Adam Oller might be someone to keep an eye on in '22: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=oller-000adahttps://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=oller-000ada

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Season 8, Episode 8, "Renewal": Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) is without battery power in his phone because he used it "mining for MetsCoin. It's the first cryptocurrency that is also the Mets."

Had 'em all the way.

Wayne said that the Mets have the '21 Saves leader for 3 different teams on their roster: Diaz, Hand, and Hembree.

Thank you.

I thought that Hartlieb was DFA'd to make room for Hand. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/transactions/#month=9&year=2021&team_id=121http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/transactions/#month=9&year=2021&team_id=121 Perhaps I was handed the wrong information.

Edgy is correct.

Dodgers Stadium? It's a bot doing the work.

I was hoping the group could clarify but I'm guessing that other parks have a shorter and more curved RF corner.

Thumbs up for Pillar!

Great job by Diaz after not being great. Next C up: is McCann ready? is Nido? The C at AAA is Martin Cervenka (?) but that would require a 40-man move.

I'm not even there and it's gonna happen again.

Agreed. May may still be exhausted after his attempt at that pop-up last night.

Dom is on the Bereavement List which lasts for a minimum of 3 days and it appears that the Mets cannot replace him. Oakland put Frankie Montas on the Restricted List under the "unusual circumstances" provision for 3 days as there is a visa reason why he cannot travel with the team to TOR. He is between starts anyway so OAK uses the rule to get an extra player that they otherwise wouldn't have.

Laz Diaz is the Angel Hernandez of CB Bucknors.

[bLOCKQUOTE]Why exactly did the Mets call up prospect Khalil Lee for a single day when the team didn't even have a game? The reasoning went something like this: Due to an agreement with the Major League Baseball Players Association, teams must expand their rosters to the maximum of 28 players on Sept. 1. Adding players at that time is no longer optional. The Mets intended to use one of their extra spots on outfielder Albert Almora Jr. and the other on reliever Yennsy Díaz, who had been effective for them during previous callups. But because they optioned Díaz to Triple-A Syracuse on Aug. 23, he wasn't eligible for another call until Sept. 2. The Mets had to add someone in the interim. Their choices were either to recall reliever Geoff Hartlieb, whom they would have then demoted and had unavailable for 10 days, or Lee. So team officials contacted the rookie outfielder, telling him they planned to call him up for a single day. Lee received a day of big league pay without ever leaving Syracuse. Although Almora's presence makes Lee unlikely to see much of New York this month, he's put himself in the conversation for next year with a strong second half in the Minors, posting a .981 OPS for Syracuse in August.[/bLOCKQUOTE] https://www.mlb.com/mets/news/mets-add-brad-hand-to-active-rosterhttps://www.mlb.com/mets/news/mets-add-brad-hand-to-active-roster

If Hand pitches this weekend he will have pitched in Nationals Park this season for 3 different teams. That sounds unusual.
