Shortstop Francisco Lindor spoke to reporters before Tuesday's game at Citi Field and joked, “We have to play here or we'll get booed here too,” having now played 11 straight road games, including the playoffs.

“It will definitely bring a different energy to being at home here. But at the end of the day, we gave it everything we had on the road and we'll do the same here at home. That's one thing.” With them it doesn't matter where we play, we have to go out and give everything we have.

“We understand that no one cares what we did yesterday. We have to focus on today. And no one cares what we will do tomorrow. Everything revolves around today. So this is a great market because it brings out the best in you, day in and day out, and no one cares, like I said, no one cares about what you did yesterday or what you're going to do tomorrow.

“So it’s a good place to be at this time of year because that’s what you have to focus on. You have to concentrate on the game today and that’s all.”

“So I'm excited. I'm excited. I think the fans are going to go out and be super loud. It would be cool to see a sound meter to actually see which stadium is the loudest in the entire league. I think.” That would be something really cool.

PHILADELPHIA – Harrison Bader has called the New York Mets a “traveling circus” for the past two weeks.

And what a fun performance it was, further honing his performance in the postseason. After emotional victories there was magic, high wire acts and a bit of clowning in the clubhouse.

After a two-week break, expect plenty of fanfare when the Mets return to their home stadium of Citi Field for Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the rival Phillies on Tuesday at 5:08 p.m., even after a thrilling 7-6 walk-off Defeat on Sunday afternoon.

“This is what everyone wants from baseball in October,” Brandon Nimmo said. “I think we put on quite a show for everyone in attendance and everyone watching on TV. It's really fun to play baseball like that. That was just another classic game.”
