Not having anybody up in the bullpen in the late innings of deGrom's two-hitter was Rojas's best move yet. For that alone he can stick around to at least the end of the homestand.
=batmagadanleadoff post_id=61973 time=1619234386 user_id=68] Quiz time: deGrom's game score tonight is 98. The Mets all-!time highest game score for a nine inning game is 99 by _____________. Guess the pitcher and include some game description or detail.
Tom Veducci asserts Bruce was commonly shafted by shifts. Seven years of evidence is enough. The shift is harming baseball and must go. The career of Jay Bruce—what it was and what it could have been—is the canary in the coal mine. It is too late for Bruce, but not for the next generation of hitters—and fans. https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/04/22/jay-bruce-retirement-shift-the-openerhttps://www.si.com/mlb/2021/04/22/jay-bruce-retirement-shift-the-opener
It was a somewhat less awful loss if you could hear it described http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2021/04/22/as-bob-murphy-mightve-called-it/in Bob Murphy's voice.
Neil may have been the only Met to appear on an episode of American Masters. He's seen greeting Itzhak Perlman prior to Perlman playing the national anthem as the 2016 Subway Series is getting underway. Perlman compliments him on the homer he hit to beat the Rockies the day before.
If the kid who makes those visual data graphics tracking all-time category leaders' progress through the years created one for my favorite current Mets, it would have Stroman zipping up the chart today.
