Starling Marte officially done for the year.

Starling Marte officially done for the year.

When will it be time to start a "Starling Marte is still done" thread?

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure what "still done" means, but you can certainly start the thread whenever you like.



A five-for-five opener will get Jeff McNeil back up to .300 for his career.

It was an allusion to the "___ ____ is still alive" and "____ ____ is still dead" threads.

[Edgy MD]

That's the way it's done, Pete.

[Frayed Knot]

Ball 3 to Pete was a better pitch than was Strike 3 to Mauricio, and Pete makes the most of his second life.

[MFS62]

I just saw a replay. Nice diving catch by the squirrel.

But the look on his face when he threw it in was priceless.



Later

[Frayed Knot]

Suddenly 2R HRs R us, which is a nice change after 75 straight HRs* with the bases empty.



* May not be the exact number, I'll have to do more checking

[Benjamin Grimm]

Alonso now tied with HoJo for fourth place with 192 home runs.

[Frayed Knot]

But still a full 60 away from Straw so in order to (realistically) reach that mark those of us who chose

the 'Pete will be a NYM to start the '24 & '25 seasons' option in today's poll will need to be right.

[Edgy MD]

Giving Berti a hit on that play is kinda goofy.

[Edgy MD]

It's Two-Run Homer Day! All kids 14 and under who are in attendance will receive a two-run homer while supplies last!!

[MFS62]

I can get used to that!

Later

[MFS62]

OY!

But I can't get used to Trevor Gott.

[Edgy MD]

Mr. Met beats out Bernie Brewer and Lou Seal in the Great Mascot Race.



First time I've seen Mister even in the field.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets suddenly have a 2022 rally going.

[MFS62]

Let's keep the merry-go-round moving.

Later

[Frayed Knot]

Scoring that twister by McNeil a hit is a MUCH worse call than the one to Lindor a few innings back where, yes he fumbled it

during the transfer, but even clean would have had to do either the backhand flip to 2nd or the spin-o-rama throw to 1st

[Edgy MD]

That was a terrible scoring call.



Also, DeJesus looks like a Venezuelan Joey Lucchesi.

[Edgy MD]

That was about as long a shutout inning can be for Smith.

[Frayed Knot]

Buck threw the flag on Drew Smith, 5 yards for 'Unnecessary Excitement' in that last half inning.

[Edgy MD]

Hit it to Soler, Pete!

[Frayed Knot]

Skip Schumacher is going to make this kid wear it for the test of this game.

Geez Skip, it's his second ML outing.

[ashie62]

Dang everybody hits



Petey!



Even Vientos boom
