Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 Three straight come-from-behind wins for the Mets is exciting, but a decisive pole-to-pole win would go a long way toward shaking the Anaheimers of any illusions of contention. Lefties Brock Burke and Sean Manea take the mound, and hopefully the latter will be liberated a little from his short leash.Also notable is old buddy Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate in Angelic garb.[TABLE][TR][TH][/TH][TH][FIMG=250]https://cdn.freebiesupply.com/logos/large/2x/anaheim-angels-logo-png-transparent.png[/FIMG][/TH][TH][/TH][TH][/TH][TH][FIMG=100]https://www.amny.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Ed-Kranepool-Patch.png?resize=50[/FIMG][FIMG=250]https://cdn.freebiesupply.com/images/large/2x/new-york-mets-logo-transparent.png[/FIMG][/TH][TH][/TH][/TR][TR][TH]#[/TH][TH]Player [/TH][TH]Pos.[/TH][TH]#[/TH][TH]Player [/TH][TH]Pos.[/TH][/TR][TR][TH]1[/TH][TD]=#003263]Zach Neto =#BA0021] (R)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss-sil.png[/fimg] =#862633]ss[/TD][TH]1[/TH][TD]=#002D72]Brandon NimmO =#FF5910] (L)[/TD][TD][fimg=18]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/lf-sil.png[/fimg] =#002D72]lf[/TD][/TR][TR][TH]2[/TH][TD]=#003263]Nolan Schanuel =#BA0021] (L)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/1b-sil.png[/fimg] =#862633]1b[/TD][TH]2[/TH][TD]=#002D72]Francisco Lindor =#FF5910] (S)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss-sil.png[/fimg] =#002D72]ss[/TD][/TR][TR][TH]3[/TH][TD]=#003263]Mike Trout =#BA0021] (R)[/TD][TD][fimg=20]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/dh-sil.png[/fimg] =#862633]dh[/TD][TH]3[/TH][TD]=#002D72]Juan Soto =#FF5910] (L)[/TD][TD][fimg=13]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/rf-sil.png[/fimg] =#002D72]rf[/TD][/TR][TR][TH]4[/TH][TD]=#003263]Taylor Ward =#BA0021] (R)[/TD][TD][fimg=18]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/lf-sil.png[/fimg] =#862633]lf[/TD][TH]4[/TH][TD]=#002D72]Pete Alonso =#FF5910] (R)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/1b-sil.png[/fimg] =#002D72]1b[/TD][/TR][TR][TH]5[/TH][TD]=#003263]Jo Adell =#BA0021] (R)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/cf-sil.png[/fimg] =#862633]cf[/TD][TH]5[/TH][TD]=#002D72]Starling Marte =#FF5910] (R)[/TD][TD][fimg=20]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/dh-sil.png[/fimg] =#002D72]dh[/TD][/TR][TR][TH]6[/TH][TD]=#003263]Jorge Soler =#BA0021] (R)[/TD][TD][fimg=13]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/rf-sil.png[/fimg] =#862633]rf[/TD][TH]6[/TH][TD]=#002D72]Brett Baty =#FF5910] (L)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2b-sil.png[/fimg] =#002D72]2b[/TD][/TR][TR][TH]7[/TH][TD]=#003263]Travis d'Arnaud =#BA0021] (R)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/c-sil.png[/fimg] =#862633]c[/TD][TH]7[/TH][TD]=#002D72]Mark Vientos =#FF5910] (R)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/3b-sil.png[/fimg] =#002D72]3b[/TD][/TR][TR][TH]8[/TH][TD]=#003263]Luis Rengifo =#BA0021] (S)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2b-sil.png[/fimg] =#862633]2b[/TD][TH]8[/TH][TD]=#002D72]Luis Torrens =#FF5910] (R)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/c-sil.png[/fimg] =#002D72]c[/TD][/TR][TR][TH]9[/TH][TD]=#003263]Chris Taylor =#BA0021] (R)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/3b-sil.png[/fimg] =#862633]3b[/TD][TH]9[/TH][TD]=#002D72]Tyrone Taylor =#FF5910] (R)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/cf-sil.png[/fimg] =#002D72]cf[/TD][/TR][TR][TH][/TH][TH]Pitcher[/TH][TH][/TH][TH][/TH][TH]Pitcher[/TH][TH][/TH][/TR][TR][TH][/TH][TD]=#003263]Brock Burke =#BA0021] (L)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/sp-sil.png[/fimg] =#862633]sp[/TD][TH][/TH][TD]=#002D72]Sean Manaea =#FF5910] (L)[/TD][TD][fimg=25]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/sp-sil.png[/fimg] =#002D72]sp[/TD][/TR][/TABLE][media=youtube]vPs5TtdNZro[/media]
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 On the 7 as we speak. LFGM.
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 So far the Angels have done all they can to gift wrap the games with sloppy defense and questionable base running. It would be nice to just go out and take a game without need for the opposition to gift them runs. I'm fine with the gifts, I just want to see the offense start clicking again. Lindor and Alonso need to get off the skids and start hitting again.
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 Torrens catching?Seriously?This is the criticism I had last year. The manager doesn't let players who may be (or who are, as in the case of Alvarez) stay in the lineup.And it would be nice to see Alvarez in there against a lefty pitcher.Later
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 Probably because it's a day game after a night game.
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 Now that's more like it. [bIGPURPLE]Nimmo with a leadoff home run. [/bIGPURPLE]
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 23, 2025 Author Posted July 23, 2025 Another ridiculously passive play by Soler on that Baty hit.
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 Turning proming innings into nothing again.
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 Trout ties it up with a solo home run to RCF.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 23, 2025 Author Posted July 23, 2025 Did Soler just get pulled for shlubbing it on defense?
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 Thisa would be a very opportune time for the heart of the order (Lindor, Soto, & Alonso) to start hitting again.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 [bIGPURPLE]1 - 31 !!!![/bIGPURPLE]
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 Lindor gets a hit!!! Mets retake the lead.
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 Three run bomb by Alonso!!!
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 23, 2025 Author Posted July 23, 2025 Nimmo and Lindor scoring on an Alonso homer is very gratifying.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 23, 2025 Author Posted July 23, 2025 Vientos has joined Baty in incorporating the Arrenado Sling into his defensive game.

The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 Lindor with a second straight RBI single. Welcome back.

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 23, 2025 Author Posted July 23, 2025 That Minute Maid vendor was wearing a retired number!
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 23, 2025 Author Posted July 23, 2025 This game is suddenly awkwardly competitive.
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2025 Posted July 23, 2025 So many infielders now move to play the ball to the side rather than play the ball in front of them. I'm "old school" like Keith, I was taught to get in front of any ball you could, so that even if you didn't field it cleanly you could knock it down and still make the play. The Ole play by Baty has helped to set up this inning for the Angels.**I don't know how to make the acute accent on the e of ole.
