  1. In the end, we get an 11-run victory. We need to redistribute those excess runs to other games! Socialism!
  2. Crazy thought, but we may get a Dom Smith pitching appearance tonight.
  3. Now it's gonna be Daniel Duarte, do your parte. I must be forgetting a game, but it feels like weeks since we've seen Kodai Senga.
  4. Two balls in a row sneaking past Albies' backhand.
  5. Austin Riley looks more every year like a righty-hitting Daniel Murphy. He's, like, costumed up for his trip to MuffyCon.
  6. A two-run lead is nice, but they used the A-relievers yesterday and they don't like doubling up. Today, it's Brazobán and please hold ón.
  7. Send the valets home because Marcus Semien is parking!
  8. Foolish take, foolish challenge there, Youngkin.
  9. You've got to let Young bat for himself here. Polanco is a pinch-hitting option, but he's so cold.
  10. The Mets should have a Knick throw out the first pitch the rest of the season. Good will is good will.
  11. Lindor's good. Under contract for five more years, too.
  12. Kumar Rockstar pitching today for the Rangers. And David Peterson going for the Cubbyholes. Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens are both in the lineup. Carson Benge, not so much. Starting Pitcher Martín Pérez LHP 6-6, 3.38 ERA, 65 SO Lineup Ronald Acuña Jr. (R) RF Drake Baldwin (L) DH Matt Olson (L) 1B Ozzie Albies (S) 2B Michael Harris II (L) CF Mauricio Dubón (R) LF Austin Riley (R) 3B Joey Bart (R) C Jim Jarvis (L) SS Starting Pitcher Zac Thornton LHP 1-1, 1.93 ERA, 17 SO Lineup A.J. Ewing (L) RF Francisco Lindor (S) SS Bo Bichette (R) 3B Luis Robert Jr. (R) CF Francisco Alvarez (R) DH Jared Young (L) 1B Tyrone Taylor (R) LF Marcus Semien (R) 2B Luis Torrens (R) C
  13. It's 4:44 PM and The Mets are sitting on their lineup, which I can only interpret as being related to a trade in the works. It's the only possible explanation.
  14. Francisco Alaverez has been an especially vexing case this season, but it's been there in a lesser sense across his career. 2026 Split PA BA OBP SLG OPS High Leverage 53 .222 .327 .267 .594 Medium Leverage 95 .262 .330 .417 .746 Low Leverage 107 .276 .336 .561 .898 Career Split PA BA OBP SLG OPS High Leverage 290 .226 .298 .418 .715 Medium Leverage 437 .244 .317 .408 .724 Low Leverage 584 .235 .313 .460 .773
  15. It isn't random. Well, that's not true, as outcomes between two competitive players abound in randomness, but it's not merely random. It is hard to corral and rassle away from the seeming randomness, but it isn't random.
  16. As is often the case with these things, stuff gets more complicated over time. Elements appear here and there and then suddenly they become necessary. Fonts narrow and space gets crowded and elements that were mostly indifferently attended to at one point (like hat insigniae) become matters of hair-tearing.
  17. Exciting new draftees signed! Thrilling new undrafted guys gathered in like repentant sinners! Rehabbers rehabbing! Minor league vets tossed aside! It's all there in the dramatic new Mets Roster Central update, "Signing Day Fun!"! As always, you can give that story a well deserved hit while jumping right to the full roster!
  18. Sounds like a memory of ... Guillo Zuñiga!
  19. In the monotone bronze, the background colors of the cap look the same to me. The only thing that makes Beltran's hat "black" is the extra-wide and fuzzy insignia that the black hats are forced to have. Seaver's hat on his plaque isn't meaningfully different from Bill Terry's or Monte Irvin's, who could each be easily mistaken for Mets by casual visitors.
  20. Oh, you're in the politics NOW!!!! In fairness to the quizmaster, the gerrymandered statelet of Northern Ireland was under different authority at the time of his birth than it was at the time of his brief Mets career, so it leaves ambiguity with regard to the question. Mets Roster Central went with the Northern Ireland flag for Falls Road-born PJ. We would do the same with any future Scottish, Welsh, or Manx Mets. "United," my butt. Or my arse. Let's go with arse.
  21. That's Cedric Landrum, damn it!
  22. Also, the plaque has underscored the terrible challenge of black Mets hats — that they always have to outline the insignia in a border color, either to distinguish it from a New York Giants cap, which it would be if they just transferred the standard orange insignia over, or to keep an alternative blue insignia from getting lost in the black. So here, rendered in monotone bronze, it just makes the insignia look blurry, which honest is kind of how the Mets insignia almost always looks on black hats.
  23. None of them really do initially to me, but I kind of adapt, realizing that building this kind of compressed 3-D relief from 2-D images is hard. I like that they recognized his entire post-season career — which was massive and historic — instead of just noting the run with the 2004 Astros. I had forgotten about his tenure with Texas, which was a bad post-season for him.
