Marte still has some gasz in his engine.

Cohen just outright dissed Mets sponsor Fanatic Sports Book.

Zimmo had perhaps his best series of the year against Chicago when he was moved to the two-hole, and I am kind of disappointed to see him back batting fifth.

James Henneman, who passed this week, was the guy in the next pew over from me in the small and lovely parish that the archdiocese closed down six months ago. He was about as much of an Orioles lifer as a guy could be without being named Ripken. A star high-school pitcher from Charm City (he pitched against Al Kaline!), he was a clubhouse attendant as a teenager for the minor-league Orioles, and was in attendance for the the MLB Orioles' first game at Memorial Stadium after the team came over from St. Louis in 1954. He attended Loyola, and pitched for three years there (as well as running track and playing basketball), skipping his senior year to start a journalism career, spending decades covering the Orioles for The News American and The Baltimore Sun. He moonlighted as the Bullets PR guy from 1968-1973, and despite being a baseball guy to the core, he was lifelong friends with Wes Unseld, who he regarded more highly than any of his baseball connections — “one of the great human beings in my lifetime.” As his seniority on the Orioles beat became established, he acted as the team's official scorer from 1997-2019, and last year, the team officially named the press box after him. Though I knew of his career, I was never tempted to pump him for inside info — and that Wes Unseld bit was about the only inside bit he offered — only talking to him fan to fan, which he never stopped being. I knew he attended the Baseball Hall of Fame Ceremonies every year (it was the only weekend he wasn't at the church), but I didn't know he was a past president of the BBWAA. He was a voter for 40 years and I never asked him about his ballot!! You know those Veterans‘ Committee Ballots, where they get five names, and they all have a case, but you are scratching your head wondering how they whittled it down to those five? Like, why are we reconsidering Dick Allen and Gil Hodges and not Rico Carty and Bobby Grich? That list came from the Oversight Committee that Jim was a long-time member of. HE WAS ONE OF THE GUYS WHO ASSEMBLED THAT LIST! I could have pressed him to put Lou Whitaker on that list, but I didn‘t! I‘m not sure I‘ve seen him since the parish shut down, but he was still filing stories as of last year. Like Shirley Povich, Tom Boswell, Roger Angell, and others, he was committed to dying at his keyboard.

I have no problem crediting him with 24 All-Star games. Among other things, it matches the number on his back. When I am commissioner, there will be three mid-season All-Star Games, as part of Baseball Week.

"We can't blow perfectly good resources trying to come back in this game, even though we have tomorrow off! Our relievers need two days off! And this is the WHITE SOX! Coming back against them is IMPOSSIBLE!!"

He is more than from Canada. PG is a crossroads in the wilderness, more than eight hours north of Vancouver. Imma guess that only perhaps Belfast-bred P.J. Conlon qualifies as a Met born further north in latitude. Also pretty dangerous territory, as it turns out.

I missed the game. Why did they stick with Waddy so long?

This is actually Diego Castillo's second failed attempt to become a Met. Diego was grabbed off waivers by the Mets back in January of 2024, and then, two weeks later, before even reporting to camp, the Mets tried to sneak him through waivers, and the Yankees grabbed him. You know what happens next. The Phillies grabbed him from the Yankees two weeks after that, and the Orioles similarly stole him two weeks later. Everybody wants a Diego Castillo right up until the moment they get one. So, after being sold for cash to the Twinkies shortly after 2024 got underway, he re-signed with the Mets in the offseason. He is now moving from the "grabbed off waivers" portion of his career, into his personal "swapped for cash" era. Progress?

José seemed to be functioning more or less effectively as the last guy off the bench, but Mets Roster Central hopes this means that the Mets have finally succumbed to our pleadings that the team's infielder:outfielder ratio had been off most of the season to date. In fact, combined with the previous exchange of the injured Jesse Winker for Brett Baty, this now overtilts the ratio in favor of infielders. This has nonetheless been subtle addressed by the deployment of Jeff McNeil more frequently in the outfield than the infield, and while he is (at the moment) nobody's first choice in centerfield, he is making the plays. There is also something bubbling up that suggests the Mets truly like and believe in Jared Young. They signed him in the offseason to a major-league contract, letting him take up roster space to date. And they stuck with him as their lefthanded DH for several days without results before he broke through in a big way last night. Mets Roster Central is abuzz with talk that Jared may just be David Stearns' Luis Torrens of 2025.

I know how many sides a coin has, but that's me.

He appeared in both games, starting the first one.

JoLo has also been a statistical marvel for the Cubs this season, somehow assembling a 6–0 won-loss record to go with a 6.00 ERA and a -0.3 bWAR.

I don't know when this guy will be back on the field, or how much he will contribute this season, but I just feel vicariously cooler, watching him chilling in the dugout, rocking his shades, wearing the right colors, cheering on the less cool players on the team, and celebrating after wins with that coif of his bouncing up and down. This guy is a smooth piece of work. He carries himself like he's the lovechild of The Fonz and Jim Morrison, and he gives good quotes.

I think we will get our answers in competition. It is also quite possible that, as some players grow more healthy, others grow less so.

Reed is a dude.

Frayed Knot wrote: Boy Lindor's been behind in counts a lot. Yeah, he seems to be committed to jumping on the first pitch in clutch situations, though not only then.

Scoores anywutz!!

Had Acconie stolen when Ronnie said, he might have scored here. Assuming he stole safely, of course.

A pinch-running gig for Acoonie would be useful here.

Garret got a lot of chases there.

=Centerfield post_id=193843 time=1748395193 user_id=65] Butto has been awful. What happened to this guy.

Butto needs a hookie.

And Cannon is finally knocked from the game! Frankly, I'm surprised they even let him in the ballpark after what happened last time. https://www.sitcomsonline.com/photopost/data/3209/cannon_4.jpg>

Turns out that Cannon is tougher and more resilient than folks give him credit for.
