  1. Possibly Houston for cash. Alternatively, it could be Tampa Bay for a pair of Taylor Swift tickets.
  2. I'll surprised if he doesn't get claimed. I mean he kinda sucks, but doesn't suck suck. Didn't he win a low minor league batting title years ago? Yeah, and not that low, either. He took the Florida State League batting crown with a .320 average. Such titles, of course, are frequently deceptive, as players who excel get promoted and don't get enough appearances at one level to qualify for the batting average title, so your title means "Best Among Guys Who Weren't Good Enough to Hit Their Way out of the League." His career-long struggles are tragic. Like most such characters, he was able to show hitting ability for a week at a time here and there — especially notable in his terrific start in 2020 before injury wiped out his season — but never able to conspire with his batting coach to figure out a technique that worked consistently. Maybe tackling the dry-eye syndrome was the key, and now he's gonna take off. I was in favor of demoting Vientos in order to protect him, but I certainly didn't expect it to break that way.
  3. This would potentially leave Brandon Nimmo pretty unrivaled as senior Met. Nimmo is now the only remaining 2016 Mets and the only remaining 2017 Met.
  4. Met Hunter's avatar has changed.
  5. If they go 41–121, they'll have the modern loss record, but not the modern worst-winning-percentage record, which the Mets will (proudly?) retain. They'll be tied for first in the GB column in the standings above, but I think we can decide how to settle that if it comes to it.
  6. Ugh. Iconic Met coming and going. Didn't invent the splitter, but was probably the pitch's greatest evangelist.
  7. Sorry, Jeff. Unless you have the upper-body strength of Rusty Staub, you're not going to hit homers while choking up like that.
  8. It says something about what's going on with Lindor that even when he got a hit, he didn't run hard because he figured it would be caught.
  9. Table-setting guys, a baserunner or two on the bags for one of these homeruns would certainly help.
  10. Jon Stewart getting worried about a replay is funny TV.
  11. Bottom of the fourth somehow feels three innings later.
  12. Iwo Jima survivor for the veteran of the game.
  13. Varsho ran that harder than Marte ran his non-triple-triple.
  14. I'm not dumping nothing. Kind of miss that triple, though, and I might have fought that one harder 'n' Buck, but to what end, I dunno.
  15. If it's your first start on "regular rest," regular ain't so regular.
  16. Made it all the way up to one across. [FIMG=700]https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2023/06/screen-shot-2023-06-04-at-10.18.43-am.png[/FIMG]
  17. Pete certainly should get a day, but probably best not to sit him and Lindor at the same time. That reads less like a day of rest and more like a manager with a red ass.
  18. Tigers invent a new way to lose. With the bases loaded, and Tim Anderson at the plate, catcher Eric Haase calls for a slider, and pitcher José Cisnero misses the signal and instead throws a sinker. The crossup causes catcher Haase to miss the ball entirely, which ends up hitting umpire Cory Blaser directly in the face. The ball caroms away as the winning run scores, which turns out to almost be an afterthought as all eyes are on Blaser, who supposedly remains under observation this morning.

  19. Yeah, was thinking very much the same. It's a good day for a one-off (for now) visit to the cleanup spot for Álvarez. I also had half a mind to flirt with Vogelbach in the three spot.
