Braves (Perez) vs Mets (Thornton): 7/27/26, 7:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

I can't believe Martin Perez is still in the league, much less pretty good.

A chance to pitch against this Mets team could bring players out of retirement.

Later

[Edgy MD]

It's 4:44 PM and The Mets are sitting on their lineup, which I can only interpret as being related to a trade in the works.

It's the only possible explanation.

[MFS62]

I saw some rumors a few minutes ago saying Alvarez and or Torrens may be on the block (of course unsubstantiated with no mention of return). 

Later

[Edgy MD]

Kumar Rockstar pitching today for the Rangers.  And David Peterson going for the Cubbyholes.

Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens are both in the lineup.

Carson Benge, not so much.

Maybe we'll trade Marcus Semien.

[Frayed Knot]

So man on 3rd/no one out: GO, K ... so I'm guessing that NOW!!!! is the time for a deep fly out

I think I had that one.

[Frayed Knot]

The weather radar looks good starting at around 10 PM ... so there's that.

[MFS62]

If they can’t drive lindor in from third base, he’ll just do it himself.

later

[Frayed Knot]

Tough to hit a ball off the orange HR line twice in consecutive ABs (one directly, one indirectly) but Lindor managed to do it.

[Edgy MD]

Lindor's good.

Under contract for five more years, too.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets should have a Knick throw out the first pitch the rest of the season.

Good will is good will.

[Edgy MD]

You've got to let Young bat for himself here.  Polanco is a pinch-hitting option, but he's so cold.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Fuck you Jared, you pedo

[Edgy MD]

Foolish take, foolish challenge there, Youngkin.

[Edgy MD]

Send the valets home because Marcus Semien is parking!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Sim City

[Frayed Knot]

79 pitches thru 6 for Thorton. Or, as Peralta refers to 79 pitches, the top of the 3rd.

[Edgy MD]

A two-run lead is nice, but they used the A-relievers yesterday and they don't like doubling up.

Today, it's Brazobán and please hold ón.

[Edgy MD]

Austin Riley looks more every year like a righty-hitting Daniel Murphy.

He's, like, costumed up for his trip to MuffyCon.

[Edgy MD]

Two balls in a row sneaking past Albies' backhand.

[Edgy MD]

Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy.

[Frayed Knot]

You can't stop Tyrone Taylor you can only hope to contain him.  And you can't even contain him.

 

 

At this point, if T.T. doesn't bring back some team's top seventeen best prospects in a trade then we should hold onto him.

Now it's gonna be Daniel Duarte, do your parte.

I must be forgetting a game, but it feels like weeks since we've seen Kodai Senga.

[Edgy MD]

Crazy thought, but we may get a Dom Smith pitching appearance tonight.

We were at Japanese Heritage night on Friday. The posters had Matsui. Shinjo. Even Hisanori Takahashi. No sign of Senga.
