I feel secure in saying that Soto wasn't going to catch that ball (2nd out of the 9th inning) nor was Nimmo. Benge starting to strut his stuff a bit more lately. So they win a series and have a winning record in May, so that's ... something.

Run with this opportunity while it exists, Vientos, you never know when that window is going to close. Prove to the world that the back half of 2024 wasn't a fluke.

If the channel carrying a particular team's games, usually meaning a regional cable outlet rather than just old fashioned over-the-air TV, is available, or potentially available, in a particular area then that area gets blacked via mlb.tv in that region. The idea is to 'protect' that channel (several of which have been on the brink of insolvency lately) by not giving potential subscribers a work-around to paying for the service. So, for example, a western Pennsylvanian fan can't get Pirates games via MLB.tv because he/she can get them through the Pirates channel. But if that same person is in an area that also has access to the Ohio sports channels then Reds & Guardians games might also be blocked.

Well he would have had the next six weeks or so of more or less everyday play, so that's out the window now. He wasn't going to 'win' the SS job no matter what he did, of course, but it would have been his steadiest playing time in the big leagues to date so it was important to him. Now I guess this means Bichette to SS, Baty is now back to being the more or less everyday 3B, while Vientos mans 1B most days. So now those two have a shot to prove they deserve more.

Dove head-first into 1st base and jammed it into the bag. Nornally not a good move, of course, but in this case it was both him and the 1B-man diving simultaneously so it wound up being (after a replay review) the only way he'd have been safe. It loaded the bases w/one out in the 7th. Unfortunately it was also the last hit they got for the night.
-
To the IL, obviously. Six weeks is the given time frame.
-
The Mets have now lost six of seven Nolan McLean starts this year despite him giving up 15 runs (13 earned) in 39.1 innings. This is a problem.
-
Mets have been shut out three times in seven ghost runner innings this season.
-
For a team that's DFL in the entire major leagues in OBA [.290] the Mets have hit into a shit-ton of GiDPs (7th of 30 teams) ... and they've hit into their share of line-drive DPs too so far.
-
Q: Do you want to pitch to Trout or any other player who ever played for the Angels ever? A: Not Trout And so it's on to the clown car rules.
-
Christopher Walken hangs around in bars giving pick-up advice to folks 1/3 his age.
-
Gary mentions "finger" as the injured body part. Meanwhile, eight straight NYM batters have gone down in a row.
-
That's five very disappointing ABs in a row beginning with the bases loaded/one out following the Mauricio IF single.
-
78 pitches thru 4, but more importantly, two of those four frames (1st & 4th) were 30+ pitches each and the 4th was a real slog.
-
And Mauricio is out of the game. Jammed hand/wrist or something of that sort.
-
The 'worst outfield ever' has 2 RBIs, two runs scored, and an outfield assists so far tonight thru six-plus innings.
-
In Pittsburgh today, all nine starters in the Pirate lineup had at least one RBI by the 4th inning as the Bucs jumped out to an early 15-3 lead en route to an eventual 17-7 win vs Cincy. 19 hits & 11 walks in 8 frames for Pitt bats.
-
No, but that's where his muscle memory leads him and it shouldn't have been a 'stretch' play.
-
And since nobody else brought it up, I will: the Mets failure to challenge the first LAA run scored is a direct result of relying on your eye-in-the-sky to decide on challenge or not rather than on an instant reaction from someone on the bench. Clearly that run doesn't count if a challenge was issued.
-
I suspect that's from how a 2B normally sets-up for a DP turn: left foot on base so as to not get jostled by a sliding runner. The problem there was the throw.
-
McLean in innings 1 & 4: 7 total baserunners, 3 runs, 6 hits, 1 BB, 1 WP, while going six up/six down in Innings 2 & 3 Maybe it's just my imagination but he seems to 'bunch' his baserunners so that he/the team give up an above average percentage of runs out of the small number of runners he allows. Tonight's game will push his season ERA to right around 3.00 with a WHIP at still under 1.0
-
Running out a grounder to 2nd tonight in Denver, Ronald Acuna pulled up then hobbled off the field with what looked like the classic pulled hammy. Either that or it was the mother of all cramps and he'll be back in the lineup tomorrow.
-
The headline 'Torrens Extended' makes it sound like he's bucking the ABS era trend by being listed as taller this year compared to previous years club bios.
-
And let us not overlook the work of the pen in this game Brazoban going 1-2-3 in the 6th w/game tied [K, PO, GO] Raley in the 7th, now with a one run lead [GO, K, GO] Weaver in the 8th [K, K, GO] Williams in the 9th [K, K, GO] So with no margin for error that's twelve up, twelve down, and not a single ball leaving the infield. -
And on the eve of Kentucky Derby Day too ... nice choice!
