So, do you bunt here? I not only want to bunt, but I'm ready to send Stro' out there to pinch-run.

Neato is a big vecro strap adjustor between pitches. And a leadoff double!

One more batter to get and I don't want to jinx nuttin', but we've had good Reid-Foley so far this evening. And good Reid-Foley is a good thing.

The heart of the order: 4. Our reserve centerfielder, 5. Our second reserve middle infielder, 6. Our third reserve middle infielder. The weird part is that they're more or less the right guys to put up there.

Rooting for a wild pitch am I.

Swinging 3-0, Smitty? C'mon.

Wonder who the last Met reliever to reach base was. And why does Fargas come out swinging after the relief pitcher just walked.

Chili Davis was lucky to get out in one piece.

Breaking ball in the dirt = Lindor's favorite pitch.

How about that? The Dodgers haven't retired Orel Hershiser's number.

His name above should say "Jon Jay."

And the lucky guy who gets DFA'd is ... nobody!

He's as fast as a leopard, and the sort of guy who has played Winter Ball in Puerto Rico every season since he was a teenager. He has 243 minor league stolen bases, swiping over 40 four times. He was already 8-for-8 at Syracuse this season. He's a reliable contact-maker a lot of contact that crowds the plate and gets his share of plunks. What he doesn't do is hit the ball with authority and, as his .343 career slugging percentage might indicate, doesn't even garner a whole lot of doubles. The Mets now have puertorriqueños on the roster and a fifth coaching in the bullpen. Seth Lugo, while being from Louisana, has played for Team Puerto Rico, so we're getting a nice little fraternity going. He is, lest it go unsaid, MLB's first ever Johneshwy.

Can I interest you in a ... John Jay, recently DFA'd by the Strangels, who might like to play closer to his namesake college? Cameron Maybin, currently off to a shart of a start in AAA with the Cubs? Delino DeShields DeJunior, still only 28, currently tearing apart AAA pitching with the Rangers Round Rock affilliate?

Too bad Alonso didn't see any Spring Training innings at third. This might have been just the time to put this wild-assed lineup assignment to the test.

MRC is waiting on how the roster spot gets opened up. Early betting is on (1) a DFA for Tarpley, (2) a 60-Man IL assignment for Loogie, (3) a Zamora DFA. Longshot money is starting to show interest in (1) a Drew Smith DFA, and (2) a trade of one of their four rostered catchers, possibly to the very same Braves team they will be playing this evening.

I'm happy to see the Phils lose when the Mets need to them to. And I'm relieved to see that internal strife isn't exclusive to the Mets, but that story wasn't exactly peak-level Shirley Povich.

Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Typically, Alderson would find "moments" like these-- either in a rut or cresting -- to make a impactful promotion, but the Mets don't really have anyone who could help now. Binghamton is red-hot right now, with yesterday's 7-3 victory over Altoona raising their record to 1–10. Together with Syracuse, their combined record comes to an overall 3–20 (.130). Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Unless... UNLESS .. they strap on some gigantic nuts and call up Mauricio who's crushing it at Brooklyn. With Lindor in his way for the next decade they'd have to use him at 2nd or 3rd anyhow. You don't just like rolling the dice. You like rolling the big old set of fuzzy dice.

Thoughts on the Sweep Sometimes you don't get the breaks, but the Mets were truly the lesser team all three days. In fact, some of the Mets' best opportunities were handed to them by uncharacteristically sloppy Rays' defense The DH might lessen the effects of reckless roster construction, but it can't just make it go away. Relatedly — and it really might be the same thing, but I'd like to get ten thoughts out here and I don't know how many fish I'm holding — when Keith Hernandez justifies the Mets' use of an opener by saying, "Well, you've got ten guys out there in the bullpen, and it's hard to find enough work for everybody," isn't it screamingly apparent that maybe they shouldn't have 10 guys out there in the bullpen? Conforto getting hurt sucks. But McNeil getting hurt is negligence. I realize there weren't lot of options on who to use, but that might not be true if you didn't have 10 guys in your bullpen. I try to stick out every loss until the bitter end, but Hell is watching your team down by multiple runs and chasing sliders out of the strike zone. It's sadly a highly contested race for the role of guy in the lineup you least want to see come up in a big spot, but James McCann has really been carrying that torch for a while now. And when your starting catcher is guy in the lineup you least want to see come up in a big spot and your third-string catcher is guy in the lineup you most want to see come up in a big spot, something is wrong. As much as the booth spoke about it, I didn't get the impression Tampa Bay is necessarily smarter than other teams. I think they're frequently not as dumb as other teams, and certainly weren't as dumb as the Mets this weekend, but that's not really the same thing. Dom Smith has stopped striking out all the time, but his transfer into the role of hit-pretty-hard-but-right-into-the-shift guy isn't that much of a promotion. The staying with the pitcher too long vs. staying with the pitcher not long enough argument is dumb. That's a false choice. it'll be very interesting to see where they go from here.

Mets chasing McHugh garbage.

Zeketime!

My wife thinks the Mets are following new CDC guidance that says they don't have to stretch.

Syracuse, continuing their terrible start, has their top three infielders (Drury, Tovar, Jackson) all hitting under .200. Tovar probably has the best case for a callup. The best non-roster outfielder the team has available is Sebastian Elizalde, and he's at Bingo (who are off to a stunning 0-10 start). Margot just got himself a hanger of a hanger.
