F him. I know what he did for the Mets and how great he was and I remember the error. You do too: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/daniel-murphy-and-the-costliest-errors-in-world-series-history/https://blogs.fangraphs.com/daniel-murphy-and-the-costliest-errors-in-world-series-history/ I wish that he was a Met for 3 more years instead of a National but that's life with the Mets. He destroyed the but Mets but he didn't help them win one playoff series. Still, good for him but F him. Matz is a damn hero for buzzing his dancing-out-of-dugout, homophobic noggin.

Cano misses the opportunity to unite Mets and MFY fans in booing him tomorrow.

https://sportsinfosolutionsblog.com/2019/06/07/mlbs-best-positioned-infields/https://sportsinfosolutionsblog.com/2019/06/07/mlbs-best-positioned-infields/ This was a point of emphasis for Brodie Van Ego--all spring I saw DiSarcina position the IF and Rojas position the OF. Whenever a ball would just get through or fall-in the coaches would meet to discuss. Yet, they still are bad at it.

I thought that this was a discussion of one of the new "Black Mirror" episodes.

Which All-Star gets the call from Syracuse to replace Gagnon tomorrow? O'Rourke and Sewald pitched tonight. Such choices!

Drew Gagnon--Syracuse is calling. Another awful Mets reliever and Brodie Van Ego has done nothing to fix the problem. And the same shitty reliever starts a scuffle because of his ineptitude. Jacob Rahme approves.

I like the guys' tee shirt. I'm not wild about the yukking it up in the 8th inning and losing by a run in a deGrom start. http://teenavisport.com/product/new-york-mets-your-wife-my-wife/http://teenavisport.com/product/new-york-mets-your-wife-my-wife/

YES! I did not expect that, especially off the bat.

JD Davis for Dom? All they needed was a flyball and I'd trust Dom, even against a LHP, more than JD.

Edgy MD wrote: Wow, what a goofy sac bunt. Sandoval should have had that in his back pocket. Shame that Gomez didn't run hard right away.

Ugh. Remember in the 1st, after the back-to-back, when the Mets had 1st and 2nd, none out? Should have put it away right away.

The Nationals win so a Mets loss and they will be in 4th place and behind WSH despite that 4 game sweep. F'in Mets. "Come get us", said Brodie Van Ego. THEY HAVE.

Mickey and Gsellman should be anywhere else by 7:10 tomorrow.

Worth reading. Apparently, and I know this is hard to believe, the Mets had a smart and savvy draft strategy: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/mets-high-risk-play-for-matthew-allan-headlines-day-2/https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/mets-high-risk-play-for-matthew-allan-headlines-day-2/

Big move by the Mets in Round 3, taking a HS pitcher projected as a 1st rounder but was thought to be college-bound. Hopefully Brodie knows something. These comments are from The Athletic, the 1st from Jim Bowden who has Allan as the 4th best pitcher in the draft, the 2d from the Nationals reporter who projected him as a 1st rounder in their mock. [bLOCKQUOTE]Matthew Allan, RHP, Seminole HS (Sanford, Fla.) Age: 18 Height: 6-3 Weight: 210 Bats: R Throws: R FB: 60 CB: 60 CH: 45 CTL: 55 CMND: 50 Allan has one of the best arms of all the high school pitchers in this draft, with a clean delivery and solid arm action. His solid frame gives him a good downward plane on his pitches. His arsenal includes a mid-90s fastball and a knee-buckling 12-6 curve. He'll flash an occasional changeup, but right now it is too hard and needs work. He has as high a ceiling as any pitcher in this draft, and he has committed to the University of Florida if he doesn't sign. ... I still see Washington going with a pitcher here. Allan is rated by many scouting services as the top high school pitcher in this draft. He has a classic starter's frame at 6-3, 210 and a fastball that already reaches the mid-90s. He's also an excellent athlete. [/bLOCKQUOTE]

That was a surprise but with a name like Baty, he's got to be good. From The Athletic, this is from the Pirates writer who thought that Pittsburgh would take him. Brett Baty, 3B, Lake Travis High School The Pirates are starved for power at every level of their system, including in the majors. Baty is a big (6-foot-3, 218 pounds), powerful Texas high schooler and UT commit who might end up switching to first base by the time he reaches the majors. Hmm … sounds a lot like Josh Bell. A lefty batter, Baty can hit for power to all fields. A third baseman at Lake Travis High School, Baty will turn 20 in November, which is old for a prep player, but his 70-grade power and plus bat speed are powerful lures. From a column about HS players: Brett Baty, 3B, Lake Travis HS, Austin, Texas: If you looked up “third baseman from Texas” on Wikipedia, you'd find a Commons photo of Baty, a big horse with 70-grade power from the left side and plenty of offensive polish. Doubters wonder if Baty can stay at third base but he's made enough progress with the glove this spring that it is at least possible. He's a Texas signee. One negative: he's already 19 years old, which will turn off some evaluators. Projection: mid-to-late first round.

Final Mocks: ESPN - LHP Zack Thompson Baseball America - LHP Zack Thompson Jim Callis (MLB) - LHP Zack Thompson Jonathan Mayo (MLB) - OF Hunter Bishop Fangraphs - SS Bryson Stott Perfect Game - LHP Zack Thompson

Zack Thompson has had elbow issues. One tweeter notes that Bishop's PAC-12 (tougher competition) stats are out-of-whack with his total numbers: Al Leiter's son should be a 1st-rounder. Here is Jim Bowden in The Athletic on the 3 players identified as possibilities for the Mets in Fangraphs: [bLOCKQUOTE]Zack Thompson, LHP, Kentucky Age: 21 Height: 6-3 Weight: 223 Bats: L Throws: L FB: 55 CB: 50 SLI: 55 CH: 50 CTL: 50 CMND: 50 Thompson has a 92-95 mph fastball with above-average running life. He also throws a nasty but inconsistent hard slider with mid-80s velocity and a slow-developing curveball. He occasionally mixes in a changeup. According to multiple teams I spoke with, he has an above-average spin rate on both of his breaking balls. He's had a lot of medical questions in his college career, specifically issues with his elbow, but clubs seem to be convinced that it shouldn't be a barrier to taking him in the first round. This spring, he was filling up the strike zone more than ever and was able to show his durability by making every start without any early exits.[/bLOCKQUOTE] [bLOCKQUOTE]Hunter Bishop, OF, Arizona State Age: 20 Height: 6-5 Weight: 210 Bats: L Throws: R HIT: 50 PWR: 65 RUN: 60 ARM: 50 FLD: 50 Bishop was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the June 2016 Amateur Draft but decided to go to Arizona State instead. The move paid off for him: thanks to three years of adjustments, his hit tool took off this year. The left-handed hitter's calling card has always been his combination of speed and power that has evaluators believing he could join the 30/30 club someday. More importantly, the development of his bat tool has put him in the top of this year's draft class. Bishop's work ethic, mental toughness and competitiveness are definitely difference-making qualities.[/bLOCKQUOTE] [bLOCKQUOTE]Bryson Stott, SS, UNLV Age: 21 Height: 6-3 Weight: 205 Bats: L Throws: R HIT: 55 PWR: 50 RUN: 50 ARM: 55 FLD: 55 Stott is a solid defensive shortstop with an above-average, accurate arm. He flashes solid leather with average range to both sides. At the plate, he demonstrates solid contact and barrel awareness with the potential of having at least major-league average type power. He's an average to above-average runner with usable speed. There is very little risk him in developing into an everyday winning shortstop at the major-league level.[/bLOCKQUOTE]

We lost power after the 7th (insert obvious Mets joke here) so I missed the last 2 innings. Thank you, PEPCO!

Aaron Altherr's Dad comes to the game in the state where Gabby Gifford was shot in an NRA hat. Wonderful.

You know things are bad when "now a word from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center" is better than the game.
