I'm not really sure how catchers get involved in rundowns between first and second, or pitchers between third and home.



Dat's not the way I was taught.

As per the terrible Fox booth, the two of them combined line for yesterday and today is 11 2/3 IP, 14 H and 7 ER. There's no way that you'd say they held up their end.

If the walk or hit-by-pitch ain't happening Cahna, let's see you reach by bunt.



Let's not invest ourselves in swinging at compost in the ninth.

The Braves are going back to Jansen after 30-odd pitches last night. This is doable but, like the other night vs Miami, it's going to have to come out of nowhere.

Personally, I nevr called for any of them specifically be called up. For the most part Vientos seemed overmatched during his time. Alvarez appears overly eager. of the three, Baty appeared the most polished at the plate.

So the length of time between 'what's taking them so long?' to 'he's not ready' is apparently six ABs


He's obviously appeared overmatched. That's clear.



But this comment overlooks the nuance. The Mets could (should?) have called up prospects months ago to see what they could do and get them acclimated. 6 games of utmost importance is not the right spot for a MLB debut (or at least not for someone counted on to be a key contributor).

I agree. They could have done this for the OAK games when they faced 3 LHPs but they were more concerned with giving Ruf every chance to succeed. If Ruf had gotten a few hits we wouldn't be having this conversation but he didn't and yet they didn't call up Alvarez for the MIA series. As a result, they are giving Alvarez his first ML ABs in the biggest games of the season. That's not on Alvarez, that's on management which gave (away) ABs to Nido and McCann all season long. ATL didn't call up Harris yesterday they called him up months ago.

I think you can also observe what prospects can do while they are in the minors.



The lost opportunity here was giving up on J.D. Davis, but that ship has sailed and this is where the team is now.
