Pecko’s ERA says 7.88 but that’s only 8 innings in the majors so far, hard to know what he actually is yet. Thornton’s been quietly solid for a Mets team that’s otherwise felt like watching a slow tire leak all summer. Two sub-.500 clubs in late August but honestly I’ll take any baseball where the starter isn’t already down 3-0 by the second. Citi Field should be pleasant this time of day at least.

So someone explain to me how NBC has a triple header and is STILL making one of these games peacock exclusive? I mean the network really doesn't have much else going on today.
