in college there as well.

01:53So for Pete Alonso, always showed up.

01:55And we've been seeing him really well there off Noller.

01:58He had the edge.

01:59Got the lean on him again there last night.
