Or bring him off the bench and have him hit a game-changing HR, either way.

After his last pitch Rivera looked right at the dugout for aid. He saw something wrong, Noah winced in pain for a sec. Not good.

I like that Rivera didn't let that go unnoticed. I think that was smart. I don't think Noah would have taken himself out.

Whiffing Murff twice is impressive. As it would also be satisfying to chase Strasburg.

I'm just a little fretty the team doesn't have enough horses out there to stage this comeback.

Wilmer Flores, be with me in my time of need.

I'm guessing de Aza ain't going just yet, not that I don't doubt Bernadina has as much of a chance of having a good second half as he does.

The other thing is that, with Nimmo ensconced on the roster, de Aza's centerfieldiness isn't as needful a thing to have around. But he's probably here at least until the Mets sort out the issue with Céspedes calf.
