It seems that they always win when I am not able to watch the game. The Mets did exactly what they needed to do by sweeping the lowly Rockies. Now they are off to the West Coast to play four games with the Dodgers where we should always hope for a split and then three more games with the Rockies where another sweep would certainly not be out of the question. A sweep this coming week against the Rockies, which certainly be what the doctor ordered because when they return from the West Coast, they have a combination of home and away games against them very strong teams. This will be the stretch that will help define who exactly they are. Another fine outing by Holmes and and when I looked at the update on my ESPN app, I thought also that with just 85 pictures he might go out for the next inning. Happy the relievers shut them down.
Gut Reaction: if you are a fan of small ball then the Rockies series wasn't for you. There were home runs galore. Holmes had length and Garrett and Diaz followed up with domination.
Everyone has to play their schedule, so we shouldn’t take wins for granted. Beating the teams “you’re supposed to beat”, is part of a successful season. The Phillies this week got swept at home by Milwaukee, won 2/3 against Atlanta, but lost against West Sacramento. So, they were 2-5 this week and now the Mets are in first place!!! There isn’t any shame in that and while the Dodgers just beat the Yankees 18-2 yesterday, it was just one game and they split the other two.
I agree that the Mets are a good team and I wouldn’t be surprised if they took three of four in Los Angeles. I agree that the right guys are getting hot and if they can stay hot, the Mets will win alot of games no matter the opponent. And I believe, on Friday morning we may be looking at the Mets as the best team in baseball right now.

This is a good team. If Soto,Vientos and Alvarez start to hit this is a very good team.
Soto about to go on a massive heater and Diaz is in full 22 mode. Lovely weekend!
