Yeah.

You know, small ball, advancing guys, getting hits with runners in scoring position.

Obviously, they did add a couple late home runs, which makes the final tally look a little bit different than the way the game really played itself out.

And you did something that, let's be honest, I know the Mets were slight favorites today because historically they're so good on opening day.

You just ran, arguably, the best pitcher in baseball out without him getting three outs.

And to me, that's the takeaway of the game.

You guys were playing against a dominant starting pitcher, and he didn't get to the second inning.

That's...

That's the takeaway in today's game.

And he wasn't great.

If I told you beforehand...

that the New York Mets would be in a two-run hole against Paul Skeens, you would have said, that's a problem.

Yeah.

That right?

Because how many runs did you think you were going to score against Paul Skeens today?

Even if he's on a fake pitch count and wasn't going to throw 110 pitches today, if I told you before the game that you're down 2-0 going to the bottom of the first, you would have been like, damn it?

We're in trouble.

Absolutely.

And they came back with a five spot of their own.

They run Skeens out of there.
