[Edgy MD]

All the members of the Wagaman Army out at the ballpark today will be disappointed to see him replaced on the Mets' roster and in the Mets lineup by some guy named Soto.

Nice to see Soto back 

[ashie62]

Got to love the Soto

We especially need him for the Mets to win out

So does this mean Lindor's next injury happens today, or does he at least get to finish out the weekend before going down for the rest of the season during the next series vs TBR since there's apparently a ban against those two playing too many games together. It'll probably wait until they're in Tmp/St Pete. Lindor lives in Florida so he can just go straight home from there and then greet everyone else as they arrive next February.

[MFS62]

Your sarcasm is extremely warranted. Those guys haven't exactly been a dynamic duo as often as we'd hoped.

Who fucking edited my thread title?

[Frayed Knot]

Bennett Sousa is the Astros 'opener' today. So on days when he is in the pen and the manager wants him to get warmed up does he use the  ... wait for it ... Sousaphone?

(sigh) 27-0 STARTS... TODAY.

I fully expect a September to remember.

That BUILD, BABY, BUILD! sign behind home plate is referencing one of the president's campaign slogans, and therefore I reject The Haugland Group and their products and services.

[Edgy MD]

I also reject Baty getting owned by the high heat.

[Edgy MD]

I reject Soto re-injuring his leg.

[Edgy MD]

Re-injured Soto is good stuff!

Get your act together, Mets.  You are the better team here.

[Frayed Knot]

Back to back hits by Lindor and Soto ... for at least the third time this year.

[Edgy MD]

Jared Young just pulled within one of the team-lead in triples.

He is also pulling away in the team lead in the Where would we be without this guy? race.

[kcmets]

Everybody hits, everybody scores!

Found our first baseman?

 

[Frayed Knot]

I think at worst he's half of a 1B/DH platoon plus a defensive replacement (depending on who the other half is) and a dangerous late bat off the bench.

[Frayed Knot]

No way that's interference in my book. oe: and it's not

Yeah, Gary, he went past the base, but not until after the throw was away.

Let's not get too picky about that sort of thing.

[Edgy MD]

2027 is a long way away.  He plays third, too.

But this game first.

[Edgy MD]

And hey, hey, hey!  One out away!

We got us a ballhawk.

[Edgy MD]

Only guy who touched a batted ball in that last inning was Ewing.

I was at today’s game. It was my third game this year and I went 3-0 (all Maclean starts). I also went 3-0 last year and the year before plus the last game I went to in 2023. I have, therefore, a 10 game winning streak.

The organization loves your productivity, cal, but your availability the last two seasons has been real issue.

Also, it's been a stinky time for the Nats to be on a modest win streak.  Can one of you who's not as hot as cal take in a game or two in Washington?
