    So much for creeping back into the race.

    Senga has been demoted to the bullpen. This is from David Lennon, in Newsday: “He understand where we are as a team,” manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday morning. “He knows that he hasn’t been at his best. He’s been dealing with injuries and all that, but he knows he’s more than capable to continue to help the team win baseball games.” That’s debatable. A demotion to the bullpen, in what figures to be a mop-up role, is the last stop for an irreparable starter. Senga wasn’t sent there to help the Mets -- he’s being stashed in a less damaging role as they figure out what to do with him down the road. Senga is earning $15 million this season and is due another $15 million in 2027, the final year of his five-year, $75 million contract. Combined with his poor performance, Senga is a roster nightmare, begging the question of how long the Mets can afford to keep him around.

    I read that Lindor will be activated between games, so somebody on the roster for Game 1 won't be there for Game 2.

    He's been a tremendous disappointment, especially since the Mets farted around for two or three years waiting for him to be available. And on top of that, they got better results by farting around.

    I remember learning about that from the back of a baseball card.

    They're also getting a lot less of my attention,
  8. Benjamin Grimm
    That's what we have to hang our hats on.

    The best scenario is that he's a superstar for the Mets for the next nine or ten years.

    That's certainly true. The last time I went to a Phillies home game (in 2019) we ended up parking in the Eagles' lot. I haven't been paying attention to such things. I wonder if the Phillies' schedule is coordinated so they don't play home games when the Eagles do? I suppose that can be done for regular season games, but if the Phillies are playing in October there might be times when there's a conflict.

    Why is there a Friday off day?

    I did better than I thought I would in today's category, hits in the 2010 decade. And here are my full results from yesterday's game:
  13. Benjamin Grimm
    My best score was 97. My misses were 115, 135, and 206. I got seven of the top ten, missing 1, 3, and 8. I had number 3 in the on-deck circle when I struck out.
  14. Benjamin Grimm
    Thanks for sharing it! I enjoyed it and will continue to play each day.

    I've learned to ignore the polls. Every time I vote, my vote is the first vote cast, even in polls that I've voted in before. It seems pointless.
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    I just saw the score. Reds with four in the bottom of the first. Another evening when I'm not going to bother with the Mets.
  18. Benjamin Grimm
    My first glance at the score and the Mets are down 9-0. They won't be part of my evening.
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    I don't remember their contract statuses, and I'm not going to look it up right now, but I hope we're free of both Polanco and Robert after this season.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    Geez, I forgot all about Mauricio! I agree that I'd rather go with Baty/Vientos/Mauricio and save $40 million.
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    Wanting him to opt out would imply that they had a plan in mind for their 2027 third baseman. Maybe they do, but I'm not sure who that would have been. They hadn't traded Jett Williams yet, but they most likely had already decided that they were willing to do so. Maybe they were thinking Baty or Vientos? I'm dubious about that. But if not them, who else?
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    I agree with that, both for Bichette and Peralta. Of course, both may end up somehow being long-term Mets, but they both seemed like full-year rentals for the glory of 2026. Stearns appears to be a guy who likes to make substantial roster changes each season. That hasn't helped the Mets win, and it doesn't help with fan engagement. If this keeps up they may very well lose me.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    It's nice to be rewarded for having vomited in the distant past!
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    I turned on the game just in time to see Soto bunt into a force at third with two runners on.
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    Maybe the Mets can hire Jeff Hostetler as their manager.
