Snitker doing the Mets a favor pinch hitting with a pitcher with the tying run on the plate.

Hopefully, Cardinal Dolan is working hard on Mr. Cohen to get him to put some endowment money into restarting the Staub Foundation. That may violate a few rules, too.

"Alonso chases the slider away. This has been a recording."

I wonder how Ozzie Albies feels about Lindor making the third out forcing him at second and celebrating by slapping him on the foot a few times.

Brooks Guillorme!

Pretty funny to check him after he's removed from the game. If they find goo on him then, what happens? The last five innings get disallowed?

Well, Tylor Megill was cruising in his debut but good ol' 1,139 just got taken deep by Ender Inciarte of all people.

Thought it was her. José Valentin had seven RBI in the first two innings. DGW scored us some sneakup seats behind home plate that we grabbed from inning three onward.

Alpaca Boy on the phone!

Well, they were 5.5 out when I invoked this then. But conditions don't have to change drastically. They just have to change. I think they're gonna crash. They won't want to be caught holding their assets.

Best part of that homerun was watching frenemies McNeil and Lindor embrace. #squee

Hey, Guillorme has an extra-base hit!

Sounds like it's gonna be brutal. I imagine that they'll clear up the three-catcher bidness, and either demote Zeke or IL Nido. Beyond that, Yennsy will probably get a pass to Syracuse. Move #3 would seem to come down to a demotion or DFA for Reid-Foley, Smith, or Eickhoff. I would assume that means SRF, as he has options.

I certainly believe in high-leverage at-bats.

Wins by Mets Pitchers After Turning 40 1) Bartolo Colón: 44 2) Tom Glavine: 28 3) Orel Hershiser: 13 T4) Roberto Hernandez: 8 T4) John Franco: 8 6) Warren Spahn: 4 T7) LaTroy Hawkins: 3 T7) Miguel Batista: 3 9) David Cone: 1 10) Ken Takahashi: 0

=batmagadanleadoff post_id=68856 time=1624423557 user_id=68]So if deGrom were to give up one earned run in his next inning pitched, he'd have to then pitch 17 consecutive scoreless innings to get his ERA back to where it is right now (one inning short of two complete game nine-inning shutouts). That's one way to look at deGrom's ERA.

The Mets Roster Central team sure picked a rough week to go on their diversity training retreat in Trosa, as there were any number of transactions while they were gone and still more to come. Players were going down like dominoes and being desperately replaced as fast as the team could, and the whole staff was obliviously running through alternative perspective exercises.

Since that doesn't co-incide with Nido hitting the DL, his presence indirectly led to the Mets using two pitchers to pinch-hit yesterday. Enough thumbnails already. MRC will post the updated roster later after we find out whatever today's tranzactions are.

Keith says he digs the seven inning games. I imagine he gets paid the same.

Maybe, but ya gotta believe. Resignation is the real enemy. Fuck those fucking fucks in the commissioner's office. Yield no quarter.

Three shutouts in less than a week.
