No, I think I can get off the A list with five games left in the season for give or take. I think what I can do is try to get back on that date or as soon as close to that day as possible where we are in the season, realistically, am I going to be able to throw 56 innings as a starter? Probably not, whether they use me as a starter or in the bullpen, that's up to them. I just want to do, I need to get to that point and 100% and the Mets are beginning what could be a September to remember in the midst of a pennant race and playing a Red Sox team that is also trying to fight uphill for a post season, be emerging from the smoke filled room Severino Severino in his career, 34 career games in September 13 and four with a 275 over 10 triples , over 40 doubles. He pops one up Iglesias and the foul ground makes the grab ripped right to mcneil for the second out. Two to o'neal struck him out up and in from Severino and he's got himself a 1 to 2 to 3 opening inning on just eight pitches as the Mets go up against 25 year old Brian Bao pitched the best game of his career last time out, a 3 to 0 jam francisco Leo riding a career high 30 game on base streak into play tonight and he hits in the leg and is aboard to start the bottom of the first. So that extends Lindor's on base streak to 31 straight games and sucked into left field to drive back o'neill, still backing up with room to make the play and he'll rattle that one softly to third Devers to charge scoop fire. The scoop got him and a 2 to 2 and that is going to be in there for strike three. He throws him his first k tonight. One man left Iglesias, Jeff mcneal and Starling Marte to follow in the home second and Iglesias pokes one to right center for the Mets 1st 10 of the night. So down in the count 0 to 2, took the breaking ball to right center and Iglesias is on to start the second and Then to right field, Iglesias will go to third. It's charged by Abreu and the Mets have runners at the corners. Mets trying to strike early in this one. Charlie with the first RB I channel Red Sox play their infield back for a double play, a run for two outs, one off the mound. It goes right to the second baseman Valdez. Rafaele turns the double play and the Mets get a run. The Mets take a 1 to 0 lead three to two and nice play by Valdez Scoop and gets him at first base. A couple of nice plays in that inning and the Mets take the lead one to 01 down in the third for set on. Raffaello want to get Raffaele going again, shot into center. Nimmo can't get it. That's going to get by him. It keeps on rolling up against the wall. Sadan rounding second. He goes into third and stops there losing a helmet. Nimmo tried to make a sensational play the red sox benefit. He winds up just 90 ft from the plate. Durant, one guy who has been swinging at 349 hot shot base hit that will drive in a run. Raffaele will score. Durant wants second. Here's the throw the tag and he is out great job driving in the run. He saw an opening there and he is cut down at second base and the payoff pitch up the middle sharply. Backhanded Valdez throws skips it and another outstanding play. He is flashing the leather today that's three plays he's made and he lines one to right field that's going to fall for a base hit. He's been on in 31 straight, but now the hitting streak is at 13 games. Mets have runner at first base with one out center fielder, Brandon Nimmo steps to the plate at the end of the bat to center and might have pulled. Durant gets over his head races for 30 being waved around the relay thrown by valdez to the plate. The Mets regained the lead after Nimmo couldn't catch Raphael's drive to center field that went for a triple. He beats Durant over his head with a double to drive in the lead run and its 2 to 1. New York Alonso four pitch walk and now he's aboard, this is turning into a rough inning for Bao and Iran at 1st and 2nd for Winker fly ball in left center field for Durant. Runners will not move. They will hold at 1st and 2nd and 2 gone and a swing and a miss down. He goes, he fans him and he gets out of it. Marte hit into a double play first time back toward him. Bare hand, nice play throws at first base. What a play by doesn't even need a glove short hop, bare hand. We talked a lot about the red Sox defense and how bad it's been, but they've made some spectacular plays in the first four innings of this game. The Mets have a two out single from dj Stewart, a two out base runner. Now, Luis to that's flying along the left field line, a long run for o'neal and he's not going to get there. It lands for a hit. Here's Stewart to third. He's going to be waved home by mike Sarbaugh. The relay throw to the DJ Stewart scores from first. The issue is not that o'neal couldn't get to this ball. He's not able to field it cleanly has already been on base twice. Flags one out to right center for a base hit and that will chase home to an RB I single for to make it 4 to 1 continues to hear MVP champ. The Mets are cashing in the Red Sox mistakes after two out and nobody on made that great defensive play. But after that, he's given up three straight hits and a couple of runs. Luis Severino looking sharp after getting hit in the foot in his last start. He's got a three run lead now grounded down to first and a fair ball, beautiful sliding stop Alonso hit for the gorgeous play by Pete Alonso and he hits Severino on the move. The Mets play in some big time defense in the fifth. What? The Red Sox have not done defensively in this game. The Mets certainly have and two down knocks that one into left field charging on it and knocking it down Stewart. He can't haul it in. It will be a base hit for Willard, he sure can into left center field that's going to drop down for a hit up to second stop in there. Breus, the throw comes in behind him. Well, here's Devers in a big spot sixth inning 4 to 1. New York Severino with the out that he needs to get, he flies it to center and right there is Nimmo has to dive, makes the catch and that retires the side mets getting great starting pitching and more importantly, great length from their starting pitching lately trying to get seven out of Severino tonight. Fly ball right field wins going to grab it. Marte has room and makes the catch. I retired Roel with seven innings for luis Severino tonight. He tips his hat to the appreciative fan. Two out nobody on and 32 will be ball four, got him and it hit him. So after Young struck out the first two hitters, he walks Gonzalez, he hits o'neal and now Rafael Devers will come up as the tying run in the eighth inning. This is the key at bat of the game for the Boston Red Sox and he chops one to the right side. Mcneil comes in, gets the throw away in time tired, not himself at all will bid for his first save as a Met that's trying for their fifth straight win tonight and time running out on the Red Sox struck the ball. That was a lackluster performance by the Red Sox again and the Mets keep rolling. That's just a half game out of the third wild card.
