After the game, manager Andy Green was asked about Bichette (h/t SNY Mets).

Reporter: “We’ve asked you lately about a bunch of guys who would do well to end the season strong. Bo is so even-keeled. To what extent does it matter for a guy like that, do you think, to have a good September heading into the offseason?”

Green: “Bo’s a star. Stars should play like stars when they’re on the baseball field. And that’s how we see him. That’s what we think about him. I think when you look at who he’s been since maybe the middle of May, I don’t have exact dates, it’s been really, really good. And that’s a huge swing. And like I said, we’ve got all the confidence in the world no matter what’s happened in a game up to that point in time that Bo is going to be equal to the task.”
