The Postseason: Cubs and Mets

                As we look at the New York Mets verses Los Angeles Dodgers games I saw a couple of recurring things. For starter I saw Clayton Kershaw choke yet again, Zach Greinke have another good outing. One the other hand the New York Mets have played fairly well, which was surprising.

                As we look at Game 2 the Mets got out to a rough start with a 3 up 3 down type of first inning. But so did the Dodgers. Things didn’t start to heat up until the top of the second inning when both Céspedes and Conforto hit homeruns against Zach Greinke. Which is impressive because there has been only 14 homeruns hit against him. As the game progressed, it was 2-0 for a while which made the game a little boring. Things didn’t start to heat up again until the bottom of the seventh inning. The real big turning point for the game was when Noah Syndergaard walked Enrique Hernandez and let Chase Utley single to right. But the best decision made by New York Mets was certainly taking out Syndergaard and putting in Bartolo Colon. See Colon is 42, he’s the oldest player in the MLB right now. And he’s dealing just nicely.

But the one play that really is getting heated was the Chase Utley and Ruben Tejada got into a little collision. Chase Utley was sliding into second base when they were trying to turn a double play. At that moment Chase Utley completely missed the base to take out Tejada in result he now has a broken leg. But in baseball, we’re taught to break up the double play, but not that badly. But Ruben Tejada is okay, which is good. As they were introducing players at the next game, the Announcer called out Chase Utley’s name everyone booed at him.

All and all it was a great game to watch.
