The judges also would have accepted Tim Leary and Grant Roberts.

I don't like how McLean swings his leg to put body English on his breaking pitches. It could turn into a tip, it could lead to over-throwing, and it doesn't leave him in position to field.

Will Smith took his foot off the base while doing his dance. Stay with the tag, Mets.

Welcome to 2026, Francisco LIndor,

"Nolan McLean has been as special as any young pitcher the Mets have ever had." — Gary Cohen "Eh, let's just put that cheese back in the fridge." — Edgy MD

He blistered in the sun. His big hands got overexposed.

Brain thinking, right there.

Benge. The #9 guy is Benge. Some shit just went down in my house as I was posting. My apologies. I get distracted.

Well, he's not batting leadoff, but he sure is sneaking up the lineup. Or maybe that's just an illusion matter of perspective, and in actuality, several others are falling back while he stands still # NEW YORK POS. # LOS ANGELES POS. 1 Francisco Lindor (S) ss 1 Shohei Ohtani (L) dh 2 Luis Robert, Jr. (R) cf 2 Kyle Tucker (L) rf 3 Jorge Polanco (S) dh 3 Will Smith (R) c 4 Bo Bichette (R) 3b 4 Freddie Freeman (L) 1b 5 Francisco Alvarez (R) c 5 Teoscar Hernandez (R) lf 6 Brett Baty (L) rf 6 Max Muncy (L) 3b 7 Mark Vientos (R) 1b 7 Andy Pages (R) cf 8 Marcus Semien (R) 2b 8 Hyeseong Kim (L) ss 9 Carson Benge (L) rf 9 Alex Freeland (S) 2b The Only Nolan (R) sp Yoshinobu Yamamoto (R) sp

Well, I recommend a viewing. It is equal-parts Japanese and Hollywood in tone. It has some of the Tokyo metropolitan alienation themes of Lost in Translation, with less of the technological and pop-culture trappings people lose themselves in. I gave it four stars out of five. I might have given it 3 1/2 twenty years ago, but I am so disenchanted by contemporary films, that my standards have changed. These days, I tend to find I am in the hands of (a) AI, (b) corporate delusion trying to cluelessly clone other successful films without a clue how or why they worked, or (c) a charismatic-but-insane guy who talked a major studio out of their money so he could use it to take a giant hit on their lawn. But this felt like honest storytelling — with honest writers and actors and directors getting you from point A to point B with a nuance you almost forgot existed in films — and his has you predicting what happens next with only some confidence, while sometimes surprising you when you are dead-wrong.

Bohm has also dropped The Boras Corporation and gone back to his original agents.

This guy right here. Only way to catch the magic.

The curious thing is the utter lack of walks, or even deep counts. Last night, the only guys who seemed engaged over the course of an at-bat were Bichette and Vientos, and I'm not suggesting it was necessarily consistent over the course of the evening for either of them. They get a rare guy on in the ninth and Lindor (who needs a day off) went up there first-pitch swinging.

Over-swinging all night, and over-swinging ends it. Just a beautiful old-skool job by the Dodgers. Very embittering.

Amazingly, they pull Wrobleski after eight innings and 90 pitches. Baseball managers are crazy people. Tanner Scott in 66 is a living insult to Yasiel Pugh.

Looks like I've been alone on this train for at least four stops. One more chance to dent the scoreboard. It'd certainly be a moral victory just to get Edwin up.

This guy only has two strikeouts.

Number 1299 Joey Gerber KILLING it with his leg kick as he debuts with a strikeout of Kyle Tucker. Also sporting some thunderdimples.

Welcome, Joey Gerber!! Look't that kick!

Blutarsky is getting it done.

In the great tradition of pre-game plans to be aggressive, these Mets are really going down quickly.

ALL-TIME 39s Dave Parker Edwin Doug Sisk Evuhbody else.

Or no.

Let's see a PhamSlam here.

Francisco Alvarez — four homers and four RBI. That's sub-optimal.
