00:03how are you everybody it's tyler ward aka wardy here and we're back out with our latest
00:08straight out of flushing segment talking all things new york mats on the new york post sports
00:12youtube channel and today on this easter sunday we're gonna recap what was an amazing rally of
00:17a victory for the mats securing three out of four games of a serious victory in san fran
00:21against those giants and the clear takeaway was kodai sanga looked brilliant yet again
00:26logan webb was absolutely carving up this mets team and if it wasn't for mark vientos who has been
00:32scorching hot with the bat who was undoubtedly the best hitter and this four game span for the
00:37mats on the road it is the mets coming together late in this ball game after kodai sanga goes 5
00:42.2
00:42brilliant innings allows a pair of runs but does strike out seven gets a swing and miss on the
00:47ghost for kodai looks more of the kodai of old which is great if you're a mets fan and on
00:51top of
00:52it the mets rally late in this ball game as soon as logan webs pulled you see the offense pounce
00:57so
00:57mark vientos had a nice early rbi in this game four matchup against san fran but there was really
01:02nothing else to show for the mets offensively outside of jared young having a three-hit game
01:07looking brilliant as a last minute start there in the corner outfield for brett beatty who was a
01:12last minute scratch with a jammed thumb that he was dealing with he'll be back tuesday according
01:16to carlos mendoza barring changes young not only looked tremendous in left field gunning out
01:20runners at second base making gorgeous sliding grabs and having three hits jared young's best
01:25game as a new york met if you ask me really encourage to see that and more of him this
01:28season but between young and vientos there was really nothing else to show until we got to the
01:33eighth inning and then the eighth inning the mets completely pounced on the giants bullpen in ways
01:37that they would have never done so and at all in the second half of 2025 a mets team that
01:41would
01:41typically roll over and die produce nothing offensively quite the contrary as they would most certainly
01:46pounce in this eighth inning it starts with a jorge polanco double his third of the year
01:50he would then be pinch ran that we would see there for yes you guessed it mr tyrone taylor coming
01:55off
01:55of a big game in this series not as a starter but coming off the bench we saw tyrone taylor
02:00just look
02:01absolutely tremendous with three run home running and an rbi in that same game he already has more rbis
02:06than pete alonzo this year which is kind of crazy to say but what's even crazier is the fact that
02:11as soon
02:11as again logan webb exits this ball game it's to the mets benefit because you would see there after
02:16the pinch runner and tyrone taylor comes in after tt comes in you see luis terrens then come in after
02:22a luis robert get on with an opposite field single robert had three hits in this series finale after
02:28getting the off day looked fantastic two stolen bags for his first and second as a new york met
02:32including a second stolen base that he had no business getting there in time it looked like he was
02:37out by a mile but when you see a different vantage point side by side what arise at second base
02:42you
02:42could tell that robert purposely ran as far away from a rise to the right side as he could to
02:47slide
02:47into that bag and he got in there comfortably so robert awesome with the base running and with his
02:52contact ability in this matchup wasn't a liability defensively which is always an encouraging sign
02:56and then you have same table for luis terrens okay initially you're thinking jared young is going to
03:01face a southpaw as the giants bring in a lefty reliever instead the mets take their last bench
03:07piece batting from the right side that being luis terrens and terrens does what he has consistently
03:11done since being traded by the new york yankees to the mets for just a hundred thousand dollars
03:16one of the most lopsided deals in recent mlb history is not an exaggeration luis terrens is
03:21one of the most consistent and quality not only clutch hitters we've seen in years for the mets but
03:25also just as a backup catcher he does all the little things right and terrens goes opposite field
03:30of driving a pair the mets go from being down two to one and taking a three to two lead
03:34and then
03:34bad fundamentals from matt chapman playing deep at third he had a terrible series for the giants i
03:39liked nothing from what chapman did offensively or defensively left quite a bit to be desired
03:43he has a deep throw to rafael devers who is a liability at first can't make the scoop another
03:48run comes into score it's four to two mets and then it's five to two as marcus simian who had
03:52his
03:53best game as a new york met in this series with a dead center home run a three hit game
03:57three if not
03:57four rbis on the day a couple days ago we see simian put his second double of the year into
04:02the corner
04:03that drives in another run and the mets are up five to two and would go on to win this
04:06game
04:07by a final score of five to two so when you have kodai singa doing his thing when you have
04:11the
04:11bullpen getting the job done comfortably without problem including guys like luke weaver like
04:16kawasuka brasman and even though he threw 20 plus pitches it didn't matter and devon williams
04:20pairing that with a mets offense that since juan soto went down with injury a couple games ago
04:25they've scored 24 runs for okay the mets have collected north of 40 hits over the past 72 hours
04:31they have been on an absolute hit spree against a giant scene that looks completely out of sync to
04:35begin the season with their new young exciting manager and tony vitello we'll see what happens
04:40more with him as he was actually exited from this ball game due to a argument there with the umpire
04:46and for the mets they again took complete advantage another day for the mets clutch up going six for 15
04:51with runners in scoring position this is the second game this series of the mets had at least six hits
04:56with runners in scoring position that is going to lead to great success regardless as to where you're at in
05:00the game for the mets to do this once webb was out shows you again the resiliency of a new
05:05york
05:05mets team that's going to beat you maybe not early but they're going to beat you often if that means
05:09it's going to happen later in the ball game once you get to the bullpen so be it webb was
05:13brilliant
05:13he did his job on this easter sunday unfortunately for the rest of the giants they were not able to
05:18get
05:18the job done offensively and for that bullpen they most certainly cannot get the job done against a young
05:23hungry very you could tell excited mets lineup today to just get something going once they start to get
05:29some opportunities so bad fundamentals great pitching really good offense all cultivated for
05:35the new york mets to secure three games out of four here against san france so as a complete series
05:40recap the mets as we know dominated and their game two victory after david pearson did not get the job
05:46done in game one shaman i who i did not love his outing when looking at the stuff still ate
05:51so many
05:52innings for the mets in game one this series that it set the table for them not to have to
05:55really
05:55exacerbate their bullpen at all in the four game set you pair that with a game two victory a 10
06:00-3
06:01victory no mclean looking like he's throwing frisbees as a surprise absolutely nobody one of
06:06the most exciting young dominant pitchers in all the national league right now mets offense was
06:10tremendous marcus simeon with a big game especially we see mark vientos raging hot all series long that's
06:16why he started all series then you get a huge nine to nothing shutout victory yesterday at the time of
06:21recording this headline by clay holmes going seven masterful shutout innings his best start as a new
06:27york met you could argue with the exception of his final start in miami against the marlins in the
06:31final series of the year in 2025 for the amazons pair that with an offense that again was showing up
06:37early and often now gain you set for the series finale to see them do what they did brilliant work
06:42by this new york mets offense and brilliant work especially by mark vientos vientos had if i'm not
06:47mistaken six or seven pause hits that we saw in the series and vientos now quickly is batting just
06:53under 500 with well over 1200 ops okay no one soto no problem for mark vientos and this mets lab
07:02that
07:02stepped up more than they ever have while one soto has been in the lab this year so naturally cue
07:07the
07:07trolls in the comments down below one soto is a liability soto is a problem far from it but who
07:12was
07:12a liability in the series just from a standpoint of not performing since game one since going down
07:17with injury was since soto went down with injury rather was francisco lindor lindor's not getting
07:24the job done for you right another over five game he's like putrid and as gary stated on the broadcast
07:29gary cohen of sny want soto batting behind lindor versus not batting behind lindor was a 200 point
07:35gap in lindor's offensive production last year not only is that a bit of a red flag because you want
07:40to
07:40make sure lindor can perform regardless as to who's batting behind him but pairing that with
07:44how drastically different lindor was at home versus on the road last year at home lindor batted around
07:48300 with a thousand ops when he heard my girl and had his family in attendance he was feeling great
07:52contrary on the road not the same player batted closer to the mendoza line had himself around a 600
07:59ops and a guy that was just way too jekyll and hyde for who's supposed to be your plates that
08:04are at the
08:04top of the lineup and goes without saying one of your best overall players in your lab and on the
08:08field
08:08so hoping that you can get more consistency with lindor but the cat's out of the bag we know that
08:14when it comes to him can be very jekyll and hyde and how he's going to begin a season it
08:17might be
08:17raging hot or he might be ice cold until middle of the may we're just going to have to wait
08:21and see
08:21but shout out to carlos mendoza who i thought really stepped up with his decision making not only from
08:26a lineup standpoint but from an end game standpoint as well really really good job and i think there's
08:32something to be said about mendy rocky now actual prescription glasses each of the past three days as a new
08:38york mets secured three straight victories so listen mendy i don't make the rules but you got to keep
08:43the glasses on it's obviously working it's benefiting the mets no matter how much it's a joke or a real
08:47thing we're going to call it how it is so mets fans a lot to be encouraged by after what
08:52was a very
08:52deflating series loss in st louis to the cardinals between bad fundies to bad offense just nothing
08:58going even when you have the pitching so the pitching has been a strong hold for the mets early
09:02similar to how it was last year we should bear that in mind because it needs to continue beyond mid
09:06-june
09:07like what we didn't see sadly last year and for an offense that's stepping up without one soto
09:12that should have you really encouraged on the resiliency that this mets team is showing
09:15no one soto no problem as they are having again the best offense you could possibly have
09:20from this mets team here in 2026 so as the amazons get set for a big series against the
09:25arizona diebacks beginning this tuesday at city field hopefully they can continue their winning ways
09:30after what was an unbelievably strong way to round out their latest west coast trip
09:34mets fans let us know all your thoughts in the comments down below who is your favorite player
09:39of the series for me has to be mark vientos and from a pitching standpoint it is easily clay holmes
09:43love what i saw from a lot of guys in this series as well again you could take your pick
09:47that's a
09:48great thing when you have an abundance of options an abundance of riches to choose from which is great
09:52production by this mets team let us know all your thoughts in the comments down below be on the
09:56lookout as we will have some coverage and reporting for you guys live from city field at some point
