The Mets evened up the Subway Series on Saturday, walloping the Yankees 12-2 as Gerrit Cole couldn’t keep the visitors from launching balls over the fences. It was the second straight concerning start on that front for Cole, who insists that he’s perfectly healthy but has noticed the issue and believes there’s some ironing out to do mechanically — hopefully he gets that in line quickly, because time is running out before the postseason and Cole is expected to be one of the team’s top three starters in a short series to determine their fate.
Before the finale of the series gets underway, we’ve got some things on deck for you to check out. Matt starts us off with a look at your responses to Aaron Judge’s return and how far you think the Yankees will go with him back in the mix.

After the game, John will return to deliver the weekly social media spotlight.
