Agreed. But I can't read Terry's mindset right now.

Even teammate Tim Harkness seems to have lost his patience. Little recalled is that Carl Willey was throwing what would ultimately be a two-hit shutout. He's shown rounding third at right, as coach Ernie White, third baseman (and also recently deceased) Ruben Amaro, and umpire Vinnie Smith stare in apparent disbelief. On the left, he's shown kicking at a Yankee fan who went after him, as an NYPD blue is torn between his love of duty and his fear of spikes [fimg=750]http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.72906.1313825515!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/gallery_1200/gal-hated-piersall-jpg.jpg[/fimg] Why would a fan go after him? Because Yankee fans hated him, owing back to a brawl with Billy Martin. It's easy to forget that Billy Martin was a folk hero (and popular with young ladies) because he was a little battler, and they saw him as a victim. The fact that he started most of his brawls was a lost point. Here he sends a knee into Piersall's solar plexus. [fimg=400]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ff/13/35/ff1335b1b6ea4f9437a8c9937e9f8396.jpg[/fimg] He took his own team's part as a bench-jockey. Is he here riding the other team's pitcher to help his team out? Perhaps riding an ump for squeezing his pitcher? Nope, he's riding the official scorer for crediting Rod Kahehl with an error. And lest it be forgotten, he sported movie star good looks. He was a rare ballplayer who was better looking than the actor who played him. He could have been a Cuban bandleader with that chin.

The Mets have made mid- (or late-) season turnarounds the last two years. There's no reason to think they can't again. The question is whether they care enough. I guess that would be a reason.

Just a thought, but maybe the 2017 Mets travesty of a Sunday record (2-7, with a run differential of -43 and a pythagorean winning percentage of .176) suggests that maybe Harvey isn't the only one burning the midnight oil.

Never knew Catalanotto had been an infielder. Or that Elvis Valentine was ever a Ranger. Amazing how that guy was so washed up so early.

That Frank Thomas memoir that he pimped on this site had a lot of indispensable material on young, minor league Piersall. Among other things, he got tossed from a game for riding an ump, and then joined the crowd later in the game in civilian clothes and got a whole section riding the ump, apparently teaching them songs to get the ump's goat. The guy was amazin'.

Harvey?

Well, it's the non-throwing thumb that he hurt, but I think that's part of the problem. I think the guy is playing in pain and driven to distraction. There was a popup that Reyes caught that help diffuse one of the late rallies with men on base. It was thirty feet past the infield cutout and it surprised me that the umps ruled it an infield fly because it would have seemed like 50-50 proposition if Cabrera was out there. Granderson, to me, is the guy who really needs to meet the pine. The weirdest part of this season is that the team has two players—Bruce and Walker—who they didn't really want and didn't expect to have, at least not at the price they cost. And even though they're not the problem from day to day (they are the third- and fourth-place hitters at the moment), they've really locked up the team's roster maneuverability.

No recent big league trannies, but two new cats have been added to the organization as the Dominican Summer League gets under way a week before the other half season leagues, because they don't need to wait for draftees to round out their rosters.

The old 50-pitch save.

They're sure getting around on Reed.

Well, that was a 24-pitch adventure. It'll sure be an interesting ninth. Let's score seven runs here. And then score four more.

I thought Diaz offered at that pitch.

José Reyes on for Cabrera. Addison Reed in six outs from the end. Two curious moves. Or two curious halves of one move.

Sewald is up in the pen? Not for nothing, but he not only got nobody out yesterday, but he threw a bucketful of pitches in not getting them.

That inning didn't cash in much on the promise it started with.

If they pull him now, that may be Salas' top outing in a month.

Big K, Salas! Finish the job!

I'm remembering the year that Fernando Nieve pitched every day the first month of the season—the radio booth was calling him "Nightly Nieve"—and then rapidly declined and never really found himself. He got hurt and never found his way back. Looking him up, he's still active, but has been pitching mostly in foreign leagues ever since. Don't be Fernando Nieve, Fernando Salas.

Any idea what's with the PLAYBALL ads?

You and me are posting past each other, Doc.
