Happy birthday, Tylor! 🥳

The emergence of Mark Vientos as a star this season — and especially this postseason — has been vital for the Mets’ present and future. He’s going to hit in the middle of this lineup for a long time. Huge player-development win. And a tie game in Queens.

Shane Baz: "The only reason I'm not going to talk about that play is because I will get fined” Gunnar Henderson: "I'm not gonna chase him into RF when I'm trying to turn a double play” Hunter Wendelstedt: "It was actually a very gentlemanly thing to do”

Can’t knock the effort on the dive from Melendez, but initially a 90% catch probability on this ball from Statcast. Poor read/jump but a great recovery, not necessarily “as fine a play as you’re going to see from an outfielder” as the broadcast suggests.

So much better than the sledge hammer

"Going back and watching it, those were very winnable games. The next two are very winnable games, too." - Stephon Castle

"We feel like we gave them that game, self-inflicted mistakes. Throughout the game, we gave them life in areas where we could've taken a lead." - Stephon Castle on Game 2
