[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Those might be your best cards yet in terms of matching the pose with the year the card was issued -- and the bar already was very, very high. Simply spectacular.

Great work BG. Noah joins Met greats Alay Soler and Tim Redding as one-time winners.

Thanks! Matching the photo with the year is something I always try to do, and it's nice to know that it's noticed.

Holy pitching dominant months Batman!
Starters wind up 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, & 8th

[Guest themetfairy]

Superlative work BG, as always!

Soup appears confused as to what he did to earn Bench Player of the Month honors. I vaguely recall a useful pinch-hit.

Syndergaard looks very much at home in 1977.

I have a feeling that I'll remember Noah better than Soler or Redding.

He had all the other bench players have an even worse month than he did and had Nieuwenhuis earn all his points during that short stint when he was a starter (hell, he earned most of his points in one game)

[Benjamin Grimm]

Soup appears confused as to what he did to earn Bench Player of the Month honors. I vaguely recall a useful pinch-hit.

Eric Campbell earned his 1.68 bench points in three games in July:

July 19: 0.37 points. Bunted home an insurance run in the top of the 18th.
July 21: 1.14 points. 2-run pinch single in the 7th.
July 29: 0.17 points. Pinch single.

BENCH POINTS FOR JULY 2015

1 Eric Campbell 1.68
2 Juan Uribe 1.60
3 Curtis Granderson 1.17
4 Danny Muno 0.50
5 Juan Lagares 0.18
6 Lucas Duda 0.16
7 Kirk Nieuwenhuis 0.03

It generally doesn't take a lot of points to win the Bench award. Darrell Ceciliani won with 1.21 points in June. In May, Johnny Monell won with 1.65 points, and in April Curtis Granderson only needed 0.70 points.

The record was set in July 2012, when Jordany Valdespin earned 9.03 points off the bench. Also of note: Scott Hairston, June 2012, 7.64 points; Marlon Anderson, August 2007, 7.17 points; Scott Hairston, July 2011, 6.56 points; and Jordany Valdespin, May 2013, 5.05 points.
