00:00A.J. Ewing's first start in the major leagues was absolutely a positive one, something that Mets fans should be
00:05excited about.
00:06You saw the young outfielder draw three walks, and the Mets fans applauded him for that, standing ovations for that.
00:13You saw him steal a base, and that also had the fan base excited.
00:17Then he also delivered a triple in this game, one of the most exciting plays in baseball.
00:22A.J. Ewing delivered that.
00:23This was a desperate move by the Mets, but it also absolutely was the right move.
00:29Where the Mets were coming into play last night at 15-25, and they get the win, and now they're
00:3416-25, nine games below .500, the Mets needed some sort of spark, and they had to hope that A
00:41.J. Ewing could do that.
00:42Now, A.J. Ewing's not going to walk three times every game.
00:45He's not going to get a triple and steal a base, but it's if he has that kind of play,
00:49that kind of eye at the plate,
00:50did not look overmatched yesterday going up against the Tigers pitching.
00:54He looked patient at the plate.
00:56When he got on the base pass, he was able to wreak havoc there, and then with the triple, show
01:00you that speed that had been talked about with him in the minor leagues.
01:04So nobody knows if it's going to work.
01:07A.J. Ewing may struggle after this.
01:08That might happen, but this was absolutely the right move because, to me, the Mets really had no other move.
01:14They had to inject some life not only into this fan base, but into this team.
01:20So if you're not going to be the right move, it's going to work.
01:20And you know, when they wanted to fight a little bit, it was a big mouse.
01:20I didn't want to play the kid.
