IGT 7/11 Mets at KC Wacha Gonna' Do?

[Frayed Knot]

Well this is a sudden and unanticipated explosion.

[The Hot Corner]

Best to give Diaz the night off now.

Is Soto ok? Was grimacing after.

[Edgy MD]

Alonso's new bat isn't as blessed as Vientos' is.

Almost shockingly, that is what they do.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Expecting the relief to be just shaky enough to require Diaz anyway. Warms up at least

[The Hot Corner]

Put it in the books!

[Centerfield]

Chris Devenski. High leverage reliever.

[Edgy MD]

Wish the game had the decency to end on the same night it started.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Great come from behind win!

Said this to my son yesterday. He's clearly the best defensive option at that position on the current roster.

[Frayed Knot]

There is some erratic-ness in him defensively, particularly throwing. But he does have SS hands and SS movement which tends to play anywhere.





Nice to be on the good side of the BB game last night: 8 vs 2 (both by Senga). One walk drove in a run and three of the others eventually scored.

Too often this year (and last) we've been finding ourselves on the wrong side of that equation.

It did, in Kansas City, where the game was played.

We can surely hope. Last night was huge, but one game does not make a season. If he can string together good at bats over a week or two, then I will believe he has found his stroke.



It would be huge for the team if he can regain his form from last season. Too many "black holes" in the Mets line up right now.

[Edgy MD]

At the end of the game, after congratulating the pitcher, the players on the field all huddled together and Nimmo (I think) said, "Ok ... 'Swag!' on three! One! Two! Three! ... SWAG!"



Hopefully a moment to build on for the guy.



As of this morning, his OPS is at .625 and Baty's at .697 with Mauricio coming in at .696, so it is going to take some mixing and matching to find the right opportunities and hopefully bring them all along. Acuña (.561) also.
