Top-15 player in baseball for nearly six weeks now. Wild!
Wild day.
Had to leave the game unexpectedly after getting a call that my son had taken a scary fall and was headed to the hospital. Thankfully, after a very long few hours, he got the all clear and is doing well. Tough kid.
The first thing he asked me when I walked into the ER:
“Did the Mets win?”
Saying “yes” didn’t really feel like I was doing it justice.
Sorry I disappeared and missed the walk-off interview. Pretty good reason, I’d say.
Anyway, what a win. What a homestand. Season back on.
Very grateful tonight. See you tomorrow from D.C.

🚨🇺🇸👀 #DISCUSSION — After a win at LIV Dallas and a history as Captain America, do you think Patrick Reed should be considered for the U.S. Ryder Cup team?
🧵5 Reasons I am still optimistic despite the Senga injury:
1. Took place six weeks earlier in the season compared to when he went down last year.
2. Senga has nearly 75 innings under his belt, so there won’t be nearly as much rust whenever he is able to make his return.
