My thoughts exactly. This guy needs to get his shit together.

Beautiful day for baseball again - definitely warmer than yesterday.

Offensively, the Mets just had nothing today. They didn't really hit anything particularly hard. They kept getting guys on, but never really felt like they were threatening to break out.

You know who looked terrible, though, was Dexter Fowler, who looks like his timing is off or something. He clearly struggled.

Note that down by multiple runs in the ninth, Reyes and Rosario both went up there first-pitch swinging.

You've got to take in those situations. Teams that ignore that basic fundamental principle deserve to lose.

Apparently Nimmo was supposed to be in the lineup but was out with the dreaded flu-like symptoms.
