In a delayed start to their season, the New York Mets had Jacob deGrom on the mound to get 2021 started against the Philadelphia Phillies.

As per usual, everything went great when deGrom was in the game, and fell apart after he left. Marcus Stroman got the win in game two, and David Peterson just wasn't good in the rubber match.

Francisco Lindor showed flashes of brilliance with the glove. Pete Alonso and Dom Smith homered. Michael Conforto left the entire borough of Queens on base.

Trevor May was bad, but also good. Jeurys Familia was ok. Jacob Barnes was not.

It was a roller coaster ride in The City of Brotherly Love, and Michael Smith is here to break it down. Thanks for listening!
