    Seven games at AA Binghamton since the deal for Amick: 5 HRs / 13 RBIs No record seen yet for Bruin Agbayani

    Also doesn't help that not a single regular in the Jays lineup has an OPS+ of over 100. Much of their roster has taken as big a dive from last season as those on the '26 Mets. A. Kirk: 110 in 2025 / 88 this season (and has missed much of the season) Vlad: 132 / 91 Daulton Varsho (traded at the deadline): 120 / 86 Nathan Lukes: 98 / 91 Springer: 159 / 95 Miles Straw: 86 / 65 And, of course, no mo' Bo: 127 in '25

    Yes Alvarez is particularly weaker with runners on (although I don't remember citing him for it specifically). But the team in general, at least as far as HRs go, hit theirs with runners-on/bases-empty in ratios consistent with the percentage of PAs of each. There was a stretch recently where a ridiculous share of HRs came with no one on -- 17 of 18 and 30 of 35 or something along those lines -- which I was tracking at the time.

    Braves pull out the finale in the Bronx. All were one run games, this one 2 - 1 in 10 I didn't see it yesterday, but Chris Sale got called for a balk with the go-ahead runner on 3rd in the 5th inning. The Braves and Walt Weiss went ballistic with Weiss getting tossed over it. So prior to the first pitch today Sale picked up the argument from the dugout and he got tossed before the game ever started.

    The problem isn't that Alvarez hits too many solo HRs (although he does) the problem is that the entire team does. But that's just a factor of not having enough base runners in the first place. MLB as a whole, this season to date, have had 43.7% of their PAs occur w/runners on and have right about the same percentage of HRs with men on: 42.2% The Mets are consistent also, but they've had just 35.9% of their PAs w/runners on with right about the same pct of HRs: 36.2%

    #2 = Rick Reed

    When I look at those bullpen names I feel like Butch and Sundance

    Back to back road series in Pittsburgh and then Cincinnati at the end of July/early August. Hmmmmmm

    I'm taking this personally that the team is so disrespecting my IGT streak.

    Stock got unlucky in the 1st inning* (after the leadoff rocket 2B anyway) but he's earned every run he's given up since. * Double off wall - K - Infield single (Bichette's fault) - HBP - Weak GO to P (only play to 1st despite bases loaded) - Squirt of a double over 3rd (just/maybe cutting the edge of the bag) - BB - FO

    4: Chan Ho Park

    Braves decide to wait until getting to the Bronx to start sucking. Actually they've lost two close games: 3 - 2 in 10 last night after Raisel Iglesias blew a save in the 9th. Today Sale and Cole hooked up (allowing 3 and 2 runs) and the Braves wound up stranding the tying run on base in the 9th in a 5 - 4 final.
  13. Frayed Knot
    And, yes, had he wound up here and immediately put up that kind of season the, 'See, he can't handle NYC', calls would currently be echoing from the Bowery to the Bronx and from South Orange to Southampton.

    OPS/OPS+ for Vladdy Jr since his rookie year in 2019 2019: 772 / 106 2020: 791 / 115 2021: 1002 / 167 [2nd MVP] 2022: 818 / 133 2023: 788 / 116 2024: 940 / 164 [6th MVP] 2025: 848 / 131 2026: 687 / 90 So while it's not like he hasn't had his ups and downs during his career (who hasn't?) this season is way out of whack particularly since he's now 27 y/o and theoretically at the peak of his skills. He's slimmed down in recent years, plays virtually every game, and has made himself a pretty good fielder after being heavier and less mobile when younger. His average 162 game season coming into this year is: 861 OPS / 136 OPS+, with 35 2Bs and 30 HRs. Now, with just over 1/4 season to go, he's on pace for around 24 2Bs and 8 HRs Baffling. Do you think he misses Bo that much?!?

    Dodgers held a 14 Game lead in the NL West following the games of July 8th exactly one month ago. And while still large and in charge, that lead is currently down to 7.5 (over ARZ, and 9.5 over SDP). Just sayin'
  16. Frayed Knot
    Sure, but at 12 at least they'd match our low-water mark.
  17. Frayed Knot
    So Ben likes 'em with big butts And with big heads apparently.
  18. Frayed Knot
    Would be fun if they got to 12 ... or even close.

    Yanx & Braves scoreless thru 6 in a duel between Max Fried pitching against his old club [3 singles, 2 BB] and Tyler Mahle: 2 doubles + 1 single and 2 walks Red Sox eked out a 13 - 1 win vs ATH, two teams going in very opposite directions.
  20. Frayed Knot
    This marks the Mets third four-game winning streak* in 2026 (I think I've IGT'd two of them now so am taking full credit for both). They've not won five in a row all year. * Games 8 thru 11 [at SFG x 3 then the first game home vs ARZ] - Games #53 thru 59 to close out May: the final game of a series vs Cincy followed by a series sweep of the Marlins (all at home).

    Another 6:40 EDT start as Robert Stock faces Pirate rookie RH'der Bing Bubba Chandler. Roy Reuben Chandler (23) was a 4th round pick by the Bucs in 2021 out of HS in Georgia. He appeared in 7 games last year but has been a full-time starter this season: 4 -8, 4.49, 1.41 His 7.7 H/9 rate is decent but BB/9 is high at 5.1 per. Expect partly cloudy and still in the mid-80s by game time with any storms not expected until after the game, 'round midnight as Charlie Parker might say.
  22. Frayed Knot
    Devin's arm is fatiguing me.
  23. Frayed Knot
    I feel safe in saying that Baty ain't making that throw ... oh wait!
  24. Frayed Knot
    Now THA'T'S where Yan should be jumping!!

    Spencer Horwitz has hit into four outs in two ABs. He's halfway to achieving a 'Torre'
