    Assuming Soto’s out, I’d put Baty in left, Vientos at first, and Alvarez can DH.

    Kranepool (7) 1. Marichal Milner (6) 1. Carlton 2. Gibson Agee (7) 1. Palmer Garrett (7) 1. Jenkins Piazza (7) 1. Smoltz 2. Randy Johnson 3. Glavine Swoboda (7) Piazza never got Pedro while playing for the Mets. He has 3 against Pedro as a Dodger and 3 against Pedro as a Padre.

    I wouldn’t expect a meaningful Soto update before pregame tomorrow
  4. Gwreck
    Alvarez could’ve challenged the first walk and definitely should have challenged the second.

    Semien to forum: drop dead
  6. Gwreck
    No restriction moving that way. The restriction is standing on the outfield side of the base to prevent stealing signs/looking at the pitcher’s grip.

    It happens once to Lindor (a guy with a generally unimpeachable work ethic/leadership) and you go “ok, we’re all human.” Happens again, to another player, and you start wondering what’s wrong with the management of this team. Combined with the dumb coaching decisions, suboptimal bullpen usage, and other sloppiness in the field and one wonders about who should be managing this team.

    Semien finally gets a hit and is cheated out of an RBI because Robert doesn’t know how many outs there are…

    We’re looking for Garrett (not Clendenon); apologies for the typo. But Jenkins works for him too.

    Fair question. A Met and a victim works. Marichal is correct for Kranepool.
  15. Gwreck
    5 Mets have homered against 7 or more pitchers in the Hall of Fame: Kranepool, Agee, Garrett, Piazza, and Swoboda. EDIT: Milner had 6 victims (thus is what I get for outsourcing data). Who were the victims?

    In the last 16 seasons, the Mets have played 10 Saturday games in San Francisco: 5 day and 5 night. Want to feel old? This is the 27th season the Giants are playing at their current park.
  17. Gwreck
    More sloppy play and poor approaches at the plate continues to make Mendoza look bad.
  18. Gwreck
    In fairness, Manaea has a 0.00 ERA…

    Just repeating it’s a 6-game sample size. That said, what are the alternatives? 1. Vientos getting significantly more ABs (because Baty starts playing second regularly). -Defensive downgrade. -Not clear what we’re getting out of Vientos offensively but presumably at least a power threat. 2. Mauricio gets called up and plays second regularly (Baty keeps his current role). -Defense is a slight (?) or moderate (?) downgrade. -Mauricio had a hot spring and is clearly better than AAA but was very unimpressive last year when in the majors. 3. External options Umm, we could try to trade for McNeil? Or if the Giants don’t have a good year, Luis Arraez is on a one-year deal and could get moved at the deadline?
  20. Gwreck
    A couple of notes: 1. I admittedly don’t pay a lot of attention to the Giants but I wasn’t aware of any tradition that they played on Saturday afternoon. Their 2026 schedule has 7 starts at 1:05 Pacific, 2 at 4:15, 3 at 6:05, and 2 at 7:05. (Seems like a reasonable assortment of start times to accommodate a diverse fanbase, no?) 2. It is generally not possible for teams going out west to schedule the two LA teams back-to-back, because (a) those two teams typically don’t play at home at the same time; and (b) they play in different leagues. Same reason there are very few roadtrips that have Mets/Yankees back-to-back. (There are 2 teams that got lucky with Dodgers/Angels in consecutive series, and 1 got Mets/Yankees). There are few more teams that get SD/Dodgers back-to-back, and another couple that got SD/Angels back-to-back, but again, there aren’t enough spots for everyone to get so lucky. 3. While this is a lot of travel early, the post-June 7 schedule has only 9 games outside the Eastern time zone, with none starting later than 8 PM Eastern.
  21. Gwreck
    Cano had $48M left on the deal when cut, versus $72M for Semien right now (and the Mets of course had saved another year of money in 2021 because of the Cano’s PED suspension). Also Semien plays gold glove defense and Cano…did not. Semien at age 34 had a 3.3 WAR last year despite a .669 OPS. While the first 6 games don’t fill me with hope but the Mets aren’t going to cut bait on Semien anytime soon.
  22. Gwreck
    The offense that was relying on a Semien bounceback, Robert returning to 2023 form, Vientos returning to 2024 form, Alvarez sustaining the improvements he made post-demotion to AAA, Baty sustaining the improvements he made in 2025, and a rookie who barely played at AAA? That offense?
  23. Gwreck
    April 2010, 20 innings. I believe Pelfrey got a save. A glorious game.
  24. Gwreck
    Going to need a Soto home run here to win.
  25. Gwreck
    Weaver threw 11 pitches and after the top of the 9th, the Mets knew they would also need to pitch the 10th in order to win. I’d have left him in for the 9th. Now Williams has thrown 17 pitches in the 9th and won’t go back for the 10th, and all the good relievers have been burned.
