Thumbs? Way up after yesterday. And winning deserves huge thumbs up.
Maybe….Jake? Will take that rescheduled Sept 28 rainout start? And it’ll be vital? Hey, this is the Mets.
Those HRs by Jaylen Palmer - two big HRs in any ball park but in Brooklyn where the ocean breeze keeps HRs in the park? Wow.
