Not even the first one by Torrens.

Torrens up there with a .530 OPS, but he's a thing of beauty with the bases loaded.

I like Jared Young in 29. It's a good professional-hitter number. Dave Magadan, Tim Corcoran, DJ Stewart, Eric Campbell — 29.

He got through it. I'd still like to see him reappear in the fifth.

Francisco Lindor has no fear of Craig Kimbrel having put up an eye-popping .375 / .444 / .875 // 1.319 line in nine trips to the plate. His lone Franciscobomb (and lone RBI) for that matter, though, came in 2017 as a Cleveland Native American. The next time Asdrubal Cabrera reaches against Craig Kimbrel will be the first time, having gone 0-4 against the future Hall-of-Fame candidate. He never faced Craig as a Met, with his tenure in Flushing pretty much perfectly aligning with Kimbrel's tenure as a Red Sock.

Ewing just saved Nolan's McLacon.

Welcome to the game, Mr. Bender. You've been inSemienated.

It takes a lot of courage to go hunting for a fourth straight victory and send a Sengerless lineup out there. No Bruján factor either.

Lots of sexy Mazzilli magic in this 1980 highlight reel, opening with the sexy jazzy vocal stylings of Ben Vereen.

Mazzilli had been social media haranguing against the pope accepting the retirement of Cardinal Dolan, which makes me a bit suspicious that he is the sort of aging, once-famous guy with a blindspot in his guile, that #MAGA is adept at recruiting into the culture war. Maybe he just buddied up with Cardinal Dolan along the way, but praising Cohen as a minor swipe at the Wilpons tends to strike me as a suspiciously populist gesture, but it was probably just being gracious to the host. I'm mostly just glad that Mazzilli's career, which took a bad turn too early, gets it's day. Here's Lee eating some fence, back when they were made of wood: First tenure: Second tenure:

It speaks to how sickly the Mets — and baseball in general — understand their audience to be, that one of their primary sponsors is Thrive Well Infusion. If you need plasma or medication delivered intravenously, you have our compassion, thought it feels unseemly that our wellbeing has not only become such a commercial enterprise, but has become the commercial enterprise, to judge from baseball advertisements. Well, that and gambling. But nobody understands more than the Mets, who are in a constant state of being re-infused.

Whether it hints at an ongoing health matter or a future in the bullpen is an open question, but the Mets don't seem to be in a hurry to have him back, and will hope the ongoing Jonah Tong infusion can be potent enough in the mentime. Infusing his way out of the Frontier League is Jackson Hauge. Boss Hauge is coming off a rock solid career with Minnesota State and Kansas, where he mostly played outfield. He's mostly seeing time at first base as a pro, which suggests that his speed is less than impressive. The bat certainly plays (he put in four outstanding seasons in the wood-bat Northwoods League), but the MLB draft is down to 20 rounds, and righthanded firstbasemen often aren't a big get. Here's hoping the bat proves them wrong.

That's exciting new information. Thank you. I'm not sure that's necessarily called for, but maybe he'll be piggybacking with one of the guys on a short leash.

Have the Mets suggested that?

Baseball! Tomorrow, we are playing for fourth place!

William Kempner wants to offer you a free estimate on your roof repairs.

Still five outs ahead, but shutting down Otto Lopez is a gratifying subplot.

Senger sure stuck that one up my ass.

Winning with a Brujan/Senger lineup would feel like stealing one.

They don't, really. They just think they do.

Crazy.

Starting at the beginning is Bambino Mazzilli learning to be flycatcher from the best of them all. It's too bad Maz didn't pass on the basket catch to Mookie and Mookie to Dykstra and make it an organization signature into perMetutity.

A scratched-out win, but a good teamy effort. Everybody in the lineup reached base except Torrens, and he pegged a would-be basestealer and otherwise shut down the vaunted Marlins running game, and he had a sacrifice as well. Even Wagaman gets some points, even though all he did was get introduced and then sit down. He forced the Marlins to pull Cade Gibson after only one out and burn one more reliever in an extra-inning attrition battle.

Down to Manaea and Williams out of the pen tomorrow.
