Jose was recently promoted to Syracuse from the Rumble Ponies and rested for this start. Kyle Gibson goes for Philthy



Constant pressure from the Braves so...

Re: IGT 8/21/22 Mets v Phil's Jose Butto step on up!

People can have all the immature fun they want with José Butto's surname, but the Italian word "butto" translates in English to mean throw, or I throw. Didn't see that coming, did you?



Of course, José is from Venezuela, where the most common language is Spanish, and "butto" in Spanish just translates to butt. I imagine you more or less did see that one coming.



José originally signed with the Mets in June 2017 for a bonus of $5,000, or less than Eduardo Escobar's tab for one night at Fogo de Chão.

Helluva start as strike 1 was a ball and strike 2 wasn't a swing so Nimmo had to swing at a bad pitch for strike 3.

He reminds me of the "Where do they find these guys?" thread.

He is the 15th rated prospect in the organization.

The fact that the organization thought he was ready after pitching to a 4.00 ERA in AA and 6.00 in AAA tells me that maybe, just maybe, he wasn't. (Talking about Butto)

Just thought I'd point that the Mets just won three of four, from a good team no less, while using Trevor Williams, David Peterson, and Jose Butto (and Chris Bassitt)

as starters while using the likes of Sam Clay, Steven Nogosek, Rob Zastrynzy, Jose Butto, and Nate Fisher -- none of whom I had heard of prior to this week -- to

cover 30% (10.2 of 36) of the available innings.

So, my son, the erstwhile poster Lenny Harris is in the process of moving to Philadelphia and we came down to see today's game. Certainly the longest game I've been to even without the rain delay but one of the most exciting ones as well. Lotta Met fans but the Phillies fans were actually pretty nice. There was discussion of leaving during the rain delay which if we had would have been something I would gave gnashed my teeth over for the rest of my days.

I couldn't see the game. But I saw several mentions and links to the "bat flip".

The video only shows the homer and follows the ball into the seats. NONE of them follow Canha and show the flip itself.

And how 'bout those displays of emotion from the normally stoic Mr. Canha?

That bat come down yet?

I wonder if the Mets bench was annoyed with Segura's reaction to his 8th inning HR:

Segura ran out of the box and jumped when he saw the ball clear the fence. I would hope nobody would take such celebrating personally.



Neither his homer nor Cahna's were game-winners, but they were both big homers that put their team up in the late innings of an epic contest with a lot on the line for an August game. I wouldn't deny either of them a jump or two.



Segura is a Met killer and tough dude who has returned from injury and personal tragedy and has quietly put together a heck of a career. He hits to all fields with solid power for a middle infielder and remains a baserunning threat in his thirties.



Maybe he's an asshole and a juicer — I don't know — but based on what I do know, he has my respect. He strikes me as very Asdrubally.

I don't like Segura but it's because he continues to get big hits against the Mets. Otherwise, no issue with a guy celebrating a late go ahead HR. They should be excited, they're major league baseball players for fuck's sake.

Agree 100%



And, when you then deliver comeuppance by responding with a bigger homer, you celebrate even more. Thiught the Segura/Canha celebrations played out great.
