The Phillies' Game 1 loss to the Mets caused at least one meltdown in the Philly media.

NBC Sports Philadelphia's Michael Barkann absolutely trashed the Phillies during the network's postgame show on Saturday, showing his disdain for those who didn't perform well, forfeiting the best-of-five NLDS and calling the 6-2 loss as “a disgrace”.

“If the Phillies don’t contradict history, this series is over,” Barkann complained. “The Phillies have never won a series after losing the first game. Not once, 0-7. Don't blame Rob Thomson for this, don't blame Kevin Long, don't blame Kyle Schwarber and certainly don't blame the stud Zach Wheeler.

“But (Trea) Turner, (Bryce) Harper, (Nick) Castellanos, (Alec) Bohm, (Bryson) Stott, (JT) Realmuto, (Brandon) Marsh, (Johan) Rojas, (Jeff) Hoffman, (Matt) Strahm, (Orion) Kerkering, (Tanner) Banks? Take a hike. You should be ashamed of yourself.”

The game couldn't have started much better for the Phillies, as Schwarber hit a leadoff home run off surprising Mets starter Kodai Senga, who only played once all season due to arm and calf injuries.

But the Mets, led by David Peterson's three strong innings, shut down Phillies hitters until Ryne Stanek gave up a meaningless run in the ninth.

When Wheeler, who gave up one hit and four walks with nine strikeouts, finally left the game after seven innings, the Mets' offense pounced, as it had often done lately in the late innings during their miracle run against the Braves and Brewers .

They scored five runs in the eighth against Hoffman and Strahm and scored another in the ninth.

Turner, Bohm and Marsch each went 0-4.

Philly hosts Game 2 on Sunday at 4:08 p.m. Luis Severino will start for the Mets while Cristopher Sanchez will pitch for the Phillies.
