00:00Of course, they win 7-2.

00:05We were on for this, but this got the Mets started.

00:09Pete Alonso, who's starting to hit some homerscotty, and they're all going opposite field, a little

00:14oppo taco for the Polar Bear on Mets Radio 880.

00:19He's had success against Nola before.

00:21First pitch on the way.

00:22And high in the air to right field, pretty deep.

00:23Castellanos back at the track, at the wall, and it's gone!

00:24He hit it off the facing of the second deck, the Coca-Cola corner, another opposite field

00:35homerun for Pete Alonso, the Mets are leading by a score of 1-0.

00:41How he thought it was down in the first row, it was up the upper deck, off the facade.

00:46It was a bomb, and so was Winkers.

00:49Yeah, the Wink man, he really tore into one.

00:54Unfortunately, the call for the Wink man homer was not as good.

00:58Howie wasn't on the call for the Wink man homer, so not as good there for the Mets Radio yesterday.

01:04What an outing for Sean Mania, who pitched into the 8th inning, Scotty, and then of course

01:09said afterwards that his ant had passed away earlier in the day.

01:13Really, we haven't seen many pitchers go deep in these playoff games, honestly.

01:17What Mania did for the Mets yesterday, also considering how much they've used their pen

01:22over the last two weeks, that was much needed.

01:25What a performance by him.

01:28He was incredible.

01:29I thought the difference for him is really that arm angle he throws at.

01:35It's just baffling to left-handed hitters.

01:38They have no chance against him.

01:39I thought he made Harper look pathetic.

01:42I've never seen Sean Mania look better in a baseball outing, to be honest with you.

01:46He was totally dominant.

01:49Totally dominant indeed.

01:50Of course, the Mets have a chance to move on today.

01:53Carlos Mendoza, the Met manager, says we still have a lot of work to do.

01:58We got to keep the foot down.

02:00Obviously, it'll be special, but we got to come back tomorrow and we got to win a baseball

02:05game.

02:06If we would have lost today, the mentality, we need to come back tomorrow and win a baseball

02:09game.

02:10One day at a time mentality, one series at a time.

02:13We'll come back tomorrow.

02:15We got to stay humble.

02:16We haven't done anything.

02:17We got to come back tomorrow.

02:18We have to prepare.

02:19We got to go up the way we go about our business pre-game and then we got to go out there.

02:23We got to compete and we got to go out there and execute, so we'll see what happens.

02:28I really think, Mike, I don't know about you, I'd love to hear your thoughts, that this

02:34is huge tonight for them.

02:36This is dinner is served.

02:39You have a chance to eliminate the Phillies, who everyone thought was going to the pennant

02:44to face the Dodgers, and some people think the Phillies are better than the Dodgers because

02:50they have better pitching.

02:51Flat out, starting and bullpen, no questions asked.

02:54The Dodgers' weakness is their pitching.

02:57And it's a problem again tonight with Knack going.

03:00Nobody believes in that kid.

03:02Nobody knows that kid.

03:03So you have a chance tonight with the left-hander in Quintana who has been brilliant and he's

03:08just giving up nothing.

03:09He's not even giving up a run a game.

03:12So if he pitches remotely close to what he's been over the last month, he's going to be

03:17a real problem for the Phillies.

03:19You've got to win this game because you're going to go back to Philly and face Wheeler

03:24and you're not scoring runs against Zach Wheeler.

03:27He's going to dominate you for seven innings and you're going to be forced to do what you

03:32did in game one, which was hit five runs in one inning in the eighth inning to beat him.

03:38And that's how they did it.

03:40They stunned him because everyone and their brother thought that they were winning that

03:43game that Wheeler left won nothing.

03:47Facing Wheeler tomorrow or whatever, I think it would be Friday, I think spells doom for

03:55the match.

03:56They got to win today.
