Pitcher takes his position on the rubber, the batter has to take his in the box. There's only one rubber, so the rules favor him, but in a way that only two pitchers in history have had the ability to exploit.

We can unmake that lead.

Well, I imagine he's going to bat this inning. A pitcher gets his third at-bat by the top of the seventh, you'd figure the team had plated at least a few. But nope, one run on a solo homer.

Bah. Very close.

Muno performs the rare feat of chasing Chase at Chase.

What's going on in that photograph of the shirtless guitar holding feller? A ballplayer is rocking his shit while changing in the clubhouse. Who is he? Johnny Monell. Louis Vutton with the Fuji guitar. Why is he shirtless? Rookie Hazing Day. And what's the deal with the guitar? The Giants thought it would be high-LAR-ious to dress their rookies as nekkid singing cowboys in Times Square.

Hoping the lucky bounce is him bouncing into a regular role as the Mets' starting shortstop.

What is this, Campbell? Swing-Like-a-Colon Day?

Diamondbacks apparently. How much branding mileage did Tampa Bay get out of their special assistant to the general manager?

Gary just called Bud Harrelson "The Original Mets Number Three." Waitaminute. You know better than that, Gary.

Muno reminds me of Sparkle, the way he drags the bathed behind the hands through the zone.

You have been Juaned. Don't make me Juan you again.

Missing Keith, that unfiltered nut.

I think it may be the same glove. I'm not sure why that rule and all it's contingencies are necessary. Not sure what side the ball is coming from, ump? Live in uncertainty.

Catching up on all the transacting. I was on the road most of the weekend. Muno is quite the yo-yo this week. We need a visit from Castellanos.

Big zone tonight.

Put that in your pocket, sucka.

Tomas = lucky.

I am Cuddyer. Hate me all you want. I feed on it.

I don't trust the way Stinnett has his hand under his chest protector. And the hockey helmet too. It's all highly suspicious.

Ceetar wrote: he'll bounce back. I think Nieuwenhuis would've too. these platoon bench guys work in such limited samples. Most everybody young enough is gonna produce eventually. (Look at Ollie!) The question is how much damage you can afford to let them do while waiting and working. And is another guy a better bet to come around faster? Not a lot of easy math available to make such calculations.

So, did yesterday's game relaunch Mayberry's season or are we still looking at a non-asset here? Added 59 points to his batting average. That has to feel good for him this morning. OPS is suddenly at a defensible .667.
