00:00Let's go to one of the hottest teams in the bigs since the end of May, since the end of
00:07June, since the end of July, since the end of August.
00:10It's the New York Mets.
00:11A sweep, as New York should, in what on paper is its final easy series of the season against
00:19the Washington Nationals last night.
00:21Jose Quintana has been sensational, more than 23 innings of shutout baseball as of late,
00:29a career-best streak, and you saw it there.
00:31The Mets played 10 last night to blank the Nats on the other side, 10-zip, nine of those
00:38runs coming in the fourth, capped off with a three-run home run from Brandon Nimmo.
00:42So the New York Mets, the R.S. now 12-4 in the month of September.
00:47The Amazons have won five of their last seven.
00:49New York has really been the best team in baseball since the end of May.
00:53And I'll tell you, D.J.
00:54Herz, over the past 60 days, one of the better pitchers in Major League Baseball ERA-wise,
00:57had a solid X-fifth number, so you figure this game possibly could stay under the total.
01:01And it should have, if one team scored zero runs, but the New York Mets are absolutely
01:05on it.
01:06And they blasted D.J.
01:07Herz.
01:08Three-and-a-third innings pitch, seven earned runs, three walks there, raises his ERA all
01:11the way up now to 4.30.
01:14The Mets just continue to stay hot at the right time, and quite frankly, we're sitting
01:18here September 19th.
01:19The playoffs are going to start in early October if the Mets continue at this pace, and they're
01:23going to get a hold of Tyjuan Walker tonight of the Philadelphia Phillies that has had
01:27his struggles over the past couple of months in Major League Baseball since coming back
01:30from the IELTS.
01:31Those bats stay hot.
01:32You never know.
01:33It's the perfect scenario.
01:34It's getting hot at the right time and staying hot through the first couple of rounds of
01:37the playoffs.
01:38And right now, the Mets look like they're on that trajectory.
