Vargas's return means Guillorme's departure. Frazier is the backup middle infielder should one be required.

Fielding two catchers is all the rage in some countries!

Deep into the significance of Gomez and Vargas playing together for the first time since 2007, I decided this was a game not starting until 7:10 PM. I was sitting here for 40 minutes, awake and doing other things, oblivious to a Met game taking place.



I don't think that's happened since 2003.

Confusing how we can't trust back-end starter Jason Vargas with the sixth, but we can trust back-end starter Wilmer Font with the ninth.



ashie, do you only log on when you're feeling especially Eeyorish?

What good did it do for Mickey to declare Diaz off limits for 4-out saves or say he'd never dare use a pitcher to pinch run.



It's almost Wilponian how he's making a show of having changed his mind

Yup.



C'mon, Matzy. If we wanted station-to-station baserunning, we'd have stuck with Ramos.



What good is replacing Wilson if you still get the Wilson Doctrine?

Went to the game. Glad to see Ramos producing a little.



What the hell happened with Diaz? Let's run this down:

Gsellman's pitching in the 8th, his second inning of work.

With one out, he lets up a double to Harrison. This is a fast runner; we know this because it was a hustle double. He's the tying run, definitely in scoring position.



Gsellman stays in against the righty Greiner. Gets a ground ball out. Harrison moves to third, but there are now two outs.



Mickey then goes to Diaz. Ok, sure, we're going for a 4 put save. The Tigers are awful, it's their 8 hitter, Jacoby Jones is hitting well under .200, but ok, the closer comes in.



Diaz lets up a single and the game is tied. He faces one more batter, strikes him out. 13 pitches total.



Mets go down in order. Pitcher spot doesn't come up. Diaz is lifted and doesn't pitch the ninth.



So if the plan was a four out save (which Mickey admitted was the plan) but the second he allows one hit, you pull him? This doesn't make sense.

Nice way to forget that irritating Friday night loss.

Got to tip the hat to the Mets for choosing Neato over Plawecki (currently at a disconcerting .151 / .250 / .302 // .552 with Cleveland) and d'Arnaud (currently at a Micronesian .102 / .170 / .102 // .272 combined from his appearances with the Mets, Dodgers and Rays).



Funky Fakt: Nido now has two homers, but zero walks.

Listened to the first half on my deck and watched the 2nd half while cooking, eating and then cleaning up after dinner. Good stuff there.
