If you are going to use your top reliever, stick with him for a second inning.

Pete up with two outs and the tying run on base, and if I am Dave Martinez, I am putting him on.

Has Keith called Justin Garza "Matt" yet?

I'm listening by radio to a MLB feed of the 880 broadcast. I'm thinking of visiting Westbury Toyota for a Thrivewell Infusion.

Acoonie got one or two mopup innings in center about two weeks ago.

Yeah, I was thinking d'Arnaud. Maybe a smidgen of me was thinking Blankenhorn. Taijeron was right out. The Mets seem really worried behind the scenes about having enough flycatchers, and wondering if centerfield is the link that will break the chain. With an extended outage for José Siri, an extended slump by Tyrone Taylor, Marte and Nimmo seemingly no longer trusted in the middle of the field, and McNeil kind of faking it, they probably don't want to get caught with their pants down. I think they see McNeil in center the way they saw HoJo and Mitchell at short in 1986 — it's a good way to get the guy his at-bats as long as we are winning, but we'd hate to have him on defense out there with the season on the line.

It kind of is becoming routine. He made a similar one last week at The Rogers Center. [media=youtube]xVnIKgUdVfg[/media]

The Athletics may not have a home, but they sure seem to have found a heck of a rookie centerfielder. [media=youtube]-5RnsRv6JZg[/media] Denzel Clarke was originally drafted by the Mets in 2018, but did not sign, and as 25-year-old rookie, it is unclear if his offense will catch up to his defense, but he is putting on a nightly show out there. He hails from Toronto, Canada, and is a cousin of Josh and Bo Naylor — as well as some guy name Myles Naylor who I can only assume is the Gummo Marx of the act.

This is where Stearns has some potential leverage. A lot of big market teams (PHI, ATL, LAD, TOR, HOU) have long-term contracts with first baseman, and another set of teams (CHC, BAL, DET, KC, CIN) have cost-controlled young players there. And of course it seems pretty unlikely that Sacramento, CHW, MIA, TB, COL, PIT, MIL, MIN, or ARZ is going to spend that sort of money. STL is supposed to be rebuilding. That leaves a pretty limited pool: San Francisco, Boston, the other NY team, Seattle, Texas, maybe San Diego or Anaheim. This is largely true, but with the advent of the universal DH, it gives teams a lot more room to sign the bats they like and then figure out where to play them.

Lots of hot transaction action as the Mets try to build up something like a triple layer of redundancy in preparation for any bullpen crises that emerge down the line. Man, apparently, does not live by Brazobán alone.

But now Sean Manaea has appeared for Brooklyn, and that is something, and the overstuffed rotation that may or may not happen is something the booth cannot stop talking about. Julian Merryweather was released at the end of May, and one of the teams that hit him hard back in the Very Merry Month was the Mets, who got to him for a two-run Brett Baty homerun (one of two on the day for Brett). It reminds us of a guy the Mets got back in ... 2021? ... who they pummeled in a game against the Cubs, triggering his DFA or release, and then they grabbed up and got value out of. Cannot remember who.

Brandon Waddell has (a) a fresh arm, ( a lefthander's advantage, and © a solid track record this season as a AAA starter as well as an MLB reliever. One would have perhaps expected that he would have least got an inning or two of mopup time in yesterday's win if Carlos Mendoza suspected he was going down. On the other hand, maybe the Mets want to keep Paul Blackburn stretched (whatever that means), and by sending Waddy back down, he can re-enter the rotation and stay ready for starting work as well. Also, maybe the Mets think they really found a dude, and want to deploy him ASAP.

I do not think I was silly at all. Not giving designated hitters a negative score for defense would give them an overall defensive rating that is higher than many players who play defense, and would advantage them unfairly. That would not be very helpful or useful or indicative. Does anybody else think that this is silly? It is just the way statistics work. Creatures who live below sea level have a negative figure for their elevation. N/A would not allow for meaningful comparison and contrast to and measurement against other creatures, which is the idea.

It certainly has to exist, if only in the negative range. Non-existent would calculate to zero, which would be markedly better than Alonso's.

Defensive WAR is a sub-optimal metric. Basically, all defensive metrics are sub-optimal, but defensive WAR is probably moreso than some others.

He's going to have to nudge his OBA significantly above the .313 mark before he gets much consideration from me. 13 walks (and 1 HBP) in 271 PA so far. Your point is not lost on me, but his elite defense has contributed beaucoup points to his value.

Can you imagine being a major-league vet who still hasn't gotten an offer to play with anybody this season? The Sox and the Rox are racing each other into the worst part of MLB's record books, and they're still telling your agent, "Yeah, we don't think your guy can help us."

Walking Soto in front of Alonso is a formula that we can work with all season.

Sorry about that 0-for-5, but they have to get Lindor off the field.

A lot of power from the bottom of the lineup this series.

Well, media members Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen just mentioned it several times.

Alonso is back over .300.

Man the Rockies are good for what ails you.

TCB versus the bottom of the standings.
