So it would be very nice to Not treat this as an either/or, 100%/0% situation. I think I also heard that there's more than one game in this series too, but I'll have to check on that and get back to you. Here comes meaningful AB #1 for Vientos.

Guillorme is looking like a goaltender out there.

Hey, the Mets face two Manhattan Jaspers in two weeks!

Fourth-inning pickoff is granted!

First-inning run is now unearned!

[FIMG=650]https://relevantmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/NewYear-1600x1066.jpg[/FIMG] "You know when the Rays decided they had seen enough of Genesis Cabrera! In the big inning!" "Mercy sakes, Cranepoolios! if I knew this was where I could exchange Bible puns with my homies, I'd have logged on a lot sooner! I was just turning on the old computie to block Todd from visiting any more Mighty Ducks sites! Those movies give him nightmares! Me too, come think of it!"

A hard rain a fallin'. Hope we can get five innings in before any weather delays, and then America can watch soccer. And on that note, the tarp comes out.

Mark Vientos just provided the Mets with two runs simply by sitting down.

This is fucking silly. I understand hyperbole fine, I understand hyperbole fine, and I understand hyperbole fine. Do you understand that I understand hyperbole fine? Because it sure is insulting to twice now read the suggestion that I don't. If you don't actually believe there is any truth whatsoever in what you are are advancing, that's not hyperbole. That's irony. "Darryl Strawberry is eight feet tall" is hyperbole. "Wally Backman is eight feet tall" is irony. If you do actually believe there is some truth in what you are are advancing, please be willing to back that up. If you don't want to be accountable for anything you write, I won't hold you accountable. But there are plenty of places on the internet where there is no accountability. This shouldn't be one.

Two out and a runner on second. That's when you really want to see Brandon swinging for the fences.

A cheap rally, but walking folks in this park is dangerous that way.

And the booth seems to also take issue.

I'm not sure why the Sox' run should be earned. Senga didn't throw the ball into centerfield.

I understand hyperbole fine. I don't understand deploying it in advancement of a position you don't actually hold.

So, you're not indicting the Buck Showalter at all?

It is certainly small, but it is, in no way, incomplete. Nor is it insane. I have no idea what "embarrassing Mary Contrary move" means.

Well, let's not be binary.

I've followed Vientos closely and rooted for him over other prospects who were getting more ink — including Brett Baty — and I'm glad for the minor league career he has put together and I hope it springboards into a long, prosperous major league career. But looking at the data above, what in the world can possibly be controversial in Showalter tapping the latter option to start on this muggy evening in July?

I can't imagine how you can write that his choices are not controversial after writing that his choice must have been made because of threats to his family. These can't both be true. Nor can they "seem" to both be true.

I can't imagine what is remotely controversial about starting a lefthanded batter against a righthanded pitcher, or alternating lefties and righties in the lineup.

Great, of course, to have Vientos back. No word (and it seems unlikely at this late hour) whether Pham is heading IL-war also.

Get a grip, Mets Twitter. If Tommy Pham is able to get in there, this may be one of MLB's more Asian/Asian-American matchups.

The Mets return to the site of two of their great 1986 victories, Mark Vientos returns to the roster, Keith Hernandez returns to the booth, and Kodai Senga makes his New England debut. Won't you return and tune in as this Mets team faces righthander Kutter Crawford?

When irony becomes substance and substance becomes irony and people are trying to get with the program but aren't sure whether they're being sincere or camping it up ... kind of makes this feel like 2023's most 1990s movie.
