I wonder if Senger is still stacking shelfs between call ups 

[Centerfield]

This is a BIG GAME. 

[Centerfield]

Also. I know we don’t have many options. But it’s hard to score runs trotting out Marcus Semien and backup catchers in the same lineup. But it looks like the Mets will be doing this for the next two months minimum.

Vidal Bruján appreciates the love.

Possibly in the off-season, but I doubt it.  The MLB minimum salary is $780,000 for 2026.  That breaks down to $4,814.81 per game.  If a player fills n for 10 games when someone is on the DL, they have a great 2 weeks.  With Alvarez expected to be out a minimum of 6 weeks, Senger should not need to stock shelves at the grocery store any time soon.

[Edgy MD]

Gets an MLB salary just for being on the 40.

Those shelves aren't going to stock themselves, of course.

[The Hot Corner]

Tigers take a quick 3-0 lead on a three run HR by Gage Workman.  

[The Hot Corner]

The Mets need to do something about batters challenging calls.  Bichette gets fouled on a pitch for strike three and immediately challenges.  The pitch was "a pitcher's pitch" and easily a strike.  So the Mets lose one challenge 2 batters into the game.

I think challenges are best used by catchers and should otherwise be reserved for egregiously bad calls.

McLean has a proclivity to throw homerun balls I believe

Feels like every outing
