Mets go with Trevor Williams for the series split. Julio Urias will start for L.A., at least until Dave Roberts can sneak Ron Cey onto the mound. 4:10 EDT on SNY.

The experts are saying that there are way better suitors for Castillo than the Mets because Castillo will likely be the most desirable player available at the trading deadline and the Mets dont have the prospects other teams do that it will take to get Castillo.

Yabbut the Mets are also probably one of the few clubs capable of doing the Reds the further favor of taking a shit salary, so their price in talent could decrease (does anyone read what i write?). Some Guy on the Internet says Mauricio + Allen for Castillo + Shit Prospect is a fair deal, but also doesn't contemplate the Salary Eating Discount

I read what you write. But maybe the Reds aren't mainly looking for salary dumps. They're still relatively cash strapped. They want prospects. Cheap baseball labor.

Every day they wait, that becomes a less attractive option. That's why they should made this deal the morning Max hit the DL.

Castillo today: 6.1 IP, 5 R, 3 ER, 6 hits, 4 walks, 6 Ks

Gigantic, audacious win. Fuck it, this was the biggest regular season series in years and years for this team, and they were embarrassed twice, screwed up a few things, and still took 2 on the enemies turf. And boy did Buck pants Robert's in this series.

This is the most interesting Mets team since 86

No doubt.

But Diaz is going to need to pitch two innings at least once against the Dodgers in October.

Sure, but Edwin was a bit erratic himself in the 8th and, while I don't think bringing him back for the 9th would have been the Wrong move, had he blown up in the 9th Buck would have been subject to at least as much scrutiny as he was/is for not doing so.

I liked the strategy as a whole and it was unfortunate that Lugo faltered but I don't think the wrong choice.

What a game, holy moly !

I caught most of the last two innings on the radio call as I was mowing my lawn. No Howie, today, which was a shame. Having said that,

1) I loved that Buck used Diaz in the 8th against the top of the lineup. Totally 100% the smart play

2) I don't like Lugo on back to back days and he clearly was off his best. I don't know that I'd have pulled him, though, against a .190 hitter with two outs

3) Medina showed some big stones in the 10th

4) I don't challenge the CI call in the bottom of that inning if I'm Dave Roberts. Taking the bat out of the hands of an All Star player? Dumb. Let him hit, he's got a better chance than any of the subsequent guys to plate the tying run

generally speaking, on one's a good hitter on 0-2. Trea Turner is a career .207/.236/.296 hitter after 0-2. This year he's 5/38 with 19 strikeouts. Coin flip whether he strikes out there. Add in the added benefit of being more likely to win the game outright on a good hit after that, especially after the steal. You get a fresh count and a pretty good hitter in Will Smith. I get that you want the best guys up in the biggest spots, but Medina almost definitely would've gotten Turner flailing on a slider off of the plate like he did Smith.

[CROSSOUT]I believe the CI was a "crew chief challenge" whatever that is. [/CROSSOUT]CB Bucknor doesn't strike me as a great crew chief after this series. Edit-- no that was the foul HR. Nevermind

It also felt like the Dodgers deployed everything, while the Mets still had something in reserve.

Medina is a pitcher — and not the team's only one — with a chance to grow in profile as the season progresses.

Also, lest it go unsaid, the automatic runner rule is still bad for baseball. Winning or losing don't change that.

Re: IGT 6/5/2022: NYM@LAD — Confuse Dave Roberts Further

Speaking of a confused Dave Roberts, unless there was no one on his bench -- and I mean No One including a recently retired coach maybe who could somehow be insta-activated -- I was stunned

that he let Eddy Alvarez hit in that spot [2-out, 9th inning, down one, following the Taylor double]. I mean, it worked [first pitch game-tying single] but Alvarez is 32 y/o with just over 100 ML PAs

under his belt, a .198/.292/.292 career slash line, has been a Dodger for like an hour and a half, and at this point is better known for the novelty that he's a baseball player considering his Miami-

born/ice skating background, then he is for anything he's actually done As a baseball player.

Medina split

Vote in this one! Support my advocacy for Adonis Medina! Sent in to pitch with the tying run on second and Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Trea Turner due to bat, he ended up having to get something like four outs after catcher's interference undid his efforts against Turner, and he still ended the game without that runner scoring!

Ended the game by striking out The Fresh Prince with the tying run on third and the winning (losing) run on second!
