This back and forth when you dig into the at bats was just time.
And again, the Mets just inconceivably doing things that you could not fathom with the Mets pitching, not executing.
And that's always making the pay.
That is what happened over and over and over, right.
The Phillies were executing and it didn't matter because the Mets are just because the Mets are magical, right?
OMG uh Many OMGS were had during this game and the men's pitching was which has been obviously pushed to the brink here of the guys that they trust and, and it, it kind of squeezing as many outs out of as few pitchers as possible.
It, you're just asking a lot and the execution in these spots, whether it was diaz whether it was Severino as amazing as he was at the end of his outing, it was just not there.
And the Phillies finally, because they are very talented and good, were able to take advantage of when the Mets presented those opportunities that slider mcgill through just backed up not remotely where he wants that pitch to be.
And Nick Castanos, that man is always ready, took full advantage Phillies going wild.
Great moment was Cassiano is running over to Liam his kid, like behind the netting and celebrating with him.
That was really cool and the Phillies escaped.
I mean, just a classic and all time epic.
I'm humbled that I was there for that, that I got to watch it like total mayhem and I can't wait for game three.
I have to say like, as neutrals good.
Right.
I, I think if the Mets win this game, there's no game four, let alone a game five.
And I think that the Phillies evening, this series adds just such a layer of richness to these proceedings.
And I cannot wait for, uh, for game three on, on Tuesday.
