The crew is Gerry Davis, Tim McCleland, Larry Poncino, and Ed Hickox.
With two regular season crew chiefs and MLB veterans as well, plus Poncino as well, MLB wanted to make sure no funny business broke out this weekend.

I saw that too and was very shocked. If nothing else, this is a very good crew. The Mets broadcasters were commenting on how we got Tim in back-to-back series, but they weren't complaining. I also noticed in the last series that Larry was working with 3 fill-ins (in Cincy), so I guess MLB wanted some more experience working these games. No complaints from this Mets fan.
