[Edgy MD]

An Andy Green lineup card bats Lindor fourth.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I feel like the gangsta move woulda been Benge and Ewing 1-2

[Edgy MD]

It really was an opening he had that was begging for bumping Ewing up.

Rock the boat, Andy!

[Frayed Knot]

Day off for Alvarez who's been DH'ing often when not catching lately. And only the second DH assignment for Bichette all season who remains the only NYM to start every game this year now that Semien's streak is over.

[ashie62]

Andy Green looks like the type of guy they might hire, permanently 

[ashie62]

Ok, Green is here for 2026 only

[metirish]

Thornton getting hit early, no outs one run in

[ashie62]

Welcome to the Mets Andy Green

[The Hot Corner]

Well, that didn't take long.  

3 Phillies hitters open double, single, & single.  One run in already.

Ks Bohm on a perfect change.

[metirish]

Can't say enough good this things about Young , great play at first 

[metirish]

Nice from Thornton after the first three get on

[The Hot Corner]

Thornton does a good job to escape his rough opening to limit the damage to the one run.  Big assist by Jared Young snaring a hard smash to prevent further damage.

[metirish]

Hill with an amazing catch to bring a HR back from over the fence ,Soto was sure it was gone ,it was 

[Frayed Knot]

Nice finish to the top 1st considering it started with three straight rockets. I couldn't help but think that, if it were the Mets in that same situation, that smash past Lindor would have gone right AT the SS for a GiDP.

And still no white uniforms for like the 15th straight game it seems.

[Frayed Knot]

Lindor jumps up to snag a liner and doesn't come down crippled .... so there's that.

[The Hot Corner]

Some seriously good defense being played in this game.  Nice to see the Mets are taking part in it.

[Edgy MD]

That blown rundown was so Metly.

Maybe they've passed the whammy on to the Phils.

[Frayed Knot]

Obviously the fault is on the Phils, but Ewing forced matters by at least trying to stay alive in the rundown. Too many runners simply give up these days once they're trapped off the base.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets broadcasts these days don't show the angle from the foul pole to review checked-swing calls.

[Edgy MD]

Schwarber should have slid.

But the Phils have the whammy on them.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Oh to be Young again

[metirish]

I like Ewing is being aggressive 

[Edgy MD]

I don't know what the chase rates are on this team, but Baty's seems awfully high for a lefty.

[Edgy MD]

Zack Thornton, Mets Player of the Month.

[Frayed Knot]

Innings 2 thru 6 for Thornton: 0 R, 1 H, 3 K, 0 BB

And only 78 pitches thru 6 [< 90 = Good]

And, unlike many of the recent games, this one's moving along, approx 1:27 for six full

Also, that one hit was a misjudged popup off the end of the bat.

[Edgy MD]

Thorny should still be out there on the mound.

[Frayed Knot]

And Thorton's gone.
