  1. Yikes. Gotta catch that throw Lindor.
  2. Homeplate blue is clueless
  3.

And they're trading for pitching because they put RH Grant Holmes on the IL which means that the team's season opening five-man rotation are now ALL on the IL: Chris Sale (60 Day IL), Reynaldo Lopez (60), Spencer Schwellenbach (60), AJ Smith-Schawver (60), and now Holmes on the 15-Day IL (at least for now). They do still have Spencer Strider active although he didn't debut until Game #18 of the season this year due to injuries from last year. I have a tough time understanding this one. Why bother?
  4. Sweeps are never easy. Anyway. Job done!
  5. Line drive to Taylor. We get through it. But some questionable decision making.
  6. And now the lefty has to face Bailey. Such a dumb move.
  7. Seems unnecessary to bring in Raley to face Wilmer rather than leave Garret to face Smith.
  8. Griffin Herring is a fun name too. It’s like the name Griffin Canning would put on his fake ID.
  9. Wow. Great job. I would have pulled him 3 batters ago. Nice job by Mendoza.
  10. Wow. Big pitch. Mendy leaving him in at 100+ pitches.
  11. Big popup there. But agree. Don't let him face Devers.
  12. Clay Holmes can you not
  13. You're not missing anything. Stupid Yankee bullpen can't get anyone out.
  14. Omg. This fucking Yankee bullpen.
  15. Jordan Romano in. So MFYs have a chance.
  16. Stupid Fucking Yankees. I hate rooting for them and I hate that Philly is winning.
  17. We used to have Juan Soto. Now we have two Sotos. [/dad joke]
  18. Throws hard. Walks a ton of people. 3.98 ERA and WHIP of 1.294. This might the best we can hope from him. He had a WHIP of 1.566 in 2024.
  19. I think this is right. But of the guys who are available, other than Suarez, which guys are better than what we have?
  20. If I had to guess without looking, I'd say the Mets winning percentage in SF would be around .125. I'd guess we do a little better in LA. And might be above .500 against the Padres.
  21. For the lineup, let's say we have five possible spots where we can upgrade: 1. Catcher. Not happening. No one is better. 2. Centerfield. Lots of guys better than Taylor. Are any better than McNeil/Nimmo/Taylor? Not for nothing, but Drew Gilbert has like a .900 OPS his last 30 days at Syracuse. Maybe he's finally healthy? 3. Second Base. Is anyone available that's better than Baty/McNeil? Baty is up to a .723 OPS overall. It's not great, but not terrible. He's been doing the every other month thing. Bad April, torrid May, ice cold June, hot July. 4. Third Base. There's Eugenio Suarez. Are we willing to give up a top prospect to get him? I guess this is where we can see the most improvement. Both Mauricio and Vientos are in the mid 600s OPS. 5. DH. Lots of options here, I guess. But we also have Winker and Marte coming back. How many of the options are better than them? And if we keep everyone, how do we figure out playing time?
  22. I have a hard time believing David Stearns will give up Jett Williams for a relief pitcher. Even one as good as Clase. This trade deadline has me all sorts of confused. I think they'll upgrade the pen, but not with someone as good as Clase. I don't think they'll upgrade the rotation, unless they decide to add a back end starter and move Holmes to the bullpen. The lineup is even harder to figure out. Considering McNeil has been ok at CF, what options are there that are necessarily better than him out there?
  23. Boston holds on. The Phillies blow a 5-0 lead and drop out of first place.
