Fun team to root for. I had to pass on watching this as to go do something my wife chose for us to do that did not involve watching baseball.

What a performance from Peterson

[Gwreck]

Peterson is the man.



Mets have their best record since the last day of the 2022 season.

[Lefty Specialist]

That was fun. I especially liked that all 9 players got in a circle afterward to celebrate. That was cool.

Is it too superstitious to wish that Francisco Alvarez' wife has a baby every day?

In the postgame interview with Steve Gelbs, Peterson referred a couple of times to "Louie". In context, it sounded like he was referring to Carlos Mendoza.



Is Mendoza "Louie"? Or was I hearing incorrectly? I haven't been this confused since Jay-or-Reese Familia.

[metirish]

There is a Louie that works in one of the chop shops , maybe it's him

[Edgy MD]

In baseball practice, virtually every Luis gets tagged with Louie in the clubhouse. Since there are no Luises on the Mets coaching staff, it stands to reason that he was referring to his catcher, Luis Torrens.

Package for Mr. Peterson....

Just for context, this was Peterson's 98th career start as a Met, his second CG and his first shutout.



Tom Seaver holds the club record for complete game shutouts in a career, having done it 44 times. Only seven other Mets (Kooz, Matlack, Gooden, Cone, Darling and Al Jackson) ever threw even ten of them as a Met.



In his first three seasons, to make a more rough comparison to Peterson in terms of number of games started, Seaver started 104 games, completing 50 (!) of them, with 12 shutouts.

[Cowtipper]

Peterson was magical last night. This season is becoming magical.



Last year it was Severino's complete game shutout and Winker's walk off that really made me feel like it was a magical, playoff-destined team.



Well, I'm starting to get that feeling again, and we're only in June.
