Like Manaea and Senga before him, Peralta is a different guy from inning to inning. Like they leave it all on table dominating folks and then they've got nothing in the tank after that.

Well, a 5-0 hole is Canadian aggression.

Ronny is in for a treat:

Benge probably could have had three bags there, but played it safe.

Different Peralta that inning.

Miles is dotting some i's very nicely.

I can't care a bit about trade value. Today is all that is guaranteed. And only kinda. Justin Willard and Jared Young are the Mets house Canadians. They should have called up Jonah Tong and then they could have been the home team today.

Peralta is over-throwing, and then over-corrected by giving Guerrero a cookie.

In fairness, there's friction between Soto and myself as well. It's challenging to figure how Green and/or Lindor could have alienated the other so quickly.

Well, if you're not watching, it's worth tuning in just to see the outfield wall covered end-to-end in Canadian flags.

That's almost certainly not going to happen, but is an intriguing suggestion, in that both packages have lost value since the previous trade. The term "Getaway Day" should be rebranded as "Tyrone Taylor Day."

Lindor generally uses two hands though.

The point is reached and past. A turnaround is possible. Sure. That's always true. But the 2026 Mets have demonstrated themselves to be a bad investment. Any pursuit of incoming players would be throwing good money after bad. But they will need to field a team if and when they start cashing in assets, and newly acquired fringe players may certainly be useful in that regard.

There has been plenty of drama with his comings and goings and Spring Training usage and studly performances in Syracuse this summer and the Dominican Winter League before that. He joined the Mets for all of a day back in May, but somehow escaped his name being called to help mop up a 16-7 win, but was demoted again before the day was done. He also looks kind of like 2023 Met Dennis Santana — you know, if you squint. Mets Roster Central acknowledges that they do a lot of squinting these days. But Anderson clearly got tired of trying to get back on a Major League mound, which he hasn't toed since 2022, and asked for his release so he could sign with an NPB team, and the Mets obliged. After 3 1/2 weeks, one might have wondered if that deal was actually forthcoming, and maybe Sevvy would be back with the Mets Syracusani, but the Hanshin Carp have made the call. Joe Charles has fewer plot twists in his story. The Mets drafted him out of high school in the 25th round back in 2019, but he opted instead for an undistinguished five-year career in the ACC. He signed with those same Mets, this time as an undrafted free agent out of college, but a few weeks of double-digit ERAs at two different levels have led to his severance. Maybe he gets a chance in indy ball, but we hope he can find a way to look a little less like Vice President Vance. But that's probably mostly not his fault and we wish him the best. The real star of this post, of course, is Christopher Morel. A damn-good comp for MJ Melendez, Morel saw a lot of first-string playing time early in his career, played pretty much every position on the field while doing it, Morel — now on his fourth organization at 27 — has the flash to make himself attractive to teams, who soon grow tired of his high-slugging/low-OBP ways. The Mets have no need for him now, and so he heads to Syracuse. You may hear little of his name in a Mets context ever again, but his all-around-the-field versatility suggest that Righthanded MJ could be a guy who can fill in after July 31 for any player the Mets might care to move. And should a hard-to-recognize and easy-to-forget version of the Mets limp home in September, you might end up seeing more than a little of this guy after all.

Alvarez was hit last night by a Mauricio swing when he wandered too close to the on-deck circle. He stayed in the game and immediately hit a double.

Victory over Canada!

He also has (relatedly) had a real dearth of appearances.

Don't get cocky with that glove, Dante, Jr. Two hands on the popup.

Luis Torrens' seventh-inning homer followed by a ninth-inning walk tonight gets that ol' OPS up to .599. HE'S TOEIN' THE LINE!!

We get the bunty result anyhows. Good job, AJ. Make contact, BB.

I'd flash the shit out of the bunt sign to Alvarez here.

In fairness, his glove certainly showed up tonight.
