One cool thing about McNeil coming back first, before Canó or Nimmo — besides, you know, McNeil coming back first — is that the Davis/Smith platoon in left gets one more day to shne.

=41Forever post_id=11986 time=1559677745 user_id=69]As for the infield, I can't figure out what they were hoping to achieve by underlining the headline.

Looking forward to the Mets fielding an all-Zach/Zack lineup.

McNelt isn't the only one being activated.

I'm always at least a little suspicious of athletes from the former Confederacy territories coming to the organization with names that seemingly invoke Confederate generals, but who knows. https://nsudemons.com/images/2019/2/7/Jones_Nathan.jpg?width=300> Four Sisters: Baylee, Brooklyn, Breanne and Brighton. One brother: Noah

See, that's why the forum needs a way to boost awesome posts with a shower of "likes" or "+1s" or "I endorse this message-s."

So, Dom Smith got bumped from the lineup over a hyperextended thumb on Sunday. The Mets sent him for an MRI, which they don't intend to release until they meet the media before tonight's game. Robinson Cano being close to ready to come off the IL may make the prospect of IL-ing Smitty appealing, though it shouldn't really be.

Stay away from me. I'm picking losers all over the place.

Best Infield Ever? Worst SI Design Elements Ever? Mr. Long Bball is my choice ... AND my nickname. I love how they uncontract the term and make two words out of it.

https://www.syracuse.com/resizer/5vs4zj54CcEP_6B4vd1NuWPX-nw=/1400x0/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-advancelocal.s3.amazonaws.com/public/HZBF2NTGTJG7XAO3CPRP6NV6BY.jpg> Walkoff fever gripped the sons and daughters of Syracuse last night, as a 10th-inning triple by Travis Taijeron plated the tying run. After two one-out intentional walks, Luis Guillorme came on to pinch-hit for Tim Tebow — manager Tony DeFrancesco apparently looking to substitute contact for ... lack of contact. Whatever the specifics of his strategy, the skipper looked like a genius as LuGu singled to plate the game-winner. PANDEMONIUM! The Syracuse Mets will take any pandemonium they can get, having gone 5-5 over the last ten, settling into a tie for second place, 3 1/2 games behind the streaking, Yankee-affiliated Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders in The International League North Division. But 5-5 means there are as many good times as bad. And Chris Mazza hopes to bring a lotsa good times to Syracuse. He's started two games since his callup, against two contenders, and allowed but one run against each, totally 13 innings. Combined with two AAA starts earlier in the year, Mazza Ball has struck out 17 and walke only four in 24 innings. And that's getting it done, son. Speaking of getting it done, Tim Peterson has been an unrelenting thorn in the side of International League hitters. Providing scoreless work in seven of his last eight appearances, TP has been on a roll, putting up a 1.86 ERA over that period. A 9-1 strikeout-walk ratio and a .134 batting average against says that the Son of Peter is going to be back at CitiField pretty soon, kissing the girls and making 'em cry. But somebody has to hit, and since his callup, infielder/outfielder Arismendy Alcantara, has brought the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQvWCeiXSHo?autoplay=1rock 'n' roll like nobody's business. Since his callup from Binghamton, the Santo Domingo native has been vicious and violent, already logging three homers in his first 13 games, putting some spice on a sexually thrilling .343 / .489 / .629 // 1.117 line. The name kind of evokes Moorish Spain, but I looked up the name Alcantara, and one site offers the definition of "dweller near a bridge under which ran muddy water." That sounds kind of bullshitty, but I do know that Qantara means "bridge" in Arabic, and so the bridge he dwells near may soon be the Whitestone, if he keeps it up. The fireworks continue tonight as the Mets host Rochester and starting pitcher Chase de Jong, a guy who has been lit up like dry newspaper all season long. And remember, it's Taco Tuesday!! GO, METS!

Also, this guy has joined the organization (and since been activated for Syracuse).

Regret is no stranger to the Mets. After releasing Canadian St. Lucie outfielder Raphael Gladu at the end of camp, they've apparently had second thoughts and have gobbled him back up out of the independent Canadian-American League. Gladu is a line drive hitter with speed who won a batting average championship in Conference USA his senior year. In interviews after the draft, he declared his favorite player to be Derek Jeter, so I'm assuming the release was to teach him a lesson, that they now hope he has learned.

Is it pronounced like Ned Beatty or Batty Koda?

=LWFS post_id=11909 time=1559609978 user_id=84]Brett Baty is an A-plus baseball name.

Son of a bitch. So they are. The Roberto Alomar trade is still paying dividends!!

A 5-2 loss to The Augusta GreenJackets did a lot of dropping. It dropped The Columbia Fireflies' record in their last 10 games to a soggy and dis-spiriting 3-7. It further dropped our heroes deeper into dead fucking last, nine games off the pace in The South Atlantic League Southern Division. It dropped their first half elimination number to six games. Lastly, it dropped pitcher José Butto to 1-7, a loss total that leads all of Class A. Despite the team's day-glo colors, bright spots have been few. Willy Taveras has turned in two quality starts in a row, as he has done through most of the season. He's got his ERA under four and trending downward. Chilly Willy keeps walks and hits off the board, but has been showing a vulnerability to the long ball. His 10 dongs allowed is the second-highest figure in the league. If he can lick the dongs, there's place for him in the higher minors. Joining the team the last week or two has been Texas bullpenner Jake Simon, and he's been the shnizzle. Rhymin' Simon debuted with a three-inning no hit stint out of the pen, and by his third appearance he was put in the stopper role. Unscored upon after 4 2/3 innings, Jakey has allowed only two hits and a walk while striking out five. The Fireflies need to climb on his back in the second half. Ezequiel Zabaleta has been moved up to St. Lucie. Swinging the best bat on the team is the awesomely named outfielder Wagner Lagrange. The bombastic opera composer has gone .306 / .359 / .556 /.915 over his last 10 operas, a stretch that includes a grand slam against Charleston. Also, he comes from the town of Las Matas de Farfan. I probably have this wrong, but my most literal translation of that is "You Kill the Ones from Farfan." I don't know what Wagner and his fellow citizens havea against Farfanians, but I don't want to be around when they meets one. It may be too late to get back into the second-half race, but the 'Flies aren't going down without a fight. They currently lead the Rome Braves 5-2 in the ninth inning. Hey, look at that! Jake Simon has had two more perfect innings, and Chris Viall is on for the save, AND IT'S OVER AS I TYPE!!! Firefly Fever! CATCH IT!!!

Doesn't gloss over some of the low points -- the disastrous, disco Victim of Love album even gets a scene. The weird thing is this barely qualified as an Elton John album. Apart from it's disco-ness, which certainly wasn't beneath Elton John, the album featured: No original Elton John compositions. No Bernie Taupin lyrics. No Elton John piano or keyboards. No members of the Elton John Band. No tour. Only 36 minutes of music. No performances of any of these songs on subsequent tours. The Waters Family and Michael McDonald on vocals, L.A.'s most relentless session singers. An eight-minute version of "Johnny B. Goode." A title track that somehow reached #31 on the pop charts, despite it's complete forgettableness. It's like he had to settle a debt, and came in and added vocals in a day and then got out of there. Fun fact, EJ hit the singles top 40 chart in the US for 16 straight years, from 1970-1985, then took a year off in 1986 by peaking at #55 with "Heartache All Over the World," hit the top 40 for nine straight years after that from 1987-1995. All told, that's a man charting in 25 of 26 years, and many of those years featuring multiple charting singles. And he still had a few hits, including a #1, ahead of him. It seems to me, he lived his life with his finger to the wind.

His season didn't really recover until the second half. Those were also his first at bats coming off a scary injury. Like I wrote, I don't know if it means anything. Personally, I didn't like using him in that spot, but that was also when they had Nimmo as a glaringly obvious alternative.

Well, that's not where my post ended.

It's really not a total dumpster fire.

I was listening to that yesterday in the car, but an UNNAMED PERSON was talking over Casey's intro.

The staff at the Charm City Mets Research Institute has taken up the question, and the current record holder is ... 2010! But 2019 is on a pace to break the record with a little more than a third of the season gone. If you're feeling bold, feel free to guess who the 2010 second-generation debutantes were. One name per post, and no consecuposting. https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/screen-shot-2019-06-02-at-6.19.51-pm.png> https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/screen-shot-2019-06-02-at-6.20.28-pm.png> https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/screen-shot-2019-06-02-at-6.22.04-pm.png> https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/screen-shot-2019-06-02-at-6.22.26-pm.png> https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/screen-shot-2019-06-02-at-6.22.59-pm.png> https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/screen-shot-2019-06-02-at-6.23.15-pm.png>

McNeil and Nimmo are hurt. And Mickey Callaway too easily slides into Development Mode and/or Protection Mode, rather than Hey-Let's-Win Mode.

J.D. Davis, you have no moral business swinging at the first pitch down by four in the eighth, especially with a new pitcher coming on.
