  1. Acoonie's legs sure ain't what they used to be, but there's nothing wrong with his arm, and Young blows the chance to start something by foolishly testing it.
  2. Luis Robert is fanning the flames of the end of his career in center. Maybe the Mets are continuing to use him there to showcase him for an offseason deal or something, but exposing his arm is not improving his value.
  3. If last night's Met performance was too lacking it a hot, sexy Bretty Baty factor, as well an alluring, provocative Luis Torrens element, well, tonight is your night, as both return to the lineup card. Turned off by the cold, clinical offerings of Marcus Semien? Well, again, tonight is for you. Tosser Zac Thornton LHP 3-2, 2.52 ERA, 27 SO Clubbers A.J.

  4. Other weirdos: Tug McGraw, Dock Ellis, Turk Wendell. Carl Everett, of course, is sort of a captain of Team Weird.
  5. Thanks for filling in the data. Yeah, I imagine something pretty dramatic would likely be going down to keep the opt-out/escalation from being a fait accompli from both ends. But who knows what transpires between now and 2029?
  6. Folks, we neglected to start an IGT for this evening's game, forcing Brock to brock with protocol, taking the IGT-starting privileges the day after starting the thread and losing. Yikes. Again, I say, yikes.
  7. I didn't know there was an agreed-upon amount to get him to not opt-out. I just figured, as the opt-out loomed, his agent would drag the Mets back to the negotiating table and play hardball.
  8. Maybe, but without Soto, that $51,875,000 might have spread meaningfully to different outlets. There are two sides to these equations. The fun part of his salary is it stays flat through 2039(!!), so that $51 million will presumably be worth far less then (depending on how maliciously the president upends the economy and nation). On the other hand, he has that opt-out after 2030, which he will likely take, or force the Mets to escalate his salary under the threat of him taking it.
  9. Some o' that offense would be nice before the next inning ends the game.
  10. Robert showing a deeply wanting arm this inning, but the range going back is still there.
  11. Yanni is all over the place. The pitch locations are spilling out like candy from a piñata.
  12. Eighty-five pitches and the day is done for McBain.
  13. Benji does that thing that Alvarez likes to do with first and third and one out.
  14. First and third for Benji. Here's a potential TPotG.
  15. Youse are missing a game. Like, a gamey game.
  16. I wouldn't have even thought about challenging that play on Benge at first. Very surprised to see it overturned.
  17. The extra fun part is when it's tabulated how a hit influences a game, compounded with how a game turns a season, and the season turns the likelihood of a championship. Somebody calculated that some time ago, and it was concluded that the biggest fate turner in Mets regular season history was the Ron Hodges soft-liner walkoff in 1973 that (a) should have been caught, and (b) is far less remembered than the tag out at home he made earlier in the game. I don't know if that is still true, or if the Lindor home has displaced it.
  18. All of youse clamoring to see Gabriel Arias' name on a lineup card, well, happy times tonight for you, as The Undercover Angel gets his first Mets start. At first! Hilltopper Nolan McLean RHP 8-7, 3.51 ERA, 156 SO Lineup A.J. Ewing (L) LF Francisco Lindor (S) SS Bo Bichette (R) 3B Luis Robert Jr. (R) CF Carson Benge (L) RF Marcus Semien (R) 2B Francisco Alvarez (R) C Jorge Polanco (S) DH Gabriel Arias (R) 1B Knollguardian Martín Pérez LHP 7-6, 3.14 ERA, 78 SO Lineup ATL Lineup Drake Baldwin (L) C Ronald Acuña Jr. (R) DH Matt Olson (L) 1B Michael Harris II (L) CF Ozzie Albies (S) 2B Mauricio Dubón (R) LF Mike Yastrzemski (L) RF Austin Riley (R) 3B Jim Jarvis (L) SS
