Diamondbacks (Gallen) vs Mets (Peralta): 4/7/26, 4:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Alright, now the Diamondbacks. I really don't know what to think of them this season. Interesting matchup for the Mets. Is Gallen actually over his very bad, terrible, awful 2025?

No idea! Where's the KTE when we need one.

I like the pitches by the pen last 5 days thing. 

[seawolf17]

Oh, yes! I loved the KTEs.

[Edgy MD]

Anybody who wants to pick up the KTE mantle is implored to do so.  We can turn it into front-page content here.

Four switchies in the Diamondback lineup.

What is KTE?

[Benjamin Grimm]

"Know Thy Enemy" (Or is it "Thine Enemy?") 

It was traditionally a report about whatever we might need to know about a Mets opponent at the start of a series.

[metirish]

I would like to do one , please no AI nonsense though

[whippoorwill]

I offered on the old one but no one responded so I took it down. 
no I’m not reoffering ; just commenting 

[Edgy MD]

Let's go!  Irish can give us a preview of the Athletics, and (if she re-offers) cooby can give us a preview of the Dodgers.

More in line with the IGT here, how about Baty starting in right and bumping Benge to left!  That's some faith in Baty's arm, right there!

[Edgy MD]

FATE: Imma fuck up Soto's leg.

METS: OhmyGOD!  Badly?

FATE: Possibly.  You won't really know.

METS: Well, we're going to put him on the injured list until we're ABSOLUTELY sure he's 100%.  Then we'll keep him out of games for two weeks after that.

FATE: Imma also fuck up Polanco's leg.

METS: You know?  Let's just keep running him out there and see what happens.

[Lefty Specialist]

Keef!

[duan]

Why does mlb.tv wait right until the 1st pitch to join …. 

[Edgy MD]

The Diamondbacks have replaced their sand-colored outlines with turquoise ... and ugh.

[Edgy MD]

Man, it breaks my heart to see a ball clank off of Arenado.

No, I will do the Pirates because that’s who I was going to do lol

plus I watch them a lot so I have ‘insider info’ 🙂

[Edgy MD]

After scoring, Lindor goes over to feed info to Vientos.

That's always good stuff.

Pirates it is.  August 7-9.  Looking forward to it.

[Lefty Specialist]

Bases loaded no outs, getting at least one was mandatory there.

[Edgy MD]

Tim Leiper puts up the stop sign, and the fates had other ideas.

Did Edgy, our friendly neighborhood grammarian, ever make a ruling on that? I forget.

Later

[The Hot Corner]

Walks (and errors) kill.  Luckily, the Mets were the benefactors of Arizona's mistakes.

2-0 Mets through 2 complete

[metirish]

What a disappointment Peralta 

[Lefty Specialist]

Arrgh.  That HBP was atrocious.

[Lefty Specialist]

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.

[Lefty Specialist]

Double Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh. 3-2 Snakes.

[Lefty Specialist]

That ABS call got into Brazoban's head.

[Edgy MD]

This isn't right.  I went out to walk the dogs with a 2-0 lead and come back to a 3-2 deficit.

Who was in charge while I was gone?

[whippoorwill]

Your dogs need to stay in place!

[Centerfield]

Disappointing for the bats to go so cold after a good road trip. Two chances to turn it around. 

[Centerfield]

Ok Loaisiga is hittable. Let’s get him.
