Joey Lucchesi is coming off two abbreviated rehab starts with Brooklyn. It would be a rough ask to send him out there without an appearance or two at Syracuse first.

There is zero official indication that Lucchesi will be leaving the

witness protection program to toe the rubber tonight.



Stay tuned...

Tonight is the lone 8:15 start in the series.

Yesterday was moved up for network TV and Saturday's game is moved up an hour as well, followed by a day game Sunday.

Game time 8:15 PM.

The other games in the series were earlier because of TV scheduling.

Actually, it's Masyn.

And, better than that, it's Masyn Blaze Winn



He is apparently no relation to former big leaguer Randy Winn, nor is Jose Fermin related to Felix.

Masyn is one of their top prospects



It's a lot easier to watch the Mets now with so much less on the line

If that last pitch to Walker wasn't strike three, I'm not sure where it was.

I don't know what they're booing Alonso over. It's them that he threw the ball to.

Masyn's mistake was crossing the bag before making his throw and double clutching even then.

Gary: "It appears that the fog has cleared for this team, after the early-August post-trade-deadline swoon."



That's a nice thought, but I'll wait until I see them play Atlanta again.

Re: IGT 08/18 - NYM @ STL - Plodding Along in Ol' St Loo (ll)

While discussing shortstops with super arms, José Oquendo might well be a part of the conversation.



I like the precedent José getting into the Cardinal HoF when much of his legacy is as a coach. It helps Rube Walker's cause.

It'd be fun as heck. That road has to go through Atlanta, though.



Walker needs some breathing strips. He's been mouth-breathing up at the plate.

San Diego and Arizona in a scoreless tie in the fourth.



I'm rooting against San Diego, because I want to catch the team just in front, but either way, the Mets gain if they TCB tonight. Washington charging hard right behind them.

For want of a (better game from) Naile, the game was lost.



It was probably lost anyhow, though.

It's interesting to be here for Masyn Winn's debut. This Cardinal team isn't as bad as their record suggests, but they certainly have lacked a certain Ke'Bryan factor.
