- Lindor: “I want to win it all. I want to be a team that comes back every 10 years and they eat for free anywhere they go.”
- No-hitter alert: Jacob deGrom is pitching tonight against what’s left of the Nationals.
- I don't get to see Gerrit Cole much, but if he's worth $324 million, Jacob deGrom must be worth $648 million.
- You know what’s bad for baseball? Teams that don’t care about winning.
- Ray Knight: “I love the New York Mets. I don’t like the Wilpons.”
- Steve Cohen on Lindor: “That 341 (million) is looking pretty freakin good right now.”
- Noah Syndergaard tells The Post: “All I plead is that the new owner treats players and personnel in the organization like people and less like expendable commodities. That being said, I couldn’t be more excited having the real life Bobby Axelrod leading the charge.”
- Kodai Senga is "in the conversation" for a spot on the Mets' NLDS roster, according to a club source.
- At Braves home games, The Freeze races somebody from the crowd. The opponent is given a huge head start, but The Freeze soon becomes a blur, easily makes up ground and wins (usually). There is your metaphor for what has occurred in the NL East.
- If this “no gatherings over 500” rule catches on long term, the Miami Marlins will be the only team allowed to host games this season.
- Francisco Lindor told Jeff McNeil in the clubhouse that he would buy him a car if McNeil wins the batting title. I told Lindor I have got it on tape. Said Lindor: "I didn't say what kind of car."
- My idea if the Mets clinch a wildcard this weekend but have to play a doubleheader Monday because the games are meaningful to the Braves: Sign Bartolo Colon to pitch all 18 innings.
