  1. The best part is that it is happening near the start of a road trip. If they sprung it on people at a home game, the toilets would clog from all the 60-year-old white guys taking angry shits, and they might take it out on the player. Here, it happens on the road, and hopefully by the time the team gets back home, he has a handful of games under his belt, maybe a few hits, and maybe a stolen base or two. Howie Rose won't even be calling the game to make a note of it and the Mets' other two radio broadcasters are too young to even remember Carter. It would have been easier if they stuck it on the back of an Austin Slater or Andy Ibáñez first, though.
  2. Holy shit! Just like that!
  3. Morab in the lineup. Ewing riding pine against the lefty. METS Starting Pitcher: Nolan McLean (RHP), 2-2, 2.92 ERA Lineup: Carson Benge (L) RF Bo Bichette (R) SS Juan Soto (L) DH Mark Vientos (R) 1B Marcus Semien (R) 2B Tyrone Taylor (R) CF Nick Morabito (R) LF Brett Baty (L) 3B Luis Torrens (R) C WASHINGTON Starting Pitcher: Foster Griffin (LHP), 4-2, 3.53 ERA Lineup: James Wood (L) RF Luis García Jr. (L) 1B José Tena (L) DH CJ Abrams (L) SS Daylen Lile (L) LF Dylan Crews (R) CF Jorbit Vivas (L) 3B Drew Millas (S) C Nasim Nuñez (S) 2B
  4. For what it's worth, Daniel Duarte hasn't pitched in a week, and so is as fresh as a daisy. They man end up adding somebody else before game time as well.
  5. It's looked like he had a pretty standard progression to me. Like Ewing, he hasn't shown much power, but his on-base/speed/defense combo is more exciting than power from where I sit. Two added Ewing-based boni: As Ewing is no longer the new kid, it kind of takes the pressure off of him, sort of how Ewing's arrival may or may not have taken some of the weight off of Benge. And if they want to move AJ to the top of the lineup, they can do it without it being a thing. Morabito joining the team and batting seventh or eighth would be the bigger deal. Thornton and Duarte draw some of that new-kid attention away also. With four of their five outfielders capable of playing a better-than-decent center, it provides more room perhaps to get an occasional look at Ewing at second. Both he and Ewing come with a 70 run tool, and Benge probably isn't far behind, so it could potentially be a lot of fun to watch.
  6. Mets Roster Central apologizes for providing no hot roster change action as our computer is in the shop.
  7. More a-Bito and less a-Slater. This was kind of foreshadowed when Taylor entered the game Sunday in what had been the spot that they had been a-using Slater.
  8. I think the software just identifies such pitches as curveballs. Arc-ed lobs from slow-pitch softball is indeed a better description, even if they are overhand.
  9. The Marlins win also, keeping the Mets out of the coveted 12th place spot. In the division, however, Washington, Miami, and Mets are all within a game and a half of each other. The 12th-inning run barrage also closes the Mets' run differential on the season to -7.
  10. Agreed. The only thing that kept me from betting the farm on Kimbrel was that he finished the game before my bookie picked up the phone.
  11. Not chasing the win is a BIG value for contemporary managers.
  12. Kimbrel has done a marathon worth of warming up. Let's send him to the shower and let Duarte finish it.
  13. Paxton Schultz relieved by ... Paxton Schultz! Is Joe Schultz managing?
  14. If this inning continues, Senger has a chance at two sacrifices in one inning. His inning-opening sacrifice is still the only out of the inning.
  15. If you don't pop up, it's hard to bunt into a double play. But that pop-up thing can be quite the rub.
  16. Benge really has that 70-foot-RBI-in-extra-innings thing down.
  17. Say hello to our OLDER friend, The Twelfth Inning. Taylor will open the inning on second, with Senger at the plate, so expect a bunting adventure. Also, remember that Brujan is batting in the cleanup slot — scheduled to be fifth in the inning..
  18. The eleventh inning allows Ewing to avoid his first game without reaching.
  19. So, now that the lead is back, the bullpen is pretty burned. Does this Kimbrel guy have any experience closing?
  20. Let's say hello to our old friend, The Eleventh Inning!
