I'm not sure anything in that essay suggests that steam is building up.

(Cespedes' situation probably dictates he stays). Look at Pu-Pu playing the troll.

Nice in the ironic sense that pulling off a swindle is "nice." The nice-work-if-you-can-get-it sense. It was pretty tumultuous here yesterday. But whatever they chose to do, I don't believe in deleting scores.

So, you think there's a market for this guy? .593 OPS in 40 plate appearances for the Braves. .820 OPS in 181 plate appearances for the Mets. Modestly versatile. Lotsa post-season experience. Maybe, right? I mean, they moved Neil Walker after the deadline last year.

The Orioles fall behind 5-0 to the Red Sox by the second, but get a rainout. NICE!

Firefly Theater ain’t what it used to be, what with the Columbia Fireflies losing six of their last nine. Most of the Flies offense has gotten caught in the winds of change, with top hitters Jeremy Vasquez and Scott Manea being promoted to St. Lucie, and slugging’ infielder/outfielder Walter Rasquin off rehabbing following a 50-game suspension. What the team does have is Zach Rheams. A 2018 draftee out of Texas Tech with power out the ass, Rheams is only 8-for-39 so far with Columbia, but (a) 6 of those 8 hits have been for extra bases (2 homers and 4 doubles) and ( he’s the first 2018 draftee to even be playing this high, despite going in the 27th round. His homers aren’t measured in feet, but miles, but he seems suited for DH, and the Mets don’t need one of those. Tony Dibrell has more than a devil of a smile. With Anthony Kay and Joe Cavallaro and David Peterson all promoted, TD now has the number-one slot in the Columbian rotation. And heck if he doesn’t deserve it, with his 3.17 ERA (ninth in the league, among qualifiers) endowed by an impressive 110 strikeouts in 96 2/3 innings, against 43 walks. But there’s a new sheriff in town. Luc Rennie, signed out of indy ball (Evansville Otters), a source the Mets are pretty aggressive in drawing from, Cool Hand has knocked ‘em dead in his first 4 appearances (3 starts), and has given up just 2 earned runs in his first 21 2/3 innings. When you put up a 0.83 ERA, Firefly Theater takes notice. When you strike out 28 and walk only 3, Firefly Theater gives you a writeup. Rennie is reported to have an average (89-91) fastball and a get-me-over curve, but he’s also reported to have broken the Columbia record by striking out 14 (in 7 innings) in his last start. So we’re going to have to get the scouts to report back on this one. Maybe when they get Rasquin back, things’ll click, but this mushy spell has undermined a solid start to the second half, leaving the ColaFlies 4 games off the pace in the tightly packed South Atlantic League Southern Division, mired in sixth place of seven teams. And that’s not the greatness that they were meant for.

Lefty Tommy Milone appeared in 11 games for the Mets last year, five of them starts, and I had ACTIVELY and successfully deleted his Metliness from my memory banks until this post.

I feel like we've invested a lot in Wheeler: the highs and lows of growing pains, the two years on the DL, the bitter trip the minors ... . I feel like he's just hitting a stride. His control is consistent for the first time in his Met career, and he seems to have his mojo. Here come the dividends!!

Hey! Shut up about trading deGrom!!! Unfortunately, there ain't no guarantees. That's why the games are played and blah-blah-yadda. Even Mike Trout went as low as 25th overall in the draft. And though MLB.com had him ranked #1 overall in 2011, he was fading to #3 (!) by the time he debuted. He may pull a Pujols and go from best-guy-in-the-league to just-another-guy as soon a he signs the big deal. I want to keep Syndergaard too. Badly. But trading him and keeping him are both choices filled with peril.

A consecutive win, a series win, and Swarzak's greatest moment. Oh, yeah, they also pass San Diego in the league-wide standings. Hold me.

Good time for Swarzak to turn the corner. I mean, not as good as six weeks ago, but among remaining options.

Funny how many catchers have snuck in there in the 21st Century: Eli Marrero, Vinny Rottino, Anthony Recker, and Travis d'Arnaud. I was really hoping Marrero would stick there.

Gary discussed the reality that the Mets have two guys atop the bullpen pyramid who are 1A and 1B, almost suggesting it's a problem that they're both former starters who have demonstrated an ability to effectively go multiple innings.

This is great. What are the puppet heads on the wall in the photo up top?

So you get a call from Dad. He used to call twice a week when he first headed down to West Palm, but since then, with the golf, the Mahjong tournaments, the tarpon fishing, the Fox News, and meeting the gang for the early bird special at Bob Evans, his calls have been infrequent. But he says he's heading up to St. Lucie and wants you to let him know which Mets to keep an eye on. You want to tell him that, what with the family, the state of the Mets big club, the clinical depression, and the criminal syndicate running the country, you aren't as versed as you might be in Mets prospects. Not on a day-to-day basis. But this is Dad, and you appreciate that this is one thing you two can still bond over since the election, so you don't want to blow him off. Well, I'm here to help. St. Lucie is still a pitching-first squad, and the Florida State League is generally a pitching-first circuit, but Dad may want to keep his eye on catcher Ali Sanchez. Ali, destined to be called Ali-Haji by Keith Hernandez, spent most of the first half with Columbia, and starred defensively, but since his promotion to St. Lucie, his bat seems to be rounding into shape, currently at .298 / .333 / .421 // .754 and 1-2 this afternoon against the Clearwater Phils. The bat will play if the D continues to excel, and having thrown out 26 of 59 (44.1%) with Columbia and 7 of 17 (41.2%) with St. Lucie, there's reason to be encouraged. Ask Dad to watch how he handles the pitchers. Speaking of pitchers, get your Dad on the tail of Anthony Kay. Remind him (Dads need reminders) that Kay was the 2016 first-round pick with local connections (high school in Stony Brook, college at UConn). And thrill him with tales of Tony's 1.42 ERA through four starts with St. Loo. But Dad should get REALLY excited when reliever Stephen Villines gets called into the game. Rocking a stupid 0.63 ERA, Villy has thrown 14 1/3 St. Lucie innings, and given up but a single run, winning two games and saving another 2, striking out 15 against only 4 walks. Mostly, tell Pop to hydrate a lot, stay out of direct sunlight, say hi to Aunt Karen, and to have a good time. The St. Loos are coming out of a skid that saw them lose four in a row last week, have had to wait out a lot of rain delays, and have dropped into a tie for fourth in the second half season in the Florida State League South Division, five games behind the Tampa Bay-affiliated Charlotte Stone Crabs. But it's Mets baseball, of a sort, and that ALWAYS beats Mahjong.
