    The manager's job perhaps should be to win that day's game, but clearly that isn't the priority. It wasn't last night, it wasn't the before last night, it wasn't before Andy Green got the gig, and it hasn't been for a while. The first job of the Mets' manager, and I imagine most managers, is sustainability — sustaining today's assets so they will be available for tomorrow, and usually, it's a tomorrow that never comes. I reject that — every game is somebody's first and it's somebody else's last, and it should be played (and managed) that way — but it's the way it is in 2026.

    Winning is clearly not a priority. If there were shots of Soto in the dugout grabbing a bat, and pestering the manager to let him pinch-hit, that might have been something. But if showcasing is a priority, they probably ought to send Benge, Ewing, McLean, Scott, and Thornton back down until after the deadline. They can get their playing time, and more room is available for Operation Showroom. I don't want this, but pretending to keep some sort of balance isn't a pretty picture. Baty is stuck somewhere in the middle — not really being showcased for a selloff, but not really looking like a part of the team's future either. More playing time may help allow him to change his trajectory for now. Maybe he can get more of a foothold in one category or another with a good week. Dubious, but, I dunno. If they move Bichette, though, third base becomes wide open for him once more.

    That's $50 million worth of benchwarming.
  4. Edgy MD
    Fanflgbt.
  5. Edgy MD
    And no pinch-runners available for Alvy. PUT IN MCLEAN!!
  6. Edgy MD
    Not batting for Francisco either. Goodness gracious.
  7. Edgy MD
    Soto for Torrens? That's good too.
  8. Edgy MD
    Or walk your way on. That's good too. Soto pinch-hitting for Semien here would have been acceptable.
  9. Edgy MD
    Bunt your way on against this post-up pitcher.
  10. Edgy MD
    No, Polanco has shown some wheels since his has been back. Alvarez, Vientos, Soto, Wagaman, and (disappointingly) Bichette and Mauricio have all been slower than him when gunning it this year.
  11. Edgy MD
    Polanco batting for his own self with Soto just sitting there.
  12. Edgy MD
    They left out "Red Roses for a Blue Lady."
  13. Edgy MD
    Keep hitting Lindor second!
  14. Edgy MD
    The Mets could have also put both Taylor and Robert in the outfield, brought Ewing in to play second, and moved Semien to first.
  15. Edgy MD
    I trust him coming and going making those challenges as a catcher, but as a hitter he seems to be coming from a completely different place.
  16. Edgy MD
    The Mets could have moved Polanco to first and lost the DH, but put Torrens over there instead. Because Torrens is Venezuelan for Torre.
  17. Edgy MD
    And Ro-behr instead hits for Baty.
  18. Edgy MD
    I would have been tempted to give that pinch-hit at-bat to Robert, considering his thunderbolt last night.
  19. Edgy MD
    It seem like, for about five years, you pitch Yellich inside and you own him, but the Mets are sure leaving it over the plate for him today.
  20. Edgy MD
    Polanco is the returning rehabber not getting with the powa program.
  21. Edgy MD
    6-4-3!!!
  22. Edgy MD
    One out and bezes loaded for Vaughn. Play back for the double-play, right?
  23. Edgy MD
    Bad ball by Bichy.
  24. Edgy MD
    Lindor, after losing his bat, was rooting for it to stay fair.
  25. Edgy MD
    A measure of Brettdemption.
