May is off the IL?

Must've missed it.

Who did he replace?

Sanchez's #s were shown on TV yesterday. He seems to be doing Corbin's equally impressive impression of a piece of toast.

Yoan Lopez and Stephen Nogosek to Syracuse to make room in the bullpen for May and Givens.



Kramer Robinson DFA to make room for Ruf.

Nice whiff of nostalgia for us to have a #9 hitter that hits like a pitcher.

Fairly or not, I have a feeling that the garbage-pail thing with the Astros is going to delay his arrival in Cooperstown.

I think it should be retired and Beltran added to the Mets Hall of Fame. Would add some diversity to our retired numbers, too.



When I was in the Hall last month, I saw one of the Mets plaques was covered. Has the team announced who is it is adding to the team hall this year?

Missing Nats:

- Bryce Harper (last played in 2018)

- Rendon (2019)

- Kurt Suzuki (2020)

- Scherzer (2021)

- Trea Turner (2021)

- Juan Soto (2022)

- Josh Bell (2022)

plus a host of others, but the named ones above constitute a heckuva brawn drain in a short time.



And the one holdover from the WS team they bet on, Strasburg, has barely pitched in three seasons now.

So, walking Alonso with no lefties in the pen turns out to be just as questionable as it seemed when they did it.



Also REALLY validates what the team was thinking when they went and got him.

Re: IGT 8/3/2022: NYM@WSH — ReinforceMets

Seven-nothing and the Mets still knocking with one out, and it may be a good day to find Vogelbach's glove and let Pete get a few innings on the bench.

Aug 03 2022 04:04 PM
Re: IGT 8/3/2022: NYM@WSH — ReinforceMets

And now that Lindor is in the hit column, it may be a good idea to pinch-run with Escobar and get Guillorme some time at short.

I'm half joking but in a tight pennant race another outing like this one lands him in Syracuse.



The offense is very very good except every fifth day Jake pitches.

I was kind of expecting that at least one of the tabloids would have gone with HEAVY HITTER for the back page. (Newsday's cover today features the other New York team.)

Not surprisingly, this isn't the first recorded instance of DANIEL BOOM! as a cover. The Post used it in April of 2015. And in August of that same year, Newsday and the News both gave us DANIEL BOON and in October, the Post had DANIEL BROOM.
