7:10 PM, on SNY and the MLB Network. See you then, weather permitting.

I respect KC for taking the initiative to generate an in-game thread, complete with accurate information, shortly after the last game shuts down. That's engagement!

Down 8-5 with two out in the ninth this afternoon, third baseman Nick Meyer (he's usually a catcher) cracked a three-run homer to tie it all up, and the https://www.milb.com/gameday/red-sox-vs-mets/2023/08/06/722748/final/boxMets beat the WooSox in the 10th with the clown car action. The game represented Justin Jarvis' AAA debut, and while five runs (three earned) in three innings is inauspicious, the cause was served. Tomás Nido went 4-for-5, raising his batting average to .313 and his OPS to .844.

I'm totally down with taking away the first pick. I just want them to take away all the other picks, too.

Good job with the early opener.

Hey, Mets Roster Central staff have caught up! Clearly the failure keep pace with the organization's awesome rate of transaction activity was keeping the team from winning!!

With a 4.91 ERA in 11 innings, he didn't exactly pitch his way off the team, so much as make himself an easy choice to drop when all the roster shuffling went down. The Syracuse team also lost two roster spots when two pitchers in two days got dinged for sticky fingers, so things got tight But hey, we signed a skinny, big-eared kid from Taijuan Walker's hometown!

now, got his career off to a rip-roaring start, promoted all the way from high-A and turning in two terrific seasons out of the pen for the Dodgers in 2020 and 2021, but has more or less just been a guy since then. He's really checked a lot of boxes, being a former first-round draft pick, enjoying a banned-substance suspension as a minor-leaguer, and rocking a classic relief-pitcher head of hair and facial fuzz. Sadly, it hasn't added up to much Metly so far. Adam Kolarek labored for six years as a Mets minor leaguer, reaching the top of the chain before being released at the end of 2015. That was dumb, as Kolarek would soon establish himself as a mostly successful LOOGy, before new rools made LOOGys a bunch of dinosaurs. Now he takes his extreme splits (.854 career OPS vs. righties, .501 vs. lefties) to Syracuse. If you're an Immaculate Grid player, Rafael Ortega is your friend. Though he's only 32, the Mets are his tenth organization, including two tenures with the Rangers. Sadly they are only his sixth MLB assignment, having previously played for (get out your pencils) the Rockies, the Angels, the Marlins, the Braves, and the Cubs for the last two seasons.

Jonathan Araúz may seem like the Rafael Ortega of infielders ... and he may in fact play like the Rafael Ortega of infielders ... but he's a pretty rare bird, being only the sixth Panamanian-born Met to suit up and play for the team.

Starling Marte hasn't gotten far in demonstrating that there is much difference between the active version of himself in 2023 and the Injured List version, but he always seems game to try.

That was like trying to win a crew race without any oars. Six days in a row.

Hey, we got the tying run to the plate! No double-play opportunity (at the current time) either!

Only O runs coming on futzy defense and groundout RBIs.

Another very good outing by Q-Tip.

Mets opted not to pinch-hit a righty for Stewart, which I guess means Marte is on ice. The other option — pinch-hitting Álvarez and putting Nimmo in the outfield — was also apparently unpalatable.

McNulty either likes hitting in Baltimore or suddenly likes hitting leadoff. Dang, Alonso worked the walk!

Down with the tax!

Well, a different approach by Alonso would certainly be better than the alternative, which would be the Mets refusing to put runners on in front of him.

James McCann = Highest-paid player on the Orioles roster.

=nymr83 post_id=134162 time=1691291909 user_id=54] McNeil looks terrible, but I'm not so sure he is hurt - he looked just like this in 2021 - maybe this is who he is now

Syndergaard should have just yelled and banged a bat on the ground and everybody would have fallen down.

Meet the Mets' newest undrafted free agent, https://www.paducahsun.com/sports/sims-continues-family-baseball-legacy-signs-with-new-york-mets/article_25e04111-c1a5-5719-b624-a0f4dd3c44e7.htmlHale Sims! Hale is a big palooka (6'4"/290 according to his collegiate profile) from down in Paducah. He's also the grandson of longtime MLB catcher and coach, and minor league manager, Phil Roof, who played long enough to start his career with the Milwaukee Braves and finish it with the expansion-year Toronto Blue Jays. Phil is the older brother of Reagan-era MLB outfielder Gene Roof and cousin of Eddie Haas, who replaced Joe Torre as skipper of the Braves. In all, Hale — late of the UNC-Charlotte bullpen (go, Forty-Niners!) will be the 16th member of the Roof/Haas/Sims family to play pro ball across several generations of Major League and Minor League diamonds. And my goodness, he looks like he will be the biggest. https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2023/08/screen-shot-2023-08-05-at-10.49.29-pm.png>

They were in the game for about 10 seconds there. You missed it. It was a no-win situation there in the middle innings. The Mets seemed doomed if they pulled Megill, and ultimately were doomed for leaving him in.

Oh-for-August.

Vogel with a liner, and Marte with a flail. Two out and the tying run is named D.J. Stewart, on double deck.

Alonso opens the ninth wif a double. Baty is the tying run on double deck.

The Orioles are relentless. Look a little like the Mets a year ago, if you squint.

Get a hit guys They responded Even Jeffy [fimg=300]https://cdnmarquee.comicskingdom.com/system/blog/feature/999/Family_Circus_v.20190714-8of9.jpg[/fimg]
