[bmfc1]

A pitcher has to go as the maximum number is 13 as of today. Medina or Lopez?

Lugo to paternity leave, Dom returns.

[MFS62]

If they were going to bring up Dom, why did they bring up Palka a day before Dom and then not activate him?

Dom was down longer then ten days, so it isn't a CBA issue.



Later

[Edgy MD]

They didn't bring Palka up a day before Dom. They summoned him on the same day they activated Smith.

[MFS62]

I saw the announcement that they were going to bring him to New York yesterday.

The question still stands, why would they have both join the team if they were only going to activate one?

Taxi squad, perhaps. Dom didn't arrive until late.

There are circumstances where you don't know if you'll have a roster spot available or not. In such circumstances (three men on baby watch, for instance), you might bring in a player while being unsure about whether you're going to activate him.



Or, sometimes, you simply get a guy in town even though he won't be activated for a day or two, perhaps to catch the team charter to Houston.

[Frayed Knot]

Lugo reinstated; Yoan Lopez Super Ultra sent back down.

Cuz, y'know, it has to be a pitcher for pitcher swap.





I suspect we'll see McCann for Mazieka next but nobody's called me with that info yet. (I'm corresponding with a real HVAC Met)

[G-Fafif]

McCann returns. Mazeika optioned.

[MFS62]

From SNY:

James McCann was activated from the IL before Friday's game against the Marlins in Miami, with Patrick Mazeika sent down to Triple-A Syracuse to make room on the roster.

According to NBC Sports,

New York Mets pitcher Tylor Megill will be out until at least mid-August, with the team moving him to the 60-day injured list. The 26-year-old right-hander was put on the 15-day IL on June 17 because of a strained right shoulder, joining aces Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer. The Mets said at the time Megill would not throw for four weeks. Earlier in the season, Megill missed four weeks with right biceps tendinitis and returned June 10. He is 4-2 with a 5.01 ERA in nine starts this year. New York made the 40-man roster move to open a spot for infielder Kramer Robertson, who was claimed off waivers from Atlanta and optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. New York also activated right-hander Colin Holderman from the injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

Later

[G-Fafif]

Ender Inciarte, as No. 22, has been promoted. Nick Plummer has been optioned.



(With Locke St. John DFA'd.)

[G-Fafif]

R.J. Alvarez, No. 71, takes the IL'd Chris Bassitt's roster spot.



(Locke St. John is outrighted to Syracuse.)

[G-Fafif]

Peterson to paternity list, Holderman returns.

[G-Fafif]

Chasen Shreve is DFA'd to make room for Max Scherzer. Not a bad tradeoff.

[G-Fafif]

So it doesn't get lost on the previous page, Scherzer back, Shreve DFA'd.

[G-Fafif]

R.J. Alvarez ghosts to Syracuse as Papa David Peterson returns from paternity leave.

The fewer inconsistent ex-MFY relievers you have on your roster, the better.

One down, one to go.

[Frayed Knot]

Joely Richardson's hitless two-K inning last night bother you that much?

[Edgy MD]

R.J. Alvarez may never earn that admission to Club J. afterall.

[MFS62]

I said inconsistent, as in Adam Ottavino.

Later

[Edgy MD]

I don't know where the line is between consistent relievers and inconsistent ones.



The notion that consistency somehow redeems Joely Rodriguez and not Adam Ottavino is hard to reconcile.

[MFS62]

Everyone has their own line. You fill the glass drop by drop until it finally spills over the edge.

Adam crossed that line for me.

But that's just me.

Of course, if he goes out there and blows them away in his next appearance, I'll gladly drain some of the water out of the glass. I'm a fan.



Later

[Frayed Knot]

So the Mets are, or are not, a better team if they ditch Ottovino by the side of the road?

[MFS62]

I didn't like him when he was an MFY. He was an arrogant a-hole who bragged that Babe Ruth couldn't have gotten a hit off him.

I didn't like it when the Mets signed him.

I don't like him now.

I don't know if the Mets will be better or worse without him, but I'll feel better.





Later

[Frayed Knot]

Well when you find someone who'll surpass the guy who's probably been the second best reliever on the team this year, let me know.

Of course this replacement would not only have to best those numbers but he'd have to do so consistently as I hate it when guys

product inconsistent 3.2 ERAs and 1.05 WHIPs



As for the rest of the stuff I couldn't possibly care less what he once said about Ruth, a guy who is dead at the present time.

[Edgy MD]

I wish the goalposts didn't keep moving.

[MFS62]

My opinion.

That's all.

Why do you care so much about what I think?
