  1. https://www.amazon.com/1978-Baseball-America-Disco-Era/dp/1496239601https://www.amazon.com/1978-Baseball-America-Disco-Era/dp/1496239601 Greg shows up with a quip on Dave Kingman and the Mets' Midnight Massacre of the year prior. Big shot implies a Greg on the level of Luzinski.
  2. Brooks Raley has been re-signed for 2025, with a 2026 option, per Joel Sherman. He will continue rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.
  3. vs LHP Cristopher Sánchez (2-0, 2.96) Lindor SS Soto RF Alonso 1B Vientos 3B Marte DH Torrens C Taylor CF Acuña 2B Azócar LF - Canning RHP (2-1, 3.43)
  4. The autocorrect was wide awake this afternoon.
  5. Lindor SS Soto RF Alonso 1B Marte DH Nimmo LF Vientos 3B Torrens C Taylor CF Acuña 2B
  6. Helms's passing was reported (or at least first seen by me) about an hour after I filled him in as my Reds 2B Immaculate Grid answer Sunday.
  7. vs RHP Joe Ryan (1-1, 2.65) Lindor SS Soto RF Alonso 1B Nimmo LF Vientos 3B Winker DH Torrens C Taylor CF Acuña 2B - Holmes RHP (1-1, 4.30)
  8. Maybe hitting balls to deep center will work better in West Sacramento.
  9. Baty error leads to Megill scathing and exit. Kranick in.
  10. Megill struggling but unscathed. Offense not yet clicking.
  11. Today's Immaculate Grid is the perfect understated salute to one of its true legends.
  12. The Mets are wearing a 7 on their sleeves, respecting the legacy of Ed Kranepool and, perhaps, aspiring to extend their winning streak beyond six. If they each wish to play as Mets for 18 seasons, that's a good goal, too. Tylor Megill vs. Max Meyer at 1:10 PM on SNY.
  13. ESPN story... https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/44591287/ex-mlb-pitcher-octavio-dotel-dies-nightclub-roof-collapsehttps://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/44591287/ex-mlb-pitcher-octavio-dotel-dies-nightclub-roof-collapse
  14. In a modern non-Met context, I've drifted into “hey, good for them” at odd postseason intervals for the Nationals in 2019, the Marlins in 2020, and the Phillies in 2022. Which is not to say I like any of them — or the Braves ever at all (1982/1991 NL West affinity notwithstanding).
  15. He was featured on the big board to the crowd's delight last September, and I had zero idea there was any backstory beyond that young fellow appearing…interesting.
  16. At the FanFest in January, Bobby V copped, without anybody prodding him, that he should have gone to Octavio rather than Rogers in Game Six.
  17. I wrote about Dotel after he became the only 1999 Met to take part in winning a World Series in the years following that close call. My happiness for him transcended that it was for the Cardinals. https://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2011/10/29/%E2%80%9999-faltered-but-dotel-ain%E2%80%99t-done/https://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2011/10/29/%e2%80%9999-faltered-but-dotel-ain%e2%80%99t-done/
  18. Octavio Dotel died while being transferred to the hospital after the Jet Set collapse. He was 51. https://www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/former-mlb-pitcher-dies-following-dominican-night-club-collapse-reports-2057034https://www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/former-mlb-pitcher-dies-following-dominican-night-club-collapse-reports-2057034 A splendid debut with the 1999 Mets. A heckuva well-traveled career.
  19. Octavio Dotel has died.
  20. Mets seek their sixth consecutive win at 4:10 PM on SNY (or at chilly, windy Citi Field, if you dare). Connor Gillispie taking on Clay Holmes summons to mind Unit 4 + 2…which happens to add up to 6! [media=youtube]fsCcijENWWo[/media]
  21. Righty Valente Bellozo starts for the Fish tonight.
  22. Lindor SS Soto RF Alonso 1B Nimmo LF Vientos 3B Winker DH Taylor CF Acuña 2B Senger C Senga RHP
  23. Vlad Jr. doesn't need to be talked about any longer — 14-year, $500 million extension with the Blue Jays widely reported as done.
  24. Mets attempt to grow their winning streak to five versus the eternally pesky pesci, 7:10 on SNY. Senga on the mound for the homestanding New Yorkers. A yet to be announced Marlin pitcher who's not Alcantra (paternity leave) will oppose Kodai's bat-wielding teammates.
