Thanks Ben for reminding he was still unadopted. He was the Mets only Futures Game representative, and tossed a scoreless inning. He's a 2023 draftee and has pitched at both A and AA this year. His combined record is: 6-1 1.71 ERA 73.2IP 42H 28BB 85K. Go get 'em kid. Make me proud. Later
Mike won again last night, raising his record to 4-5. The numbers: 6.0IP 6H 2R 2ER 0BB 5K 1HR and he lowered his season's ERA to 5.94. Nothing spectacular, but showing some consistency over his last few starts. Later
Pitchers I adopt either get hurt (Szapucki and Ziegler) or lose their stuff(Vasil). I have room at the table due to Zeigler's injury, but I'll pass to protect Brandon's career. But if nobody else adopts him, I will. Later
Named Mets Minor League pitcher of the week by Amazin' Avenue. https://www.amazinavenue.com/2024/7/2/24190743/mets-minor-league-players-of-the-week-week-thirteen-of-carlos-cortes-rhp-jonah-tong Later
My kid had a milestone today - his first blown save. He also took the loss, dropping his record to 2-4. His game numbers: 3.2IP 4H 4R 1ER 3BB 3K 0HR and his season ERA is now 7.08 He needs an intervention. Later
The intrusion of gamblers into MLB is becoming a problem - with threats: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2024/06/09/mlb-players-starting-to-fear-for-their-safety-from-gamblers/74028741007/ Later
Couldn't read the WSJ article (paywall) but I had read he did it while on the IL. Didn't he think the rules still applied? The rules are posted on every major and minor league clubhouse and reviewed every Spring Training. There is no excuse. Later
