And that endorsement of Dedniel Nuñez as bullpen darkhorse is suddenly looking prescient.

Or at least, it is to me. Not so much to Carlos Mendoza, who is lifting him in the middle of an inning after three consecutive strikeouts, with three different pitches working.

I, for one, welcome the Luís Torrens era to Citi Field. (If they play "Brother Louie" for him, I think I'm going to scream.) I happen to love Brother Louie. Whatever do you mean? I love it too, but it's a tragic song, and they played a chorus of it every time Luis Guillorme came up, and i...

This is looking like a Dickey start.

Not a Mets Dickey start. A Rangers Dickey start.

It looks like the all the Mets players are participating in Fantastic 4 Day.

For some reason, I thought this was 1:10. I tuned only to get the beefy tones of the esteemed Todd Zeile.

Cobb played in a racially segregated league, which implicates him — and everybody up to and including heroic princes like Christy Matthewson and Lou Gehrig — in racism. Beyond that, Cobb as a savage misanthrope steeped in racial animus is a popular myth largely descended from a single source that ap...

"Piano Man" in the eighth.

Ugh.

Iglesias is in for Lindor, and ... it's starting to show that he may not be the same guy.

No SPW for The Diamondbacks!

Vientos ain't going down without lighting up that strawberry in center.

I KNEW and I KNEW and I KNEW I was speaking too soon.

Digging out of a heck of a whole right here. One more out to get.

Manaea looking like a winner out there.

It used to be that, if you hit one off the fence, but couldn't make it to second, your first name was probably "Rusty."
