The Mets and Phillies got off to great starts entering a head to head matchup in Philadelphia this week. Ken Rosenthal and Tim McMaster get you ready for that series and give some extra detail into Aaron Judge's contract situation. And then they open up the mailbag...

-Should there be automatic suspensions for hitting batters in the head?

-Does a Shane Bieber for Tyler O'Neil trade make sense for Guardians and Cardinals?

-Why can't the Marlins acquire bullpen help?

-How did the Yankees miss out on Manaea?

-Are the Braves going to have trouble re-signing Dansby Swanson?

-Why do teams bat their best hitters second these days?

-Should Dave Stieb get Hall of Fame consideration?

-With new format is MLB destined to always play in November?
