The dumbest decision was to keep Ottavino on this team! Time and time again he has blown games and innings. He struggles to throw strikes and when he does he gets knocked around. I’m tired of him.

Let's all stay cool. Supply Philly with an abundance of bubbly, beer and booze in congratulating them. Now at least take one of the next 2 games at least from them, and play for all the marbles in Atlanta for a post season spot.

That inning was a mess with an error tossed in. Mendoza trusted Ottaviano to get one out.

The game was still quite winnable when Mr. 0 came in though with the Mets scoring only two runs maybe it didn't matter. Still, curious move to place a little used reliever -- who recently had to gut out an inning in a low-pressure situation -- in that spot.

Shake it off. Need at least to split the next two. It's a bit aggravating, but the season -- after such a great run -- might come down to one series.
