  1. Albert and Willie; Willie and Ralph; and http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2021/05/07/eventful-confluences-now-and-then/so forth.
  2. Before the word existed Pujols was an influencer. His hitting mechanics were so efficient and his strike of the baseball was so pure and consistent that coaches and players used him as a template. But like Koufax's curveball and Ruth's swing, few came even close to duplicating Pujols's results. Pujols and Hank Aaron are the only players with 600 homers, 600 doubles and 3,000 hits. Tom Verducci pays tribute: https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/05/07/albert-pujols-greatness-cardinals-angelshttps://www.si.com/mlb/2021/05/07/albert-pujols-greatness-cardinals-angels
  3. Del Crandall, the last Boston Brave and a champion in Milwaukee in 1957, 91.
  4. Albert Pujols released. 41 years old, 667 home runs. DFA'd, actually.
  5. A Polar Bear greeting within.
  6. 1,125. Jose Peraza 1,126. Patrick Mazeika 1,127. Jordan Yamamoto
  7. 176. Jose Peraza 05/05/2021
  8. Any word on deGrom?
  9. Nimmo to IL. Mazeika is brought up, presumably to tease him some more.
  10. McNeil 2B Alonso 1B Conforto RF D. Smith LF Pillar CF Villar SS Peraza 3B Nido C Castro RHP Lindor rests. Peraza becomes Mets third baseman No. 176. Castro will not be available in the late innings, apparently.
  11. John Means with the (almost) perfect tribute to Miller.
  12. The 1997 New York Mets Hall of Famer has been elected in 2021 to the St. Louis Cardinals' version.
  13. Ray Miller, well-regarded pitching coach (who also managed), 75.
  14. [TWEET] [/TWEET]
  15. Hottest hitter bats cleanup. Coldest hitter bats leadoff. Lindor SS Alonso 1B Conforto RF Pillar LF McNeil 2B McCann C Villar 3B Almora CF Stroman RHP
  16. Reid-Foley Reid-Materializes as the 27th fellow.
  17. Willie Mays turns 90 on May 6 (Thursday). His biographer has a marvelous essay in the Times. He was particularly close to Seaver, who as a college player noticed that Mays didn't button the top of his jersey, so Seaver never buttoned the top of his. They became teammates when Mays was traded to the Mets in 1972, and before each game Seaver started, Mays asked him how he was going to pitch each hitter. As the game progressed, Seaver discreetly signaled to Mays in center what adjustments he was making on the mound, and Mays repositioned himself accordingly. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/05/sports/baseball/willie-mays-90.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/05/sports/baseball/willie-mays-90.html
  18. No IL for deGrom. No throwing for a couple of days, either. “Inflammation” in the right lat, the MRI showed, per the Mets.
  19. Reid-Foley down, Yamamoto up.
