Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man.

C'mon, Mickey. Díaz it.

Oh, I had not realized Lugissimo was available.

Three innings to protect a one-run (currently) lead. Who you gonna call? That Poundcake guy has climbed the depth chart quickly, hasn't he?

Heck of list of options for lefty pinch-hitters today: McNeil if you're looking for a base hit. Conforto if you're looking for four bags. Smith if you're looking for either and have already burned the other guy.

Great throw, but second questionable tag by Rosario today.

Hmmm... I felt like Davis quit on that ball too quickly, but he almost certainly played it correctly.

Nido > Alonso?

It was nice knowing you, Strawberry.

=G-Fafif post_id=13868 time=1561305141 user_id=55] That info re 4/13/17 appears above.

Reagan made his major league debut in 1960. His manager was Jimmy Dykes. Dykes made his major league debut in 1918. His manager was Connie Mack. Mack made his major league debut in 1886. That's TWO degrees of separation taking him back before San Juan Hill, to the birth of Coca-Cola, to Grover Cleveland's marriage to Frannie Fulsome, to the martyrdom of Charles Lwanga, and the Charleston earthquake.

In 2016 and 2017, we had the possibility of Josh Edgin (66) relieving Robert Gsellman (65), which I can't say for sure happened, because I haven't looked it up. April 13, 2017, https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=gsellro01&t=p&year=2017Edgin relieved Gsellie for the first time. Don't yet know if it was the last.

I don't think we gave the Kaplers their own thread earlier in the season. If we did, I'm sorry. But right now they are crumbling down like the walls in a John Cougar Mellancamp song. They've lost six in a row, seven of their last eight in-division games, and eight of their last 10 overall. Following the tradition of first the Nationals and then the Mets, their bullpen has collapsed like a deflated moon bounce fort. Andrew McCutcheon is out for the season with a knee injury, and with him goes a .378 OBP out of the leadoff spot, and his replacements have been little more than an automatic out ever since. So they've tried Bryce Harper in the spot, with his underperformance in the middle of the lineup leading to the change much like Curtis Granderson back in the day for the Mets. The main difference is that, while Granderson was the first high-end, long-term contract given out by the Mets in the Alderson era, Harper is being paid more than Chewbacca, and such a move in the first year of a 13-year deal is pretty dramatic. Plus, like the Cards, they're experimenting with powder blue revisited. Nameplates, too. Everything old is new again. https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/kZVSak5WWBOjMV046YnsQFV21KI=/1400x1400/filters:format(jpeg)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/10219543/814666130.jpg.jpg>

So, which 10 second-generation big-leaguers debuted in 2010?

Hector's the second Met to put Chile on the map, having been preceded by José Santiago for two glorious midsummer weeks in 2005.

Well, Familia is on the DL. He don't scare me nohow. Hopefully he comes back healthier.

By the way, some of these guys he's catching are an utter mystery to me: Norm Zaukin? Zeke Bonura? I don't know the guy from the 1955 Red Sox, but I recognize Buck Freeman from the 1899 Senators.

Indeed. I had a car waiting for me as I wrote that.

Pete Alonso is now: Tied for the greatest rookie home run season in Mets history. Tied for the 40th best home run season by anybody in Mets history. On a pace to pass and possibly obliterate the Mets' single-season home run record. Tied for the 52nd-best rookie home run season in MLB history. On a pace to reach and surpass the MLB rookie home run record. Currently tied for the 1,943rd-best home run season in MLB history. (Among the players he is tied with is Dave Kingman from his four-team 1977 season.) On a pace to have one of the top-20 all-time best home-run seasons in [CROSSOUT]Mets[/CROSSOUT] MLB history. Gosh and golly, this is an historic season.

Caratini just set a land speed record for a pitcher heading from the mound to the dugout.

I imagine no, but there might be someone who projects such a rule as an extension of other running-up-the-score unwritten rules. And hey, as you said, a Met might be fixin' to get drilled anyhow. I can see a grumpy Cub rationalizing that the appeal was over-the top. I'm all for the appeal, but I agree with Gary that the decision should be made on the field.

I assume the second-base ump will get a call right eventually.

If a Cubs pitcher beans someone, Phil Regan is gonna kick somebody's ass.

Todd Frazier, meanwhilst, for what I think is the second time this season, made a pissy face, thinking that he got too far under a pitch, and then sudenly realized he had hit a homer.
