Punch, Nimmo, punch.

Ottavino throws six pitches for six strikes, getting three outs.

Yes, go to him to open the ninth.

I think the evidence suggests that Burger's cleats beat the throw, but his foot did not.

Ottavino coming on for the bottom of the eighth, which kind of suggests that we're going back to Díaz in the ninth.

Garrett certainly looks sharper when he enters at the top of an inning than when he comes in with runners on.

Just need one out from him here and two runs are home.

Why would you write that?

At 3–2 with the bases loaded, my wife remembered that I hadn't taken the chihuahua out. Bases were loaded, but the family comes first, so I left the Mets to the fates, and out we went, in the rain. I came back in and as I came up the stairs, I was thinking, "It had BETTER be 7–2 now." And ...

The Mets are going so rough offensively, instead of hitting a deep drive and trying to wave it fair, Lindor was reduced to using his magic waving skills by hitting a foul pop and trying to wave it out of play. For what it's worth, it did go out of play and he drove in a run with a groundout later in...

"You can't be too Larry Fine." — Keith Hernandez

As Miami scores their first pitch on an 0-2 pitch. Shoulda been Larry Finer, I guess.

I'm enjoying our new leadoff hitter, even as he chases for strike three.

I was familiar with this song, which features references to Big Shea and Butch Huskey, but I hadn't seen this video (I'm not particularly confident that it's even original) that features beautiful if indifferently lit overhead shots of the World's Fair at night, plus action at what looks to be the e...

The enemy shall be vanquished. A new dawn shall arise.

Relatedly, Nimmo is back!

Some mascot characters are more inspired than others, and there is nothing offensive about this guy in concept. But in execution, come on. Isn't the main point of mascot figures that they should be soft, inviting, padded, and huggable? Not rendered in hard edges and molded plastic? How many eyes hav...

I couldn't find a TWIB thread for this almost-completed week, but it's going to be season-ending shoulder surgery for Jung Hoo Lee after coming down hard trying to make a leaping catch at the wall. On the other side of the dial of fortune Paul Skenes no-hit the Cubs through six at Wrigley, striking ...

Way to take the reins.

Unless DGW can somehow shoot a -4 on the last hole, it looks like Ben Grimm is our champion. Despite going even on the back nine, Ben held in there while others charged ahead and collapsed backwards. Here's to slow and steady winning the race! Congratulations, Ben! That's your third victory, tying s...

So ... not!

Scott escaping a bases-loaded/no-out situation may or may not be something to build on.

Mets chasing again.

You're all missing a game here.

And as of 20 seconds ago, it became a game that the Mets are trailing by four.

Weird caps on both teams for Armed Forces Weekend.

I never understood how the trailer park slur is supposed to be OK.

It brings shame upon the entire dojo.

The 25-year-old Otto López is OPSing around .900, and clearly is the reason they went ahead and dealt Arraez.

Already with his third organization, however.

Whatever knocked Nimmo out last night is still knockin'.
