[Edgy MD]

Rehabbing Mets available to play for Syracuse this evening.

• Dellin Betances


• Brandon Nimmo


• Tomas Nido

Familia was the opener in last night's game. He pitched a scoreless first inning.

Was of a mind to catch tonight's game as my wife and kids were all off doing other things. But, alas, rainout.

Fboy and I took in some AAA Mets baseball last night - they had a 5:05 double header, unbeknownst to me, so I showed up at 6:15 for what I thought was a 6:35 PM start and got to see the last 2 innings of game 1 (which they lost 9-4) and the entire second game (a win).



Also, I have a new coworker who does tech support for the team and submits the official scoring of each play in to MiLB via an online system. My son and I got the nickel tour of the facilities where the AM broadcast and scoreboard operators/PA announcers all were working. Pretty cool behind the scenes stuff.



I have tons of pictures I've taken this year, too, I need to collect them all and share them here. It's a very Metly place now, much more so than it was in 2019.

Adam Oller might be someone to keep an eye on in '22:

Two bombs for Khalil Lee today. Man has had a flaming bat most of the second half. He cooled off the last two weeks, but now has his OPS up to .920.

Long awaited photo collage of some moments from Syracuse Mets home games this past summer. I still have to capture a pic of the awesome Mr. Met seat section signs. Good thing they have a few more weeks of home games this year.

[MFS62]

Nice,

Thanks,

I wonder how much he'll be in the mix for next year. The only outfielder who I think is likely to return is Nimmo. There could be a couple of openings.

Your kid doesn't look enough like you.

Ya gotta do something about that.

As he is on the roster, he shoots to #3 on the team depth chart as soon as the season ends. Beyond that, well, they traded for him for a reason. So, yeah, we should expect to see him get a good look.

Who would have thought that the player who was cheered for getting an IF single after about 20 ABs would start raking? If the Mets lose a few more games like last night perhaps they should stick him in LF to see if he hits as well as he is doing in SYR or if he reverts back to how he was as a Met.

These are great. What did you shoot these with?

[MFS62]

One of the team's top 5 prospects, power hitter (his 22 HR lead the organization this year) Mark Vientos was promoted to Syracuse about a week ago, but hasn't appeared in a game yet.

Has he been injured?

Mark Vientos is 5-for-7 in his first two game in Syracuse with a walk, a double, and a homer.

We hear all the time about our resemblance. I tell everyone it's surprising since he's a foundling.

[MFS62]

Syracuse is the only Mets minor league team to make the post season.

They will be starting a series against Scranton- Wilks Barre tomorrow, 9/22.

Headed back tonight for my final game of the 2021 season. It'll be fun to attend a fall game, usually these guys are done Labor Day weekend. Bringing Fboy and his lady friend and then presumably sitting by myself (too chilly for my wife & daughter to want to come).

He is not in the starting lineup, sad to say.
