Lucchesi adds to the torridness, getting a bunch of those righthanders.

=ashie62 post_id=137411 time=1694645492 user_id=90] Good, he should AZ shortstop Jordan Lawlar is #10 on the MLB pipeline rankings They are looking to him to become one of the faces of the franchise sooner rather than later, teaming with Corbin Carroll He is 1-13 to start his career whiffing seven times

He's almost certainly got an MLB contract in his near future.

A low-grade teres major strain is exactly the injury that delayed (and possibly continued to undermine) the launch of Justin Verlander's Mets careeer.

Both managers bend over backwards to shake up their lineups, with Buck stacking his order with lefties and Torey Lovullo filling his card with righties. This must mean the Mets are starting a lefty, and — HOLY CRAP! — the guy on the hill is somebody who wasn't even on the roster when I last checked an hour ago! Welcome back, Joey Fuego!!

The 'Backs reached the post-season faster than any expansion team in history before being taken down by the Mets and a juiced-up Todd Pratt. Buck was rewarded by being fired on the eve of Arizona's first and only championship. I doubt he has payback on his mind. It's been a while. But if you find yourself in the vicinity of Buck and don't sense there is enough fire in his belly, please feel free to remind him.

Right, so his fandom is a grade-school origin, rather than a mid-teens launch, so it's more about Chris Donnels and Anthony Young than Piazza and Alfonzo. Which, you know, I can't not salute.

Hi, I'm Kyle Schwarber, and I not only did not win Rookie of the Year, I was not even given a single third-place vote, and anyone who thought I did win is an idiot, and deserves the ruined Immaculate grid it gives him. I would, however, love for A Boy Named Seo's guess to come out legit. https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/screen-shot-2023-09-13-at-2.17.09-pm.png>

Whatever the circumstances, the transaction and his replacement on the roster by Reed Garrett allowed the Mets to swap a Reid for a Reed. Mets Roster Central regrets that Garrett didn't get brought on for the save last evening, which might have allowed Faith and Fear in Flushing to write another compelling first-win/first-save/first-homer column, but with the understanding that bringing in a less accomplished pitcher merely to achieve a novel and coincidental historical statistic is almost never a winning strategy over the long haul, that regret is somewhat tempered. The deliberate return of Luis Guillorme takes him on to the post-season bound Binghamton Rumble Ponies, and while we sense the impending end of Jonathan Araúz' tenure (his appearance on defense in the ninth inning yesterday evening kind of sparked and "oh yeah, him" moment among our staff), it is worth noting that Guillorme has already been optioned once this season, and remains optionable for whatever weeks remain, so his ultimate return is not a fait accompli.

I can't find any quotes from him, but one clue is that, in the past he has been listed as 6'3"/255 or so, and now MiLB.com has him at 6'3"/223. That could be a correction of an earlier missed-entered figure, or it could be that the guy has shed some excess weight and that has helped. Comparing current photos and videos to those from two years ago certainly supports the latter notion, but I don't know.

It's always nice when a guy who has been around a while in the minors suddenly gets it, and makes a name for himself just before the team is forced to put him on the roster or watch him reach free agency. Force that issue, Son. But that's not quite what happened to Joander Suarez this season. Pitching for high-A Brooklyn in his fifth minor league season over six years (sitting out 2020, naturally), the Upscalin' Venezuelan didn't knock anybody on their asses with a 5.08 ERA over 90 1/3 innings, walking 45 batters along the way, but he certainly established himself as a rotation staple with 118 strikeouts in that same 90 1/3 innings, the first time in his career he saw such extensive use. Still, a 5.08 ERA is a 5.08 ERA. But end-of-season attrition being what it is, that was good enough to get Joander called up to AA Binghamton. And then something happened. In his first start for Bingo, Jo-Jo locked up against the Nats-affiliated Harrisburg Senators, and damned if the line in his Eastern League debut wasn't six innings of no-hit, one-walk, shutout ball in the Rumble Ponies 1-0 win over the Senators. The feat was enough to earn Suarez Eastern League Pitcher of the Week. A no-hit debut!! But hey, it was the Senators, last place in the Eastern League's Southwest Division at 26-38 (as of tonight). Lightning can hit anybody for one night. A blind squirrel and all that. But surely by his next game, against the Rockies-affiliated Hartford Yard Goats, somebody would have a scouting report. But holy shit! This time he went seven innings! And as it was a double-header, seven innings means "complete game"! And damned if he didn't allow no hits AGAIN! A complete-game no-hitter, and a second consecutive Eastern League Pitcher of the Week Award!!! So that's Joander Suarez' AA line so far: 13 innings pitched, 0 runs, 0 hits, 2 walks, 0 hit batsmen, 10 strikeouts. Unblemished! An Unfailin' Venezuelan! If the rotation continues on beat, he'll get a chance to make some more history on Thursday against the Reading Fightin' Phils. And then, who knows? There's probably a good chance that he joins the team for the playoffs and gets to test his newfound invulnerability against top competition. Maybe he gets assigned to the Arizona Fall League? Maybe he gets an invite to Spring Training? Whatever happens, two weeks ago, he was just another player. Now, suddenly, he's a guy. https://img.mlbstatic.com/milb-images/image/upload/t_16x9/t_w372/milb/b47uixbapjmzjbn5rjbj.jpg> [media=youtube]XPaQQgz92lM[/media]

I keep getting mlb.tv adds asking me to vote for the Roberto Clemente Award. I can't see where putting the award to a public vote adds to its credibility.

If the Mets don't score again, and they let Reed Garrett finish up, they could have their second first-career-win/first-career-save/first-career-homer game of the season.

The story sounds familiar, my recollections of all-stuff Mets is not what it used to be. It was September 1, 1983, but because the Tides were still making a run at the championship and because the Mets were so far out of contention that they didn't exactly need reinforcements at the big league level, not a lot of my other teammates had gotten the call along with me. In any case, no one else joined the big club on the same day. Clint Hurdle came the following week, along with Mike Fitzgerald, but for the time being, I didn't really know anybody. I kept to myself; I remember that. And I was careful not to say or do anything too stupid or rookie-like; I remember that most of all. My keep-a-low-profile strategy didn't prevent me from standing out. On my very first day with the team, I put on my crisp, clean new uniform and made my way to the Mets dugout, about thirty minutes before anybody else. I wanted to soak it all in. It was a warm, sultry night. After a while, my new teammates started to trickle in. I'd been to spring training that year, so I knew some of the guys, but I wasn't about to say a word. I wanted to stay out of everybody's way, that's all. I sat by myself on the bench, but no one else was sitting. Guys were fooling around, roughhousing, talking about their post-season plans. I hardly noticed, to tell the truth. I was just so excited. I must have looked like such a rube, sitting there the end of the bench in my too-white uniform, too chickenshit to talk to anyone, but I didn't care. I was just happy to be there. Finally, Ron Hodges headed in my direction. He'd been a catcher for the Mets for years and years—since the team's “You Gotta Believe!” 1973 season, when they nearly won the World Series. He wasn't in the lineup, but he'd just finished warming up the pitcher and he'd come back to the dugout to stow some of his gear. He looked at me; for a beat or two I thought he might come over and introduce himself, maybe welcome me to the team. Sure enough, he did walk over, but he didn't introduce himself. Or maybe he did, only not in the way I was expecting. He just gave me a sidelong look and spit a think wad of tobacco juice onto my clean white pant leg. He didn't say anything. He just spit, and the tobacco juice left a huge, ugly brown stain. Then he walked to the other end of the bench and continued to put his equipment away. I wanted to crawl under the dugout bench and die. Today's ballplayers are issued two or three sets of pants with each uniform, but I had only that one pair. I couldn't go back to my locker and change. I had to sit there, all through my first game as a professional baseball player, with my jacket draped over my pants to hide the stain. It would have been funny if there had been a couple other veterans around to take in the scene—a textbook example of rookie hazing. At least I would have had the chance to be a good sport about it. I might have even understood it if Ron had said something to me afterward. I could have shrugged it off, like it was nothing at all. But I don't think anyone else was even watching, and Ron didn't say anything either, so it was just a weirdly mortifying, humiliating moment. It put me in my place—to be taken down a couple of notches for no good reason but the perverse pleasure of it. It seemed so cruel, so arbitrary. But that's baseball, I guess. It builds you up like nothing else, and then it knocks you right back down again.

Looks like the Mets are starting to seriously regret the two ducks they left out there last inning.

D.J.'s breakthrough as a hitter has been a revelation, and he's clearly hustling to do his best on defense, but he should never be considered anything but an emergency option in the outfield. It's September and the Mets dropped Pham and Canha at the deadline and parked Marte on the shelf, so an emergency is sort of where the team is, but it'd be hard for any serious team to open a season with both Stewart and Vogelbach on the roster while first base is blocked.

Polar Power is operative.

It's too bad Ronnie isn't in the booth. He has a good account of being hazed by Hodges as a rookie, and time didn't seem to have softened the bitterness.

Joe Nathan would have worked also. He had two partial seasons with the Giants at the top of his career, mostly as a starter, and threw 4 1/3 innings of mopup in his last season. He had a total of 377 saves, only one of which was as a Giant, but he would have worked. I went with Armando, but he came up 11 saves short of 300, largely attributable to two meh years as a Giant coming off a superstar year as a Marlin.
