Does DJ Stewart pitch?

Maybe.

[Lefty Specialist]

Might be a good time for 2 innings of Houser.

[Centerfield]

Question. Do the offensive stats from tonight count? Or are they discounted cuz it's the scrub Yankees?

I'm not sure there's ever been a position player pitching in a Mets-Yankees game.

[Edgy MD]

Batted around in the eighth.



Crazycookies.

[Edgy MD]

McNoogies couldn't get that one out of the park because his arms are too tired.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets haven't beaten the Yanx by a 12 - 2 score since way back in .... actually it was 28 days ago.

5 times. https://www.mbtn.net/?p=1341https://www.mbtn.net/?p=1341

[Frayed Knot]

But Bobby Jones never relieved Bobby Jones.

I think there's a good chance we're not looking at the final score.

My favorite aspect of NYM/NYY subway series games is watching dejected Yankee fans in the stands when their team is losing. That shit is like catnip to me

[Frayed Knot]

Crying Yanqui fans isn't catnip ... it's porn!

[Lefty Specialist]

Yankee fans leaving the ballpark is pretty hot too.



Even better- Met fans cheering without any Yankee fans to respond.

[kcmets]

Need three outs, up by ten.



What fun!!

[Edgy MD]

The funny thing is, that, in addition to all the homers they've hit today, they've scraped the wall about four times (with deep flies, doubles, and a single) as well.

[Frayed Knot]

Ravetch just mentioned the Subway Series record of six HRs in one game by the Yanx in 1999

What he failed to mention is that the Mets won that game (9-8).

That was the Matt Franco/Mariano Rivera walk-off. One of the most exhausting game to watch I can remember (3:47).

[Edgy MD]

Monkees references in the radio booth.

Everybody has good reason to feel good, but Adrian Houser is getting touched here while pitching for his life.

[Frayed Knot]

I'm not sure those boots are regulation baseball wear, but that's not bad hitting form, especially for a guitarist.

You were right.

Season special Bill, time to sport those brooms!

[Lefty Specialist]

It's nights like this that I miss George Steinbrenner.

[kcmets]

Ha! You beat me...

[Edgy MD]

The next time the Mets play in YS III, they should wear home uniforms.

The thing is though that they built up so much equity early in the season (they were freakin' 45 - 19) that they STILL have the third best record

in the AL (barely behind Baltimore & Cleveland) and fifth best in MLB [PHI, LAD] despite playing sub-.400 ball (15 - 25) since June 6th.

[nymr83]

Fell asleep putting my kids to bed so I missed most of this one. What a nice score to come back to!



Ottavino getting the W for one out in the 5th inning of a 10 run victory really puts the LOL in that stat. Official scorer should have credited the Win to Young (which one? he shouldn't say, that is the fun part!)

I wonder what sort of sample size you need for predictive value in 'recent' games versus ones earlier in the year - Looking at two .500 teams on July 1st, is a team that went 10-20 in April, 15-15 in May, and 20-10 in June more likely to finish with a winning record than one that did exactly the opposite?
