even if it's not (yet) the 4th of July

 

A 4:10 start featuring Martin Perez for the Braves vs ... some guy in a NYM uniform, probably one to be quickly followed by another guy in the same duds. Odds favor Sean Manaea in the second role though auditions are still being conducted as to the lead. Kevin Costner has been ruled out as being too old, ditto Tom Cruise for being too short, and Brad Pitt's rate, even for just a one day appearance, is more than David Stearns is willing to pay.

Martin Perez is the now 35 y/o lefty who was once highly touted prospect with Texas in the early 20-teens. Although never quite becoming a star he has been a fairly reliable 'takes the ball' kind  of guy since his 2013 rookie season as he's wandered from the Twins to Red Sox, then back to the Rangers for their WS season. Since then he's spent brief stints with the Pirates, Padres and White Sox before landing this past off-season with the Braves. Naturally since he's in Atlanta he's off to a good start [3.02 ERA / 1.06 WHIP thru 13 G/10 starts] and sports a H/9 rate that's the lowest of his career [6.4]. I sense Mark Vientos being untied from the bench for the day.

Centerfield First Round Pick

Not likely to have Williams or Raley today. Would be nice to have Tobias Myers to slot in behind Manaea. 
 

Not feeling terribly optimistic about these last two.

Vientos, Wagaman, and Brujan all released from extended periods of internal exile!

Melendez left in there to take his hacks against the lefty!

I don't know that changing a winning lineup this much is the best idea but who am I

The Mets could use a rally cry soon like Ya Gotta Believe or something 

The Tigers have been struggling terribly and are now turning it around so there is precedent

I predict, right now, in this moment, the Mets are going to make the playoffs this year. 

I kinda feel this way also but I defer

Glad to see Ewing pinch-hitting, but curious how they will rotate him into the lineup as he is replacing Brujan.

He goes to the outfield, Melendez to first, Vientos to third, and Bichette to short?
