The Mets either need to lose an outfielder/DH or a pitcher. Yes, exactly... but losing a pitcher feels fanciful these days, especially if they are going to a 6-man rotation (otherwise, you could excise Houser unless he's a placeholder for Peterson). Narvaez--yeesh, but if you don't have another cat...

Joey Wendle with a well-deserved start.

There’s a real roster/bench management problem here when the Mets have no viable options in the 10th inning. Burning 2 players to hit for Baty is a real problem. If Baty can’t be trusted to hit in a big spot, he can’t start. Not with Wendle and Nido and Narvaez holding down unproductive spots on th...

Bench and roster construction leaves something to be desired with 3 players who can’t hit and a bunch of extra DHes. Right. When you pinch-run w/DJ Stewart, then yes, there is an issue with roster construction. JDM is a DH-only which is fine b/c he's a good hitter but it clogs up a spot that is mos...

Is there anything that Wendle can do well?

To a player the Mets cut. And they've walked him twice! And he's scored twice!

ESPN showed a picture of Ozuna and his mother. She must be so proud: On May 29, 2021, Ozuna was arrested and charged with aggravated assault by strangulation and battery after Sandy Springs Police claimed to witness him grabbing his wife by the neck and throwing her against a wall.[42][43] The charg...

When a meaningless HR feels like a victory.

He would have walked Marte but Marte wouldn't let him.

It's 4:10 and the Mets are wearing the City Connects (0 and 3).

Various Sunday afternoon games have been shifted, likely in anticipation of the successor to the Cock for the Sunday contract. The Mets game against the Marlins on August 18 is now at 12:05.

Rumors have the Cock's package being moved to the Roku Channel. Really.

From August 2 to September 1, the Mets will play 29 games in 31 days with only 9 home games. There will be two west coast trips, they will play in 3 different time zones for 3 consecutive days (August 4 to 6) and none of the road games will be in the eastern time zone (we'll be tired, too!) Accordin...

After two days off, the Mets face the Atlanta Braves. The starters are Jose Quintana and assassin Charlie Morton (he hit Pete on purpose and Buck did nothing to retaliate). Game time is 7:10 PM ET on SNY. The second-place Braves are a 1.5-run favorite and the O/U is 8 runs. https://www.mlb.com/gamed...

One run and it was helped by a dropped/unseen fly ball. Meanwhile, Oakland scored 20, PHI scored 14, TX scored 15, and SD scored 13.

I'm not sure that's on Otto, or entirely on Otto as Pete was far afield. It might have been McNeil's ball, if it was anyone's.

Christian Scott will start for the Mets on Saturday!

The Houser tenure with the Mets must end after today unless Stearns refuses to acknowledge his mistake.

Wendle should make decisions like George Constanza-- do the complete opposite of everything he would normally do.

I keep thinking about the C standing on the plate waiting for the ball which is contrary to the rule. MLB said that the "trajectory" put him there but that's wrong. The fielder threw the ball to where the C was standing, not the opposite. There is supposed to be a "lane" for the ...

Carlos sticking to his opinion in the press conference and not saying "oh well, it's one play" raises my opinion of him.

I went to a game this spring in West Palm Beach and a guy standing next to me yelled "Shorty". Zack Short looked up and they chatted. After Short returned to the field the guy's father said they were teammates at Sacred Heart.

I didn't associate the clothing with a "pimp" until Martino did so.
