Week ending April 6, 2024: Tyrone Taylor, 4.04 points. Week ending April 13, 2024: Pete Alonso, 7.50 points. Week ending April 20, 2024: Starling Marte, 7.12 points. Week ending April 27, 2024: Francisco Lindor, 4.71 points.

I don't think I'm going to be good at this one. The only Mets I can think of from Alabama are Cleon Jones and Tommie Agee, and I'm not sure either of them went to college.

He was the Schaefer Mets Bench Player of the Month three times, so he has what is probably a disproportionate number of 1970s baseball cards: https://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JordanyValdespin1973.jpg> https://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JordannyValdespin1974.jpg> https://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JordanyValdespin1978.jpg> Only Dominic Smith (6 times) and Wilmer Flores (5) have won it more often. Jordany's three ties him with Fernando Tatis, Daniel Murphy, Eric Campbell, and Kelly Johnson.

And I'm eligible to be the next pope.

Maybe the Mets are sufficiently satisfied with the current statuses of some combination of Senga, Megill, Peterson, and Scott that they feel they can spare Kranick. Or maybe they're confident that they can stash him in Syracuse after the DFA.

I share your skepticism. My guess is that if the winning run scores from first, and the batter/runner touches third base, he gets credited (incorrectly) with a triple, whether or not he got there before the run scored.

This game was only the fourth time in Mets history that a game ended with a walkoff triple. Three of the four games that ended with a three-base hit were losses for the Mets: June 24, 1968: Lee May of the Reds at Crosley Field. (Reds 6, Mets 5, 11 innings) June 19, 1980: Jack Clark of the Giants at Candlestick. (Giants 4, Mets 3, 10 innings) May 5, 2024: Jonny DeLuca of the Rays at Tropicana Field. (Rays 7, Mets 6, 10 innings.) And the one win: September 10, 1970. Cleon Jones of the Mets at Shea. (Mets 3, Phillies 2, 14 innings)

45: I first think of Tug. Then Pedro. Then, after a moment, Franco and Wheeler.

Voting for all games played in the month of April will close on Wednesday, May 8. If there are any games that you haven't yet voted for, and intend to, please try to do so over the next seven days. I'll post a "final reminder" on Monday, but I'll post this mini reminder as we head into the weekend. All games through April 29 have seven or eight votes, which might be just about everybody, but the game of the 30th is still a little light. There are still at least a few uncast votes. Please be sure to do your civic duty, Judy!

I had Vida Blue for Royals/A's. I never had a chance to guess for Royals/Indians because I wasted the Oakland Gold Glove on Bert Campaneris before pivoting to Rickey Henderson. I always pick Ron Darling for A's/Nationals. I see I'm not the only one.

I'm really glad that Lindor was well enough to enter the game.

Nice comeback happening here!

Can Jose Iglesias pitch?

Ugh to three-run homers from the opposing team.

Can we trade him for Zach Short?
