There's the heater.

You don't want to take a guy for granted, but this is uncomfortably Eickhoffian.

Maybe he hurt himself rasslin'.

“You look at what this cat's done, people ask me all the time why he's not more well-known.” When did Dickey start talking like Miles Davis?

Wow. I guess this is the mid-season bad game that just gets him mad.

Boooooo... Albies need to see a fastball or two.

Freeman made to look like a rookie.

I thought Adrianza wuz out.

Credit where it's due, I guess. They keep restocking with players from Paducah, but haven't had to actually call one up, instead using them to fill in for the organization players they have called on.

He's fanned 26 and walked only three in that period, so welcome aboard. They've banned the grip enhancers in the American Association, right?

Worth noting that it's only a matter of time before an MLB-series post-season series celebration begins but is put on hold while we go to the review office in Chelsea.

If you can cover all your bases and prove to the last degree that this was totally consensual, do you really want to be the guy who stands in a courtroom with pictures of a brutalized woman in front of the judge and say, "She totally consented to that — in fact, she was really into it"? Do you really want to employ that guy? Do you EVER want to root for that guy? Here's hoping the Dodgers included the same Don't be a massive psychotic douchebag clause in his contract that Sesame Place made me sign. Also, will the fact that he uses https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1719707electrify-my-brain therapy as a legal performance enhancer ultimately be used in his defense? I sure would be tempted to if I was his lawyer.

Wow, I didn't know you ware making reference to an official list.

Yeah, I'm not going to root for throwing at batters. And blaming such a thing on stronger enforcement of a rule (which isn't new) is just a tacit admission that he's been violating it all along, and his teammates that aggressively spoke up for him two weeks ago are flat-out liars.

A 9-0 drubbing of Vandy and Mississippi State wins not only their first baseball championship, but their first national championship of any kind in any sport. On the other hand, the guy was safe.

This outburst of double digit scoring is really going to provide some great copy as folks start linking it to the sticky goo crackdown.

With rehab assignments the only transactions today, there were, for once, no changes to the big league squad. It is curious to see Joneshwy Fargas "assigned" to a team whose season hasn't begun yet, and in fact a team in a league that hasn't yet debuted. Look for that to change tomorrow, as more paperwork looms for the Mets than the prosecution of the Trump organization. Activations, pitcher shuffling, banishments, 60-Day assignments ... it'll all be there.

They can't use him for two days now so they might as well get another body in the bullpen. Edgy: it looks like the only 3 pitchers that could be called up (from the 40-man) are Y. Diaz; Stock; and, Tropeano. Is that right? I assume that Tarpley will be shifted to the 60-day because of his injury so that opens another spot.

Szapucki kind of reminded me of Jacob deGrom there, in the way they've both held the opposition to six earned runs this season.

Noted at the beginning of the season: "Almora, Jr." is also an anagram for "Alomar, Jr." I just noticed that the Mets have a bearded bat boy.

Maybe Almora is just trying to delay his release.

Almora hasn't thrown a strike yet.

Almora to mound!
