00:004-3, another lead blown for the Mets.
00:02It feels like, Joe, every game they lead, every game they just give it away,
00:06and every game they lose here.
00:08They can't catch the Philadelphia Phillies, even if the Phillies are struggling,
00:10because why?
00:11The Mets can't get out of their own way.
00:134-3 victory for the Braves, who might have an advantage down the stretch
00:17with getting some players back and playing spoiler.
00:19But, boy, they're spoiling the Mets right now.
00:22I mean, now they have lost 13 of their last 15 games,
00:27and that lead over the Reds now is basically a half a game.
00:33And they got nobody to blame but themselves here.
00:37I mean, the idea that you allowed Bryce Elder to go out there
00:42and throw seven innings of five hit ball and giving up two earned runs is on you, Mets.
00:48I don't know what else to tell you here is that you should have been all over Bryce Elder here.
00:55There is no excuse whatsoever to let a guy that has an 8 ERA over his last nine starts,
01:03giving up 66 hits, nine home runs.
01:07The guy is barely, shouldn't even be in Major League Baseball.
01:10You hit Carrasco the night before, who also shouldn't be a Major League Baseball pitcher,
01:16and then you gave yourself an opportunity to lose a game that shouldn't have been close again last night.
01:21And when, Donnie, you've lost 13 of 15, that's what happens.
01:26Close games don't tend to go your way anytime soon, and that's the problem for the Mets.
01:33Sometimes it's just about getting off to a good start, which the Mets seem to do,
01:36because if you blow leads, that means you have the lead in the game.
01:39You should be able to hold on to it.
01:40But even last night, sometimes you can see it.
01:42Like, Pete Alonso's up two men on.
01:43I think it was one outgrounds into a double play, so the Mets don't score any in the first inning.
01:47Which, again, you put up four or five runs early, that usually gives you a win.
01:51But then you go, Donnie, it's the Mets.
01:53Did you watch the night before?
01:54They put up a six spot, six to nothing, and they got 11 runs scored on them unanswered from the Atlanta Braves,
02:01which was phenomenal.
02:02We'll see where the Mets go today, but my goodness.
02:04Sometimes you just got to wake up and say, today's a new day, and we'll be able to get after it.
02:08How about those Toronto Blue Jays, a 2-1 victory yesterday against the Chicago Cubs in the rubber match.
02:13No PCA in the lineup, no offense in that lineup.
02:15And, by the way, only nine total hits in that game and three total runs scored.
02:19Glad he was all you needed, it felt like, here at the Toronto Blue Jays, a 2-1 victory.
02:23The first place, Toronto Blue Jays.
02:26Yeah, we talked about, yeah, we thought that was going to be quite the pitching battle, right?
02:31Early start there.
02:32Scherzer continues to go seven innings.
02:36I mean, it's like, I think, what, his last three starts or more here,
02:40he has pitched well past the fifth inning, well past the sixth inning, giving his team an opportunity to win.
02:46So, he's actually gotten better as the season has gone on here.
02:51We knew Boyd was going to be tough to hit.
02:54He's always tough to hit, man.
02:56He only allowed two hits in seven innings.
02:58He struck out five, and he walked one.
03:00But, in a close game like that, with the Cubs not even close to the offense they once were a couple of months ago,
03:082-1 to the home team.
03:10Toronto keeps it rolling.
03:12We've all been here before in this game.
03:14Detroit Tigers 4-3 victory in extra innings, in 11 innings, I should say, over the Minnesota Twins.
03:19Minnesota struck early in the third inning.
03:213-0 lead.
03:23End up blowing that.
03:23But, let's just say, Joe, you took a team total against Scooble.
03:26You were probably at around that 3-1-1 plus, like, 125 price, to be honest.
03:32They scored three runs off Scooble in the third.
03:34And, if I told you you're going to go extra innings, which means you're going to get the 10th and 11th inning
03:38with a ghost run on second base, and you don't score, the Tigers hang on.
03:42They came back.
03:43They won here and picked up that victory.
03:45That's now back-to-back starts in which Scooble only struck out, what, two or three guys in seven innings?
03:53In that game yesterday, he got lit up the last start against the Angels.
04:00Could Tariq Scooble be slowing down here a little bit?
04:04That's not great news for the Detroit Tigers at all.
