So many hot takes out there on Pete Alonso and the Mets.

Yeah, but the Ochunskis are on their eighth pitcher and the Mets have the top of the order.

Followed by a holy-shit inside-the-parker. Fuggit.

Tachado gigante de Alonso.

Morel may be playing this game on drugs.

Terrible time to swing 3-0, Christobal Morel.

First career intentional walk for A.J. Ewing!

Way too much spooging over Alonso's defensive play in the Mets booth without telling be if the runner moved over. And now the run scores and the winning run on second. THAT'S what I'm rooting for.

A huh-wild pitch can huh-win this.

A single can win this.

Now we're going to need Lindor to win it in the ninth.

Holy shitski!

Replay review crew in Chelsea is killing the Mets tonight.

Semien reaches first as Alonso can't handle the throw in the dirt. Drama!

Nate Lavender: 5 batters 5 outs 4 strikeouts Still awesome.

Nate Lavender is back in business! Too bad Zebulon Vermillion only managed one inning in four seasons. The Color Club never got to be.

Thanks for your precipitation, but we have all answers filled. Dom had but 32 hits in 2018. He actually burned his rookie status in 2017, but accumulated only 33 hits in that season.

Manaea out after only 67 pitches. What's the point of conserving your pitches if the manager is going to hook you anyhow? The added insult is that he got hooked with one out and nobody on because Alonso was up, making him look soft. And Howie has twice now called Austin Warren (who whiffed Alonso on three pitches) "Will Warren." Is that some hockey guy he's confused over?

Bo Bichette hits pitchers.

Howie is telling the story of how Orioles catcher Pozo had a son born with serious health complications, the year COVID shut down the minor leagues. He lost his salary, he lost his health insurance, and their family was living out of a car in Orlando, FL. A story of perseverance, sure, but Howie is missing the point about what a disgrace it is for his then organization (the Rangers), for baseball, for Florida, and for the United States.

Shane Baz Brett Baty Both #12 overall picks.

Carson Benge has 11 2/3 games to rack up five more hits in order to become the hittin'est rookie in Mets history. A.J. Ewing is hot on the heels of Hendu and has Tsuyoshi Shinjo and the great Darryl Strawberry in his sights. And Darryl Strawberry has his number suspended from the roof. # SEASON ROOKIE HITS PROJECTION 1 1981 Hubie Brooks 169.7 PROJECTION 2 2026 Carson Benge 161.6 1 2019 Pete Alonso 155 2 2026 Carson Benge 150 3 2003 Ty Wigginton 146 4 1963 Ron Hunt 145 5 2000 Jay Payton 142 6 2010 Ike Davis 138 PROJECTION 3 1981 Mookie Wilson 137.3 7 1966 Cleon Jones 136 8 1977 Lee Mazzilli 134 9 1989 Gregg Jefferies 131 10 1996 Rey Ordóñez 129 11 2004 Kazuo Matsui 125 12 2003 Jason Phillips 120 13 2011 Justin Turner 113 14 1981 Hubie Brooks 110 15 1983 Darryl Strawberry 108 PROJECTION 4 2026 AJ Ewing 107.8 16 2001 Tsuyoshi Shinjo 107 PROJECTION 5 1995 Edgardo Alfonzo 104.6 17 1977 Steve Henderson 104 18 2026 AJ Ewing 100 19 1962 Jim Hickman 96 20 2013 Juan Lagares 95 T21 1995 Edgardo Alfonzo 93 T21 2014 Travis d'Arnaud 93 23 1982 Ron Gardenhire 92 T24 1965 Ron Swoboda 91 T24 1986 Kevin Mitchell 91 PROJECTION 6 1972 John Milner 89.3 26 1981 Mookie Wilson 89 PROJECTION 7 1995 Carl Everett 88.9 27 2011 Lucas Duda 88 T28 1962 Rod Kanehl 87 T28 1969 Wayne Garrett 87 T28 1988 Kevin Elster 87 31 1972 John Milner 86 32 2003 Jose Reyes 84 PROJECTION 8 2020 Andres Gimenez 83.7 T33 1996 Alex Ochoa 83 T33 2004 Mike Fitzgerald 83 35 1976 Bruce Boisclair 82 36 2023 Francisco Alvarez 80

I'm telling you, Alonso hasn't come to town to set a mark. He's come to town to lose one.

Piazza totally applied some form of foundation for his post-game media moments.

The Mets are taking the field tonight with a career .136 batting average against guys named "Shane Baz."
