IGT, 9/15, CIN@NYM, The Age of Stoins!

What's black, green, and red?



The Mets donning their Friday-night blacks as David Peterson locks horns with flamethrowing Hunter Greene of the Cincinnati Reds. Roberto Clemente Day will be celebrated at Citi Field, but once the pre-game festivities are done, the atmosphere will be anything but clemente. Met bats will seek to turn on the some of the hottest heat baseball has to offer, and Francisco Álvarez will try to contend with a team of young, speedy Redlegs.



Ronny Mauricio has been out with an un-named illness, but it's totally not COVID so stop saying it is. Maybe Guillorme returns in his stead. In addition to the game, the first 33,000 through the gate will get access to a seat and a chance to have their picture taken at the ballpark by their friend with a camera phone.

A blue sponsor patch adds to my issues with the Cincy uni, which include the fact that you can't read the nameplates.

Yeah, I was just thinking that those Kroger patches aren't helping the Kroger brand very much, and certainly not the Reds brand.

Greene doesn't have a nameplate. His teammates do

Weird.



Greene's slider doesn't do anything for me, but it works against righties because they're all sitting on the heater.

#21 is his regular number so he removed the nameplate for tonight because it's Roberto Clemente day

But we're not touching Greenie so far. And as he's topping out at 98 so far.



Yanks not helping us against the Buccos, either.

Brandon milking 10 pitches from Greene and singling the other way is lead-off hitting the way it oughta be.

I'd like to retroactively endorse the idea that Mauricio try to work a walk.

Mauricio seems to be a cut above Baty and Vientos

Playing a "Born to be Wild" sound bite when a pitcher is having trouble finding the plate is kind of bush league.

Re: IGT, 9/15, CIN@NYM, The Age of Stoins!

Once again, they've got just four hits to this point.

A fifth and a sixth here would really help things along.



But we opt for the routine GiDP instead.

And, once again, getting runners on with no outs reduces their odds of scoring.

DJS looked like he was having trouble with Greene's velocity.

Maybe is dangerous here as the tying run.

Alexis Diaz, a Puerto Rico native, also does #21 w/o the nameplate.

I'm retroactively saying let's not let Vientos bat.
