00:00Of course, the Met Bats, you know, they had guys on base all night.

00:08They just couldn't get that hit to bust things open.

00:12Mendoza does expect that his hitters will bounce back tonight.

00:15Well, we're facing Yamamoto, as far as I know, right?

00:18I think they announced it.

00:19And when you look at his numbers, he's split and he's pretty much reversed.

00:22He's been a lot better against lefty.

00:23So I would anticipate our righties to be in the lineup tomorrow.

00:27So the guys that are in there got us to this point, you know, and I'm pretty confident

00:32that they'll come through, you know, and yeah, you're playing playoff and when you're facing

00:37a pitching staff like that, it's going to be, it's going to be hard at times.

00:40We're creating traffic, you know, I like the fact that, you know, we're getting guys on

00:44base just haven't been able to come up with a big hit, but I'll continue to take my chances

00:50with our guys here.

00:51And as long as we continue to create traffic, somebody is going to come up and get the big

00:57one for us.

00:58I'll give you this.

00:59Uh, game one, they got smoked and then game two, they came out swinging and they scored

01:04six runs before you could spit.

01:07So they better get that formula going again tonight because you know, same thing.

01:14They got, it's all on the line tonight.

01:16They have to score.

01:18They cannot leave that many guys on base, not only score, they got to win.

01:23And, uh, they're going up against a tough customer that can pitch.

01:28So they got their hands full tonight.

01:30I don't know how they're going to do it, to be honest with you against this guy and they

01:33got to get him out.

01:36They got to get him out of the game.

01:37They cannot let that guy come out and dominate for four or five innings or they're dead.
