Blue Jay Way -- Mets @ Toronto IGT, 6/29/26

[Frayed Knot]

Mets trying to see if they suck in all countries or just their own. Blue Jays, meanwhile, are just happy to see a team from somewhere other than Texas as they're currently riding a six-game losing streak [Astros x 2, Rangers x 4] all of it at home. All of which means that the team which was a play or two away from a WS championship on multiple occasions last October is now sitting in 3rd place in the AL East at 39 - 45

Game one: Monday 7:07 PM (I think that's 7:10 but altered by the exchange rate). Sean Manaea vs Trey Yesavage

Yesavage, the big 22 y/o hard-throwing righty who made a splash during last year's post-season. He pitched six games last October, starting five, despite not making his ML debut until mid-September. He's pitching reasonably well this year with a 3.56 ERA in 11 starts. He's stingy with hits [6.1/9] and keeps the ball in the park [0.9 HR/9] but will walk more than his share [4.5/9] and his K-rate is down a chunk from last year [8.6/9 from 10.3 last year]

You beat me to it

Yes, he is a savage

7:07 start, like the airplane not the exchange rate

They measure their gas in liters, measure home runs in meters and temperature in Celsius. When they announce the attendance, I wonder if that will be in American numbers.

 

If the Mets gat some wins in this series, will they be allowed to bring them back into the States without paying  tariff?

Oh that's friggin horrible

Little League inside the park homer

Soto looked silly, Benge also

Mets baseball 2026

[The Hot Corner]

Well, it didn't take long for the Keystone Mets defensive deficiencies to show up.  Totally unacceptable.

[Frayed Knot]

Benge leading off the 1st with a K is the only out so far that WASN'T w/a RiSP. It's tough to be 0-for-5 w/RiSP after just two innings but this team managed to do so quite easily.

FO - FO // FO - PO - FO

[Edgy MD]

I didn't think Myles Straw could be doubled up.

[Frayed Knot]

Alas, Myles Straw, NOT from Wichita.

[Edgy MD]

Who among us hasn't gotten a pitch-com earpiece jammed in our ear canals?

[Edgy MD]

Ernie Clement is from Rochester, which is a pretty Canadian place.

Except, of course, it's colder.

[Frayed Knot]

I'd certainly bet on it being snowier than Toronto sitting there on the south side of the lake.

[Edgy MD]

It is.

Apart from the break for ear surgery, this game is moving along quickly.

[ashie62]

Booth says Soto has been a solid leftfielder

[ashie62]

Rochester is 80 miles south of Niagara Falls. My uncle went to RPI. Great hockey teams

[Edgy MD]

This is a game of hard rips by both teams finding outfielders' gloves.

[ashie62]

But not Soto's glove

[Edgy MD]

Well, in fairness, Soto has caught a few rips too.

Springer's challenge has to be one of the worst cases I've seen appealed yet.

[Edgy MD]

Challenge that shit, Carson.

RPI is Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and is, not surprisingly, in Rensellaer, NY (near Albany)

You may be thinking of R.I.T, Rochester Institute of Technology

[Edgy MD]

This is a good hook.  Manaea shlubbed that last pitch in there.

[Frayed Knot]

Two outs/nobody on, then an error followed by two walks.

[Edgy MD]

That said, Warren ain't my first choice.

We may need to convene a commission to examine Green's selection, but I'm not sure what we should call it.

[Edgy MD]

Cool to see Eric Langill going into a crouch to warm up a reliever in the bullpen, and then look up and catch Lindor's homer, while scarcely moving.

[Edgy MD]

Under my hit-by-pitch reform rules, AJ Ewing would get two bases there for being hit by ball four.

I meant RPI by Albany and my family's home base in Schenectady 

Congrats!!

[ashie62]

They pulled Yesavage because Baty is coming up. That's humourous
