[G-Fafif]

The Mets of Darin Ruf, Mychal Givens and Trevor May take on the Sotoless Nats at 4:05. Chris Bassitt seeks the series win. Anibal Sanchez pitches for Washington.

[MFS62]

May is off the IL?

Must've missed it.

Who did he replace?

Chris Bassitt

(#40, 33, RHP, 7-7, 3.83)

Anibal Sanchez

(#27, 38, RHP, 0-3, 7.47)

[G-Fafif]

Official roster moves TBA.

[Fman99]

Sanchez's #s were shown on TV yesterday. He seems to be doing Corbin's equally impressive impression of a piece of toast.

[Fman99]

Nice whiff of nostalgia for us to have a #9 hitter that hits like a pitcher.

[G-Fafif]

For those who keep track...

[kcmets]

They maybe coulda shoulda have retired that number.



I know that notion makes some people nuts, not looking for a three-page debate.

[Willets Point]

Eligible for the HOF next year, so maybe if/when he's inducted?

[Ceetar]

he's in the hall in my book, so *shrug*

[kcmets]

Didn't know you guys were Jerry Grote fans! Sweet...

Fairly or not, I have a feeling that the garbage-pail thing with the Astros is going to delay his arrival in Cooperstown.

15 is Grote. To the Max.

[Frayed Knot]

Jeez, he reached for that one and went dead center anyway!

[Lefty Specialist]

A lazy fly ball that just kept going and going.

[Frayed Knot]

All set up by a very hard working AB by Lindor.

[MFS62]

Measured at 406 feet. (yahoo sports)

3 innings worth of pitches for Bassitt thru 4

About 5-1/2 worth for Sanchez

[Edgy MD]

Zimmo's first walk since the All-Star break.

[Edgy MD]

Nationals Park organist just broke into a few bars of "The Logical Song."

[Frayed Knot]

Missing Nats:

- Bryce Harper (last played in 2018)

- Rendon (2019)

- Kurt Suzuki (2020)

- Scherzer (2021)

- Trea Turner (2021)

- Juan Soto (2022)

- Josh Bell (2022)

plus a host of others, but the named ones above constitute a heckuva brawn drain in a short time.



And the one holdover from the WS team they bet on, Strasburg, has barely pitched in three seasons now.

A VOGELBOMB!!

[Lefty Specialist]

SALAMI FOR THE FAT MAN!!!!

[Edgy MD]

So, walking Alonso with no lefties in the pen turns out to be just as questionable as it seemed when they did it.



Also REALLY validates what the team was thinking when they went and got him.

[kcmets]

I totally missed the VogelSLAM, I suppose I'll see it seven times tonight.
