In this “Giant Mess”, New York Mets fan Neal Lynch recaps Games 1 and 2 of the National League Championship Series between the Amazin’s and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Game 1 was a Lazy Sunday for New York that saw the Metros sleepwalking through a 9-0 blowout loss. Sean Manaea got the nod in Game 2 and was masterful through 5 innings. Francisco Lindor kicked off the contest with a leadoff home, Tyrone Taylor added an RBI double, and MONSTER MASHER Mark Vientos became the youngest player in LCS history to hit a grand slam. The bullpen held on for the 7-3 dub.
Neal then previews what to expect in Games 3, 4, and 5 at Citi Field. Should Game 1 loser Kodai Senga start in Game 5? Is David Peterson an option as the starter when he’s been one of our best relievers? Should low-key top performer Tylor Megill take the bump?
Plus, a brief look back at the 1988 NLCS in which Lenny Dykstra played out his mind but Orel Hershiser and Mike Scioscia had other plans.
