    Maybe don't want to remove Soto for a potential 10th inning (or later) AB? Soto bats 6th in the lineup going forward.
  2. Frayed Knot
    Too late. Fulton is currently the presumptive NL front-runner. based on the last three innings.

    Lavender to the rescue ... Dilly, Dilly.

    What Gary failed to mention when he referenced the other two times a Met pitcher this year had gone perfect through five innings (McLean both times) was that we only won one of those two games. Mets had a 3-0 lead after five vs Minnesota on 4/21 but McLean couldn't finish the 6th either and the Mets lost 5 - 3. Mets beat the Giants 10 - 3 in the other game in early April.

    Manaea thru 2 innings: 0 runs / 20 pitches Alcantara thru 2 innings: 5 runs / 50 pitches

    New strategy: Everyone swing at the first pitch!!!

    Some news involving some pretty prominent players: - Yanx activate Judge off the IL list. He last played on May 31st - Ohtani "unlikely" to pitch again in 2026 although he's expected to return to the lineup tonight after sitting out four of the Dodgers' seven games so far in September.

    Back to night games for the final two of this series although note that Tuesday and Wednesday will both be at a 6:40 start So we hit one nemesis hard on Monday in Eury Pérez, now we go for two in a row as Sanday Alcantara takes the hill opposite Sean Manaea. The Marlins are playing every game hard and working their staff hard as they're still on the fringes of a WC slot. Currently they're 5th in a field of three but lost ground to both PHI & SDP with the loss on Monday. A sweep here would really damage their chances ... plus It would be nice if the Mets could ruin their post-season plans for a change, eh?

    So the Nats just lost 3 - 2 out in SD putting the Mets & Nats in a virtual 4th place NL East tie 5- 1/2 games behind Miami. The Nats [now 67 - 79] have played two extra games compared to the Mets [66 - 78] which gives the Nats a slight edge in win pct (.4589 vs .4583) Phils/Braves finished their four game series winning two each as the Phils won today 1 - 0 on an 8th inning Kyle Schwarber HR (his ML leading 43rd) and a CG / 109 pitch / 2 hit / 1 walk / 12 K performance by Jesus Luzardo. The way the Philly bullpen has been lately I would have sent him back out in the 10th and probably the 11th if the Braves tied it up. But, as good as that win was for Philly, a split favors the Braves here as they maintain the same 4-game lead they had coming into the series and have erased four games off the schedule. These two teams have a three-game set in Atlanta this coming weekend. It's Labor Day and eight teams are idle.

    Dodgers 7 - Nationals 5

    Well, credit to Gerrit Cole. Following the three (nearly four) HR barrage by the first three SD hitters, he shut them out on just 2 hits over the next 5 innings before serving up a 4th solo job to lead off the 7th. That turned out to be critical though because the Yanx scored three times in the top of the 8th but ultimately fell short 4 - 3 when Mason Miller shut the door in the 9th. The Padres, who need every game they can get for a WC slot, took two of three over the weekend.
  12. Frayed Knot
    Bottom 1st in SD for Gerritt Cole: HR (Tatis) - HR (Croenworth) - HR (Machado) - F-8 (caught by CF w/his back to the wall) - F-8 (also deep-ish) - 5 - 3 3 - 0 in favor of SD after one.

    Mets are currently winging it to Miami (well, they're probably going to shower and change first ... but soon, trust me on this one) so as to make it in time for Monday's 1:10 Labor Day first pitch. Eury Perez -- that 6' 15" guy (with the supposedly pint-sized parents) that we never seem to hit -- gets the start for Miami. This will be the third time we'll see him in 2026 with NYM bats slashing a non-impressive .119/.153/.190 off of him over the first two [a 2 - 1 Marlins win and a 4 - 2 Mets win]. For the good guys it'll be Jonah Tong!!!!! making his first start and fourth game of 2026. Last time we saw him was June 2nd when he was coughing up 4 runs in 3 innings in Seattle (so most of us probably didn't see it).
  14. Frayed Knot
    I just did. 14 up / 13 down for the bullpen. Only the Devers single off Semien's glove kept Lavander / Pintaro / Myers / Senga [1, 6, 3, 3 outs] from being perfect.
  15. Frayed Knot
    THAT deep fly after two were out was good enough.
  16. Frayed Knot
    But waited until there were two outs to get a deep fly. Mets are 5th from the bottom in Sac Flies for the season. That could be a measure of opportunity or of timing ... or both.
  17. Frayed Knot
    Well, we got Vientos into the lineup.
  18. Frayed Knot
    If Desi Relaford Nick Morabito can't steal a base what is he doing on this team?
  19. Frayed Knot
    1:40 start, Cesar Perdomo vs Christian Scott Perdomo is a 24 y/o hefty lefty (5' 10" / 219) Venezuelan making his second ML appearance. His ML debut came five days ago in relief when he threw four innings of one run / 3 hit / 1 BB / 4 K ball in a game where the Giants and Pirates combined for 25 runs so he came out smelling relatively good that day. HIs minor league track record, split this year between AA Richmond and AAA isn't anything stellar [4.43 ERA / 1.300 WHIP] but he's up because anyone else who can pitch for SFG is either on the IL or was dealt at the trading deadline. C'mon now guys, we don't want to lose a series to this crew in their current condition. You'll be dragging that scar around with you all winter.

    We've seen the best and worst of Alvarez all in his last 8 ABs: HR - Lineout - Deep FO - HR then K - K - K - followed by a 5 - 3 GO which 99% of other ML'ers beat out.
  21. Frayed Knot
    NYM pitchers have allowed four HRs by three guys who had a combined total of 15 in their collective careers coming into today. (Devers also hit two but he came into the day with 268 under his belt)
  22. Frayed Knot
    1 BB + 1 HR + 2 Ks = 0 Jumps
  23. Frayed Knot
    This sin't our last chance in this game, but it is our last best chance.
  24. Frayed Knot
    We got a hit!! We got a hit!
  25. Frayed Knot
    Probably wouldn't cheer Ronnie up much to discover that the two HRs he gave up to Derek Lilliquist in one game were the only two he ever hit.
