A three-run, two-out rally is certainly dragon-like.

Bleh, Apple TV.

Has anybody made up a ridiculous Spencer Jones homerun call in tribute to John Sterling: "There it goes! Call the orthopedist 'cuz it's a JONES FRACTURE!!"

Wait until he gets a taste of some Marcus Semien.

Anyburky gonna KTE this series? Steve? Chad? Anyone?

Well, yeah, of course they have to keep doing it. And of course it is unknown if that will transpire. On the other hand, they are 8-4 in May after the ball-kickingest of Aprils. And they'd done it mostly without power until yesterday, which is the way to get this offense on a roll. Develop your plate discipline, reward the guys who show that discipline with playing time and promotions, and waiting pitchers out, until eventually you get (a) get to see good pitchers give in and throwing you cookies, and (b) the lesser pitchers on the staff rolled out as series progress.

"Declaration of Deals"?

There's nothing wrong with second thoughts. Just because you let a guy walk doesn't mean you can't reassess him. Maybe your needs change, maybe your assessment of the guy changes, maybe the guy just has gotten better. You don't want to dig in on your old evaluations. Anyhow, this is what Mets Roster Central told their wife. Transactions, 5/14/2026 COMING Signed away from CHC to Minor-League Contract, Assigned to Binghamton Outfielders Jaylen Palmer R/R DoB: 2000-07-31 High Level: AAA (2025) After re-signing infielder Nick Roselli, previously of Levittown, SUNY Binghamton, and the Mets organization right up until they released him on April 1 of this year, the Mets Office of Second Thoughts wasn't done. Outfielder Jaylen Palmer had an even greater claim to a Mets territorial claim, having sprung from the streets of Flushing and the halls of Holy Cross High School. Jaylen played in the system from 2018 to 2024 before achieving minor-league free agency and jumping to the Cubs. But a Flushing guy is a guy you keep tabs on, and when Jaylen and his solid on-base/speed combo (and low average and power) became available again at a time of Mets need, well, a reunion was inevitable. The Palmer family — based in Canarsie — were regular supporters of Jaylen when he played for the Mets in Coney Island, so hopefully a few summer trips to Binghamton will be coming up.

A great baseball guy with a great baseball name. I remember scouring the yearbook and every guy's bio included him lettering in three sports at Peekaboo High School, but with Buzz, it was baseball all the way. He even served as a reserve infielder in the minors when he wasn't pitching. Missed the 1973 post-season. Had a great head of hair.

I told you guys that back-against-the wall baseball is good baseball. Sometimes the best baseball.

Marcus Semien, suddenly working above The Ordóñez Line.

Man, it's a good think the Mets fired Carlos Mendoza before this series and replaced him with whoever's running this team now.

And McLean out for the seventh. Keep your jets cooled, Tobias Myers.

I think it makes more sense than is generally appreciated, it's just ... nobody really feels comfortable doing it.

Here's to squeeze plays folks. Among the more neglected plays in baseball.

"Doesn't he remind you a little bit of Lenny Dykstra? Just doesn't have the tobacco juice dripping down his chin." — Gary Cohen, just now. The cat is out of the bag.

McLean has an average of 0.7 homeruns allowed per nine innings over his brief career. The league average over that period is 1.1.

Hammer. Down.

In my defense, was distracted by a dog when I wrote otherwise.

After using their top relievers in a 10th inning game, it would be nice to see the Mets ride this low pitch count of McLean's as far as they can.

Cleon remembers right! He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Willie's debut.

Cleon in the house!!
