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

[Edgy MD]

Run, Taylor, run!

[metirish]

That was poor from Roberts 

[Edgy MD]

Jared Young can do stuff.

[The Hot Corner]

Aggressive base running by Taylor going 1st to 3rd on Baty's one hopper up the middle.  I was shocked the Dback CF didn't throw to third.  ZIt looked like he had a good shot of gunning Taylor down.  Glad he looked then robbed it to second.  Jared Young with a good at bat to hit the deep fly to score the run.

[Edgy MD]

Interesting that they stuck with Baty in left this time.

Yeah, I was bracing for a tight play, but I'm guessing he didn't come up with it clean.

[The Hot Corner]

Williams holds the Snakes at bay in the 9th.  Setting up the possible walkoff for the Mets.

[Edgy MD]

Wow!  Could Barrosa do that while being any cooler?

[The Hot Corner]

Damn.  I thought that was a stand up double in the gap.  Great running catch by the Arizona CF.

[Edgy MD]

Probably not the day they wanted to go to extra innings, unless one of these teams has acquired Ernie Banks.

Ronny Mauricio is going to have to win this one.

[metirish]

Some hearty souls left at this game 

[Fman99]

I'd like to see them walk it off right here mmk

[Edgy MD]

This is so set up for Mauricio.

[metirish]

Nice work from Weaver 

[Batty31]

This season I haven't watched much since I feel I bring bad luck. I turned it on 5 minutes ago so let's see if I can bring good luck for once..

[The Hot Corner]

Nice at bat bo Bichette to advance Lindor to 3rd.  Great play by Marte to keep the game alive.  

Mauricio walks it off.  Baty31 you need to hang with us more.  You bring good luck.

[metirish]

I'm so happy for Ronnie , LFGM 

[Lefty Specialist]

Good for Mauricio!  4 in a row.....

Will do! Edward just made me aware of the new forum today!

[Edgy MD]

"Some people call me the Space Cowboy."

"Some call me The Gangster of Love!"

"Yeah, well some people call me MAURICIO!"

[Edgy MD]

And the president has backed down.  Double happiness!

Excellent work. 

[Centerfield]

Edgy not the only one making good calls today. 
 

I didn’t agree with PH young for Vientos. Didn’t agree with PH Mauricio for Taylor. Both worked out great. 
 

also didn’t agree with PH Torrens on Sunday. 
 

Mendoza on a great streak. Me not so much.

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

Ehh. Isn’t Arenado a bit of a douchebag?

-Told the Cardinals after 2024 that he’d accept a trade to a very specific set of teams, the Cardinals work out a trade to one of those teams (Houston) and then Arenado says “just kidding, nope, won’t accept that.”

-Wouldn't play in 2021 in Canada because of vaccine nonsense.

-Needlessly escalated shit with the Mets in 2022 when he got a slightly-inside fastball.

Possibly.  Maybe even probably.

But his hands on defense were one of the most beautiful shows in baseball.  Seeing a zombie version still out there going bang and clang is kind of unholy.

That Arizona had ZERO LHPs in their pen was an argument in favor of both those moves.

And the (questionable) Mauricio call-up in place of Soto is at least working out well so far.

[Edgy MD]

The Mauricio callup made all sorts of sense to me.  The only other options on the roster were Hayden Senger, MJ Melendez, and Nick Morabito.

Senger is a catcher.  Melendez is 0-for-4 at Syracuse.  Morabito is hitting, but he's only got seven games above AA.

Mauricio can help.  The idea that bench time stunts development is a doctrine, not a law.  Opportunities will present themselves, especially with Mendoza avoiding lefty-on-lefty and righty-on-righty matchups late in games with several players, and pinch-running liberally for his catchers and for Polanco.
