I think I was most disappointed by them not scoring after the Alonso leadoff double in the second. This isn't a team that will profit by playing for big innings and frittering away little ones. Four more scoreless innings by the bullpen, coming from two of the more unexpected sources. Good on them for that.

Cliff Johnson #17.

I associate him with Jeff King, and Gregg Jefferies for that matter. Guys who are way too famous coming up and end up spending a good part of their big league career fighting themselves.

Quintana had to earn about six outs that inning.

Seeing how far the throw beat d'Arnaud by on the double-play, I'm thinking that maybe Baty might have been able to go for three.

A second and possibly third missed out on the next play. And Gary keeps saying the uni looks great on TV.

Looks like the black alternative of the unis worn by Gary Carter's Fluorescent Mets teammates. [media=youtube]hIIQULPkWnk[/media]

Wow. A season's worth of power against Quintana in a single inning.

Acuña gives the Mets a good idea of what he thinks of their uniforms.

I'm sorry. Did I fart? I seem to have cleared the room.

Suddenly, strikes are not getting by Alonso.

Preston Wilson, #28.

https://www.kcmets.net/CPF/STL.png> Charlie Morton (RHP) 2-0, 3.50 ERA, 33 SO https://www.kcmets.net/CPF/NYM.png> Jose Quintana (LHP) 1-3, 5.20 ERA, 25 SO That's one messed-up looking Indian in the new Braves logo.

By the way, that's a sweep of the Cards that the Mets are coming off of.

Oops indeed, quiz cancelled.

I'm not sure who Lou Johnson is. If you mean Lou Thornton, he's not one of our guys.

Smitty was DL'd with shoulder inflammation. He had a rehab appearance with Syracuse last night, and since he's starting right out at AAA, I imagine he'll get two more appearances and be a Met by next weekend at the latest. Assuming all goes well, of course.

Drawn from many sources, bringing little fanfare as they arrived, your 2024 New York Mets bullpen is currently fourth in all the land. Their league-leading strikeout numbers are particularly impressive, and hopefull augur the notion that their performance to date is perhaps more sustainable than those of their peers.

He should finally get some serious PT there. The Angels have, like, five injured infielders, along with Trout out of the lineup.
